| 0 | 2. | Motion | Motion relating to the new application for a food dealer license of Joes Construction Service, LLC for the premises 848 N. 27th Street doing business as "NNR Retail and Wholesale Tobacco" in the 4th Aldermanic District.
Minutes note: Individuals appearing:
Yousef Ali, applicant, 2635 W. Kilbourn Ave.
Ald. Robert Bauman, 4th District Alderman
Mutaz Khatib, partner in the LLC
Ofc. Steven Witkowski, District 3 Community Prosecution Unit
Roseanne Mathias, owns a property at 2415 W. Kilbourn Ave.
Pat Dunn, 951 N. 29th St.
Chris Mandel, 2932 W. State St.
Ald. Bauman says that the applicants should submit a new application that specifies what the business will be selling as well as a plan of operation.
Atty. Schrimpf says that since the e-mail from Ald. Bauman references the part of the city code that includes overconcentration as a valid reason for objection, the letter to the applicant provides adequate notice of overconcentration as a possible objection.
Ald. Kovac moves to enter a concentration map centered on 848 N. 27th St. dated March 4, 2010 part of the record. Prevailed 5-0.
Atty. Schrimpf says that the copy of the city ordinance that was sent to the applicant by the Health Department was not the updated one that addresses overconcentration as a basis for objection. Therefore, the issue of overconcentration cannot be addressed.
Ald. Coggs moves to hold the matter to the call of the chair. Prevailed 5-0.
