- Session 1318, Minutes Page 3 November 8, 1982 Mr. Levy reminded the speaker that Mr. Ross' character or the job he has done was not the issue, pointing out that Mr. Ross has been a stabilizing factor in the area without a liquor license. Mr. Adams also commented that the Council has been very consistent over the years in not issuing liquor licenses to small, neighborhood stores. In this case, he said the decision was somewhat more difficult because of the commercial aspect of the immediate area; however, the residential area was also contiguous and must be considered. The fact that the store was open so late (11:30 p.m.) was also an in- fluencing factor, in addition to having been open a relatively short time and not really having established a track record yet. The question was called, and the roll call vote was a follows: AYES: Councilmem- ber Thompson. NAYS: Councilmembers Lieberman, Adams, Metcalfe, Levy, Schoomer and Mayor Mooney. The motion was defeated by a vote of six to one. Mr. Lieberman asked Mr. Ollendorff to make certain that the beer signs in the win- dow of the All in One Food Shop were removed. RECONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT The City Manager said the owners of the property at Delmar and Old Bonhomme request- ed that the Council reconsider the granting of a conditional use permit for a ser- vice station with mini-convenience store, denied by the'Council at its last meet- ing. He noted this matter cannot be taken up for discussion unless a member of the Council who voted in the majority requested that the matter be reconsidered. Mr. Lieberman raised a point of order, noting that the City Manager did not have the prerogative to put this matter on his agenda unless a councilmember voting with the majority asked him to do so. That was not forthcoming; therefore the matter was dropped. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - 6900 DELMAR BOULEVARD The City Manager recommended that a public hearing be held at 7:45 p.m. on Monday, November 22, to hear and consider comments on the proposed conditional use permit for the property formerly owned by the Greek Orthodox Church. He said the impor- tance of this development to the neighborhood and City was such that action should be taken by the City Council at the earliest opportunity. He noted that both the Council and residents of the neighborhood have expressed an interest in reviewing the details of the proposal: The Plan Commission has recommended approval of the permit with appropriate conditions, and Mr. Ollendorff concurred in that recommen- dation, adding that he would have additional comments and suggestions relating to the conditions prior to the public hearing. Mr. Lieberman moved that a public hearing be scheduled as noted above. Mrs. Met- calfe seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. REDEVELOPMENT PLAN - TAX ABATEMENT The City Manager recommended that the City Council call a public hearing for 8:00 p.m. on November 22 for the purpose of considering the redevelopment plan and tax
