AGENDA ITEM 2B RENEWAL OF HOTEL -RESTAURANT LIQUOR LICENSE AND EXTENDED HOURS LICENSE, HALL OF FAME, INC., DBA OUT OF BOUNDS, 200 WEST MOUNTAIN AVENUE Report: When this place of business first opened in June of 1971, we had at least two (2) cases of liquor being served to minors. The cases were developed by this Department through the use of Undercover Agents after we had received a complaint. At this time the manager and the owners of this establishment were called to my office, and they were made aware of the com- plaint. The manager advised that due to the confusion of opening, trying to train new help and get the complete opera- tion going, that they probably had been lax. They were given a verbal warning by this office, and advised that if we had any further complaints that action would be taken against them. They advised that they would do everything in their power to run a good operation. Since June we have made numerous checks on this place of busi- ness, and have found no further violations. I believe that they are making every attempt to operate legitimately; there- fore, I know of no reason why this license should not be re- newed. Respectfully submitted, Ralph M. Smith Chief of Police Motion was made by Councilman Fead, seconded by Cmircilm n Lopez, that this license be approved. Upon a roll call, all members of the Council voted in the affirmative.

The City Manager stated that Dellenbach requested three items; #1, banjo sign., which the Planning and Zoning Board did not approve; #2, a free standing sign, wh:ic`, is not legal and which Dellenbach will change to make legal; and 413, the big item, which is the roof top sign. Mr. R. W. Dellenbach was present and said he would put a cement wall around the edge of the top of his building to shield some air-conditioning equipment and would mount the sign on the wall. It was the consensus of opinion of the Council members that this would comply with the ordinance by making t}e sign a flush wall sign. The free-standing sign was discussed concerning how to measure its area. Councilman Fead's objection was to this sign. The sign code states that in free standing signs, the area shall be measured in a manner which creates the smallest single continuous perimeter enclosing the extreme limits of the sign. It was determined that according to calculations using the line which produces the larger area would require the sign be located 40 feet instead of 30 feet from the street. Mayor Carson stated that Mr. Dellenbach waited until the code was adopted and had been very cooperative, but that the Council should not get trapped in the future on this type of sign. The City Manager said that he is living with intent of law, that thi0 a unit development plan, and the Council has the right to approve the development plan with signs as presented.
