OPEN AIR STAND APPLICATION DENIED - OLIVE AND SAMPLE The application of William E. Moore, d /b /a G & M Enterprises, to operate an open air stand for the sale of fireworks at the corner of Olive and Sample, on railroad property, was submitted to the Board. James A. Masters, Deputy City Attorney, advised the Board that the Fire Department and Police Department made a response to a citizen complaint that fireworks were being unloaded at 1715 Portage Avenue in a residential zone. William E. Moore, Chicago, Illinois, was present at 1715 Portage Avenue at the time the Departments investigated the complaint. It is alleged that fireworks are being delivered from that address, which is in an A Residential Zone. There is great concern that fireworks may be being brought in and stored there. Mr. Masters requested that the Board schedule a hearing so the applicant will be required to appear before the Board and explain whether fireworks are being distributed from that location. Mr. Mullen inquired whether this was the same applicant with whom the Board dealt last year with regard to stands operating for the sale of flowers and fireworks without proper licensing. Mr. Masters indicated this was the same applicant. Mr. Mullen made a motion to deny the application. Mr. McMahon seconded the motion and it carried. The applicant will be notified of the denial and of a hearing scheduled on the matter for next Monday, June 12 at the regular meeting of the Board.
