1881 Grove Blvd Suite #1334, Aus6n Texas 78741 Phone # (512) 221-4736 Email: info@ Manuel Escobar Chair Urban Renewal Board Travis Perlman - Feb 9th, 2021 On behalf of Capitol View Arts and Rolling Roster Restaurant, I am respectfully submitting a request to use the property at 1100 E 11th street adjacent to the Historic Victory Grill/ Rolling Rooster restaurant. The Rolling Roster the current leaseholder of the Historic Victory Grill and is located at 1104 E 11th Street. Our goal is to establish a space to provide outdoor seating that would include acoustic sound entertainment for our guests/customers.  We are making this request to operate the outdoor space during the Rolling Roster daily business operations as of February 2021 until such time that your office determines is necessary.   We expect to provide seating arrangements to accommodate our guests and seek your permission to fence in the area to provide safety/security to our patrons.  Should there be a need to have any permitting done to secure the space's use, the Capitol View Arts and the Rolling Roster would guarantee the necessary documents to comply with city codes?  This request is needed as a black-owned business representing the 11th Street corridor, providing economic benefit through visitor impact and job growth.  As you are aware, COVID 19 has changed the restaurant business model dramatically.  The opportunity to use the space at 1100 E 11th Street, next door to the Historic Victory Grill/Rolling Roster, will allow us to serve patrons by providing outdoor seating. This outdoor capacity will contribute to our sustainability efforts during the pandemic. Rolling Roster operates several businesses around the City. Capitol View Arts, a sanctioned 501(C)3 organization, has been providing educational, internship, economic opportunities to underserved members of our community with emphasis to those with life experience to east Austin, are proud to be a part of the E 11 Th Street cultural legacy by working within the Victory Grill. Allowing outdoor seating for the 11 Street restaurant will increase my chances of maintaining our businesses during this crisis. Sincerely Clifford Gillard Board President CVA.
