Applications Review / Discussion
Event: Date(s): Location: Organizer(s):
11th Street Fair Sunday, August 25, 2019 11th Ave between E Pine St and E Union St Natalie Curtis
Event Notes: ? Event organizer not present ? One day event from 11am ? 9pm ? Quick set up and closure of 2 blocks of 11th Ave between Pike and Pine and Pike and Union ? Understanding that it was a similar closure for the SDOT Pike People Street program, but since that program is not active in 2019, organizer is requesting their own closure ? Idea is to close street and clear parking to activate street with food trucks and vendors
Committee Discussion: ? The anticipated attendance is a concern since requesting a 2-block closure ? The map doesn't show it, but there are 3-4 driveways that need access, SDOT will need to see notification and mitigation of traffic impacts and garage access ? Is attendance accurate? ? It is a lot of parking that they are requesting; Impact to the neighborhood is a concern since very dense neighborhood ? SPD East Precinct will be able to monitor with resources; No issues with it ? SDOT suggesting maybe organizer could reduce footprint to have one block closure in front of businesses participating (between Pine and Pike); 2 parking lots impacted in this block closure ? Chair ? Not hearing approval, there is a lot more information that needs to come from organizers which includes participation, benefit to neighborhood, footprint and see if organizers are willing to reduce, and outreach plan; Committee will not approve without this

Chinatown International District Block Party Saturday, August 3, 2019 Private property at 900 S King St Tuyen Kim Than, Sonny Nguyen
Event Notes: ? Event produced in 2016; A lot smaller so didn't need a Special Events Permit ? CID Block Party is opportunity to showcase Asian American talent ? Event will take place at 900 S King St underneath the I-5 underpass in the private parking lot ? No street closures and minimum pedestrian impact ? Organizers wanted to increase pedestrian impact and show that the underpass is a place to see and activate ? No signed notifications, organizers have talked to adjacent businesses and they agree or partnering with event ? Truck stages used; In 2016, sound didn't get too loud but had some issues with cars parked closely to the stage ? Boozy Boba beer garden run by the Eastern Caf?; Eastern Caf? will do all of the fencing and appropriate things to make sure beer garden follows guidelines; Bar is also a block away so if there are issues, they will activate bar as alcohol service ?

Prior event didn't have alcohol service; Will need Special Occasion License, application needs 45 days for the event; Non-profit is Seattle Chinatown International District Preservation Development Authority (SCIDpda); Participating businesses will need extended service to participate; Organizers responsible for staffing to make sure safety and security, no over service, and ID checks Parks ?

Will need to see maps for the beer garden and to assign occupancy load; Will need to know names of the food vendors, dimensions of the beer garden; The occupancy load will be determined with the dimension map SDCI ? keep it at a reasonable level, amplified sound is cutting off at 10pm, so no TNV needed
