(1499) e 0564 ) e - Mr. Murray moved seconded by Mr. Keller to recommend approval of the license. In making the motion, Mr. Murray noted that no zone change was involved nor was the license granted by the Council, the only action here being to make recommendations to the OLCC. He couldn't see how the proposed restaurant would aggravate what was already allowed in that area, calling attention to nearby establishments which in terms of serving alcoholic beverages went far beyond what was requested by this applicant. In response to Councilman Bradley for criteria on which to base the Council's decision, Manager explained the procedure of asking staff recommendation on such questions as policing problems, traffic, code compliance, etc., before an application is brought for Council consideration. In addition, criteria on which the OLCC bases its decisions is available to the Council - acceptable bonding, financial backing to avoid any connection with liquor distributors, personal record, etc. Local criteria takes into account character of surrounding land development, whether disturbing at night to residential uses; proximity to public schools, churches, parks; compatability with commercial uses; density of population; etc. Councilman Hamel said he had viewed the property and noted parking requirements were met. He felt the Council should not judge what had already been investigated, and in view of the evidence he felt the application should be recommended for approval. Councilwoman Shirey agreed, although she thought it unfortunate that the zoning would allow this type of situation. Vote was taken on the motion to recommend approval. The motion carried, all Council members present voting aye, except Councilman Bradley abstaining. Manager referred to a statement made about some city employe trying to arouse opposition to the license. He explained probable confusion about investigation made by OLCC; the city would not be calling on neighbors. Manager said several people in the manager's office had talked recently with Mrs. Hall, an elderly property owner in the area who was understandably upset about this license. But he didn't want the Council to think staff was either supporting or opposing these applications as they came up.
