Council approves Class B liquor license for Cure at 101 Park Place contingent on zoning approval
Summary
The Delavan City Council approved a Class B liquor license for Cure — agent Eric Shine — with the premise to include the asphalt area in front of the building, conditioned on prior zoning approval. Competing applicants and nearby business owners spoke during public comment.
The Delavan City Council on July 15 approved a Class B liquor license for Cure at 101 Park Place, with the license conditioned on the city first granting the required zoning approval for the outdoor asphalt area in front of the building.
The approval followed public comment from at least three community members about the same license item. One speaker who identified himself as Garrett Chang and said he was affiliated with 101 Park Place urged the council to allow his group “to be able to secure a license and open a pretty incredible venue for town.” An unidentified resident who gave an address in Franklin said they had applied for a Class B license and asked the council to consider that application. Another unidentified speaker, who described themselves as the long-time owner of Hernandez, asked the council to “give him another chance” and said the business hoped to reopen by Aug. 1.
The council motion to approve the license — described in the meeting as approval for “Cure, Eric Shine Shine, agent at 101 Park Place” with the premise description to include the asphalt area in front of the building — passed by voice vote. The motion specified that the license would be granted “upon receiving the zoning approval.”
Why it matters: the decision allows a new restaurant/venue to sell alcohol on-site and use adjacent outdoor space if zoning clearance is obtained. Council approvals tied to zoning mean the license will only take effect after administrative land-use review is complete.
Details: Council members conducted the item as part of agenda item 9.3. The motion was made and seconded on the record and passed with an affirmative voice vote. The transcript does not record individual council members’ names attached to the motion or the roll-call tallies for this item.
What wasn’t decided: The council’s action was explicitly contingent on obtaining zoning approval; the record does not show that zoning approval was granted at the July 15 meeting. The transcript also does not specify whether competing applicants will receive notice of the council’s decision or whether any additional conditions were attached beyond the zoning contingency.
Next steps: Cure’s license will become effective only after the zoning review is complete, per the motion on the record.
