Pleasant Street. The applicant meets all State Statute and Chapter 12 requirements. I have included a copy of the floor plan which outlines inside seating at 25 and outside seating at 12 with the alcohol sold and served at a counter and stored on shelving or cabinetry. Days/hours of operation are shown on the floor plan. ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS I have also included a copy of the “Class B” Best and Highest License Use Criteria sheet that was put together in 2017 and presented to the Protection and Welfare Committee as a tool to use in determining issuance of new licenses. Council has broad discretion whether to issue or deny a new license after proper review of the application and consideration of public sentiment or concerns. If the license is denied, State Statute 125.12(3m) provides that the applicant shall be notified in writing of the reason(s) for denial. The City has two regular ($600) “Class B” licenses and seven Reserve ($10,000) “Class B” licenses available. Reserve licenses can only be issued if there are no regular licenses available. FINANCIAL IMPACT The “Class B” license would expire June 30, 2022. The prorated fee, per State Statute is $200. RECOMMENDATION Based on the criteria sheet, and the business operations as provided by Ginger Ovens LLC they do not fall into the category of best and highest use of a “Class B” license. SUGGESTED MOTION 1 2 There are two potential motions: 1) Motion to adopt Resolution 22-R3009 granting a new “Class B” license to Ginger Ovens LLC OR 2) Motion to deny the “Class B” license application of Ginger Ovens LLC based on ………….. 2 3 4  “CLASS B” INTOXICATING LIQUOR/FERMENTED MALT BEVERAGE ESTABLISHMENTS BEST AND HIGHEST LICENSE USE CRITERIA The Committee shall consider the following: 1.
