McCaslin Blvd. Chairperson Jeffers opened the public heating on the application of Flatirons Discount liquors, Inc. for retail liquor store license. The licensed premises are located at 550 S. McCaslin Boulevard in Louisville. The Secretary commented that the application is for a retail liquor store license. Copies of the complete application have been provided to each Authority member. The application is complete. Fingerprint reports are already on file with the state. Public notice of this hearing has been posted and published in accordance with state law. The Secretary was not aware of any reason that would require the Authority to deny the application. Attorney Light commented that the published public notice had one omission that is required by the State Statute. Public notice on corporations must include names and address of the officers and shareholders of the corporation. In reviewing the matter, Light stated that the public heating could commence, however at the conclusion of the meeting the hearing should be continued to the next meeting. Staff would then re-publish and re-post the required information for a continued heating. Chairperson Jeffers asked if there were any Authority member disclosures. There were none. Chairperson Jeffers asked if anyone present had any objections to the boundaries of the neighborhood being the current boundaries of the City of Louisville. Being none, the public hearing proceeded. Chairperson Jeffers moved that the complete application as contained in the Authority packets be made a part of the record of this heating. Lipton seconded the motion. All members were in favor. Chairperson Jeffers asked the applicant to come forward, state their name and address for the record, and take the oath. Mr. Dill, Attorney for the Applicant, Flatiron Discount Liquor, Inc., stated that he had seven Louisville residents who wished to speak in favor of the application. He also stated that Mr. Max Scott of Oedipus Inc., who conducted the survey for the application, would make a presentation of the results of the survey. Finally he would request the applicant's shareholder and officer, Richard Eisenberg make a presentation to the Authority. Mr. Dill stated that the application was for a 1690 square foot store. The concept is not to compete with the larger liquor stores but to provide customer convenience and meet the requests of people that shop at Sam's Club. The prices of wine and liquor will be at a very competitive cost. Mr. Dill asked that the witnesses be sworn in. 3
