H Street Country Club is seeking to make use of their roof. The roof would be extension of upstairs with restaurant seating (99 seats), an additional bar, and 9 more holes of minigolf.
Proprietor Joe Englert reached a Voluntary Agreement with ANC 6A to limit the hours of use, prohibit sound amplification, and install noise mitigation materials to insure that the roof patio does not disturb area residents. The Voluntary Agreement also permits entertainment inside the establishment on four holidays (Independence Day, St. Patrick's Day, Haloween, and New Year's Eve), but on those days only and the entertainment endorsement is limited to the interior of the the building.
Englert is also expected to seek use of the roof at the Rock and Roll Hotel where he would put an additional 79 seats.

I think this is awesome. Though I'm no where close to mastering the existing 9 holes, it'll definitely be fun to have a new near-impossible 9 to tackle. That, and come next summer, having two places with roof decks (and hopefully a few more with outdoor patios) will be great!
ReplyDeleteIn that vein, maybe the folks over at Liberty Tree should hit up Joe Englert for some advice on how to deal with the pesky ANCs...I'd hate that place to end up on the shelf just for lack of "politicking" ability...
