This is an existing license and involves only a name change, from Rino Maurutto to Marlene Maurutto. The application meets all City requirements and does not require a public hearing. Mr. Adams moved approval, with Mrs. Thompson seconding the motion. In response to Mr. Lieberman, Mr. 011endorff said there have not been any police problems at this location. All voted Aye, except Mr. Adams, who voted Nay. LIQUOR LICENSE --TECHNICAL CHANGE--BILBO'S RESTAURANT, 7384 FORSYTH The City Manager said the liquor license granted to Bilbo's Restaurant indicated that closing hours were to be 1:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 12:00 midnight Sunday through Thursday. Holiday'and holiday eve closings were not specified. Mr. 011endorff said he felt that discussion at the time the license was granted indi- cated that the Council meant to include holiday eves in the 1:30 a.m. closing time, although the final motion did not so state. He recommended that this be changed by motion of the City Council, and noted that the business has been operated in a very satisfactory manner to date. Mr. Adams moved that holiday eve closing,at Bilbo's be set at 1:30 a.m. Mr. Sabol seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Mr. Lieberman stated that he voted Aye only because this was a technical chAnge, that he voted negatively on this li- cense originally, and that his vote still stands. SITE PLAN REVIEW - 8520 OLIVE BOULEVARD The City Manager recommended that the application to use the premises at 8520 Olive Boulevard for indoor commercial amusement purposes be denied, as it does not meet the requirements of the City ordinances. Ms Judy A. McKinsey, 8008 Carondelet, attorney for the applicant, Postscript Enter- prises, asked to address the Council. Ms McKinsey referred to a report from the Planning Department, outlining the reasons it recommended that the application be denied. Lack of adequate parking was cited, but Ms McKinsey said parking was avail- able across Olive Street. Another objection was the danger to pedestrian traffic, but Ms McKinsey said since only adults would be using this facility, they could take care of themselves adequately. She felt the corporation she represented met all other requirements of the code. Mr. 011endorff reiterated that the application did not meet the letter of the appli- cable ordinance of the University City code. Mr. Adams noted that it was extremely difficult to cross Olive Street during the rush hour, and that any pedestrian traffic at that location would be endangered. Mr. Sabol moved that the application be denied. Mr. Lieberman seconded the motion.
