03 FERRARO, David LOUIS, Agent for "Serenity420, LLC", Class A Malt & Class A
Liquor License Application for "Serenity420" at 2865 N Murray Av.
The applicant was present.
Individuals also present:
Ald. Coggs suggested that the application be held until representation at the district is
available and acknowledged all the neighbors that were present.
Ald. Borkowski moved to hold the application to the call of the chair and said that he
does not have a problem in hearing what the neighbors have to say and that he will
leave it up to the chair and members as well.
Ald. Coggs said that the motion will be to hold the application and that the application
will be scheduled again but to be fair to the neighbors, she asked them to speak.
Individuals in opposition:
Michael Dunn – 2854 N Murray Av – said that he is aware of the neighborhood which is
in a college area with a population of 80% under the age of 21 and that is why the
number of alcohol licenses has increased. He said that another license does not fill a
need and that it is promoting underage alcohol drinking.
Melissa Buschey – 2854 N Murray Av – she said that a liquor store in front of her
house was not the plan to raise her family when she moved in. She added that the
liquor store will change the atmosphere.
Mary Joe Miller – 2004 and 2006 E Locust – said that she will hold her comments until
the next meeting.
Jessica Jaglowski - 3019 N Prospect – said that there is a strong family presence on
her neighborhood with about 30 children playing and riding scooters, bikes, etc. on her
block only. She said that there are a lot of stores like that on Oakland Av but that a
liquor store is not a good fit for her residential area.
Angeline Koch - 2951 N Prospect Av – said that she wants to make sure that her
objection is recorded and that the high school students deserve to have a family
neighborhood vibe and that she is concerned about the property value being affected
for having another liquor store.
Joyce – asked why the store is named Serenity420

LICENSES COMMITTEE Meeting Minutes September 2, 2022
Ald. Coggs said that those kind of questions will be answered at the neighborhood
meeting.
Marc Tasman – 2001 E Newberry Blvd – said that he opposes because he will be in
the middle of two alcohol licenses and that there are also elementary schools around
the area. He added that he is concerned about the college students having access to
delta products (cannabis) which are unregulated.
Kevin Walzak – 2767 N Frederick Av - said that he is neighbor and president of the
neighborhood association and that he wanted to let committee know that they are in
opposition of this application and that he is looking forward to have the neighborhood
meeting when the new elected official comes to the office. He added that he agrees
with all of the points that were mentioned before.
The applicant said that he would like to defer to the November meeting.
