r ® s <br />Planner Nearing advised that Page 7 of the ordinance sets <br />the hours of operation for a bottle club from 7:00 A.M. to 1:00 <br />A.M. where a bottle club is located adjacent to a residential <br />zoning district, and we could just eliminate the the language <br />regarding being located adjacent to a residential zoning <br />district. <br />Commissioner Bird did not want to sound like a proponent for <br />Bottle Clubs, but he noted that there is a certain segment of our <br />community, those who work odd hours on different shifts, who do <br />enjoy the hours a bottle club can provide. <br />Commissioner Wheeler felt the problem is that we do have a <br />1:00 A.M. closing hour for bars, and he believed this is simply a <br />way to get around that law. <br />Commissioner Bird did agree they seem to abuse that <br />privilege, but he was just saying that if they were properly run, <br />there would be a certain segment of our community that would <br />enjoy them. However, they have been misused; so, it seems we <br />will have to limit them. <br />Commissioner Wheeler believed that -bars have certain <br />controls through licensing, etc., and he felt bottle clubs should <br />be controlled the same way. <br />Commissioner Bowman objected to the use of the word <br />"cocktails" in the ordinance, and felt it should just refer to <br />"alcoholic beverages." <br />Commissioner Bird commented that right now he felt we have a <br />model county without adult bookstores, so-called adult entertain- <br />ment businesses, etc., and he did not believe we want those kind <br />of things. We are told that by law we can't prohibit them, but <br />he would like to prohibit them as much as we possibly can. <br />Commissioner Eggert advised that the reason she asked this <br />amendment be pursued in the first place is that a realtor told <br />her that there was someone looking for property to put in an <br />adult book store. <br />SEP 20 1988 30 mer 74 P, , E 3J <br />
