192 2/28/72 Mr. Marier moved to amend Ordinance 31 by changing the wording of Sect. 2, Subd 5 to include that an "On sale" or an "Off sale" license may be issued to two separate persons for two separate premises, and that an "On sale" license may be issued to businesses which also serve food. This was discussed. Mr. Marier stated that he doesn't want on and off sale licesnes together unless they have two separate buildings. Mr. Rosengren stated that the State law won't allow a person to have licenses for separate buildings; Mr. Locher thought husband and wife could hold 2 different licenses. Mrs. Swanson seconded the motion. Vote - Jaworski--No; Marier- -Yes; Swanson- -Yes; Bohjanen - -No. Tie vote. Mr. Bohjanen wanted more clarification as to whether this would have to be for separate buildings or 2 separate businesses in the same building. Mr. Marier said they could have 2 separate entrances with separate addresses. Mr. Bohjanen asked if joint partnership could own both. Mr. Locher thought it would be impractical to issue insurance to each one. Mrs. Gould wondered if 50 applic- ants came in for off sale licenses if we would have to issue licenses to each one; Mr. Locher said No. Mrs. Gould felt we should set limitations on how many we issue; she felt the Oasis and Hank's Cate are too close together; she thought an ordinance could regulate the number and distance apart future liquor licenses might be. Mr. Marier gave his reasons as not wanting both licenses housed under one roof and, regarding trying to get future development in here, anyone who owns a lic- ense now is a deterrent to big businesses coming in, thinking on a tax basis. It is not fair to a man, and how could we get a man to come in and build such a building. Licenses are primarily a source for the Village to get money and we should try to attract other people to build. Mr. Marier read the wording he preferred; Mr. Locher added a definition of premises to be included. Mr. Rosen - gren commented that the Council took the long way of saying that he didn't get a license; he felt that this was a personal thing on Mr. Marier's part; this was denied. Mr. Rosengren stated that no one could operate an off sale business in this Village and make money - he had tried. Mr. Marier stated that one place does. Mr. Rosengren countered that that one gets his business from a- nother village and has a body shop next door to make a living. There was more discussion on the wording of the amendment. Mr. Marier moved to adopt amending Ordinance No. 31D with the revised wording. Seconded by Mrs. Swanson. Mr. Jaworski asked if this ordinance needed a hear- ing and was told No. The Clerk asked for clarification - foes this mean that we definitely cannot issue an on and an off sale license to the same person if he owns both premises; this was correct. Vote: Jaworski - -No; Marier- -Yea; Swanson- -Yes; Bohjanen - -Yes. Motion carried. Mr. Locher stated that this would be published on Friday. It was declared that due to the adoption of this amendment that we cannot put Henry Rosengren's off sale liquor license appli- cation on the next agenda. Mrs. Swanson asked Mr. Myhre what Richard Roberts had done in conjunction with his hog farm and the stipulations put on it. Mary said that he had not seen . any hogs nor had any complaints; however, he had not been on the premises. Mrs. Swanson noted that his was to have been on the agenda within 60 days of the original hearing in November on the hog feeding and phasing out of the garbage. Mr. Locher said he will ask the County Officers to give us a report on this. Mrs. Swanson wished to refresh the memory of the members, that in the January expenditures $741.81 was spent for cleaning the parks in January. Mr. Jaworski stated that the Glenn Rehbein item was not for cleaning the rinks but for grad- ing 1Iwork done before January. Mrs. Swanson said that of the total Parks pay- roll h7, .80 %hwasfoaiiid to 1 family; she had not included Cliff Hagen's $499 was for the same personnel to clean the 1 1 1
