Subject:                          FW: ALRC: Logans Madtown 18+ Entertainment

 

 

Dear ALRC Members,

As an update for the Logans applications, I met with the Agent, Adam Mais on Friday 2/11/11 in the afternoon at Logans.

Mr. Mais explained his plans for the restaurant.  He showed me where they are in the process of adding a stage for bands and DJ’s to perform.  He also verbally described the plans for types and frequency of entertainment. 

 

I explained to Mr. Mais my reservations regarding 18+ entertainment licenses in general and the potential problems he and his staff would have enforcing the rules with this license. 

 

In the end, Mr. Mais stated he was going to change his request and ask for a 21+ entertainment license and not the 18+.

If this change is made, I have not objections to the request for a 21+ entertainment license for Logans.

 

If the change is not made, I respectfully request that the committee refer the 18+ license application to a future meeting so that Mr. Mais and I can meet to work on a more detailed plan for this type of license and this establishment.

 

Thank you.

 

 

 

 

Dear ALRC Members,

I have yet to be contacted from this establishment reference this request and there is no contact information listed on the application for the agents.  In reviewing the application, I find it lacking in content in regards to their new business plan in relation to the addition of a 18+ entertainment license.  There is no content on type or frequency of entertainment and the relationship it will play in their current business model. 

 

I have concerns in regards to this establishment, as they have not finished, nor conveyed to the ALRC or Central District any change of plans from their original proposal on the addition of food for late night hours. 

 

As I have conveyed to you at previous meetings regarding the 18+ license,  I have grave concerns on the application of such a license at an establishment that by definition is a restaurant and in particular with a capacity of 495. 

 

I would like to have the opportunity to meet on sight with the applicants and then attend a future ALRC meeting to personally discuss this application.  Unfortunately, I will be out of state on 2/16/2011.  I respectfully request that this application be referred to a future meeting.

 

 

 

The ALRC will consider the attached application for an 18+ Entertainment License at its February 16 meeting.
