David Wright, 1000 Macklind, St. Louis, Mo 63110, stated that he is the owner of the property and that White Castle is by far the best applicant to approach him about the property; it is a good investment in the community and that they will be leasing the building to them. No other members of the public indicated a desire to speak and the public hearing portion of the meeting was closed. Mr. Smith stated that he feels the hours of operation is the only issue. Mr. Hale stated that White Castle would be willing to close the lobby and the dining room but would still need to have the drive-through portion open. Ms. Arbogast asked when the business died down at night. Mr. hale stated that between 12 a.m. and 5 a.m. business was slow. Mr. Price stated that he felt this was a viable location for a 24 hour operation. Ms. Glassman stated that it would set a precedent to have the building open 24 hours. Ms. Arbogast stated that she might consider it if the lobby and dining areas were closed. Mr. Keeling stated that the Musick Neighborhood Association was opposed to the drive-through being open 24 hours because of the increase in noise level whether or not it is limited to the drive-through or the lobby.
