Council Resolution

E. 8th Street will intensify and increase the problem and create a
dangerous situation for all persons, but particularly the elderly;
that studies have indicated that crime does tend to increase in
the vicinity or area surrounding adult uses; and
T�HEREAS, the license applicant stated to the License Inspector
and to the License Committee that he had no intention of seeking any
alcoholic beverage license for the premises, but upon examination of
the lease between the applicant and Ferris Alexander, the owner of
the building, the lease required as a condition that the applica.nt
seek and obtain a 3. 2 beer license for the premises, and the lease
further provided that it would be null and void without such license
being obtained; that this is apparently a false statement made in
connection with an application for a license, and reflects unfavor-
ably upon the fitness of the licensee for this particular license;
and
WHEREAS, the License Committee voted 3-0 to recommend to the
City Council that the 1'icense application be denied upon all of the
testimony and evidence, for the reasons stated in tla�e foregoing
Whereas Clauses in this resolution; and
WHEREAS, a copy of this resolution as proposed bg the License
Committee has been mailed to the applicant prior to its considera-
tion by the City Council; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the application of Ronald C. FTitt for a Pool
Hall License for the premises at 39 E. 8th Street in Saint P�ul
is hereby denied.
