Discussion of Issues regarding Gasthaus Zur Linde, Inc. d/b/a Gasthaus at 13-15 North Grove Avenue, Including Compliance with Applicable Liquor License Regulations and Discussion of Licensee's Request for Reconsideration of the Denial of an Exterior Sales Permit Corporation Counsel Cogley provided an overview of the issues regarding Gasthaus Zur Linde at 13-15 North Grove Avenue. The primary areas of concern were the licensee not meeting the Class U requirement of the regular service of meals and the number of police calls to the establishment from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. Mr. Cogley outlined potential remedies including changing the class of liquor license; changing the hours of operation; changing the requirement of food sales to 50%; and requiring a minimum number of dining areas to be maintained. In a communication to the Legal Department, the Gasthaus Zur Linde asked for reconsideration of the denial of the exterior sales permit application. Corporation Counsel revisited the issues that determined the denial including, the location in the street, the lack of food service, and the previously granted exterior sales permit operated outside the designated hours of operation. Mr. Cogley addressed retaliation allegations against the Gasthaus Zur Linde for filing litigation against the city and that being the cause of the liquor commission actions. He stated that was not the case and the actions were based on the Gasthaus Zur Linde not operating within the Class U requirements and the number of police calls to the location. Commissioners expressed their concerns over the number of police calls, the licensee continuing to operate outside of Class U liquor license requirements and the exterior sales permit. Charles Muscarello, attorney for the Gasthaus Zur Linde, addressed the commission regarding their concerns. He noted the licensee's work with the Police Department to decrease the number of police calls including increasing security and implementing a dress code. He stated that his client would be open to changing to a Class A license but with the 3:00 a.m. closing time and asked that the commission reconsider the exterior sales permit as it had been approved in the past. Due to the time the commission determined to continue the discussion at the next meeting on August 12, 2015.
