Represented by Charlie Spurgeon, (arrived at 10:30 am) Rob made a motion to approve, seconded by Connie, passed 4 -0 3. Consideration of the Authority of a Request from Alpine Wine and Spirits to discuss possible opening of second security curtain during hours of operation. Feedback and discussion on information received from Colorado Department of Revenue and Local Licensing Authority. Mick Ireland and Mickey Warner have suggested they would install a solid wall with t -bar panels /bolted into floor, from the far eastern door to center post and decorated with wine crate fagade panels 1 /4" thick, which would be at least 40 inches high. Discussion ensued by the LLA board. They are concerned about the thinness of wall and height. Tom Mullin from West Vail Liquor Mart, asked for clarification of some of the issues. Wants reason for changing walls. Mick said it was aesthetics (looks closed with the gate down), visually attractive, storage issue and security. Tom Mullin said it's not the TOV job or the authority's job to make sure the public knows the store is open. It is the establishments job not the authority's job to ensure the establishment has opportunity for getting their customers to know they are open. Tom went through the history of Alpine Wine and Spirits, from change of location, etc. including letters from Don Pace with Colorado Liquor Enforcement Division regarding the gate being down and width of opening, as well as Regulation 47 -302 Changing, Altering, or Modifying Licensed Premises, Section 2 and 4(B). (see attached notes). He stated the population and other needs of the neighborhood has not changed in the last few years. He feels the change is not necessary as there are no representatives of the neighborhood stating they think they are closed, nor it is about seeing that it is aethestically pleasing, etc. Mick responded to the objections that were made. There was no executive session on the original motions for approval, and there were no violations. This is not a mini - hearing about a liquor license to be issued. The other issues about under age, shoulder tapping etc. are not appropriate at this discussion about the wall change. There is nothing in the code that is contrary to what they are trying to do. Does their proposal meet the LLA conditions or needs? They think they have met those needs. The needs of the neighborhood are being met and the manager is getting comments that they thought the store was closed. It rings true. Rob stated he thinks the LLA needs to take all things into consideration. Bob 5 Louthan stated if they look at the obligation to enforce the state codes, and the A wall is not a stack of boxes it meets the state laws. Connie stated she is against the thin wall. She was against the liquor store being in a grocery store in the first place. She said the gate does look like East Colfax and a high crime area. She wants the planter box because it is more substantial than what is being proposed. Mick said their preference is for the thinner wall and screwed into the floor. If the board insists on an 18 inch deep flower box, they will get a planter box. Dave Chapin asked if the alteration would require a public meeting. The LLA can make the choice to have this be an agenda item at the next meeting. Connie suggested they come back with another proposal. Mick proposed that they would submit a plan but would not implement it until the Chairman of the LLA signed off on it. He does not want to come back for a fourth meeting. Lorelei stated the LLA could make conditions of approval or changes at this x : meeting and not have them come back again. Connie made a motion to approve the request to alter the existing premises to duplicate the barriers that are on the other side of the post with the same height,width and depth of the existing planter, with final approval based on submission of documentation of the diagram and infrared security system to the Authority by October 8, 2003.
