21, 1974, on the unanimously carried (5-0) motion of Council-
man Yamamoto, seconded by Councilman Griset:
MACKEY, Wendell R., 3601 W. First Street~
Person to Person Transfer - Type "40" On
Sale Beer. PROTEST (Police.)
Prior to the vote, Wendell R. Mackey, the Applicant~ spoke in
his own behalf. He stated that he had not made any untruthful
statements in his application; that Council should consider
only those offenses for which he had been found guilty, and
which had been listed in his application.
Jim Callahan, 14771 Candida Place, Tustin, owner of the "Orbit
Inn", objected to any protest based on the location of the
bar. He stated that two other bars in the vicinity had
recently sold and neither was protested; that there had been
no recent Police activity at the Orbit Inn; and that Council's
action would in effect prohibit his sale of the bar.
The City Attorney replied that
is generally not sufficient to
the high concentration of bars
be persuasive, but as a factor
a protest based on location only
be upheld by the ABC Board; that
in the area probably would not
it could be decisive.
Mayor Patterson voiced the opinion that, putting aside any
question of applicant's truthfulness and the concentration of
bars in the area, recent criminal conduct of the applicant
constitutes basis for protest. (CA 146)
