And then I'll call um well, there she is, Kristen Sager, to provide a briefing on this item. Thank you, Kristen. Good afternoon, Mayor and Council. This is a resolution request to vary the required separation for a property seeking to obtain a TABC license. This is for Pub 55 to locate at 313534th Street. They are within 300 ft of Mrs. O's Daycare at Tech. The permits they are requesting are mixed beverage and mixed beverage late hours. On this property at 3135, the location Pub 55 is requesting to locate in. In 2019, Woody's Brick Oven Pizza and Grill received a variance to the separation requirement for a wine and beer retail dealers permit. Next door at 3131. In 2022, Visos's African Bar and Restaurant received a variance for a mixed beverage wine and beer retailers and retail deal dealers on li on on premise late hours permit at their location. And then in 2022 at 3121, Frost Brew House also received approval for a variance to have a wine and beer retailers and brew pub license on this property. And I'd be pleased to answer any questions. Okay. Do we have any questions? If not, let me entertain a motion. You do have a question. Sorry, Tim. Miss Sager, do we know when the um daycare center was opened? Um I do not, but it was prior to 2019 because all three of these businesses required the separation variance. Thank you. Okay, Councilman Glashing. under the excuse me under the ordinance what is the standard uh for when a variance is uh uh the the elements that need to be met to approve a variance? So the what are the requirements the council has to consider when approving a variance? The the council has wide discretion when looking at these variances. Um, typically you're looking at health, safety, and welfare of the community and especially whether or not the um hospital, church, school, or daycare is in objection to it. We have not received any response from Mrs. O's, they were notified of this of this request. And Mr. Wade, if you have anything to add. Um, I thought that there were some additional considerations like uh hardship or or other elements. Am I wrong about that? So this is a little bit different than a variance that you would get from zoning, right? A variance from zoning. It has specific criteria that it can't be impose a financial hardship. It that it can't be based on a financial hardship. Has to be something unique about the property itself. Can't be self-imposed. This is a variance from a distance requirement. Once you're within that distance of 300 ft and if you want to take the variance from the distance requirement, that's when you have to. So, the same term variance, different criteria for those two different types of things. I see. Thank you. Thank you, Kristen. I have one more question. Do we have any representatives um from the proposed application? Yep. Okay. Wonderful. And can I ask him some questions? Just a real quick question. I just want to know if you communicated with uh Mrs. those or any of the folks in the area. And you can come up to the mic, please. Uh, we typed a letter to Mrs. O. Did you get a response? Uh, we haven't got a response yet. No. Okay. Does anybody have any other questions? If not, thank you. Oh, wait. We haven't sir. I'm sorry. Thank you. Yeah. Uh my other question is and and I'm didn't go by. Are are these three locations uh still in operation? Woody's of course is not because that's where Pep 55 will locate. Visas is Frost I I don't believe they still are. They aren't. Okay. And that's more um hardship related I believe for the others. Okay. If that with that that is I will entertain a motion to approve item 6.1. Can I get a motion? You make a motion. Motion by Councilman Harris. Can I get a second? If not, the motion fails. So um that's it on that. Okay. Well, thank you for everyone for being here. I will now call this meeting adjourned. [Music]
