AGENDA #2 - LIQUOR LICENSE - 7434 OLIVE: Pete's Shur Sav Market requests a license to sell alcoholic beverages by the package at their location on Olive at Hanley. This application was set aside a year ago pending additional information and action from the applicant. In the intervening period, the City staff has monitored several items. First, a site plan was submitted and approved by the City Council earlier this month that, if implemented, would result in a much-improved exterior appearance for the premises. Second, that same site plan voluntarily established a legal limit enforceable through the Zoning ordinance for the areas inside the store where alcoholic beverages could be placed, displayed and sold. Third, the Police Dept. reports that there have been no adverse incidents over the past year which would result in a negative recommendation. Fourth, the applicant indicates that they have changed the ownership and the name of two other locations where conditions downgrade the reputation of this business. Fifth, the Shur Say Vernon site has not been improved at all since the City approved the plans three years ago. The City Council may approve this license at such time as you determine that it is in the best interest of the City and the neighborhood to do so. At this time, the applicant has complied with all of the suggestions by the City Council except for carrying out the much-needed exterior improvements at the Vernon site.

He wanted to make sure that it was understood that the applicants did not own the Vernon store Ms. Welsch stated that she was in favor of the liquor license, however; many constituents have expressed their concerns to her that she would like Mr. Goldstein to address this evening. She continued that they were concerned with the possibility of persons loitering outside of the store waiting to get beer or get enough money together to buy beer and the citizens sense of safety related to this problem. Her constituents are also concerned with litter and how their neighborhood might be impacted by the sale of liquor in the neighborhood. Mr. Goldstein responded that they do not have any experience with loitering outside of the Olive store. The other Pete's Shur Say on
