Applicant’s Statement
The applicant submitted the following statement in support of this application. Spelling, grammar and punctuation in the statement are shown exactly as written by the applicant on the City Questionnaire.
I have the capability, reliability and qualifications to hold a liquor license because:
“I owned a series 7 Liquor License at this location and previously a Series 10. I moved the 7 license to another location and want to continue to serve the needs of my customers. I own 4 other liquor licenses and have recently updated my liquor law training. I have no violations against my liquor licenses and will ensure there are no sales to underage or obviously intoxicated customers."
The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because:
"This is an existing liquor establishment still owned and operated by me. I transferred my Series 7 license to another location and so needed to obtain new liquor licenses. The public frequents this establishment and is content with the servies I offer. It continues to be an asset to the neighborhood."
