Session 1673, Minutes July 29, 1996 Page 6 drinks of beer or wine at the tables adjacent to the market. Mr. Schoomer felt too many questions were unanswered, and he voted to table his motion. Mr. Wagner commented he also felt the precedent set was ill-advised, and seconded the motion. All voted Aye. The matter was tabled to the August 19 meeting. Mr. Schoomer suggested that conditions could be set when the site plan is considered to help allay Council's fears. LIOUOR LICENSE - 7555 OLIVE The City Manager said an application to transfer the license to sell alcoholic beverages by the drink to the new owners of Pier 75 was reviewed and found to be in order. The new owners and managers have good records, and one of the applicants has a restaurant with a current liquor license in good standing. Although there have been no major problems at this location, there have been a few minor incidents in the past few years. Council may approve the license, perhaps with a notice to the applicants that they are expected to operate this business in a way that will not present the community with any problems, and that a strong management presence is advised. Mrs. Thompson moved approval, and Mr. Ware seconded. Mr. Schoomer said there have been a few complaints about housekeeping at this site, and perhaps the City Manager could make it very clear to the operators that their efforts should be intensified to keep the site neat and litter-free. Responding to Mr. Wagner, Mr. Ollendorff said this restaurant/bar must derive at least 50% of its revenue from non-liquor sales; if more than 50% is from liquor sales, it will lose its license. He said this requirement is monitored regularly. Mr. Lieberman questioned Mr. Ollendorffabout his statements regarding operation of the business, and the City Manager said conditions may not be attached to a liquor license, however, he will strongly ad- vise the operators that the site must be kept in an acceptable manner. All voted Aye. CONDITIONAL USE - 602 WESTGATE.
