Planning File 736 - LaRose Corporation request for rezoning from B-2 to B-3 at 1744 North Lexington Avenue Presentation Mr. Jim Nelson, Attorney, represented LaRose Corporation. Also present were Mr. Ibn Paster, owner of Lexinvton Plaza Shopping Center and Mr. Jack Drews "rho would manage and operate the proposed private club. Mr. Nelson indicated that the Village ordinances permit restaurants including live entertainment and dancing only in B-3 zoning. The shopping center is presently zoned B-2 and, therefore, the applicant would not be permitted to have live entertainment and dancing on the premises. He stated that the primary use of the facility would 'he as a supper club and not as a bar or lounge. It was his contention that the enter- tainment and dancing was necessary in order for the operation to be successful. The restaurant would be a private club and admittance would be by membership only. It would be geared to a mature clientele and would not become a young peoples club. The restaurant will be an elegant dining establishment. Mr. Nelson stated that a petition had been presented to the Commission which was signed by more than fifty per cent of the property owners within 250 feet of the property in question indicating they did not oppose the rezoningo The bulk of the customers will be at the restaurant during the night hours, therefore, not conflicting with the other tenants in the shopping center, who are more oriented to daytime activities, for parking spaces. It was }1r, Nelson's contention that the parking in the area was more t]1.an sufficient to handle the requirements of the restaurant for both day and night time business. He indicated that the applicant is very anxious to conclude the rezoning of this property since he has certain obligations with his financing and suppliers. Discussion Mr. Drews indicated they hope to have at least 2,500 members in the club when they get in full operation. He stated that the Village presently has no on-sale liquor licenses available, therefore, he is applying for a club liquor license which requires the restaurant to have members.
