There were separate petitions circulated to the businesses in the area.
Applicants' exhibit "F" was presented being petitions signed by residents
of the neighborhood. Applicants' exhibit "G" was presented being petitions
signed by persons whose principal place of employment is located within
the boundaries of the neighborhood as defined. Exhibit "F" contains
approximately 355 signatures and exhibit "G" contains approximately 61
signatures.
Mr. Wood stated that this concluded the applicants' presentation.
Ramsey Myatt, Assistant City Attorney, next asked that all of those who
wished to speak in opposition stand and identify themselves.
1. Joe Coyte, Attorney, representing Todd Sermon
2. David Mohilner, Professor at CSU, 1173 McHugh
3. Duan Loetz, dentist
4. H. C. Shepherd, resident, 1201 Baker Street
5. Mrs. Lee Caswell, resident, 1118 McHugh
6. Jack Peverly, Northern Oxygen and Medical Supply, 1400 Riverside Ave.
7. William L. Brice, dentist, 1004 McHugh
8. Larry Brokaw, resident, 1134 McHugh
Mr. Larry Brokaw was duly sworn before giving testimony in opposition to the
application. Opponents exhibit "2" being a petition signed by residents
opposing the application was presented. He stated he felt this was not the
type of license to be issued in a residential area. Mr. Wood cross-examined
Mr. Brokaw concerning the petitions he circulated.
Mr. J. Lee Caswell was next, and duly sworn before giving testimony in
opposition to the application and, to the petitions he circulated marked
opponents' exhibit "111. Mr. Wood cross-examined Mr. Caswell regarding the
petitions he circulated. Mr. Caswell also stated the residents were very
much opposed to a tavern, and that they would very much like to have a nice
restaurant there.
Mrs. Opal Caswell was called next and duly sworn before giving testimony re-
garding opponents' exhibit number "3", being the petitions she circulated
obtaining signatures in opposition to the application for a tavern license.
Mr. Wood cross-examined Mrs. Caswell regarding the petitions and the defining
of the area to be served.
Norma C. Shepherd was called next and duly sworn before giving testimony re-
garding the petitions she circulated in opposition to this application being
opponents' number "4". Mrs. Shepherd did not discuss the boundaries with all
of the signers. Mr. Wood cross-examined Mrs. Shepherd regarding her opposition
to the "tavern" classification of license.
Mr. H. C. Shepherd was next called and duly sworn before giving testimony re-
garding the petitions marked opponents' exhibit "5". Mr. Wood cross-examined
Mr. Shepherd regarding the signatures he obtained on the petitions in opposition
to the application.
- 4 -
Mr. Wood stated he objected to opponents' exhibits 1 through 5 due to
lack of proper foundation.
Mr. Joe Coyte, attorney, spoke in support of the petitions circulated in
opposition to the application for a tavern license.
Mr. Ramsey Myatt, Assistant City Attorney, made the following ruling re-
garding the status of the opponents' petitions which have been submitted
for consideration:
1. The petitions are admissable and should be given such weight as
deemed necessary by the Authority.
2. Exhibits 3-4-5 there seems to be no problem on the age being 21
years of the signer.
3. Exhibits 1 and 2 there appears to be some question concerning
the age of the signers.
4. On exhibits 1-2-3 there is some question as to whether or not the
boundaries of the neighborhood were clearly defined and to a lesser
degree on exhibits 4 and 5.
5. This tends to diminish the value of the petitions as they speak
to the needs of the neighborhood being met. However, the addresses
of the petition signers to a very large extent indicate that they
are persons within the boundaries. It does speak to the desires
of the inhabitants in the boundary.
Dr. Duane J. Loetz, dentist, was duly sworn and spoke in opposition to the
tavern license because he did not want to have an establishment selling
alcoholic drinks next to a dental office.
David Mohilner, of 1123 McHugh was duly sworn and called the Authority's
attention to the following article in the Rocky Mountain News on Tuesday,
July 26, 1977:
32--Rocky Nbuntom News
Court lacks
refusal of
liquor license
^
Residents of a neighborhood
do have a voice in controlling
sin
outlets seeking .liquor licenses
their areas, especially if they
Protest vehemently enough.
In a ruling Monday, the Colo -
Ui n
ratio Supreme Court upheld a
lower court decision that states
Denver's excise and licensing
manager, George Canjar, could
base a denial decision on the FF
wishes of the people most af-
fected.
Canjar denied a license appli-
cation by Delfino Huerta, who
wanted to sell beer and wine in
his restaurant, pelfirWs, 225 E.
Seventh Ave. The denial was
based
[�
on neighborhood opposi-
tion, which outweighed support _
_for
Huerta 'splans.
cues., July 26, 1977, Denver, Colo.
Denver Disizief Court upheld
the license denial in a challenge
of the decision.
But the ruling was overturned
by the Colorado Court of Ap-
peals, which said the denial was
improper because there are no
other restaurants in the neigh -
brood licensed to sell only beer
and wine.
There are, however, other!
nearby restaurants that could
sell beer, wine and mixed
drinks, which requires a differ-
entlicense.
The high court, in reversing
the appeals court ruling, said
statutes and case law establish
a14 fold standard for granting
a license -the "reasonable"
requirements of a neighborhood
Apd, the desires of its inhabi-
tants.
"The relevant consideration
is neither the needs of the appli-
cant, nor even the desires of the
patrons," the court said.
- 5 -
The fact that a particular
type of license wasn't author-
ized in a neighborhood isn't
justification for issuing one,
especially if other outlets are
meeting the needs of the area,
i the high court said.
1 The court said the neighbor-
hood around Delfmo's opposed
the license and based this con-
clusion on petitions which con-
tained 275 signatures in opposi.
tion and 208 signatures in
support of Huerta.
In light of the opposition, the
court said it felt compelled to
uphold Denver's denial of the li-
cense. The high court said no
court could be in a position to
assert its judgment over that of
the licensing authority.
This article was admitted as opponents' exhibit number "6"
Jack Peverly owner of Northern Oxygen and Medical Supply, was duly sworn
and spoke in opposition. His inquiry was directed to parking requirements
and to the hours allowed for business with this classification of license.
Mr. Vahe Boyajian, 1300 Emigh, was duly sworn and inquired of the Authority
additional information regarding the "establishment of the neighborhood"
since he feels this kind of business would draw patrons from all over the
City. Mr. Boyajian stated he felt that this type of establishment should
be limited to certain areas.
Mr. Joe Coyte, Attorney, representing Todd Sermon, owner of Butch Cassidy's,
stated that the purpose of their appearance was to show that the reasonable
needs of the area are currently being met. Mr. William Arduino was re-
called by Mr. Coyte. He answered questions regarding his experience as a
bar owner and that future growth looked real good for this area. Mr. Coyte
also inquired into the seating and the hours of service.
Mr. Todd Sermon was called and duly sworn before giving testimony. Mr.
Sermon is owner and operator of Butch Cassidy's, 934 Lemay. The testimony
was in regard to past experience and the current operation at Butch Cassidy's.
Dr. William Brice was called and duly sworn before giving testimony. His
testimony concerned the signers of the petitions and their knowledge con-
cerning the liquor license.
Authority member Renz inquired of Mr. Caswell when he first noticed the sign
which was posted on the property. Mr. Caswell stated he did not pay any
attention until on Saturday, July 23 when the sign was moved and put beside
the foundation of the building.
Mr. Wood, attorney for the applicant, made his closing statements in support
of the application.
The opponents each made a closing statement reiterating that they did not want
a tavern located in their residential neighborhood. Mr. Coyte restated that
his client spoke to the issue of "are the reasonable needs of the neighborhood
already being met."
Ramsey Myatt, Assistant City Attorney, stated the hearing is now closed and
the Authority now needs to consider the evidence and render a decision in
writing within 30 days.
Consensus of the Authority was to go on with the agenda and later in the meeting
this matter will be discussed and a decision made.
