Kernan, City Controller, submitted his recommendation <br />to the Board concerning the application of a restaurant - entertainment <br />license for the King & Queen Tavern located at 916 South Michigan <br />Street. In his letter to the Board, Mr. Kernan recommended that the <br />license be denied based upon violation of the city's zoning ordinance. <br />A representative of the establishment asked for a clarification on <br />the denial, and Mr. Crone explained that the zoning ordinance prohibits <br />the location of this type of establishment within 1,000 feet of other <br />controlled uses. He stated that the King & Queen already had a pre- <br />existing use for the sale of alcohol and was "grandfathered" as a <br />tavern, but the change to allow for dancing would be in violation of <br />the code. Upon a motion made by Mr. Hill, seconded by Mr. Leszczynski <br />and carried, the recommendation was approved and the license denied. <br />APPROVAL OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM CONTRACTS AND ADDENDUM <br />Ms. Marzy Bauer, Director of the Department of Community Development, <br />submitted for Board approval the following contracts: <br />Department of Public Works: general street improvements <br />in Community Development target areas (budget not to <br />exceed $255,000.00) <br />
