Mr. Walker: This applicant meets all requirements of the License and Inspection Department and the Sheriff s Department and meets the distance requirements from the church. This was turned down before because of parking and not enough seating. (3 objectors present) Mr. Payne: Trav Payne, I represent the neighbors and we oppose this license. We have petitions signed by many homeowners in the area that are opposed to this bar license. We have petitions from the Bethlehem Advent Christian church, Macedonia Baptist church and a letter from the director of Friendship Community Center. We question the 300-foot distance from the church. The residents have long time homeownership in this neighborhood and we feel that on site beer consumption would be a real disappointment at a place like this. Mr. Kuhlke: Why do you say the Red Lion crowd will come from Walton Way? Mr. Payne: We feel that this will attract the eighteen to twenty-five year old crowd that likes to drink beer and frequent a place like this late at night. I Mr. Jahn: There are other businesses on Central Avenue that sell beer. In two and a half years, per Mr. Harris, we have never had a complaint. The people in the neighborhood have never come into the store. We close at IOp.m. Mr. Kuhlke: Move approval. Motion carries 3-1 with Mr. Mays voting present. I Mr. Brigham: Second.

Mr. Glasker: Johnny Glasker l32B Shady Grove Dr. I Mr. Walker: This application has been approved by the License and Inspection and the Sheriff 5 Department and we recommend approval of the consumption on premise beer license we recommend disapproval of Sunday sales at this time because he has no records of food sales. Both departments recommend not to issue the Sunday sales license. (No objectors) Mr. Glasker: I have been in this location for over ten years and I have had a Sunday sales license and sold food. Mr. Mays: Just for the record because the Committee has changed somewhat since Mr. Glasker was here last. I think that he is correct from the standpoint of the license. I think we need to look at what was said in the Committee meeting, whatever the wording was in the original agreement and it might be that we will have to look at was said in the original meeting. It was mentioned that you did not have legal counsel when you came here, I'm don't know on which occasion that might have been. I do know that on one occasion Mr. Findley represented . you. At that point, because of the questioning that was tnere in reference to the amount of food sales on Sunday, there was somewhat of a compromise. Because you had been through the different hardships, the Commission did not want to place you totally out of business in granting the alcohol license. But the agreement was to go ahead and give you the regular license in opt of not dealing with the Sunday sales. That vote had you probably pressed on the Sunday sales and if we had done a strict enforcement of it both licenses because you had been out and at that time the establishment of the church and where it was you may not have gotten either. I think that helped to lead to the fact that you got one and didn't get to the other one. That was also in agreement with you and your lawyer at that time. I I Mr. Kuhlke: So move with the recommendation of the License Department with no Sunday sales and a review in six months. Mr. Brigham: Second. Motion carried unanimously.
