Manager stated that, since the concern is whether or not it is appropriate for a ',beer license to be issued, two questions need to be answered. If the beer license is not granted, would plans be continued for a pizza parlor; and if arrangements cannot be worked out with the City for development of the pond area, would Mr. Weber proceed with construction. Mr. Weber stated that, without a beer license, it would be difficult to have a successful pizza establishment. He advised he would proceed e with the establishment, however, if the City did not grant permission to develop the City property. He further stated that his' present operation is half the size of the planned one. At the present establishment, 30 people are employed; all but five of them are under 21. The payroll has been $30,000 so far this year which indicates it is of great benefit to the young people working there. He added that the hours of operation on Sunday are 1:00 p.m. to midnight; Monday through Thursday they are 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.,- and Friday and Saturday they are 11:00 a.m. to 2:00, a.m. The bulk of business .is over with by 10:00, so noise does diminish late in the evening. 'Hr. Don Taylor, 2498 Sorrel WaYJ one of the affected property owners in the area, voiced total support of the proposed operation, stating it would make an attractive area out' of a now vacant lot which attracts motor cyclists ~nd other nuisances. Weber's good but with reluctance, stating it is immediatel ad acent to r s tied property. e un ortunate zon~ng arrangement. it would be an attractive establishment but that it would not be compatible with the surrounding area. Councilwoman Campbell pointed out that lights, noise and traffic will occur with any kind of commercial activity.an~ hopes that ~arks e can co-operate. Mr. Wood stated that denial would be restr~ct~ng use that lS compatible with the present zoning in that area. Comm It was 'moved and seconded to recommend approval of the license.

Burt Burt Arnold, 2500 Sorrell Way, also .spoke in opposition. Owner Wayne Weber said beer and wine did not make up that large a percent of sales. He stated he had a map and petitions which he felt indicated that many people in the immediate vicinity were not opposed. Mr. Hershner stated he had originally been in favor of the establishment on that site but would have to reconsider, not because of beer and wine, but because of the late-night factor. Mayor Anderson explained that the motion called for approval so that, if any reverse action was to be taken, ~it would have to be a motion to rescind. Mr. Murray concurred with Mr. Hershner, stating it .was an unfortunate zoning error. Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Williams to rescind the action taken at the Committee meeting. . Mr. Wood stated he felt it was extremely unfortunate to allow someone to proceed this far and then deny approval of a liquor license on the basis of being incompatible withcthe business zone. He also disapproved of scare tactics used by inferring young people would be particularly noisy late at night. Vote was taken on the motion, all council members present voting aye except Mr. Wood and Mrs. Campbell voting no. E. iJolnt Housing Committee Recommendation to Expand Eligibility for Accommodation in I City Subsidized Housing - It was stated that the Joint Housing Committee is asking i the Council to consider expansion of the Senior Home Repair Program to include I !single persons of 50 years of age with incomes of less than $3,000 annually and also !disab1ed persons of any age on a case by case basis. \councilman Williams stated this program is exp~rimental in nature. ~ It would be his i ifeeling it should become well established before any expansion is considered. : IMr. Wood moved seconded-by Mr. Williams to adopt the recommendations. Mr. Murray ; jpointed out that SOS hasn't discussed this as yet and it would seem inappropriate ifor the City to add extra requirements in which SOS mayor may not be interested. I !TO begin to dilute a program with already inadequate funding really concerns him. I e~ I :Mr. Williams voiced agreement. After discussion on the merits of adopting one ior both of the suggestions, Mr. Williams stated he would favor holding off on the proposals to allow input from SOS and from Mrs. Niven. Comm Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Hershner to table. Motion carried, all members 1:0/31/73 present voting aye. The matter will be placed on the consent calendar. .t,' -i" :Approve ;\-' ---=------ (See Council Ac-i:i~n below) 11/5/73 - 9 "!"!Co
