Perez - He states he is aware that the applicant has a clean record in other areas, but those cannot be compared to the proposed location. There is a history of problems on the street. He is opposed to the application. Atty. Whitcomb presented a list of individuals who have already submitted letters of support. He states the individuals all have experience with Silk and are in support of the application. The other Silk locations do not have tavern issues, as the alcohol is secondary to the primary business. It is intended to be an entertainment facility. The expressed concerns can only be proven wrong by allowing the establishment to open and show they will have no problems. The building will be discrete with a modern exterior with an "S" on it and will not lower property values. The proposed establishment will be an upscale gentleman's club. The hearing for this item began at 1:15 PM and ended at 4:55 PM Ald. Dudzik moved approval of the Public Entertainment Premises without an alcohol license. (Motion failed 1-4) Ald. Dudzik moved denial based on neighborhood objections. (Prevailed 5-0) Meeting recessed at 5:00 PM	Pass	5:0
