Session 1717, Minutes 8 March 16, 1998 Mr. Lieberman said that this location has been an eyesore and a problem for the neighbors in this area. The problems emanate from the parking lot not being cleaned up properly, loitering and the selling of individual bottles of beer rather than packages of beer, etc. Conditions should be added to this to ensure at least the outdoor cleanup of the area and no loitering in the area. They can put up signs - it is a private lot. They can enforce any kind of rules they want to enforce. He does not mean that they should not have a license, but he does want them made aware of their obligations, as well. Mr. Schoomer is sympathetic to the problems that this location has generated in the past, however, there is no way in the world we can put any condition whatever upon the sale of liquor and there is not a site plan before us. Mayor Adams asked Mr. Rose to make sure and convey to the applicant the Council's concern on the cleanliness and loitering problem at that location. All voted aye, except Mayor Adams who voted Nay. The motion passed 6 to 1. AGENDA #8 - LIQUOR LICENSE PUBLIC HEARING: A new application has been submitted for a full liquor license at 7555 Olive Street Road. The required plan and references have not yet been received. The next step is for the Council to set a public hearing on March 30 at 7:30 p.m. The City code indicates that City Council may determine who should be notified of this hearing. The public hearing is the appropriate time to entertain discussion of this matter rather than doing so at this meeting. Mr. Schoomer asked if there is not an application before Council, if it is appropriate to set a public hearing. Mr. Rose said that the application had been submitted. Mr. Schoomer responded that the application was not complete, which Mr. Rose agreed. Mr. Schoomer said he did not mind waiting another month. Mr. Sharpe asked what items of information was not complete. Mr. Rose responded that they were waiting for a site plan and references. Mr. Lieberman asked if they provided signatures. Mr. Rose said that this was optional, but that the applicant did provide signatures. Responding to Mr. Sharpe, Mr. Rose said that the applicant will be made fully aware of all items missing from the application. The sense of the Council was to not act on this issue until a full application was completed and reviewed. Mayor Adams said that there was a previous application submitted in January and the one dated in February. He asked Mr. Rose to make a distinction between the two and inform Council what the differences between the two applications were.
