LIOLJOR LICENSE - 1148 FERQTSON AVENUE The City Manager said the owner of a small grocery store at 1148 Ferguson has again requested a license to sell beer by the package at retail. Council de- nied this request several months ago because of the prior reputation the store acquired for contributing to neighborhood litter and reported unsanitary con- ditions inside the store. The owner claims that neighborhood residents want him to sell beer. Mr. Schoomer moved that this item be taken from the table. Mrs. Schuman sec- onded the motion, which carried unanimously. Mrs. Schuman thought that previous discussions had resulted in a consensus of the Council that it wished to wait a longer period to see how the owner main- tains the store premises; based on that, she moved denial. Mr. Schoamer sec- onded the motion. The store owner, Mr. Antrik Shinger, 2510 Frances Avenue, was asked to came forward. Mr. Price said that elements attracted by the sale of alcoholic bev- erages could be detrimental to the neighborhood in which the store is located. In response to Mr. Adams' question regarding whether the applicant submitted a corrected application, Mr. 011endorff said Mr. Shinger had turned in a revised application to sell beer not in excess of 5% alcohol by the package at retail. Mrs. Thompson asked if the store is now being kept clean; Mr. 011endorff said he had not been inside, but had received no complaints frau neighbors. For the record, Mr. Shinger gave the City Clerk a petition with 103 signatures in support of beer sales at his store. Mr. Price said he was extremely reluctant to approve the sale of liquor in a residential area, since it often seems to lead to other problems. Mrs. Thompson pointed out that beer has been sold at this site in the past.
