The application is for a class B+ license with a drive in window, which would include on/off premises sales, seven-day beer and wine (on sale), and six-day beer, wine, and liquor sales (off sale). In case you are curious, for most days on premise sales could happen anytime <u>except</u> between 2am-6am. On December 17, 2007, the Town of Riverdale Park voted to oppose the request. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">Councilman Olson is working with the town and nearby civic associations as well as our state delegation to ensure that the Board of License Commissioners <b><span style="font-weight:bold">oppose</span></b> this application. The Board of License Commissioners rarely opposes an application, so it is essential that the commissioners hear that there is significant opposition from citizens, businesses, and other political leaders. In order to stop this liquor license, we <u>MUST</u> have more than 20 people committed to attending the hearing. Lucky for us, the hearing is scheduled right in our backyard! The hearing date is February 26, 2007 at 10am at <st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">6200 Baltimore Avenue</st1:address></st1:street>, 3<sup>rd</sup> Floor. It our office’s experience that petitions and letters in advance of the hearing are important, but having people turn out and testify is absolutely essential. Please contact Wanda Brooks or I, if you are interested in testifying or will be able to come to the hearing. We can be reached at 301-952-3060 or at <a href="mailto:wjbrooks@co.pg.md.us">wjbrooks@co.pg.md.us</a> or <a href="mailto:dmglaros@co.pg.md.us">dmglaros@co.pg.md.us</a>. We will likely be holding a mini-planning meeting in advance of the hearing, so stay tuned for the date and time. We are also collecting information and stats which could be used in testimony and I know from speaking with Pat Prangley that the Riverdale Park Police will be providing stats as well. I have attached a copy of the town’s letter just in case you were not at the town’s Special Legislative Meeting when this case was discussed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">On a personal note, I have seen a few liquor license applications in the county, but this application is the most troubling application that I have seen. While it may be great to have a nice restaurant that sells alcohol on this site during certain hours, a drive in window and off premise sales are, I believe, completely inappropriate for this location. The use would only add to the troubles our community faces on <st1:place w:st="on">Kenilworth</st1:place>—crime, public drinking, loitering, and traffic congestion—and would do nothing to enhance and revitalize the corridor. We have numerous locations in the area where people can already purchase alcohol. I hope each of you will become actively involved in this issue. Your support is needed!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">Best wishes,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">Dannielle<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoAutoSig"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt">Dannielle M.
