[Neighbors] Change of Floor Plan/Expansion of Liquor Licensed Premises application for Soo Bak Seoul Bowl, 111 Hermosa SE

[Melodie Eyster]

Friends and Neighbors,

Nob Hill Neighborhood Association sent out the email below on March 12
saying At 5 pm on Mar. 15 NHNA would 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.

As of today, which is an additional 24 hours, we received five replies from
our email list, all in support. 

I did not hear concerns from any director.

Consistent with our policy in the email below this does not strike me as a
situation where we should call a special board meeting or develop an
association position.

I am copying Ms. Montoya who is the coordinator for the Liquor Hearing
Officer who will place it in the record.

All are free to comment to Ms. Montoya in the timeframe in the email below.

Thank you to all who participated in the dialogue. That's how we make Nob
Hill a better place.

Kind regards, Gary Eyster, President

Attached is a call summary from APD for the addresses.

 

At 5 pm on Mar. 15 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 that 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) can be
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 from such a special meeting. 

 

All members of the community are free to contact the applicant and to
provide written comments to the hearing officer.
