OAC RE-PLANNING MEETING 4/21/05 and more

Everyone in town received an invitation to the Planning Meeting due to the controversial topic of the OAC. That meeting is on the next agenda.. EVERYONE should show up. Don't let the City Manager and City Management think we don't care. For or Against the project, show up, get informed.


Previously the Grand Terrace Market was denied a hard liquor license because "there is enough liquor licenses in town". Well, now that the statement has been made do we as a community want to add to the plague of drunk drivers who gas up at gas stations and pick up their brew and wine too. This is not a good combination, and it should not be extended to new businesses in this community. Lets this community say in our business practices driving and drinking don't mix. The agenda item indicating that this is a planed point of distribution of alcohol is below. Remember Savon's is going to request to sell beer, wine and hard liquor in addition to their operations. Remember the Council previously denied a pre-existing business which is not on the main drag through town the right to sell hard liquor. We don't need people filling their tank and getting tanked and then driving in our town or on the freeway. How about a Just Say No policy to gas stations selling beer, wine and or hard liquor.
