Historical March 1980 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
City Excise Commissioner Arthur McLeod has ruled that a liquor license may be issued to the Three Fifty Four Skinker Corporation. The license will be used in the operation of a restaurant in the apartment building located at 354 N. Skinker. Opponents say that they will have their lawyer file an appeal in the circuit court of Missouri. •
Lou Hamilton, an owner of the restaurant, said plans were in progress and that he hoped to open by late summer. He felt sure the license would be issued but said that the restaurant could be opened without it.
Opponents are basing their appeal on five conditions: That one of the property owners within the two-hundred foot radius of the restaurant was illegally counted in favor of the license; that the signature representing the semi-circular property inside the main Parkview gates was invalid; that the protestors were not allowed to present testimony at the last hearing before Commissioner McLeod; that no record was kept of that hearing; and that the opponents were not allowed access to the Excise Division’s file regarding the license.
Bob Rose, one of the opponents, said he felt that Commissioner McLeod had made so many errors in regard to the laws regulating such procedures that he would appeal the decision as a matter of principle to protect the rights of city residents who might pursue such actions in the future.
Ed Stout, another of the protestors, said he believed the parking lot on McPherson owned by Grace Methodist Church would have to be rezoned from residential to commercial use before patrons of the restaurant could park in the lot. He stated the rezoning would be opposed.
Mr. Stout and Mr. Rose also indicated that the occupancy permits for the restaurant would be opposed.
Mr. Hamilton said that he believed that there is strong neighborhood support for the restaurant and that it would be a positive, good, lively addition to the area. He further stated that the management will always be ready to seek reasonable solutions to real problems that might arise. He said that he and the other owners want a chance to show that they will act in good faith.
The opponents also expressed the belief that they have considerable neighborhood support. They said that the opposition is not directed at the owners but at what the opponents believe will be the negative effects of a restaurant upon the area.
Both sides seem, at this time, to be confident of and firmly committed to their respective positions.
