Co .. unication of June 23rd Relating to Snappy Bar
"June 23, 1960
TO: llr. L. R. Rudd, City Manager,
PROll: Berry B. Billman, Chief of Police,
RB: Disturbances at the Snappy Bar.
Last Sunday evening about 10:00 P.M., Mr. Tom Clark, who was in charge
of the 3:30-11:30 P.M. ahift ~ that d~te,called me at home that "there was a
I

riot at the Snappy Bar, that they had succeeded in getting it quieted and
removed several participants, but that while enroute to the station a re-
port was received that several hundred people bad congregated there and tbe
fitbting bad been resumed." I told Mr. Clark to call any off-duty officers
be needed to control the situation, and, under tbe authority to suppress
all riots, to stop the sale of beer at the outlet for tbe remainder of the
evening, and disperse tbe crowd. I then dressed hurriedly and came to the
station to assume personal command. Lieut. Matthews bad also been called
and be arrived at about the same time that I did.
At llr. Clark's request two cars from the Sheriff's force and one from
the City of Sheridan arrived to assist our officers. 87 the time Mr. llattbews
and I bad arrived at the Snappy Bar the crowd bad gone and the place was in
process of being closed. Two of our officers, Mr. Mason and Mr. Nave, were
assaulted and received minor bruises in the melee.
In retrospect it appears to me that Mr. Clark's diagnosis of "riot"
... Y have been a trifle premature, but there was certainly a general distur-
bance and an incipient riot. The officers reported that the management
was aaking no attempt to control the situation, and even contributed to it
by continuing to serve patrons who appeared to be too drunk, and by making
disparaging reaarka to the officers and trying to get them to "let them
fight it out". At any rate, it is certain that a very bad situation would
have reeulted with the definite possibility of death or serios injuries bad
llr. Clark not acted with dispatch and used effective means.
Respectfully submitted,

Chief of Police"
llr. su ... rs then stated that be personally lived within six blocks of
tbe Snappy Food Grocery and objected to the reissuance as a resident of tbe
area. lie presented a petition in opposition containing 143 names of persons
all living in the im .. diate area. The text of the petition follows:
"Englewood City Council,
Local Liquor Licensing Authority
Englewood, Colorado
Gentle .. n:
We, tbe undersigned citizens of Englewood, Colorado, County of
Arapahoe, State of Colorado, living in the vicinity of 3201 So.
Santa Pe Drive , do hereby petition you and each of you, tbe
liquor licensing authority of Englewood, Colorado, to reject
and refuee to grant a 3.2 beer license to Simon Sierota, to
sell 3.2 beer at 3101 So. Santa Fe Drive, Englewood, Colorado,
under the trade name of Snappy Bar.
We feel there is no need for such sales and that it would be
injurious to the health, peace and safety of the inhabitants of
this coaaunity, and creates a common nuisance."
llr. su ... rs stated that the trailer camp owners and other residents of
the i ... diate area circulated these petitions in opposition to the reissu-
ance of this license. He stated that this represents tbe wishes of tbe re-
sidents im11ediately surrounding the outlet and expresses their opposition
to the outlet and that they wished the source of disturbance to be alleviated.
Be spoke of the owners lack of cooperation with the City officials in refusing
to deteraine the method of sale of 3.2 beer either by the package or by the
drink. Be spoke against the general operation of the outlet and apparent
lack of management of the bar.
llr. Louis P. Pell, Jr., Attorney for Mr. Sierota, identified himself
and asked to direct questions to Mr. Summers. The llayor requested that any
such questions be held until tbe completion of the presentation by those in
opposition.
Mr. Bpy Garside, owner of the Roundup Motel, 3~05 South Santa Fe Drive,
spoke in opposition to the reissuance of this license. He stated that bis
trailer court was immediately south of the Snappy Food llarket. He emphasized
l bat if this outlet were properly conducted and run in a manner as it should
be, that be would have no opposition to the renewal request. He gave examples
of other liquor Gutlets in Englewood which, being properly run, offered no
disturbance of a nature that bas occurred at Snappy Food Market.
Mr. Garside then spoke of tbe regular occurrence of customers of the
Sna p py Food Market having stepped outside of the bar and urinated against
the bar building or in the immediate vicinity. He stated that bis motel
and trailer court bas occupants within 30 to 40 ft. of the Snappy Food Market
and this behavior is, therefore, in particularly bad ta•te,
149
50
Minutes of July 18, lY60
He expressed the opinion that the Snappy Food Market and Bar must be
open later than some other outlets in the area as many customers appear
rather late at night, apparently after the other outlets have closed to
continue their drinking at the Snappy Bar. He expressed the opinion that
it is under these conditions that the disturbances arise. He noted that this
occurred eapecially on Sunday when many of the normal outlets are closed.
Be stated that under these conditions there is insufficient parking avail-
able and tbe customers park across the driveway into bis motel blocking
that driveway and cutting off access to the motel area. He stated that
when custo11ers are approacudo ~o move their cars, they are disgruntled and
often abusive.
He also related an occasion where after a tight at the Snappy Food
Market a man was walking in among the trailers. This was reported to Mr.
Garside. The man who was apparently beaten up from the fight apparently
did not know where be was and an ambulance was called to provide medical
attention. Be expressed the opinion that these occurrences are not part
of tbe noraal operation of any liquor outlet and that a particular element
is being attracted by the lax management of this outlet leading to this
and other incidents of violence. He summarized that for tbe above reasons
be opposed tbe reissuance of this license to Mr. Sierota.
llr. Oatman, 1074 West Dartmouth Avenue, operator of the Stop and Stay
Trailer Court, stated that be was with three-quarters of a block of the
Snappy Food Market. He expressed the opinion that the bar was not needed.
He stated that there did not seem to be any problems with the package phase
operation and would not object to the continuance of the sale of 3.2 by the
package at the location.
Mr. Ron Moore, 3141 South Santa Fe Drive, expressed the opinion that
tbe sale of 3.2 beer by the package was being properly handled. He did
express objection though to the 3.2 bar. He stated that be was experienc-
iga difficulty with customers of the Snappy Food Market Bar parking in
bis drivewas eapecially on Sunday evenings and nights: He related also
occasions where customers stepped outside within a few feet of trailers
or apart11ents and urinated. He stated that occasionally be had spoken
to these men in the act and received abusive comments and apparently com-
lete lack of cooperation or modesty on their part.
He stated that occasiona11y he has called the police to control a
fight which bas started under one of the court lights which illuminate the
driveway entrance into the court.
llr , llax Mlliot, 3~05 South Santa Fe Drive, stated that be was the
gentleaan who bad called llr. Garside to investig~te the man wandering in
amongst the trailers. He stated that the man bad bumped against bis
trailer, bad gotten sick and made a considerable mess on the trailer.
lie stated that even after tbe police bad been called and taken the sick
aan away, several men from the bar bad come to investigate and one bad
urinated right at llr. Elliot's trailer site. He stated that this was not
particularly an uncommon occurrence in that area. He s&a•ed that be wished
to go DD record that the sale of beer by the package seemed to be O.K., but
tbat tbe bar operations was definitely not.
llr. Fred Haverkate, 3150 South Platte River Drive, owner and manager
of tbe Sunaet View Trailer Court, compared the operation of tbe Snappy
Food Bar to that of "Skid Row" or Larimer Street. He blamed tbe present
aanagement and lack of control for this condition and expressed tbe opinion
that proper management would discourage the undesirable element which is
frequenting this bar from doing so. He expressed tbe opinion that word of
such lax management passes rapidly and an undesirable element soon congre-
gates at such a place.
llr. lloore spoke further with regard to the blocking of bis driveway
and that although be bad the authority ~o have the cars towed off, be bas
contacted the Police Department in an effort to cooperate with the operator
of the Snappy Bar so that further source of trouble would not arise. He
eapbasized bis obligation to keep clear access to the trailer court in case
of emergency or fire.
The Mayor asked if there were others to speak agailllt the issuance of
this license. There were none. He then asked those favoring the issuance
of the license to speak.
llr. Louis Pell inquired of Mr. Summers if he had been in the Snappy
Food Bar. llr. Summers replied that he had been several times. Mr. Pell
asked if llr. Summers bad observed a drunken man being served after be was
intoxicated. llr. Summers stated that he had not.
llr. Pell asked Mr. Oatman if he had been in the bar. Mr. Oatman re-
plied that he bad been. Mr. Pell asked if Mr. oatman bad not been evicted
from the bar and grocery store because of improper conduct on bis part.
llr. Oatman strongly denied this.

Minutes of July 18, 1960
11.r. Pell asked Mr. Moore if the participants in the various disturbances
and filbts bad been intoxicated at the time. Mr. Moore replied that on several
occasions that there were 1~ to 15 persons, including women, in a filbt wbo
may not have been intoxicated, but something was wrong with them. 11.r. Pell
aaked it these persons bad become intoxicated at the Snappy Bar. Mr. Moore
replied that be could not speak definitely on this. Kr. Pell asked if Mr.
lloore knew that they bad been served beer at the Snappy Bar after they bad
become intoxicated. Mr. Moore stated that he could not prove that, but re-
11&rked that there bad never been trouble and diaturhances like that until the
Snappy Bar opened. He stated that as long as the beer was being sold by tbe
package, they bad no such trouble.
11.r. Pell then asked Mr. Baverkate if he knew of any case where an in-
toxicated person was served. Mr. Haverkate stated that be bad observed such
service although be did not know the man's name. He reported that tbe man
was staggering and drunken and that be was served beer while in tbat condi-
tion. 11.r. Pell asked it being present at this time Mr. Haverkate reported
this violation. 11.r. Haverkate stated that be did not report it, but was re-
porting it at this time. 11.r. Haverkate spoke of another incident when on a
winter night a washroom was broken into and coins taken from the pay machines
and tbe tracks in the snow led trom and back to the Snappy Bar. Be stated
that be bad not seen the person who had broken into tbe coin box. but that
tbe tracks did lead to tbe Snappy Bar.
11.r. Pell tben addressed the City Council stating that the Supreme Court
bas ruled that 3.~ beer is non-intoxicating. Therefore, none of tbe patrons
of the Snappy Bar could have become intoxicated on ~-~ beer. He stated that
only one man can report that be bad seen anyone who was intoxicated being
served at the Snappy Bar, and that violation should have been reported at
the time or observance rather than at this time of consideration of renewal
of the license. If the violation bad been reported, then the operator could
have prepared a defense against the complaint and it would bave been handled
in an orderly, legal manner.
He stated that 11.r. Summers in presenting a petition and the state-
11ents of substantial evidence are all "hearsay" in this 11aam•e. He objected
to tbe consideration of a nuisance at this time without license holder-appli-
cant being formally notified under the provision ot the statutes. He em-
phasized that be and the applicant are present in the matter of a routine
renewal for a license. At this time, the Council is only concerned with
whether this license should be renewed. Any effort to show the desires of
the inhabitants and need of the community are immaterial as these have been
established in the past and a license issued. He stated that it tbere were
a nuisance and violation of the statute involved in the operation ot tbis
outlet, that those should have been brought up at the time of occurrence and
a tor11&l bearing held after due notice.
11.r. Su1D1Ders in rebuttal stated that the Supreme Court, bad not declared
3.2 beer to be non-intoxicating. He stated that, although, be bad not
witnessed the various disturbances in serving ot intoxicated people at the
Snappy Bar., be bad knowledge ot these disturbances and could report of this
knowledge. He also stated that liquor licenses are not automatically renewed
and that each renewal is subject to review and a case for individual considera-
tion prior to that renewal.
11.r. Garside expressed the opinion that from the evidence presented by
those present, the Council could not act in any manner other than to deny the
renewal of this beer license.
In rebuttal 11.r. Peli cited the court case in whicn it was found that
3.~ beer was not intoxicating. He stated with a little research be felt he
could find three or four more cases bearing the same opinion.
The City Clerk 1n response to a question by a Councilman stated that
the expiration of the existing license will be on August 1~, 1~6U.
The City Attorney was asked to express his opinion on this matter . .
The Ci ty Attorney reviewed the circumstances with regard to the issuance
of the existing license at which time Mr. Sierota was asked to make a deci-
sion in conformance with the terms of Ordinance No. 4, Series of 1959, which
li•ited the sale of beer at a 3.2 outlet to either by the package or by the
drink, but not both. Mr. Sierota bad chosen to se~l by toe package and a
license was granted on that condition. A court case by Mr. Sierota was in-
stigated to permit sale of ~-~ beer, both by the package and by the drink,
and such case was decided against the City. Mr. Sierota is now selling both
by the drink and by the package. He stated that several points were not
decided in tbis case, namely, whether a liquor license was a proprietary in-
terest and whether a formal bearing was required on renewal. He stated that
it was bis opinion that the license was not a proprietary interest nor was a
formal nearing required.
Councilman Braun questioned Mr. Sierota with regard to his personal
supervision and operation ot the Snappy Food Market and Bar. Mr. Sierota
replied that ne is there trom nine to twelve hours a day, every day of tbe
year 1n tbe operation ot this store.

Minutes of July 18, 1960
Councilman Kreiling inquired 1f Mr. Sierota planned to continue the
operation of this bar as be nas in the past.
Kr. Sierota replied tbat be hired a manager to operate the bar ana
after any disturbance, the manager is fired without pay. Be also informed
the Council that whenever any difficulty occurred, tnat be bad immediately
ca11ea tbe police. He referred to several incidents with tbe adjoining
trailer courts and their owners wbicb led to disagreements and bad feel-
ing. llr. Sierota statea tnat be had hired police officers to control the
operation at the bar and pro1essed to be interested in the proper opera-
tion. Be spoke of persons coming to the bar after they bad become drunk
elsewhere and that they were not served. He expresb~d a willingness to
erect i a 0 fence on each side of the building he occupied, if the owners of
that building would give him permission. He remarked that ereeting such
a fence would prohibit residents of the trailer court and motel run by
llr. Garside from entering as that driveway is commonly owned by the owner
of the building be occupied and Mr. Garside. Mr. Sierota suggested that
this fence be a steel fence, that it be erected on the north property line
and signs placed on it requesting no parking beyond the fence, that llr.
Moore's problem may be solved.
llr. Sierota spoke in detail of the problems that be bad bad with the
inhabitants of the adjoining trailer courts in his store and bar. lie
alleged that many of the signatures were secured by requiring the petition
be signed before rooms or housing space was provided for the persons in-
volved. Be stated that the City Council should investigate the various
occurrences and conditions in these courts.
llr. Sierota spoke further of the difficulty of getting people to help
him in the operation of the store and how many times, even tbougb very
ill, be bas needed to work long hours at the store. He expressed tbe op-
inion that possibly some of the neighborhood difficulty bas been due to a
racial or religious difference. He stated that he was and bas been a
successful businessman and was quite capable of operating the Snappy Food
Market. He reported upon his efforts to have a police officer present in
the bar on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, but that be bad not been
able to employ anyone regularly at this position.
llr. Sierota stated that be needed the 3.2 beer license in order to
successfully operate the Snappy Food Grocery Store. He stated that there
could be a fight any place, in a hamburger stand, department store or on
the street. He could not be responsible for that.
Tbe Mayor thanked Mr. Sierota for his views and asked if there was
further rebuttal to any of the comments made by Mr. Sierota.
Mr. Moore inquired if signs needed to be erected to keep people from
arking in driveways. Mr. Garside stated that he had inquired of the
Chief of Police and was told that where curbs and gutters are in, a drive-
y is easily seen by automobile drivers and they usually do not park in
it. Where there is no curb and gutter, the Chief suggested that signs be
erected. llr. Garside stated that he had gotten Mr. Sierota's permission,
erected steel signs on steel posts, one at the corner of the building and
the other at bis side of the driveway. He said that the one at the Snappy
Food Grocery Building bad been broken off and someone tried to knock over
the one on bis side of the driveway. Mr. Sierota denied having the sign
removed.
Mr. Summers remarked that if Mr. Sierota is interested in good
management, wby be does not clean up the store and premises and encourage
a better type of clientele than be bas presently.
The Mayor declared the consideration of the renewal of the applica-
tion for 3.2 beer license be ended and that the Council reach a decision
on the matter.
