Agenda
Item
E-5 Discussion was held on the request to transfer the On -Sale Intoxicat-
ing Liquor License for Rascals's ( John T., Inco;r:porated- Street
Bar ). Al.derman Strain was concerned about moving a street bar
out of the downtown area. He said that this bar draws many people
and would like to see it remain downtown. Alderman McConnell
stated that the parking in the downtown area is not good that is
one of the reasons they want to leave. Alderman Strain stated that
we have the center street parking ramp which is only a block away.
Wishing to answer the aldermen was Jeff Roehrick, owner of
Rascal's. He urged the -Council to approve the move to Northbrook,
however, he did not want to be responsible for security for the
entird parking lot for all of the other businesses. The owners of
Northbrook Shopping Mall has told Mr. Roehrick that he will try to
get this parking lot under control in the summer. Alderman Bluhm
stated that since this parking lot is a private lot, the Planning
Commission can't really get involved in setting standards for that
part of this transfer.
Mayor Hazama stated that all of the other shopping centers have
patrols for their parking lots, Northbrook is the only center that
does not have a security patrol.
President Postier stated that if the shopping center, or the
applicant does not conform then Rascal's should not be allowed to
move.
Alderman McConnell questioned Mr. Roehrick as to why he wanted to
move. Mr. Roehrick stated that the biggest was the parking.
He �- stated that the people just won't use the ramp even .'J"f 'i t -.i..s fo)
block and it is free parking. He also wants to expand his business
and he cannot do so in the place that he is located.
Alderman Strain stated that he does not want to see Rascal's move
from.downtown. He wanted to know why besides parking would make
him move from downtown. Mr. Roehrick stated that he wants to add
a game room and expand his business which he cannot do at the
present location. He also explained that he would not move unless
he found a suitable tenant for the present location. '
The Council was questioning the status of the HUD 312 program
that was issued to help Rascal's remodel. Mr. Roehrick stated
that this would be taken care of and if it wasn't he would not move.
The City would not lose any money.
Having no further discussion, Bluhm moved , Solinger second to
approve the transfer from 8 South Broadway to Northbrook Shopping
Center subject to the following:
1. The applicant must provide a current site plan which
shows the existing parking layout and details the location of the
