The Commission inquired about parking issues, noted that the operation seems more like a bar than a restaurant, and reminded the applicant about the requirement for restaurants and the percentages.
Applicant Fornestee Rowe and David Divine-Bey on behalf of Ms. Rowe responded to Commission and audience inquiries, noting that the intent was to have an establishment for people 35 and older, noting the need for establishments for that target audience, that parking was only needed for 130-150, and that seating would be available for about 75.

Ms. Rowe indicated what her goals are for the establishment. She commented on who she intended to hire for operating the establishment, her experience in restaurants, and her lack of experience with liquor establishments.
Renata, last name not given, expressed support for the application.
