December 19, 2018 City of Beaumont Planning Division. 801 Main Street, Room 201 Beaumont, Texas 77701 Re: Struggle Street Brewing Company; 2140 Calder Ave, Beaumont, Texas Dear Members of the Zoning Board, My name is Christopher Scott Reeves, and I am seeking approval by the Zoning Board of Review of the Special Use Permit proposed for Struggle Street Brewing Company. The proposed business will be a brewpub located at 2140 Calder, Beaumont, Texas, and is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan presented below. The proposed brewpub will be a business where beer and wine will be sampled and served on site over the counter. Craft beer will also be produced using a 3bbl brewhouse and utilizing 3 x 3 bbl fermenters producing approximately 250 bbls per calendar year. The current hours of operation are expected to be Wednesday — Saturday from 1 pm to 10 pm, and Sunday 12 pm to 6 pm. We anticipate employing approximately two to four local members of the community that will aid in the daily operation of the family based pub. There will be approximately forty to fifty seats inside using both tables and bar top seating, in addition there will be an outdoor patio area with seating and games for patrons to enjoy. The servers, bartenders, and management will be responsible for checking identification as per the current TABC guidelines to ensure that no one under the legal drinking age of twenty- one will be served. With Beaumont being the largest city in Texas without a brewery, I feel the community here, including all of Southeast Texas, is ready for a place to enjoy time with friends, alongside a consistent, desirable, quality craft beer that was brewed onsite by local friends. The current buildings surrounding our location are all commercial in nature, including two behind ours. One is/was the Green Beanery which is currently closed and has been vacant for several years. The other is a Veterans center, which currently has a privacy fence between their parking lot, and the twenty -foot alleyway separating us. The brewery will not be a nuisance, nor impede any activity or development of the surrounding properties. In accordance with Section 30-26.E of the Zoning Ordnance, the following requirements have, and will be met: 1.) The specific use of the location is compatible with and not injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property, nor will the location cause any diminish of values in property within the immediate vicinity; 2.) The establishment will not impede the development and/or improvement of any surrounding vacant property; 3.) The facility has adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and all other necessary supporting facilities regarding the establishment; 4.) . The location and design of driveways are safe, and parking is provided to allow convenient vehicular and pedestrian movement without affecting the general public or traffic flow; 5.) Nuisance prevention measures will be taken, beginning with a privacy fence to control any noise. Ventilation will be installed as needed for dust and fume management; 6.) No lighting will disturb adjacent properties; 7.) Screening via privacy fence will be in place to ensure harmony with any and all adjacent property; 8.) The proposed use of 2140 Calder, Beaumont, Texas, is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan presented. I am urging the Zoning Board to consider and approve the proposed special use permit, as I strongly believe the establishment will be an exciting addition to the City of Beaumont. We look forward to gaining your approval to open this location and start serving Beaumont. Struggle Street Brewery will help to revitalize the Calder, Downtown, and surrounding areas with new opportunities and business, while helping to make Beaumont a destination spot. I appreciate your time and consideration.
