Jonathan Howland, 3194 Redstone Road, Boulder, CO introduced himself to the Authority and took the oath. Rommelfanger asked for an applicant presentation. Mr. Howland stated he would like to open a small, neighborhood, Belgian inspired brew pub. He felt it would fit well in the downtown area and was looking forward to opening the business. He said he is planning a small menu for the food service. Machado asked if the patio area in the back was a shared space. Howland reported it is currently a common area but the landlord has agreed to dedicate space to the brew pub by roping off or using planters for separation. Authority Attorney Light cautioned the applicant the burden was on him as the licensee to control the alcohol on the patio. He asked if the patio area was visible from the brew pub. The applicant stated there was a sight line to the patio and was aware he would have to have staff members dedicated to taking care of the patio. Authority Attorney Light suggested in addition to planters or ropes to separate the area from the common area, there should be signs stating no alcohol was allowed outside the patio area.
