Resolution Regarding substarr,tu, affipplication of Savoy suites HotelABRA Lic. #0908M Registered to CS Bond ST AB-S Holdings LLC

Whereas, the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Adminisffation has set August lO,2Ol5,as the deadline for objecting to Savoy Suites'plans for expanded outdoor service andentertainment;

Whereas, ANC3B does not meet in August and therefore must deal with this issue atour regularly scheduled July 9th meeting despite the fact that negotiations are ongoingbetween Savoy Suites, ANC3C, Massachusetts Avenue Heights Citizens'Association(MAHCA), Georgetown Heights Condominium Association, and ANC3B;

Whereas, Savoy Suites is located in ANC3C-08 which is an R-l-B residentialneighborhood, ANC3B is participating in settlement negotiations because (1) the areawe represent abuts the hotel to the wes! and (2) the hotel is included in the GloverPark Moratorium Zone and contributes to ANC3B's concerns about peace, order andquiet, pa*ing and liuer in the Glover Park commercial district;

Whereas, ANC3B's conceflrs about peace, order and quiet have led to a consistentapproach towards limiting both the hours during which alcohol can be served onoutdoor roof decks and the kind of entertainment allowed outside;

Whereas, ABC licensees with roof decks orroof deck end.orsements in the Glover Parkcommercial district all have voluntary/settlement agreements as follows:

Surfside, 2444Wisconsin Avenue, must clear its roof deck by midnight Sundaythrough Saturday and can only play recorded, unamplified music that cannot beheard beyond its premises.

Mason Inn, 24AB Wisconsin Avenue, has a roof deck endorsement which is notbeing used. It must clear its proposed roof deck by I 1:30 p.m. Sunday throughThursday and by midnight Friday and Saturday, with no music allowed and TVsound on mute.

2218 Wisconsin Avenue has a roof deck endorsement, also not in use, thatrestricts hours to 10:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11:30 p.m. Fridayand Safurday, with no music or TVs allowed.

Whereas, ANC3B strongly believes that a consistent policy towards alcohol serviceand entertainment on roof decks benefits everyone by protecting the peace, order andquiet of the community without giving unfair advantage to one licensed establishmentover another;

Whereas, ANC3B is hopeful that a sefflement can be reached with the hotel'sneighbors that (1) respects their concerns about peace, order, and quiet, parking andtrash sontrol, and (2) does not exceed the precedent set in the Glover Park commercialdistrict of roof deck closures no later than midnight with limited or no amplifiedmusic;

Therefore, if a settlement cannot be reached by the August 10 petition deadline,ANC3B resolves to file a protest with the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board againstSavoy Suites' substantial change application on the grounds of peace, order and quiet,parking, and litter (trash conftol), with &e hope that the extra time will allow asefflement agreement to be finalized before the scheduled hearing date of August24,2015;

Further, ANC3B appoints Commissioner Jackie Blumenthal to represent theCommission in this matter.

Resolved by a vote of 4 ta 0 at the duly scheduled meeting of ANC3B on July 9,2015, at which a quonrm was present.

July 9, 2015
