Dixie Liquors Keeps Singles Ban Exemption Despite Strongly Worded ANC Resolution

As discussed here, last month the ANC held a special session to address Dixie Liquors’s request for an exemption to the single sales ban. The emergency meeting was necessary because ABRA already had granted Dixie’s request for an exemption and so the ANC was asking for ABRA to reconsider its decision.
The original decision by ABRA to grant the exemption was based, in part, on the fact that the ANC failed to weigh in against Dixie’s original application for waiver.

Given this miscommunication, it’s somewhat understandable that the ANC would adopt a strongly worded resolution objecting to the issuance of the waiver without a positive resolution (as well as the lack of effective notice from ABRA that it was about to grant the waiver).

Tree Week: Notable Georgetown Trees
To wrap up Tree Week here at the Georgetown Metropolitan, GM thought he’d highlight some special trees we have around the village.
The P St. Redwoods:
As detailed in a recent CAG newsletter, there are a group of four Chinese dawn redwoods in the backyard of P St. resident Sofia Owen, who planted the trees in the 1960s. Right now the trees are 110 feet tall and are 30 1/2 inches in diameter. In a few thousand years they could be up to 400 feet tall. Would that violate the height act?
