Assistant General Counsel Jason Gabriel read the LUZ Committee’s rules of procedure for the benefit of the audience. He discussed an upcoming appeal to Resolution 2013-67-A which approved an appeal of an application for a liquor license on Merrill Road, effectively denying the license.  The applicant for the license has subsequently appealed the case to the circuit court and a judge has directed the City Council to amend the resolution to include more detailed facts and specific findings that led to its decision to approve the appeal.  The Office of General Counsel has drafted a revised resolution (2014-35) which will be introduced at City Council next Tuesday for consideration as an emergency measure in order to meet the court’s mandated deadline for response.

Public hearing opened and closed

 

The committee engaged in considerable discussion with and questioning of Steve Diebenow representing the developer and with Jonathan Oliff representing Riverside-Avondale Preservation. Mr. Diebenow explained the trade-offs that went into the multiple revisions of the site plan and the ways in which neighborhood concerns were accommodated. Council Member Redman advocated for the addition of bicycle lanes to the reconfigured St. Johns Avenue and ideas were discussed for installing a bike lane that could be accommodated by the narrow bridge near the property.
