In regards to the OLM site, Sammy Catania called me first thing yesterday morning to apprise me that the purchaser of the OLM properties was going to appear at both the next Auburn and North of Literary meetings. Sammy expressed they are proposing a hospitality venue as of this point as part of their design, which I still believe the rear would be some level of residential and or living space. Sammy then stated they will be requesting a liquor license for a high end use, and cigar sales. Questioning then cigars it would be assumed they would have to have a patio area because it against the state law to smoke inside.
I asked Sammy to read the post card sent to Auburn. It did only state "Hospitality Venue", it failed to state a liquor license was being proposed.

Guy,
Just a reminder about the Auburn Block Club meeting this evening - 7:00 pm I believe.
I understand it is held in the Pilgrim Church?

Guy, perhaps you and Angel should attend the Auburn Block Club meeting on Thursday night.
I am thinking about attending the meeting to get a feel for what is being proposed and how the club members feel.

Thank you Henry for the clarifications.
In the brief discussion last evening, I did not want to get into the fact that the individual who called about OLM did assume that there would be a liquor license request.
And as I stated last evening rumors are that the Old Jennings place is planned for another brewery - only speculation I guess.
Just a point to ponder, hasn't Councilman Cimperman stated openly over the past couple of years that he would not support any additional liquor license approvals in Tremont? In reviewing some of the more recent establishments, it seems that he has already gone back on his work. Just my point of view.
Please keep me informed of any open meetings/dsicussions on both these matters.
Thanks.
Jerleen

Hello Ms. Justus, All:
In regards to the St. George's property (old Jennings Theatre Building), it is my understanding that their has not been a contractual arrangement setup with a final tenant for the space. I would request you contact St. George's or Tom Leneghan directly. I do know Mr. Beudert has attended several Auburn block club meetings to discuss concepts and get ideas. But obviously no final plans for this site have been reviewed, nor has Auburn voted to support any design, because they do not know what the final product is. I also believe Chairperson Capwell has been continually apprised by TWDC staff Sammy Catania.
It is premature for TWDC Eco. Development to entertain this project until: one a final design and business plans is achieved, and two it goes to Auburn for a level of support.
In my review, I believe that no variances are needed for the St. George's site because there is plenty of parking in the St. George's rear lot that is currently not used for any business use. This is unless the end user wants to provide live entertainment, then they would need a variance.
Please also remember TWDC Eco. Development has met with St. George's to untilize the rest of their parking lot for shared parking for the existing businesses. I would hope they would still consider this so we (TWDC) could leverage additional secured parking to relieve street parking and the crime and thefts that are occurring with that.
In regards to the OLM site, Sammy Catania called me first thing yesterday morning to apprise me that the purchaser of the OLM properties was going to appear at both the next Auburn and North of Literary meetings.
Sammy expressed they are proposing a hospitality venue as of this point as part of their design, which I still believe the rear would be some level of residential and or living space. Sammy then stated they will be requesting a liquor license for a high end use, and cigar sales. Questioning then cigars it would be assumed they would have to have a patio area because it against the state law to smoke inside.
I asked Sammy to read the post card sent to Auburn. It did only state "Hospitality Venue", it failed to state a liquor license was being proposed.
I then called both Lynn Murray, Auburn resident to let her know to get the word out. Also I called TWDC President Alvarado last night to inform him of this matter.
I am not available to attend the Auburn block club meeting do to commitments at the Lincoln Heights block club the same evening. I will try to sit in at NOL.
Since we all really do not have a idea on the concept, we must find out what the proposals entail. I am sure both block clubs will be wanting to know much more before making any decisions.
Once the operator goes to the block clubs I am sure they will be on the agenda of TWDC Eco Development in November. We as the TWDC Committee will have to review both projects especially when their is already street parking issues. We owe it to the existing businesses to vet this, they rely solely on street parking and we must look out for their vibrancy before supporting a new venue especially if they would rely only on street parking.
Thank you for your concerns, I would make sure you attend the November ED Committee for an update.
respectfully,
Henry P. Senyak
Chairperson TWDC Economic Development Committee.
PS, I am adding the emails of NOL into this thread, and Judge Lynn Murray.

Good Morning Henry
As a follow-up In With regard to topic/issues discussed at last night's Safety Committee and a number of phone calls/conversations I've had for the past couple of months with residents living in the West 11th, West 14th and Auburn Block Club area with concerns about the possible plans for new business(s) slated for that neighborhood, could you please clarify whether or not new liquor licenses will be sought for the old Jennings Theatre owned by St. George's church? Other concerns mentioned are the number of patios possibly planned to be added at this location.
Also, yesterday afternoon I received a call that cards were recently mailed out indicating that Our Lady of Mercy Church, on West 11th, was being targeted for another hospitality venue. "Hospitality venue" covers a lot of territory - including the possibility of yet another liquor licensed establishment in Tremont. I was informed that the Auburn Block Club would be discussing some of these plans on Thursday, October 13, 2011.
Have either of these two property locations been slated to appear at the TWDC Economic Development Committee?
Thanks for any info you can provide.
