Session 1520, Minutes Page 5 May 21, 1990 FROMM SALE - 950 KINGSLAND • The City Manager recomended the sale of a narrow, unbuildable strip of land on Kingsland at Olive to the adjacent building owner for $1.00, contingent on the owner's commitment to maintain the landscaping. Mr. Adams moved approval, with Mrs. Thompson seconding the motion. All voted Aye. LIOUOR LICENSE - BRANIYr'S MARKET,r, 6525 DEL MAR The City Manager said Brandt's Market, 6525 Delmar, applied for a license to sell all types of intoxicating liquor by the drink at retail in the new res- taurant portion of the Market. He said the application meets the mi.nimum .re- quirements of city ordinances, but does not meet Couzcil policy of observing restaurants in operation for six months before approving such a license. Mr. Jay Brandt, 6525 Delmar, said he has been in business in the University City hoop for five years, and is now expanding to include a restaurant opera- tion. He said the store currently holds a full liquor by the drink license with the County and the State, which allows the Market to do wine tastings. He said the restaurant does not plan to serve mixed drinks but would like the full license in order to serve after-dinner drinks such as cognac. He hoped the five years in business would suffice for the waiting period. Mr. 011en- dorff asked if it would be a major detriment to the business if just a beer and wine license was granted for a period of a few months instead of the full license. Mr. Brandt said he fully supported Council policy and did not object to the lesser license for the present. Mr. Schooner moved approval of a beer and wine license for Brandt's Market. Mr. Adams seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. LIQUOR LICENSE - 1148 FERGUSON The City Manager said Council is again being asked to approve a package beer license at 1148 Ferguson. He said he has no new information to add to com- ments he made when the applicant submitted several earlier applications. Mrs. Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel, asked to address the Council. She urged the Council to deny this request because she felt it would be detrimental to have a store selling beer in this residential neighborhood. Mr. Price said he previously voted to turn down this application, but noted that earlier statements that the store was not well run are incorrect. He met with residents of the neighborhood who all felt that the store was being run better than at any time in the recent past, and they are concerned that if the present owner leaves, the store might not be as well run. Based on that, he has changed his mind about voting to approve the application. Mrs. Thompson agreed, noting that the owner has tried very hard to do all the things Council expected of him in terms of cleanliness, litter, etc. She then moved approval of the application. Mr. Price seconded the motion.
