[Neighbors] Request for Restaurant Beer and Wine Liquor License, Clowndog Hot Dog Parlor

[Melodie Eyster]

Nob Hill Friends and Neighbors,

 

Our neighborhood association has received the attached application for
Restaurant Beer/Wine Liquor License with on premise consumption and waiver
as the premise is located within 300 ft. of the nearest church (Immanuel
Presbyterian), Application No. 1176521, 3624 Central Ave SE. The CABQ
Alcohol Hearing Officer will hear the request on Dec 15, 2020. Comments can
be submitted to  <mailto:donna at cabq.gov> donna at cabq.gov until 72 hours
before the hearing.

 

When your association learns of a liquor license application we contact the
applicant to gather information. We pass this to our email list to gather
neighborhood input. If neighbors express questions or concerns we seek
further information. We invite you to reply to all if you have a position on
this request.

 

·Operator of the business: Clowndog LLC whose sole owner is Richard J.
Bartel

 

-Contact information:  <mailto:richbartel73 at gmail.com>
richbartel73 at gmail.com  and 504-4535 for Mr. Bartel. Restaurant:
<mailto:admin at clowndoghotdogs.onmicrosoft.com>
admin at clowndoghotdogs.onmicrosoft.com and 255-0052.

·Current and recent operations with alcohol service and period of operation:
no others. Mr. Bartel has worked in Nob Hill for several decades at Gecko’s
Bar & Tapas and before that for O’Niell’s Irish Pub.

-Food menu: A hip, casual menu primarily of gourmet hot dogs and sandwiches,
plus a selection of entrées, appetizers/side dishes, meal-sized salads, and
desserts.  

-Hours of operation; although hours of operation are not generally part of
the liquor hearing they are of interest to our members: 11 AM to 9 PM daily

·Measures the applicant plans relative to security: No specific security has
been retained. Applicant states the business will take all reasonable
measures to provide a safe environment for patrons and neighbors.  

We are not attaching a call summary from APD for the address since the
restaurant has not opened.

 

At 5:00 pm on Dec. 10 NHNA will evaluate input received. When input is
neutral or positive we generally don’t develop an association position.  If
input suggests strong concerns or directors have strong concerns we will
call a special board meeting to explore an association position. We will
notify the email list of this special meeting and all are welcome. 

 

At such a meeting the board generally considers the expected impact on
community safety and quality of life and factors including, but not limited
to, calls for police service at applicant's operations and security plans. 

 

Hours of service and services offered are not generally part of the hearing
officer’s consideration but may affect the association’s position.

 

Locations near Residential Zone Districts (IDO 14-16-2-3) are problematic,
particularly if affected neighbors oppose.

 

Naturally, neighbor input is crucial. 

 

We will notify the email list, the liquor hearing officer, and the applicant
of the association’s action coming out of such a special meeting. 

 

All members of the community are free to contact the applicant and to
provide written comments to the hearing officer or attend the CABQ hearing
in a personal capacity.
