Dear Mr. Rosenbaum:

RE: APPLICATION FOR PRE-CLEARANCE - "G" CLASS LICENCE
AT: WILD DUCK INN, 720 Lougheed Highway,
Port Coquitlam, B. C.
APPLICANT: R.C.B. HOLDINGS LTD.

After carefully considering all the information that I
have and applying the appropriate legislation, I find I
must refuse this application.

One of the factors which I must consider in reviewing all

applications is the need for liquor licensing ina
community. The branch has a responsibility to take into
consideration population trends, community need, and
enforcement capabilities in determining if a new liquor
licence should be issued. The regulations also require
that I consider:

Regulation 5(4)(a) the proposed location of the
establishment;

(b) the proximity of the establishment to
other social facilities and public
buildings;

(c) the number of licensed establishments
within a reasonable distance of the
proposed location; . .

(d) the potential economic viability of
the proposal;

(e) the need of the local community for
the proposed establishment;

(£) traffic, noise and parking factors,
appearance and municipal zoning.

In addition, section 17(7) of the regulations pertains to
licensee retail store licensing which I must also consider
when making my decision. I have enclosed a copy of this
regulation for your reference.
