Ms. Miller moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to forward to OLCC with recommendation for approval, subject to conditions, if any. Ms. Miller stated that she would like for staff to check into the West Uni- versity Neighborhood Association denial request. Mr. Lindberg stated that he would like to hold this item over because he does understand what their objec- tions are. Ms. Schue stated that she feels uncomfortable because there are no standards for the council for determining approval of liquor license appli- cations. Ms. Wooten stated that more information should be provided to the neighborhood groups regarding liquor licenses. Oregon Administrative Rules take into consideration concerns raised, so she would prefer to forward this to OLCC unless there are strong objections. Ms. Smith indicated agreement with Ms. Wooten and noted that unless there are glaring problems with the operation, the council practice has been to forward the application with approval. She asked if anyone had received communication from West University Neighbors. Beth Campbell, Neighborhood Liaison, stated that in the past, West University Neigh- borhood residents have expressed concern about what they feel is a saturation of bars, taverns, and half-way houses in their area. Ms. Smith noted that this item could be held over. Mr. Obie stated that for consistency, this application should be forwarded. Mr. Lindberg indicated that he is not sure that that is appropriate logic. OLCC concerns will be broad-based - MINUTES--Eugene City Council January 14, 1981 Page 9
