Police Report. Lt. Johnson reported no violent crimes in the past 30-day period. One burglary of an unoccupied residence occurred on W Street and there were 7 thefts from auto. The next community walkthrough in PSA 204 will begin at Connecticut and Calvert at 6:30 pm on August 24th. Commissioner Blumenthal asked about an incident at the Sheffield at 2320 Wisconsin Ave where police were called to do a welfare check. Two officers went to the building. Because there was no onsite manager or front desk, the officers left even though other residents told them how to enter the person’s apartment. The person was discovered deceased by another resident the next day. Lt. Johnson will look into what went wrong.
CANCELLED. Amitie withdrew their application because of an irresolvable zoning issue. ANC 3B was to consider their application for becoming an internet-only cannabis retailer located in Glover Park at 2176 Wisconsin Avenue, Suite 100 (the southwest corner of Wisconsin and W Place).
Liquor License Application for Maharaja, House of Biryani. Commissioner Blumenthal said that Maharaja, a new Indian restaurant in Glover Park at 2414 Wisconsin Avenue, NW, has applied for a full liquor license with maximum hours (e.g., until 2 am on weekdays and 3 am on weekends). The owner had agreed to participate in the meeting but was not present. In August, the ANC asked for public comment on the license application, and no objections were heard. Commissioner Blumenthal made a motion not to protest their license application and let it go through for ABCA approval. The motion was seconded and passed 5-0.
