ADOPTION OF MINUTES

The Committee agreed to vary the order of the agenda. The minutes have been recorded in numerical order for ease of reference.

RECOMMENDATION

1. 1601 West Georgia Street - Walt Stipic File: 2617-3

Clause No. 1 (cont'd)

· the site was purchased from Aoki Corporation (owner of the Westin Bayshore) and the applicant will work closely with the Westin Bayshore; the pub will be an amenity for hotel guests and noise concerns have been resolved
· the actual dock space covers 3,800 sq. ft. The pub is planned to be 7 metres high and 5,500 sq. ft. (pub on the ground level and 65-seat restaurant on the second level)
· the applicant will comply with any new LCLB regulations

· Police Services noted that concern still exists regarding potential noise levels due to the proximity of the pub to the residential tower; however, the applicant and Westin Bayshore foresee no difficulties
· concern was expressed that use of Class "F" for this project may be a method of circumventing restrictions imposed under a "D" license . Class "F" regulates marine pubs situated in remote locations, while Class "D" regulates neighbourhood pubs. Proximity regulations and public process differ for each and as marine pubs are increasingly in core urban areas, Class "F" regulations may not be appropriate for all marine pubs
· obtaining public opinion is difficult in this area as there are very few residents nearby

RECOMMENDED

Clause No. 1 (cont'd)

2. Provincial Liquor Policy Review File: 2611

Clause No. 2 (cont'd)

RECOMMENDED

- CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

3. Commodore Ballroom File: 2614-6

RECOMMENDED

The Commission adjourned at 8:50 p.m.
