Session 1553, Minutes September 16, 1991 Page 5 date additional parked cars; am the area is already overburdened with traf- fic am parked cars, especially when the university is in session. She asked that the proposal be denied outright based on traffic am parkinJ considera- tions. However, if Council decides to approve, she asked that corrlitions be added that confine the hours of operation, provide for adequate trash diSIX>S- al am screening, prevent offensive edors, and provide appropriate signage. Mr. Wagner asked if the parkinJ was misrepresentated. Ms. Ratner said after the applicant discovered more parking spaces were needed for approval, he got additional spaces from a nearby property owner, but Plan Commission members had no opportunity to inspect the site prior to their meeting. In response to Mr. Adams, Ms. Ratner said she did not take part in the debate during the Plan Commission meeting because at that time she felt it was inap- propriate. :Mayor :Majerus said this matter will be on the next meeting's agerrla. Mr. 01- 1endorff said for the record that he will recomme.rrl denial of this corrlition- al use because of lack of parking, am no noise, litter, or edor controls. NEW LIOOOR LICENSE - 7805 OLIVE The City :Manager said the applicant wishes to sell all types of package li- quor at a new store at 7805 Olive. Council policy has been to deny full li- censes except to existing major stores. umer certain circumstances, new stores have been granted a package beer license following a waiting peried. He said several applicants have been denied in this block in recent years. The applicant, Mr. Begashaw Iegese, 12446 Lighthouse Drive, creve Coeur, came forward. Resporrling to Mrs. 'Ihompson, Mr. Iegese said he was aware of Coun- cil 's policy, but he was planning to sell groceries at this location and it would not be only a package liquor store. Mr. SChoomer moved denial. Mr. Wagner seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. LIQUOR LICENSE TRANSFER - 8111 OLIVE '!he City :Manager recomme.rrled approval of transferring a 3.2% beer license to the new owners of Frank am Helen's Pizzeria, 8111 Olive. He said no prob- lems have been encountered over many years of operation, and the new owners have a clear record. Mrs. Schuman movErl approval, and Mr. Schoomer seconded the motion. Mrs. Thompson sai.d she did not understarrl why the new owners of this restaur- ant should receive a license am not the previous applicant. Mrs. Schuman said there was quite a differe>.nce between managing a restaurant with a 3.2% beer license am a full package liquor store. Council's policy is neant to prevent the proliferation of pc"l.ckage liquor stores, as opposed to encouraging restaurants that serve 3.2% beer, where only a very small portion of the rev- enue comes from beer by the drink. Mayor Majerus agreed.
