ITEM 5. GENERAL BUSINESS
(A) REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF BOUNDARIES
Deputy City Attorney Paul Kennebeck explained to the Liquor Authority that there has been a request from the law office of Dill, Dill, Carr, Stonbraker, & Hutchings to expand the boundaries of the neighborhood for the "needs and desires" portion of the liquor license application of Jillian's that will be coming before them in the near future. Currently, the neighborhood boundary given to liquor-license applicants is one square mile. The proposed location of the upcoming application is the Colorado Mills site which is very large and just about covers the entire square mile boundary itself. Attorney Kennebeck said that this site is unique and would ask the Authority to instruct the City Clerk's Office to expand the neighborhood to 2 miles square.
Mr. Monsoor moved to expand the boundaries of the neighborhood for any liquor-license applications to be located within the Colorado Mills site of Denver West from one square mile to two miles square. The motion was seconded and with those present voting Aye, THE MOTION TO EXPAND THE BOUNDARIES CARRIED.
