Recommendation to the Board of Adiustment Re: Special Exception Request No. 11-04
to Allow a Restaurant to Serve Beer and Wine in the C-1 Zoning District — (6910 N.
Atlantic Avenue) - Vincent E. Keenan, Applicant.
Barry Brown, Planning & Development Director reported that a Special Exception for beer and
wine was granted for this property in early 1990 and remained in effect until it expired on March
30, 2011. Boston Beef and Seafood ceased operations on September 30, 2009, and more than
18 months lapsed before another business serving alcohol applied for a Business Tax Receipt.
The applicant is currently operating a casual restaurant serving hot dogs, hamburgers, etc. and
desires to sell beer and wine as was allowed at this location in the past. The restaurant use is
compatible with surrounding uses and this request is consistent with the past use and
appropriate at this location. Chairperson Russell asked the Board members if they had any
questions regarding the Special Exception worksheet, for the applicant, or staff. A very brief
discussion followed. The Board members wished the applicant much success with his
business.
Motion by Harry Pearson, seconded by John Fredrickson to recommend that the Board of
Adjustment grant Special Exception Request No. 11-04, as requested. Vote on the motion
carried unanimously.
