Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution a discussion ensued
during which Alderman Mabbett expressed concern that problems, similar
to those encountered at a similar establishment in the Flint-Manning
Block, would occur in this area, however, it was noted that the majority
of the previous problems had occurred in a parking lot to the rear of
the building, a situation which does not exist in the present application.
Alderman Laking expressed the view that if a Cabaret was not permitted
in the *Downtown' area of the City, what would be considered a suitable
location and further that he felt a letter should be sent to the Liquor
Control Board reminding them that they should advise applicants in
future that Council approval must be obtained prior to approval being
granted for a liquor licence. He noted that in this instance, the
applicant had spent a considerable sum of money in carrying out renovations
to the establishment and had not been advised until after the completion
of same that his liquor licence would not he approved until the Municipal
Council had given their approval for the establishment. Mr. Peter
Theodoropoulos, the owner of the Empire Cabaret was in the gallery and
briefly addressed the Council with a view to giving the members of
Council an idea of the type of entertainment, clientele, etc. that could
be expected at his establishment.
