Minutes of May 15, 1967
8. During the course of the public hearing the ~pplicant submitted petitions
accompanied by affidavits of circulators, bearing the signatures of 1943 persons
who either lived within, or were employed within, a 6 block area surrounding the
proposed location. In addition to this petition, protestants placed before Council,
unaccompanied by an affidavit of a circulator, purporting to contain 608 signatures.
Noone, however, was able to testify from personal knowledge as to the witnessing
of the signatures being placed upon these latter petitions. While Council has
considered all the petitions and remonstrances submitted, it has given less
weight to those petitions which do not bear a circulator's affidavit, than it
has to those petitions accompanied by such an affidavit.
9. Several persons testified in ppposition to the application. However,
with only few exceptions, persons appearing -to oppose the application were
those persons who stated that they were totally opposed to the use of alcohol.
While these persons, of course,· are entitled to entertain their personal belief,
public policy of the State of Colorado favors the is•uance of licenses for the
sale of alcohol where the local licensing authority determines, based upon the
statutory criteria, that such a license should issue.
10. It is the conclu sion of Council that this license should be approved and,
amonq the reasons for this decision are the following:
a. The applicant herein has established beyonc dispute that he
is morally, professionally and financially qualified to carry
on the business which he intends bo carry on at this location.
b. While there are several outlets in the area, there are no
outlets which could be considered to exist within the immediate
area of the proposed location and Council is of the opinion that
the reasonable needs of the neighborhood require the issuance of
this license.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, based upon the above fin c~ings and reasons, said
application should be, and is hereby, approved.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, should the State licensing authority approve
said application, no license shall issue until the building in which the business
is to be conducted is ready for occupancy, with such furniture, fixtures, and
equipnent in place as is necessary to canply with the provisions of Chapter 75,
Article 2, Colorado Revised Statutes 1963 and then only after inspection of the
premises has been made by a representative of this Council to determine that the
applicant has complied with the architects drawings and plans and specifications
submitted with the application.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk-Treasurer is hereby authorized
and directed to se~d 'by certified ·mail to the applicant at the address shown in
the application, a copy of this .Resolution, pursuant to the provisions of
1963 C.R.S. 75-2-42 (3), which shall be deemed to be the decision of the local
licensing authority. ·

RESOLUTION NO. 20, SERIES OF 1967
A RESOLUTION APPROVING APPLICATION OF ANDRI NAGY FOR A HOTEL AND RESTAURANT LIQUOR
t,,ICENSE TO BE LOCATED AT 3370 SOUTH ACOMA STREET, ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO.
WHEREAS, Andri Nagy has heretofore applied to the City Council of the City of
Englewood, as the local licensing authority, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter
75 Article 2, Colorado Revised Statutes 1963, for the issuance of a hotel and
restaurant liquor license to be located at 3370 South Acoma Street, Englewood,
Colorado, and,
WHEREAS, Council has held a public hearing on said application and has duly
considered the same,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD
that there are hereby adopted the following findings and conclusions, which
findings and conclusions shall be deemed to be the reasons in writing for the
decision of the local licensing authority herein contained, as required by the
provisions of 1963 C.R.S. 75-2-42 (3):
1. The application for said license is in proper form, is accompanied the
appropriate fee and all procedural requirements of Chapter 75 Article 2 Colorado
Revised Statutes 1963, including, without limitation posting of public notice
and appropriate public hearing, have been complied with.
2. There has not been a denial of any application for the same location
within the two (2) years next preceding the date of this application.
3. The applicant has executed a lease which will entitle him to the possession
of the premises for which the application has been made, upon apprc7al of his
application.
4. The sale of liquor as contemplated in the application is not prohibited
by the zoning laws of the City of Englewood.
5. The location of the premises at the above address is not within 500 feet
of any public or parochial school or the principal campus of any college or
university or seminary.
6. Based upon the prior investigation of the Englewood Police Department, as
well as _the evidence adduced at the time of the hearing, the ._applicant .Possesses
good moral character and is fully qualified, both morally and f~nanci~lly, to con-
duct the type of business for which the application has been ~ade. '·
7. The application herein is for a "new" license, within the meaning of
1963 C.R.S. 75-2-38 and the criteria for the issuance of the saine is governed by
the provisions of 1963 C.R.S. 75-2-42 rather than the provisions of 1963 C.R.S.
75-2-9 (2).
8. At the time of 'the public hearing the applicant presente d petitions,
accompanied by an affidavit fran the circulator thereof, which contained a total
of 627 signatures of persons favoring the issuance of the application. Of these
627 signatures, 414 thereof were the signatures of persons living in the area,
the remaining 213 being signatures of per~ons who were employed, but did not reside,
in the neighborhood. One group of protestants, represented principally by persons
presently holding hotel and restaurant and liquor licenses within or near the area,
presented petitions containing 460 signatures together with an affidavit of the
circulator. Another person appearing in opposition to the issuance of the license
presented petitions purportedly bearing the signatures of 427 persons living
within a 6 block area of the proposed location. These petitions, however, did not
bear a circulator's affidavit, nor could the person testify of his own personal
knowledge of the validity of each of these signatures, since he was not present
when all of the signatures were placed on these petitions. Cou~il, has, never-
theless, given consideration to all of the said petitions, although it has given
less we ight to the petitions unaccompanied by an affidavit of a circulator, than
it has to the other affidavits.
9. Council concludes, based upon the facts and evidence adduced as a result
of the police investigation as well as the other facts and information presented
at the public hearing that approval should be given to this .application for several
reasons, including:

Minutes of May 15, 1967
a. The location of the license would be in the downtown area. Thus,
the "needs of the neighborhood" may be considerably different than
the needs of a neighborhood of a location some distance away from
the downtown area. The needs of the neighborhood consist of not only
the needs of the persons residing near this area or of p~rsons
employed in this area, but it also consists of needs of those persons
who come into the neighborhood for shopping purposes.
b. While it is undisputed that there are several other hotel and
restaurant liquor outlets within a 6 block area, nevertheless, the
testimony of the applicant in this case that the facility which he
plans on utilizing is substantially different from the types of
facilities utilized by the pre~ent outlets stands undisputed •. Based
upon the petitions presented by the applicant (even though they may
be outnumbered by protestant's petitions), together with the testi-
mony received at the public hearing, it is the conclusion of Council
that an outlet of this type is needed in the downtown neighborhood.
c. It is unquestioned and undisputed by anyone that the applicant
is highly qualified, both morally, professionally and financially to
c~nauct the "type of business proposed", as required by the provisions
of the 1963 C.R.S. 75-2-42(2).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That, based upon the findings, conclusions, and
reasons, said application should be, and is hereby, approved.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, pursuant to the provisions of 1963 C.R.S.
75-2-42 (3) a copy of this Resolution,which shall be deemed to be the de-
cision of the local licensing authority, shall be sent by the City Clerk
by certified mail to the applicant at the address shown in the application.

Councilman Kreiling stated that he had submitted a letter to members of the

"TO: The City Council
FROM: John c. Kreiling
In analyzing Section 75-2-42 of the Colorado Liquor Code CRS 1963 as amended
July 1, 1966, one must first make a determination of the needs of the neighbor-
hood, then consider any other qualifications of the applicant in this the Nagy
hearing, the violin playing, and the foreign food menu.
My opinion as to why the license should not be granted is as follows: The City
council has denied three licenses within two blocks of this site:
Steak House
Bowling 1Alley
Lacosta
There are seven outlets within two blocks:

The public demonstrations are the petitions' signatures of 627, of which 413
were considered from the neighborhood and favored the license. In disfavor of
the license were 887 signatures, certainly something to be evaluated as to the
desires of the neighborhood.
In attendance were 23 favoring the license. Only eleven of these people live
in Englewood, while 8 disfavoring the license were present. This is marginal
58 per cent vs 42 per cent.
One of the Councilmen brought up the Denver Manager of Safety prc0cedures in
their downtown area. We cannot compare or follow the procedures of others
because there is no similarity in area or the makeup of the licensing body.
As you may recall, there have been two transfers of license ownership in the
two-block area subsequent to January 1, 1967, both because of very marginal
business. It is very possible that, if Mr. Nagy must have an H&R License to
operate a restaurant, the Corder license might be pu:ri.chased. There is no
doubt the man is a master at the violin, and the foreign foods will be salu-
brious. However, there are good restaurants that do not serve liquor, and
there will be more in the Shopping Center.
As the negatives outweigh the positives, may I reiterate ! favor a denial of
the application and so shall' vote accordingly.
John c. Kreiling"
Mr. Kr ei ling summarized his letter by stating that there are seven outlets
for liquor within a three-block area and within a six-block area, there are five
more. He stated that it is his opinion that the negative factors outweight the
positive and that the license application of Mr. Nagy, dba Golden Fiddle, should
not be granted.
councilman Hanson stated that he agreed with Councilman Kreiling.
Councilman Rice stated that he did not believe the _ Counci.l can . or » should ..
legislate against competition. Discussion ensued.
Upon the call of the roll on Councilman Fullerton's motion that Resolution
No. 20, Series of 1967, be approved, the vote resulted as follows:
Ayes: Councilmen Rice, Parkinson, Ludwig, Fullerton, Allen
Nays: councilmen Kreiling, Hanson
Absent: None
The Mayor declared the motion carried.
City Attorney Criswell stated, contrary to the agenda, that he did not have
a resolution regarding relocation payments in connection with the Dartmouth Park
site for Council's consideration at this time.
