[Neighbors] FW: Project # PR-2021-005724, VA-2021-00284: Public House ABQ, LLC

Thu Aug 12 09:53:08 MDT 2021

Also in response to Stephen and Flora

The decision was made at the board meeting. It was to not support the application unless certain conditions were met. These conditions have not been met.
 As I have said at every meeting concerting this application I have no doubts that they will obtain the conditional approval needed as the Zoning Department supports businesses over neighborhoods. (from what I have seen in the past)  
I think the Public House could offer incentives for people to walk and take the bus with free appetizers/wine…I am sure they could come up with something. I hope what seems like a disaster coming to our neighborhood does not happen. I think keeping the entrance on Hermosa does not need to be part of this business plan.
 I am still very concerned about employee parking and customer parking as well. Employees especially need to not park on Hermosa. Seven days a week with no rest from this activity is a concern that many neighbors have also expressed concern. This project is not a good fit for this neighborhood.  I continue to not support this venture.

People have different sleep patterns. How about the health care professionals or first responders who may live in the area? Any consideration for them, especially with them having to deal with all the  COVID issues?

One night after a bar closed a couple cruised onto Arlote and Silver SE, made themselves comfortable on my neighbor's front lawn, stark naked and were having sex.  The establishment and others were closed.  This was years before ART and there was plenty of room on Central to cruise after hours but they still chose to cruise through residential areas.

Another charter school was opened this week along the same route.  Kids walking to school, riding bicycles, skateboarding.  What if it was your child or grandchild living in the area near a liquor licensed establishment?

If residents will be walking to the establishment, they should be able to take a few more steps around the corner to the front door of High and Dry. We all walk to businesses on Central now, so why are a few more steps to the Copper entrance so objectionable? The Hermosa door should be an emergency only exit as I have stated at the first meeting and also in writing to Consensus Planning.

An entrance on Hermosa would be a loitering spot where patrons would step outside for a smoke and would gather after leaving the establishment to hang around saying goodbye, especially now that the existing parking will remain somewhat intact.

During Somerfest in Nob Hill last Saturday, we could clearly hear the music in the parking lot of Fan Tang several blocks away, and that's only once a year!
> 
> Let me ask you this, neighbors. Would you want High and Dry directly across the street from your home? Think about it. With all that said, my wife and I have agreed to accept High and Dry with two conditions; 1) No entrance or patio on Hermosa and 2) No parking on Hermosa beyond the existing off-street parking spaces that currently exist.
