PUBLIC PORTION: Mr. Bianchini opened the public portion. Paul Di Bartola of Ohio Avenue stated that no minutes have been posted since April. He asked about the liquor license resolution that was passed last year for the renewal of the liquor licenses. He questioned the transfer of the Stone Grilles Liquor License as a concerned citizen and candidate for Gloucester Township Council. He stated that he is interested in seeing business in this town. He stated that he had previously eaten at the Tuscan Tavern and does not see a problem with the transfer as there is a large bar in the establishment. Mr. Carlamere explained that at the last council meeting, the council tabled the resolution for denial in order for the applicant to be heard. Dennis Riley of Greenview Terrace, counsel for Tuscan Tavern stated that there has been no objection to this transfer. He stated that he had nothing against the Police Chief or Detective Obermeir. He stated that this is Council s chance to make a decision. He stated that Counsel has tried repeatedly to find out what was missing from the application. Mr. Riley felt that the criteria used was a misinterpretation and that there was nothing found on Mr. Randazzo's background. He stated that at the hearing there was a misunderstanding. Mr. Riley explained the CD and the monies and stated that the applicant has the money to purchase the license. He stated that at the hearing, he asked if anyone had a 3 rd party interest and all swore that they did not. He stated that the only question the detective raised was the financial stability of Mr. Randazzo. He stated that the accountant for the LLC testified and stated that there was no financial instability. Mr. Riley stated that the President of the Laurel Hills Tenants Assoc. testified that if Tuscan Tavern closes, the center will no longer have any anchor building. Mr. Riley stated that everyone would like to see the Tavern remain open. He is urging Council to approve the application. Mr. Lauletto of 13 Berkshire Dr. stated he spoke to the Mayor in mid May. He stated that the Mayor informed him that there were some items missing. He stated that he has never been responded to since then. He stated that the Detective stated that Mr. Lauletto will never get the license out of pocket. Tanya Brown asked if the ordinances on the agenda containing block and lots could also contain the real addresses. Mr. Carlamere stated that there is not an address for the ordinance concerning New Vision as it is a large track of land. She stated that about the licensing issue, she said that Tuscan Tavern could apply for a Special project license instead. She also questioned how the issuing authority was established in Gloucester Township and who the issuing authority was. Mr. Carlamere stated that Council is the issuing authority. He stated that it is the Township s obligation to do a thorough investigation which in Gloucester Township is done by the Police Department. He stated that the Police Department recommended to the Township

2 Council that this transfer not be approved. Mr. Carlamere re-iterated that the meeting held on July 3 rd was an open public forum and not a public hearing. He explained why this meeting was held and why the resolution from the last meeting was tabled until this evening. Ms. Brown asked Council if they consider themselves a governing body under the Alcoholic Beverage statute. Ms. Brown questioned the transfer of the liquor license held by the Stone Grille. Mr. Hutchison questioned Ms. Brown if she had an objection to this transfer. Ms. Brown stated that she did because of the off-tract betting. Joanne Carr asked about ordinances for 1st reading, specifically O She asked what is being built on this property. Mr. Lechner stated that there are 180 townhouses being built. She asked if the Township knows how many kids this will bring into the schools and what their selling price would be. M. Bianchini stated the council worked with the residents of Wye Oak who had concerns of what would be built in this area. Ms. Carr thanked the council for discussing a liaison to the schools at the workshop. Mr. Mercado asked if application for the liquor license is denied, could the applicant resubmit. Mr. Carlamere stated that the applicant can file an appeal with the administrative courts, as for if they could reapply, Mr. Carlamere does not know of any restrictions. Mr. Brown stated that there has been a lot of conversation about the tavern. He stated that the lawyer gave the township all the information and there is nothing left to deny them for. He also stated that in the past the Mayor has stepped in to get something passed and he should do it this at this time. Paul DiBartola of Ohio Avenue again questioned the reason for the denial. He stated that he agrees that the business may close if the transfer is denied. Mr. Carlamere stated that he has reviewed the reports that have come in during the investigative process. The reports showed what the problems were. He stated that everything was spelled out in the investigative report. Mr. Carlamere stated that the hearing was not an evidentiary hearing. He said that it gives the applicant a chance to overcome the rejection. Michael Giletti of 12 Lupis Lane stated that he was a commercial real estate broker. He spoke before three members of council on July 3 rd. He stated that the report the investigator gave to the council is the investigators take on it. He stated that there is nothing illegal and that he has known the Randazzo s for the past 18 years. He stated that the Council should approve this license and go against the Police Chief s recommendation. Frank Lauletto asked if anyone knew what was missing on the application and could they tell him. Mr. Carlamere stated that the main objection was the $25,000 deposit and why Mr. Randazzo does not have to pay the money back. Mr. Carlamere stated that there is no source of funds. Mr. Carlamere stated that this is one of the reasons why it was not recommended in the January report. Mr. Lauletto stated that they were not missing numerous things as the resolution stated. Mr. Carlamere stated that he drafted resolution so as to not put all the statements on the resolution. Mr. Carlamere stated that part of the investigative report stated that the bank gave them the money if certain criteria were met. He stated that the issue has always been the source of the funds. Mr. Carlamere made it clear again that there are no objections from the public. He stated that the issue is coming out is the financial stability and the source of funds. Nick Cavanaugh stated that he has known the Randazzo s for 40 years. He stated that he does not see how a township could let a restaurant go when there is a guaranteed restaurant there. He stated that the shopping center needs the anchor and that Mr.Randazzo has a stellar reputation. He begged the township to pass this. Mr. Carlamere re-iterated that the issue is the liquor license and not the restaurant. Mr. Cavanaugh stated that the restaurant will not survive without a liquor license.
