EXCELLO LICENSE TRANSFER: N-A Minit's owners, Sae Won Lee and Hyon Suk Lee, have officially applied to transfer Excello's liquor license to the N-A Minit location, at 421 13th St. NE, from the Excello location, at 419 13th St. NE, according to a notice published in the D.C. Register on Oct. 3. If the transfer is approved by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, N-A Minit could sell liquor Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. The ABC Board will hold a hearing on the transfer application at 10 a.m. on Dec. 3. Residents' petitions and requests to appear before the Board must be filed on or before Nov. 18.

N-A Minit has previously stated that it would put its own Class B (beer and wine) license in safekeeping if the transfer of Excello's Class A (liquor, beer and wine) license goes through successfully. As part of the transfer, N-A Minit is requesting that Excello's current voluntary agreement, which was signed in December 2001, be changed so that whoever holds the liquor license will be allowed to sell singles. Michael Musante, the ANC Commissioner representing the Corner Forum area south of the middle of E Street, including the houses around Excello, has said he opposes the requested amendments to the Excello voluntary agreement.

Mr. and Mrs. Lee have also applied to renew their own Class B license, which their attorney Paul Pascal has said would be placed in safekeeping if the transfer of Excello's license goes through. Residents wishing to oppose N-A Minit's license renewal have until Nov. 25 to file letters of protest. An initial "roll call" hearing on N-A Minit's requested renewal will be held on Dec. 10. Thank you to Cody Rice, 310 9th St. NE, for alerting us to these dates.
