[Neighbors] Liquor License Request, Happy Accidents, 3225 Central Ave. NE

[Gary Eyster]

Nob Hill Friends and Neighbors,

 

Our association has received the attached applications No.1180839 and
1180392 for Restaurant Liquor License (Beer and Wine) and Craft Distiller,
Happy Accidents, 3225 Central Ave NE. The CABQ Liquor Hearing Officer will
hear the request on April 6 at 9:00 am. Comments can be accepted by Donna
Montoya  <mailto:donna at cabq.gov> donna at cabq.gov until 72 hours before the
hearing. All are welcome to comment directly to her if desired.

 

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 or
a question.

 

-Operators of the business: Kate Gerwin and Blaze Worden-Zalesky

-Contact information: KateGerwin at me.com

-Current and recent operations with alcohol service and period of operation:
Neither owner holds a license. The last license either held was Ms. Gerwin
at Casa Vieja Restaurant in Corrales about 11 years ago.

-Food menu: "The menu will change often, depending on what our chef can get
from her purveyors. We are excited to offer what we believe is accessible
yet diverse comfort food."

-Hours of operation:

Tuesday - Thursday          11am-10pm

Friday - Saturday               11 am - midnight

Sunday                                  10 am - 10pm

Monday                                closed

 

.Measures the applicant plans relative to security: Cameras locally
recorded.

Owners and management team have all been trained in De-Escalation, Bystander
Intervention, Implicit Bias. We are grateful for the opportunity to be an
integral part of the coming Nob Hill REBIRTH!

 

There is no call summary from APD because there are no current or recent
operations. 

 

At 5 pm on March 30 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 adjacent to 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 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 or attend the CABQ hearing
in a personal capacity.
