56 Residents File Official Protests On N-A Minit Transfer Application

By Marc Borbely, 536 13th St. NE

Thirty-one residents in the Corner Forum area and 25 other residents just outside the area have officially protested N-A Minit's (421 13th St. NE) proposed liquor license transfer.

Under the proposal, Excello (419 13th St. NE) would sell its Class A liquor license to N-A Minit, Excello would be closed, and N-A Minit would sell its current Class B liquor license and begin operating with the Class A license. Also under the proposal, the conditions attached to Excello's license would be changed such that N-A Minit would be allowed sell singles (which the license currently prohibits).

Of the 56 signatures submitted before the Nov. 18 deadline, 9 were from Emerald Street, 7 were from the 500 block of 14th Street, 5 were from Duncan Place, 5 were from the 1200 block of F, 5 were from the 500 block of 13th, 5 were from the 1300 block of G, 4 were from the 1300 block of E, 4 were from the 1200 block of E, 4 were from the 400 block of 13th, and the remaining 8 were from other nearby blocks.
