for us the liquor license is 1% of our sales floor. it's a convenience that we offer our customers to be able to have a bottle of wine to take home with dinner, to be able to have beer to take home with dinner depending what they're purchasing but we are definitely excited about coming to the neighborhoods. we offer great values and especially for the working class family. >> thank you very much mr. davis. colleagues, any questions of mr. davis. okay. thank you again. why don't we turn it over to the san francisco police department. is it inspector gordon or whoever would like to present. >> good afternoon. i am inspector nelly gordon with the san francisco police department alu division. grocery outlet incorporated asked for a liquor license for 6333 geary. police calls for service from may 2012 to may 2013 are two. there are zero reports for the same time period. this premise is located in plot seven three two. applicant premises is not located in a high crime area. the premises is located in census track 47401. applicant premise is

joe's there was a higher value that was thought to be gotten whether taking around the liquor license when the user was using that space. so for me makes it more questionable >> i have to agree i have one question to mr. kaplan. the twenty-four hours hours is being presented as cvs to operate twenty-four hours a dye day 7 days a week is this to the pharmacy or the store >> it includes the pharmacy but i will add commissioner the request is to remove the restriction for twenty-four hours. the reason being is that cvs believes that once they come into operation there's going on to be a demand for services 24 hours so allowing the twenty-four hours is to give cvs the flexibility but not operate for twenty-four hours but the parcy would be in operation during those hours >> okay. thank you. i don't know isn't they're going to be a pharmacy associated with in a medical office building >> i don't know if that's planned or not. i don't like twenty-four hours whatever the hours for traders jose was fine. so far as the crux we need alcohol in order for cvs to be a participant is bottom line bull give us. cvs is a hug

the new owners. and to ask you to approve conditional use 48 to 47. ; is that right? and i think transferring the liquor license to a restaurant benefits the neighborhood. and families and patrons of all ages are going to be able to come there. and what? let's see. oh, jobs. jobs. because with the kitchen you're going to have more jobs. and i have to tell you it's an amazing kitchen the state of the arc. so thank you for listening to me >> hope you do this because i love that bar. it's been the neighborhood bar for the city and it's the entire city. thank you. thank you >> and thank you for running that establishment for all those years. >> okay. thank you. any additional public comment. okay public comment is closed >> i hope you'll extend our wisdom as this moves into the next generation of management. it's been written in the paper a lot including the negotiations of the give and takes i'm extremely comfortable to support this and i hope the historic california community will support this >> i want to thank you for maintaining a wonderful place and welcoming the owners and i've had many fond memories and i t

not in our wheel house of having to respond to but they were sharing their 41 liquor license and martha was using that. the reason for number 2 is that if and this is to protect as well as to prevent any issues here it goes. number 2 if a sound complaint comes along from the neighbor and the police respond and is okay. what's an agencyable sound level like a 5 on the dial. anticipate the police leave and they get a call from the same neighbor saying the noise is back or disturbing. then we go back and see oh, the noise level has or hat not changed and if it hadn't it's noted and the noise was the same 108 which means anyways it doesn't matter. but if the noise adjustment was lourtd then we say we're done for not necessary. i spoke with them about that specifically and they understood way meant. and number 5 because again of this new l o p goes to the patio space because they have an closed patio space we discuss that to stop at the 9:00 p.m. they've been comfortable with that. lay it on me and a sorry commissioners >> so why do you want the power to stop it immediately and secondly like number 2. >> the po

license. >> that's it? >> that's it. >> that's the only thing you've got? >> that's what he's telling me. >> reporter: later the police told us they found marijuana in the cab and this half-drunk liquorver's seat. but it was the suspended license that got him arrested. meanwhile, joanna ramel had actually managed to get the owner of moving express, moshe garmay, on the phone. the man who was still demanding 4,300 bucks. >> if i really weigh 16,000 pounds like james is adamant that i do, then we'll pay you. if i weigh 8,000 pounds then you already have the money. >> reporter: so we set off to the weight station. we waited with bated breath, what would their stuff weigh? would it be closer to the 8,000-pound original estimate or the 16,000 pounds the family says mr. garmay's guys are claiming? >> it's 10,120 pounds. >> yep. >> they were saying it's 16,000 pounds. it was 10,120. >> reporter: even though their weight was more than the original estimate, j.j.stroh deemed the ramel family did not owe an additional 4,300 bucks. >> i would like to say the righteous are delivered out of trouble and the wicked walk right into it. >> reporter: now our search is on for the alleged mr. big. we de

the use of our resources as they're trained. one note the community is noticing prostitution around the broadway corridor. we want to see our vice and staffing increased. also related to this is the liquor licenses. we have 6 hundred percent more on sell licenses. our corresponding crime is higher butor average we have had more xriem in our area, however, we have not seen an increase of police officers. there's a elementary school and 3 liquor stores within 5 hundred feet of the block. this should be addressed. how much don't the department spend on resources. perhaps this cost could be mitigated by less liquor licenses. our officers should have for impact they're on the front lines and are more aware of specific issues. i would like to understand the impact on the liquor licenses. the relationship between the absence absent and the a l u should be given to the police departments. last i would like to ask the parking lot security ordinance passed by david chiu be endorsed. we have lots where crime persists and we would like to make sure those lots are secure and in compliance. the department should make sure that the lots are secure >> any further public comment. seeing none, public comment is c
