A roll call was taken and Board members of the Authority present were Ron Wolfe as Chairperson, and Board members Rich Carroll, Kristi Ferraro, Amy Phillips, Brian Sipes and Tamra Underwood. Dave Dantas was absent. PUBLIC HEARING FOR NEW HOTEL AND RESTAURANT LIQUOR LICENSE a. Applicant: SVO Colorado Management, Inc. d/b/a Sheraton Mountain Vista Manager: Brad Jeffers Location: 160 W. Beaver Creek Blvd. Type: Hotel and Restaurant Liquor License It was noted that that all materials were in order. Town Clerk Patty McKenny noted that the map of the premises would be discussed by the applicant. Jon Stonbraker, Dill Dill, presented the application for SVO Colorado Management, Inc. d/b/a Sheraton Mountain Vista. Susan Duffy Schwall, Liquor Licensing Professional, presented a summary of the petitioning for the liquor licensing of the establishment. She noted the background on how the signatures were obtained, the locations of the petitioners and a review of the petition results. Mr. Stonbraker asked that the original petitions be admitted into the record as evidence. Brad Jeffers, onsite manager, was interviewed by Mr. Stonbraker regarding various topics related to licensing the hotel and operations of the restaurant, such as his hotel/restaurant background, server training for TIPs, the nature of the service for the hotel, etc. Mr. Stonbraker noted that some of the floor plans were not included in the application; he requested that the authority contemplate approving the application with the condition that the town clerk would review the floor plans submitted by his office prior to forwarding the final application to the State. It was noted that the retail location of Charter Sports would not be included in the premises. Board member Underwood noted a couple of concerns about the application as follows: 1. It is a property that operates like a hotel, but the guest is going into private units upstairs with alcohol so she is concerned that the guest is leaving the licensed premises to a privately owned unit. 2. Does not allow for the guest to bring in any alcoholic beverages Mr. Stonbrakers responded to her concerns as follows: 1. The covenants outline that the homeowners authorize the management company to provide for the restaurant and management services for their units, which operate in essence like a hotel. 2. The hotel operators will ask guests to remove any alcoholic beverages if in a visible or open view as that is not allowed for under the license. He noted that this was typically the procedure used in other similar licensed time share complexes. Board member Underwood asked for the declaration that gives the applicant that kind of control over the private property; Mr. Stonbraker noted that he would provide that information along with the revised map of the premises to be reviewed by legal counsel and the clerk. Board member Sipes noted the following concerns for licensing the property: • the outdoor space under the portico should only be license and nothing in front of any retail locations • the pool area should only include the fenced in location with a reasonable corridor to the main entry of the hotel for access • should not include the covered area of the parking garage • should not include any retail on the ground floor of the buildings The applicant agreed that they would be aware of and cautious of not interfering with the passage of pedestrians on the sidewalk; the perimeter would end immediately past tables in front of the restaurant. Board member Phillips asked if this license would allow them to add mini bars to the rooms; staff noted they would follow up with the answer to the question. Some discussion ensued as to how bottles of beer or wine are served, beverages would be always open and given to the customer. Chairman Wolfe opened the public hearing and the following comments were made: • Bethany Johnson, local real estate broker and resident supported the hotel and restaurant liquor license application for Sheraton Mountain Vista. Board member Phillips moved to approve the hotel and restaurant liquor license for SVO Colorado Management, Inc. d/b/a Sheraton Mountain Vista with the following conditions: • Obtain detailed floor by floor map that reflects a wide enough area to access the enclosed pool area • No retail on the 1St floor is licensed other than establishment and public areas of the hotel; does include the other floors • Obtain a copy of the covenants that gives the permission to manage the alcohol for the private residences • Does not include any other outdoor area other than the pool area • With all items to be reviewed by the Town Clerk Board member Underwood seconded the motion and it passed unanimously by those members present (Dantas absent). RENEWAL OF LIQUOR LICENSES a. Applicant: Bob's Place, LLC d/b/a Bob's Place Manager: Robert Doyle Location: 100 W. Beaver Creek Blvd. Type: Hotel and Restaurant Liquor License It was noted that all materials were in order.
