poke neighborhood, we have had a conversation about whether there ought to be some cap on future liquor licenses as i discussed with the lower poke neighbors just last week or two weeks ago, my office is preparing legislation to consider an alcoholic reduced risk, i look to bringing that legislation forward hopefully in the next few weeks, with regards to item number 1, this involves a site that my office and the neighborhoods that are represented here have been working on for a number of years. at this site at california and hyde, there existed a cal food supermarket, they decided to pull out of that area and all of us were troubled at the idea that that very dense set of neighborhoods, really the intersection of middle poke, lower poke and nob hill would be left without a supermarket, so it would be to bring a trader joe's along with a cvs along to that site, it has unanimous support of what we want to see happen there, now cvs wanted a liquor license nr the neighborhood and this is a part of my district that has a significant number of liquor licenses and i want to thank the neighbor

going to give walgreens a hassle about has -- tobacco, then we should treat cvs the same about the liquor. it's kind of like saying, you know, that's the way it is, but then, i'm a firm believer of seeing the evidence just like a judge does. thank you. >> mr. nulty? >> i'd like to pass this in. my name is michael nulty, i'm the executive director for better alliance 6, we'd like to request a continuance on this item. we would like to acquire proof purchase of 1021 polk street off-sale liquor license as well as the 1541 polk street type 21 liquor license, we'd like to see that it's been transferred, then the community will be satisfied that cvs is acting in good faith, we're not clear on the relationship between the gar field beach cvsllc which is the liquor license owner that's been talked about and then we are also not clear about how a surrendered license purchase helps the polk street corridor when the license is no longer actively a nuisance in that area, so we have a lot of concern about this and then again as of today on the abc website, i want to reiterate that -- the overhead, at

learn that the gold dust lounge hopes and plans to be moving to the fisherman's wharf area, this is a liquor license related to that, i know there was significant outreach to the fisherman's wharf area to make sure folks would understand the kind of neighborhood business that the gold dust lounge has been and with that, this is a liquor license transfer that i support and i just want to mention because the comment had been made before, this would be moving this specific liquor license really away from the district 6 area which is where i know some of the activists here have had issues with and moving it along the waterfront on to jefferson street. er >> thank you, president chu, does the project sponsor have any comments before we move to public comment? please come forward if you do. >> good morning, supervisors, [inaudible] i think president chu has covered all the points except for one item that i want to cover as part of our due diligence for outreach, and this is nick bovis, the proprietor of the business, we did have an ongoing dialog with the upstairs commercial tenants would was comp

later as off-sale wine, liquor. on-sale -- retail wine tasting and wine sales inside on the second floor. these licenses would replace that license. i think it would have less impact on sale. alcohol has a less impact on the public than off-sale does. this license will be sold out of the area. we've looked at the conditions. we are fine with the conditions. with one proviso. mr. sirhed is concerned that -- he is going to be getting a lot of local tourists out of the hotels. they may be on different time zones, they may be up early. he would request that the hours go to what the abc allows, which is 6 a.m. and probably is never going to use it accept for world cup and certain items, but world cup, if you have ever been at 6:00 or 7:00 at a bar showing the world cup, it is quite a popular thing to do. mr. sirhed is going to keep the price points low, like the other bar. we want to be great value. he is, unfortunately, one of the last people standing. our union square has become all national chains. owned and money goi

. >> neighbors of a bar take their complaints to the liquor board. the back and forth that allows it to keep its license. >>> a few showers tonight. will we see bigger rain tomorrow? i have the answer. >> close doesn't count in baseball. the orioles drop game one to the rays. the story coming up. >> this basically said someone had referred her to be a participant in a pageant. >>> a letter in the mail. the first part of a beauty pageant scam. abc2news at 11:00. >>> tee bee's keeping its liquor license in place. >> today they had a fine and stern warning. what next for neighbors. >> reporter: they are not stopping with the liquor board. we learned at least one homeowner will petition the leasing company to get the business shut down. the owner of tee bee's took the stand to say he upgraded security. >> my concern, then, is for stray bullets. >> reporter: sue level came to the liquor board hearing pointing to problems like this. a bullet hole in a home. the riffraff starts at tee bee's place. >> when all the violence goes on outside, semi-automatic wea

debra bakeir owns the liquor store. she wasn't there, but two employees and a customer were. >> they took the three of them into the back hallway here and set them on the floor and requesting where was the safe, where's the money? >> reporter: the owner says before the robbers could get anything another customer came in looking for the workers. the suspect ran out the backdoor. >> they had a gun. none of my employees were hurt. we didn't lose anything. so we're extremely lucky in that. >> reporter: that wasn't the case at country place liquors, a little more than a week after portside was robbed the store held up at gunpoint, too. an employee who was alone says he was tied up and forced into a freezer while the robbers took cash, lottery tickets and liquor. charles county police believe the suspects are the same and that a woman caught on camera is involved. >> this female was connected to those lottery tickets in that she tried to cash one of them. we got surveillance footage of her doing that. she's been linked to one

member of the tenant's association coalition which has written a letter of support for the type 48 liquor license at 165 jefferson, the gold dust lounge at fisherman's wharf, we believe the tenant's association coalition supports gold dust lounge at fisherman's what f, requests for resolution for public convenience or necessity. the representatives that had come to one of our meetings and told them about their proposed plan and so we are quite aware of that, we're also very sympathetic about the [inaudible] of specific businesses, there aren't that many left, they're mostly large retailers and we like to see small businesses thrive in our downtown area to clean the business corridors, and so it's very important to see that businesses stay, particularly small businesses because they provide more to the economy than these large corporations like cvs, thank you. >> any other members of the public wish to comment? come on up. >> pardon me for being late, there was a two hour commute from nevado, my name is antoine, i'm one of the owners of 165 jefferson, in 1934, my father bought the property

we oppose the extension of hours for liquor establishmentos polk street. with that being said this hearing is not about how nice the bar is, how nice the owners are, or who comes up here and talks. it's about a establishment that has been running seven years disregarding the conditional use. they were supposed to be i wine store with tasting. they have been operating as a bar for seven years. if they get this conditional use why would any business in san francisco adhere to the conditions? they would ignore them and get rewarded for ignoring them seven years later. even the wording, the legalization, implies it's ln illegal for seven years. i urge you not to pass it. make the conditional use process mean something in this city. thank you. >> >> i am david and i have known william for for three years and i am a small businessman myself owning retail stores and in my opinion a conditional use permit allows exactly for what is going on there. if you're allowed to buy a bottle of wine or taste it before you purchase it that's exactly what is going on there. it

the east pines liquor store here on riverdale road in riverdale, maryland. in the video you can see the men pretty clearly wearing dark clothing and ball caps as they confront the two store employees working that morning. one of the robbers would pull out a gun and demand to be let inside the office. we visited the store this evening. one of the victims told us off camera he told the robbers he didn't have a key. so they bound his and his co- workers wrist with plastic zip ties and made them get on the floor. prince george's county police say they believe the same two men robbed at least two other liquor stores last month, one in suitland and this place on september 4th. it's david's liquors in the lan dove hills shopping center on annapolis road in -- landover hills shopping center on annapolis road in landover. those robberies were both in the morning around 9:30, in all three crimes the gunmen striking as the businesses were opening. back now to east pines where the victim we spoke to says despite being threatened with the gun he and his co-worker were no

you have what i guess was a retail establishment accessory liquor sales. that is beer and wine sales and now we're saying we're moving it to a category of bar -- >> well, it was approved to be bar and retail store and accessory of tasting but the motion recognizes that what they're asking for is a bar. that the cu that had to be granted under the planning code was the same as for a bar, but all through the motion the findings discussed the fact it's not a bar. it's a tasting room. that the commission is doing this exceptional granting of a permit for a bar because that's the only mechanism to allow tastings within the abc -- excuse me, the alcohol beverage commissioner's licensing scheme. the conditions of approval state that it's for tastings only, but that was the idea. it would be basically a retail wine shop. you could go in and saw a bottle of wine and liked it and have a tasting or occasional tasting event and someone would come in and display wines for tasting but not drink glass after glass of the same bottle of wines what they didn't want to get i

we can tell you the violence started in the parking lot of this liquor store. officers found two men shot and one man died and the scene, another man was transported to hyland. police got a call at 73rd and weld. she and her teenage daughter just happened to be driving down during the shootout and the 14-year-old was shot in the leg. she drove to the closest intersection she felt safe and the teen is expected to be okay. then around 10:20 more than an hour after, they got a call to brook dale. the woman was not shot in her home and police are wondering why she waited so long to call for help. we have a call to oakland police to get more information about the shooting and we are looking into who the suspects or suspect is in the shooting. >>> another man was killed at a shooting at a different liquor store. this happened 1020 and witnesses said that man was shot several times as he walked out of that store. he waited for him then started shooting. >>> clean uppers went off the tracks. investigators are out there trying to figure out whether it was driver error o

and like he mentioned, he gave up two liquor licenses, liquor store license and an off-sale wine-tasting license and now he just has a bar license, which since we lost the gold dust bar, he will just get that one. >> okay. >> i think it will work out well. >> good. any questions from the commission? okay. seeing none, is there any public comment on this application? welcome. >> mr. chair, commissioners, my name is mark and i have an office in the flood building. i know this neighbor pretty well and 20 or 30 years ago i remember there were three or four watering holes and now there are seven, eight, ten over the last years. i had a little bit to do with the abc licensing on this one and what shocked me when he first told me there is nothing, but formula retail on that part of powell and i didn't believe it. i went down and checked it up and the gold dust was the last other than sam's place. sam is a very successful investor. he has a lot of real property and he has a restaurant in the castro and in a restaurant in the haight and i think some fact that some san franciscans will step up to

it's misleading and on the 2005 it says -- like i said defined as liquor store and bar and go through it more and talks about in november of 1986 and the zoning nearestor issued an interpretation and wine tasting room as part of a retail establishment is treated like a bar and that is number six -- >> thank you. yeah. that is informative because we have gone through some changes and that's all i need from you but thanks, where we have recategorized the restaurant, bar, limited restaurant. these were the categories before we had many categories as worked to alcohol consumption and centered on those three but before we had a lot of different categories of types of food for service and some included alcohol sales and some didn't. maybe i could talk to someone representing the neighborhood groups. what would take for your support? would it be if we closed the is the windows here. what is the real problem? and what they have been doing for seven years and now we believe it is the permit and they're doing the right thing. ms. chapman did you want to comment -- >> [inaudible] >> we met octob

. >> he's going to the liquor store. >> reporter: and he'd stop at this liquor store. not just once. >> he's getting in the car. >> reporter: but again and again. the clerk even knew what he wanted. he'd get two small bottles of liquor, sometimes stuffing them in his pocket. we'd also see baker using the truck to go shopping at coles, home depot, costco. even buying a case of wine, on two occasions. all the time using the rented truck and gas paid for by taxpayers. >> mr. baker, i'm with cbs 5 news. why are you buying wine on state time, sir? this is a car rented by caltrans. you're using it as your personal car. you take it home every day. taxpayer money that goes toward renting this car. >> i'm sorry. i've got no more comments. >> you didn't say anything, sir, not just in "any more" comments. is this good use of taxpayer money, sir? >> reporter: with that he drove away, empty-handed. >> mr. baker, you left your wine over here, sir. mr. baker, you left your 12 bottles of wine. >> reporter: we returned the wine. an hour later, we found his rented caltrans truck returne

there are no liquor licenses to purchase. i have strong connections with the liquor licenses on line and some of these people. i am sorry that the top of the list. i have 48 license requests that i cannot fail. i have a two-star michelin restaurant that is moving from downtown out into the mission that the only thing i can do is throw a quick 41 on the place because we can -- because i cannot find a 47 or 848 to do it. i would like you -- or a 48 to do it. i would like to think about some injured county transfers. -- enter-county transfers. there are a lot of restaurants that have a million dollar construction costs and cannot find a license and are freaking out. licensing has gone to about 128,000 this month. we assume they will surely go to 150,000 and probably more. we need some more liquor licenses. >> to that, in part, i would say that is a structural problem, and largely driven by our statutes. this governor is very pro- expansion of business. and in favor of things that make this city and state great. there is mileage

but i am extremely supportive not just of the liquor license transfer, but of making sure we all work together to make the eagle a success. >> supervisor campos. >> thank you very much, mr. president. i do want to thank -- echo the comments of my colleagues, supervisors kim and wiener. and also take the time to thank mike and alex, once again, for the investment that they're making and the commitment they're making to this institution. ultimately the successor failure of this business will depend largely on the level of involvement by the community. and, so, it is our hope that the entire community -- and it's not just the lgbt community because it is an institution that has welcomed everyone -- will take the time to visit the eagle and do whatever we can to make sure this institution is successful. i think it presents an opportunity to be given a new face, a new chapter, if you will, in the history of the eagle and i'm excited about what will be witnessed. thank you. >> supervisor olague. >> i just want to thank you for your efforts and your sacrifices and your investment in this. it

a lot of the places are club areas and stuff like that, and really hard liquor but the poor house is more of a lounging area where people get to lounge and actually talk to each other and have a very relaxed conversation, and i feel that by losing that it would probably lose that kind of vibe in that area, and i don't think that's a good idea. >> thank you. >> commissione
