'rhe City Manager said he had received a phone call regarding fIef Grape and Grain," but that when the caller was informed this was not a tavern license request, but for a package store, the objection [I was withdrawn. Ii e Mr. Teague moved seconded by Dr. Purdy that the Council recommend approval of the liquor licenses II listed above. !I Mr. Clinton Hedrick, owner of a trailer sales at 1885 Highway 99 North, objected to this use, and II II asked what type building would be built.

Ii I Mr~ Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Hayward that the Council substitute a motion that they recommend I , approval for Cracker Barrel Tavern at 2nd and Washington, of Grape and Grain at 45 West 29th, and I I I I denial for Frontier Tavern, 1879 Highway 99 North.Grounds for non-approval are that it is incom- patible with surrounding neighborhood, even though in a permitted zone, and that niehgborhood considerations overrule. Councilman Teague said he had driven by these locations, and that he was concerned that the proposed II location at 45 West 29th was back of the liquor store, and whether there was a need for another out- let at this location, and where the building could be placed on the 2nd and Washington location. II , There was some discussion regarding location of a store so close to the liquor store, and it was I I thought there could be no reason to deny it, since the location does not seem to present any problems from a police standpoint. I Mr. Langen requested that the Council postpone action on his request so that he could provide de- , I tailed plans. I Mr. Mohr suggested that the Council enter remarks on the application to reflect the attitude of the I Council, and that the only question was compatibility to the neighborhood. e A vote was taken on the motion as stated. Motion carried. Mr. Teague gave a qualified denial for 'I I, the Frontier Tavern, and voted no on approval of the Cracker Barrel Tavern and Of Grape and Grain. :1 'I I' Sale, City property, Lot 12, Block 5, 5th Additiori to Southern Oaks - Mr. Randy Brandt has offered Ii to pay (2,108.31, which is the amount of assessments plus all costs, for purchase of this property.
