Session 1673, Minutes July 29, 1996 Page 5 felt she would not have been hit if there was a stop sign. Mr. Ollendorffsuggested that the yield sign made the driver guilty; but that would not be the case if there had been a stop sign and the driver stopped even though later hitting the woman.

Mr. Schoomer, noting the smallness of the site, said it sets a precedent which Council has tried to avoid-- liquor and food sales in a tiny location. He understood it was an adjunct to the restaurant, which has been a valuable asset to the City, but he felt ambivalent about approval. Responding to Mr. Lieberman, Mr. Ollendorff said the liquor sales would be carry-out or individual
