Licenses NEW OWNERS OF FALCON LANES - REQUEST FOR TRANSFER (OR PRO-RATION OF FEES) FOR BOTTLE CLUB AND "ON SALE" NON-INTOXICATING MALT LIQUOR LICENSES Baldwin presented a request from James Gartner, Vice President of Falcon Lanes, requesting either transfer of the existing licenses or pro-ration of the fees for the beer and bottle club licenses, and a proposed code amendment which would allow for pro-ration of liquor license fees. Baldwin explained he, personally, did not like the idea of a bottle club as the owner of the establishment has no control over the amount of liquor consumed on the premises. This discussion was interrupted to hold the public hearing scheduled for 7:15. 7:15 P.M. - PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF THE ZONING CODE TO ALLOW ESTABLISHMENT OF A RETAIL LIQUOR STORE IN A B-2 DISTRICT Baldwin opened the public hearing at 7:15 and explained that Richard McEwen and Geraldine Heinrichs are interested in opening a retail liquor store at the Larpenteur/Snelling intersection. He also explained that the proposed code amendment is necessary because the liquor code provides for one retail liquor store license, however, the zoning code does not address the establishment of a liquor store. There being no one present wishing to be heard, the hearing was closed at 7:17 P.M.
