MANAGER'S REPORT:
NEW Restaurant/Eating Place License #5279
Russian Alaska, LLC d/b/a Samovars
Location: 245 Marine Way, Juneau Alaska Statutes – Title 4 govern the issuance of liquor licenses and there are population limitations as to the number of licenses of certain types allowed to be issued within each municipality. For this Restaurant Eating Place (REP) type of license, there is 1 license per 1500 +1 population allowed. The Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) staff calculates the population figures once a year with the last one done April 29, 2013 showing that Juneau has population base for a total of 22 REP licenses. Juneau currently has 20 Restaurant Eating Place licenses issued. ABC has sent notification of this new REP application and one other that will be coming to the Assembly at its March 17 meeting. If both those applications were approved, Juneau would have its maximum of 22 REP as allowed by our population base at this time. If someone else were to file an REP application within 30 days of the filing of this license application, they would be considered competing licenses and it would be up to the ABC Board to determine which license application to approve. The Finance, Police, Fire, and Community Development Departments have reviewed the above business and found it to be in compliance with CBJ Code.
In the event the Assembly does protest the issuance of this license, CBJ Code 20.25 requires notice, with specificity regarding the nature and basis of the protest, to be sent to the licensee and provides the licensee an opportunity to exercise their right to an informal hearing before the Assembly. |
