ZONE CASE NO. 508:
Mayor Ridlehuber called a public hearing on Zone Case No. 508
request of Bill Nichols for a specific use permit to serve alcoholic
beverages, beer only, in a C.R.D. (Cc~m~rcial Retail District) zoning
district located at 2105 Din~aitt Road. It was moved by Alderman Brown
seconded by Alderman James to call the public hearing. Motion carried
unanimously. Mayor called the public hearing on Zone Case ~508. Mayor
Ridlehuber ask BOb Richards, Director of Planning to explain the
Planning and Zoning Co~mission's recc~anendation.
BOb Richards, Director of Planning explained that Zone Case No. 508
cc~s as an appeal to the Council; this case was heard at the May 23rd
meeting and was denied by a 3-0 vote of the Corm~ssioner's. BOb showed
the audience the zoning map and explained how the area was zoned.
Tc~Hamilton, City Attorney spoke; This request for beer only has
two legal consequences frcm the standpoint of enforcement, if it is
passed the State does have laws that control the use of alcoholic
beverages, therefore, frc~the standpoint of filing any criminal charges
for violation of sale of beer only, the City would not have the
authority to do that. Another thing that needs tobepinted out is that
the City has no ordinance that relates to the serving of food and the
serving of alcoholic beverages in one establis~t, consequently, any
zone change that authorized the sale of alcoholic beverages would not
necessary require that foodbe served in that establishment, which means
that the owner could at his option cease serving food upon the granting
of the specific permit and serve only alcoholic beverages in that
establishment, and notbe in violation of our ordinance.
Mayor Ridlehuber then ask for those who would like to speak that
were for the zone change:
Those speaking for were: Bob Bass, Attorney for Bill and Mattie
Nichols, C.M. Peterson, Phyllis Kovar, Don Catlett, and Bill Nichols.
Mayor then ask for those whowould like to speak against said zone
change.
Councilman Junior Brown spoke; Everyone is speaking of change here
tonight, I guess I'll speak about change also. Our land is changing,
these changes are such a magnitude that they can only be called
historic. No institution or group of people are affected ~Dre or
impacted more greatly than our towns and cities. We are faced with a
great deal of the changes that are cc~J_ng about and these are difficult
times for us, this Council, for the people we represent, which are you
and the things we believe in. It is hard for us to get a handle on it
if we don't really have any direction, we just have a certain group of
people that come to us ~ after time. We need more input from the
cc~munity not only on issues such as this but various things that come
up like Single Msmber Districts. So if you will as citizens cc~e to us
and let us know what it is that you want. As Tom and Bobby stated,
maybe its time for a wet/dry election, it's ~ this is the change that
we go through. We have the economic situation of our City the group of
people as a whole have changed, let us know as a cc~xm~nity as a whole.
Councilman Taylor indicated he had nothing to add that he felt
everything has been said.
Mayor Ridlehuber then called for a recess.
