Session 1675, Minutes August 19, 1996 Page 6 Mr. Schoomer also felt the least drastic measure should be tried first for a six month or year trial to see how traffic is affected. He called the question. All voted Aye. LIQUOR LICENSE- ST. LOUIS SYMPHONY COMMUNITY MUSIC SCHOOL The City Manager said an application was received from the St. Louis Symphony Community School for a license to sell alcoholic beverages by the drink at concerts and other events on a year-round basis. The Municipal Code was recently amended to allow such sales, and the School will no longer have to apply for a picnic liquor license for each event. The School has operated with the daily liquor licenses for a number of years without adverse consequences. Mr. Ware moved approval, Mr. Schoomer seconded, and all voted Aye. PACKAGE LIQUOR LICENSE - 7575 OLIVE The City Manager recommended denial of a request to sell all types of intoxicating liquor by the package at retail at this store, which is not yet open. Council's past policy has discouraged additional outlets for package liquor, and no applicant has been approved in recent years until the store has been in existence for a lengthy period of observation; even then Council has required a site plan with conditions aimed at ensuring the business does not become primarily a liquor store. He said the applicant could reapply after the store has been open for some time. He added that the applicant's character and background were checked and are acceptable. The applicant, Mr. Song C. Yu, 6756 Dolan Place, said his store will not be a liquor store and that he will sell a full line of groceries, meat, and produce. Responding to Mr. Schoomer, Mr. Ollendorffthought the store had less than 14,000 square feet. He noted Council previously stipulated it would not consider awarding a liquor license unless the store was over 10,000 square feet. Mr. Schoomer moved denial without prejudice. Mr. Ware seconded the motion, which carried unani- mously. CONDITIONAL USE - 602 WESTGATE The City Manager concurred in the Plan Commission's unanimous recommendation to approve a condi- tional use permit for a carry-out restaurant with outdoor seating provided the menu is limited to typical deli items, outdoor dining limited to one row of tables, counter service only, regular litter patrol of adjacent areas, and provision of adequate trash containers. Mr. Ollendorff said a related item is an application to sell beer and wine at this store, which was found to be in order and may be approved.
