TWIN RINKS LIOUOR LICENSE Gary Benjoya,Twin Rinks Ice Arena,explained the reasons for the request of their facility for a liquor license. Lengthy discussion took place regarding the request for a liquor license by the ice arena. Trustees raised concerns as to why this is necessary for this facility;the fact that this is supposedly a family facility;who would keep control over liquor consumption;safety relating to patrons consuming alcohol and then ice skating. Mr.Benjoya noted this would be for specific reasons only;they would employ the services of off-duty police officers;they would monitor consumption closely. Further discussion took place with regard to possible ways to implement this type of license,should the Board be in favor of granting this type of license. Trustee Glover stated that she does not see any reason for a liquor license at this facility;if it were to be granted,she wants to make sure that the liquor is completely separate from the skating area. Trustee Reid stated that he would prefer to see an event-by-event application that is reviewed by the Board rather than a controlled license that is reviewed after a six-month period. President Mathias directed Mr.Balling to set up a meeting including staff,Mr.Raysa and the owners of Twin Rinks to discuss the possibility of granting this request. Plan Commissioner Berman urged the Board to strongly consider granting this request in some manner. President Mathias stated that the Board will only consider this request for private parties;it will not consider any liquor sales that are open to the public. CRAVINGS-LIOUOR LICENSE REOUEST Trustee Braiman stated that he requested that this item be removed from the Consent Agenda because he does not believe there is a need for a hot dog stand to have a liquor license;there are many children that go to Cravings for lunch,and he does not see the need to have liquor on the premises;this would also set a precedent,and there would be similar requests from other hot dog stands. President Mathias polled the Board:"YES"indicates favor of granting the petitioner's request;"NO"indicates opposition: YES: Reid,Hendricks NO: Marienthal,Braiman,Glover ABSENT: Rubin President Mathias stated that the petitioner should be invited to appear before the Board if he is still interested in pursuing his request,with the knowledge that,based on this polling,the ordinance could not pass. 10058 5/19/97 Moved by Reid,seconded by Hendricks,to defer action on amending Chapter 5.20 of the Liquor Controls Ordinance reserving a Class E license for Cravings,L.L.C.,permitting the sale of beer and wine for consumption on the premises only.
