-2- Mr. V. Johnson preferred to see a change in the zoning ordinance whict would permit the restaurant with live entertainment an(~ dancing as a special use lIDder B- 2 zoning, rather than to rezone the one buil(ling in the shopping center to B-3. Mrs. Demos indicated that she would not vote to recommend approval of live entertai~- ment for this establishment. She indicated that there was too wide a variety of entertainment available. Hr. Nelson indicated that the only entertainment would be dinner music and dancing by the custaner. ~1r. Drews stated that the membership will be by application only. Mr. Drews indicated that the restaurant would serve noon lunches and be open on Saturdays. Mrs. Demos indicated that she certainly accepted what the applicant said in good faith. However, she objected to the disparity in the fees for the on-sale liquor license which costs $10,000 and is held by five restaurants in. the Village as compared to the minimal cost of the club liquor license. She felt it would be unfair to permit liquor to be sold in this proposed club when the other restaurants were paying $10, 000 a year for the right to do so. RecoImnendation Mr. V. Johnson moved and Mr. Membrez seconded, that the Commission recommend denial of the LaRose Corporation request for rezoning from B-2 to B-3 at 1744 North Lexington Avenue. The COImnission also recoIIIDends that the Village zoning ordinance be amended as follows: "restaurants, including live entertainment and dancing" should be adceri as a use by special permit in B-2 zoning districts, and further recommends tr~t if the proposed ordinance amendment is approved, that the LaRose Corporation be granted a special use permit to operate a restaurant with live entertainment and dancing in the B- 2 zoning district.
