Buena Vista approves tavern liquor license for Tumbleweed LLC
Summary
The Buena Vista Board of Trustees approved a tavern liquor license for Tumbleweed LLC at 522 Antero Circle, approving the application conditionally on completion of required change-of-use steps after a public hearing where applicants and neighbors described plans for a walkable neighborhood bar.
The Buena Vista Board of Trustees voted Nov. 25 to grant a tavern liquor license to Tumbleweed LLC, a proposed neighborhood bar at 522 Antero Circle, Units 2 and 3.
The board opened a public hearing and heard a staff report that the applicants had paid required fees, provided proof of possession and submitted satisfactory background checks. Leslie Holstein, one of the applicants, described plans for a ‘‘seventies basement bar’’ with light food, nonalcoholic options and staff trained in responsible service. Holstein said they have removed turf from the design after concerns about PFAS and plan a west-facing patio with a view of Mount Princeton.
Neighbors and several residents spoke in support. ‘‘They very deliberately chose BV to make a life together and raise their children,’’ supporter Sue Cobb said, praising the applicants—9 community ties. Other neighbors said a walkable gathering spot would activate the South Side commercial node and reduce risks by offering a local alternative to driving downtown.
Trustees moved and seconded the license approval; the board approved the application with a condition requiring completion of the town—9s change-of-use process before the license is finalized. The condition was described in staff materials as a standard requirement for the change of building use and associated safety and fire-code items.
The approval ends the public hearing; applicants may proceed with permitting and must return proof of compliance with the change-of-use conditions before the license is issued.
