Dear Members of Cape Girardeau City Council: - . Grace United Methodist Church's Administrative Council in regular session November 14, 1993, requested our Lay Delegate to Annual Conference, Harold Kuehle, represent us at the meeting of the City Council on Monday, November 15, 1993. Mr. Kuehle wi11 be present in response to the request the City Council has received for a liquor license hy the owner of the business, formerly "Backyard Barbecue," at the corner of Broadway and Caruthers. ���}-�����f�� Thank you for notifying us of this application and giving us the opportunity to respond. With you, we are supportive of all that wi11 benefit o�r community. , We do not support the licensing of liquor sales at this location for the following reasons: 1) The intersection is a high traffic corner and is difficult to maneuver at times due to the irregular pattern; heavy congestion could result during peak traffic, particulaxly if extra turn lanes are used. 2) The entrance and exit are dangerous; exits wi11 cross three traffic lanes and may cause traffic accidents. 3) If the business requires an entrance from Broadway, a delayed traffic Zight signal would further hinder the flow of Broadway Street traffic. 4) The business does not have adequate parking for customers. 5) The location is very close to two churches, three schools, and a child care facility. 6) Several establishments which se11 liquor are already on Broadway Street. 7) We foresee a potential problem with their customers cutting through our parking 1ot to avoid the traffic lights both entering and exiting the business and loitering on our parking 1ot afterward. Exhibit B 292 � - In suum�ary, this particular corner, which �s already heavily trav2led and at times congested with young people, could possibZy be one of the most restricted intersections in Ca�e'Girardeau. A business whieh se11s liquor and/or alco�olic �riiiks` should not be � located near schools and churches. Adding a husiness that would � lend itself to persons who would or could be influenced mentally � � and/or physically_by alcohol would not be in the best interest of � the residents of our couanunity. • We appreciate your thoughtful consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Rev. Brnest Swartz Pastor � � �
