While no liquor license rider application was received, based on the description of the entertainment to be provided, a live entertainment rider would be required. Mr. Knoob has previously expressed his opposition to the City Council comprising the Liquor Commission, as opposed to the Mayor serving as the sole Liquor Commissioner. He finds the commission to be invalid and reiterated his complaint in the transmittal of the application. He cites an excerpt from the Illinois Liquor Control Act of 1934 (5 ILCS 5/4-2) as the basis for his opposition. The full section of the State Code is attached for the Commission's reference. It should be noted that there are other communities that utilize additional members to assist the Mayor in the exercise of their duties, including other elected officials and sometimes staff members. Liquor Code Provisions The On-Premises Primary classification permits the sale of alcohol for consumption on the business premises with sales of alcohol as the principal source of revenue. The minimum entry age for the establishment shall be eighteen (18) unless a special condition or license rider is issued to modify such entry age. Carbondale Revised Code - Procedure for Issuing a License The Local Liquor Control Commission may require evidence it deems necessary to make findings based upon the standards and factual criteria for issuing or denying a license as set out below. Following the hearing, the Commission may grant a liquor license, contingent upon receipt of outstanding items, if it is determined that the approval of the license would not be detrimental to the general welfare of the City. If the Commission finds that a change in the applicant's plans is needed in order to create grounds for the issuance of the license, the Commission may require such change(s) as a condition. The failure of the applicant at any time to adhere to or perform such condition shall be considered a violation of the Carbondale Liquor Code title. Criteria for denying an application for a liquor license: 1.The application does not contain all the information, supporting documents, or fees required by this title. 2.The issuance of the license would be in violation of any part of this title. 3.The applicant does not have sufficient financial assets to maintain the proposed liquor establishment or has demonstrated insufficient financial responsibility. 4.The applicant is a convicted felon who has not been adequately rehabilitated. 5.The issuance of the license can reasonably be expected to create excessive noise, traffic, parking, or litter problems. 6.The applicant has a history of problems with regard to violations of health regulations, laws, and ordinances at prior establishments owned or managed by the applicant. 7.The building in which the applicant seeks to operate does not meet building and zoning code ordinances and regulations. 8.The issuance of the license can reasonably be expected to create a nuisance such as excessive and repeated breaches of the peace. 9.The applicant has previously had a liquor license revoked or suspended in this or any other state or jurisdiction. 10. The applicant is seeking a restaurant license and does not provide sufficient facilities or menu items to operate as a restaurant. Outstanding Items:The $100 application fee has been paid and the criminal history checkdid not reveal anything that would preclude the applicant from holding a liquor license. The outstanding items are the pro-rated liquor license fee, the Illinois Business Authorization Certificate, a Jackson County Health Department permit, a certificate of insurance, and a valid lease or deed to the property. Staff Recommendation: The requested license classification is appropriate for the proposed operation. The location previously operated under this classification for a number of years. Deficiencies in application noted: Owner/Primary Contact lists a business address (Levels) as home address; in a legal complaint from February 2025, Mr. Knoob identifies Ohio as his residence.

The new partners have great plans for the legendary venue and are well underway in remodeling the interior to increase capacity, operating efficiency, and patron safety. Among the improvements are the reconfiguration of the first floor to one uniform level and the installation of a fire sprinkler system. As well as purchasing the Hangar 9 building at 511 S. Illinois, they have purchased the adjacent parking lot to the South at 513 S. Illinois and are creating an outdoor beer garden in this space. As part of the effort to increase access and efficiency for deliveries and customer access, the new owners have requested a Continuous Encroachment on City property to the East of the Hangar 9 Building and the new beer garden. Behind the building, the encroachment area would serve as a future location for stairway and ramp construction for more direct delivery access, as well as a patron access to the rear public parking lot. The area behind the beer garden would serve as an unloading zone for deliveries and bands, as well as possible employee parking. Currently, this parking lot area is occupied by a landscape island, which will be incorporated into the ramp/stair design, and an existing hash-striped no-parking area. No public parking spaces will be lost due to the encroachment. The dimensions of the encroachment will be eighteen (18) feet by one hundred nine and a half (109.5) feet. The City Staff has reviewed the plans and recommends approval of the continuous encroachment. Attached for Council review are the following: 1. The Encroachment Permit Application. 2.
