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 have worked in the restaurant business for 12 years during that time I also had a liquor license. Several years ago I decided to rent my restaurant (at this location) however, the tenant did not pay her rent and did not file for a liquor license. Unfortunately, it resulted in lost revenue. I locked out the tenant and decided to reopen my restaurant. I attended Basic and Management liquor law training to identify obviously intoxicated customers, I am familiar with the legal forms of ID and my staff also attended the training class.”
The public convenience requires and the best interest of the community will be substantially served by the issuance of the liquor license because:
“This restaurant has been in operation for approximately 12 years. The community supports the restaurant and due to the menu, the service of alcohol complements the food service. The restaurant does not have any entertainment and the restaurant will continue to be supportive to the neighborhood and surrounding communities.”
