Louisville Local Licensing Authority Meeting Date: November 27, 2000 Page 11 Member Turner and Vice Chairperson Lipton asked about the history of Mr. Min's restaurant. Attorney Gottesfeld stated that the strip mall property is owned by Columbine West LLC and that there have been a string of unsuccessful businesses, the most recent, A Cut Above Italian Deli from whom Mr. Min obtained his current sublease in April. Members reviewed the lease documents included in the packets and again discussed the timing for obtaining the prime lease and assent of the landlord. Attorney Gottesfeld reiterated that the prime lease would be obtained tomorrow and the assent from the landlord within the next ten days. Attorney Gottesfeld continued that Mr. Min has been operating the restaurant since April, that the restaurant is fairly successful and that patrons have requested that beer, wine and sake be made available. Member Jeffers stated that, in his mind, the application is incomplete and that the matter should be continued to the next regularly scheduled meeting December 18, 2000. He suggested that members review the application materials and advise the applicant of any other deficiencies so that those matters could be cleared up prior to the next meeting. Attorney Gottesfeld stated that there were witnesses present to testify to the needs and desires of the neighborhood and asked if such testimony could be given at this evenings hearing so that the witnesses would not have to come back a second time for the December 18, 2000 meeting. Authority Attorney Kelly advised members that according to the Rules of Procedure, if they determine the application to be incomplete, no action should be taken on the application, including witness testimony, other than to continue the matter to the next meeting of the Authority. Member Kimmett questioned if the petition submitted by the applicant could be used to establish the needs and desires in lieu of having witnesses present at the next hearing date. Attorney Kelly stated that the applicant has a choice of providing witness testimony and/or a petition. She continued that, in the past, the Authority has accepted petitions as evidence to the needs and desires issue. Member Jeffers moved to continue the public hearing for Byung U. Min d/b/a Little Tokyo, 332 McCaslin Blvd., to the next regularly scheduled meeting December 18, 2000. Member Evans seconded the motion. Roll Call Vote: Turner - yes, Lipton - yes, Evans - yes, Jeffers - yes, Kimmett - yes. All members were in favor, the motion carried. Attorney Gottesfeld asked if members of the Authority required any further documents or information prior to the next meeting.
