ANC Report: Departures, Oppositions

The Advisory Neighborhood Commission 2E met May 2 at Georgetown Visitation Prep and welcomed new executive director Ron Sacco. At the same time, commissioners honored departing executive Leslie Maysak and commissioner Kendyl Clausen, who had to resign as she is graduating Georgetown University and heading to Yale Law School. Commissioners authorized Rick Murphy to represent ANC 2E at the Board of Zoning Adjustment. Also, At-large council member Elissa Silverman addressed the room and spoke of her work on campaign finance reform, family leave for District workers and other programs.
Metropolitan Police Department reported that the April 24 death of Georgetown student Edward Blatz, Jr., involved no foul play and that MPD was investigating a robbery at Dolcezza at
1560 Wisconsin Ave. NW.

Citing late night noise and disturbance, commissioners unanimously protested Malmaison’s liquor license renewal application. They unanimously opposed a Board of Zoning Adjustment application at 3000 M St. NW for a roof deck, formerly the Latham Hotel property. They did support a zoning application by 3015 P St. NW for a one-story addition.
Commissioners got into a bit of pickle as residents and architects got into sharp disagreements about work and plans for 3420 P St. NW. One neighbor loudly complained of workers parking in his driveway and a long-sitting dumpster — among other comments.
