GATCH: I do. <br /> <br />MORRIS: <br /> <br />GATCH: <br /> <br />MORRIS: <br /> <br />GATCH: <br /> <br />MORRIS: <br /> <br />Market Service Associates, Inc. was hired by the Outback Steakhouse of Louisville <br />to circulate a petition in regard to a Hotel & Restaurant Liquor License. The <br />petition circulation was conducted under the control of Market Services Associates. <br /> <br />Four of Market Service Associates, Inc.'s circulators canvassed residents door-to- <br />door closest to the proposed outlet and in representative sections of the <br />neighborhood designated by the Licensing Authority. Two circulators canvassed <br />business owners or managers closest to the proposed outlet. A notarized affidavit <br />signed by the circulator is attached to each petition (see attached results). The <br />summary of the petition signatures are: <br /> <br />signatures supporting issuance: <br /> residents 216 <br /> business owners or managers 14 <br /> <br />signatures opposing issuance: <br /> residents <br /> business owners or managers <br /> <br />37 <br /> 0 <br /> <br />total number of signatures <br /> <br />267 <br /> <br />Is 51.4% stating that there are sufficient numbers of outlets typical in other surveys <br />that you have done in the past? <br /> <br />It is. I think it is hard for people to tell you why they are opposed to any <br />application. Very often they will say something in the general area of that there are <br />just too many places selling alcohol. We never take it as meaning they think there <br />are too many white table clothed steakhouses in this particular case. I don't think <br />that was what anyone was saying. It tends to be a general - "gee we've heard about <br />drunken driving or we've heard about kids getting killed or we've heard about some <br />of the things that can happen because of alcohol and there are just too many places <br />who serve alcohol." They tend not to discriminate between the convenience stores <br />selling 3.2% beer, a liquor store selling package liquor, or the particular client that <br />we are working for. <br /> <br />You don't find those numbers higher for a liquor store type use? <br /> <br />They tend to be the highest for 3.2% beer application and convenience stores. They <br />tend to be lowest in my experience for sit down restaurant. <br /> <br />Do any members of the Authority have any additional questions? <br /> <br />NONE. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
