Fairview board approves off‑premises beer permit for Ann's Market
Summary
The Fairview Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 June 5 to grant an off‑premises beer permit to Ann's Market at 17014 Highway 96 North after staff confirmed required checks and the applicant said there were no prior violations.
The Fairview Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 Thursday to approve an off‑premises beer permit for Ann's Market at 17014 Highway 96 North in Fairview, the board said at its June 5 meeting.
A staff member told the board the applicant had met required checks, including a background check, a site survey and a review of the distance to the nearest school or preschool. Applicant Ishan Lalani told the board his business had not been served with violations.
The item was presented by the mayor as “Item number 6” and the board asked the applicant to come forward and state his name and address. Applicant Ishan Lalani identified himself and gave an address in Knoxville. A staff member then addressed the commission: “the applicant meets all requirements, including passing the background check along with the site survey as well on the distance to the nearest school or preschool.”
When asked whether his business had received any violations, Ishan Lalani responded, “No, ma'am.” The board then called for a motion to approve; a motion and a second were made (movers not identified on the record). Miss Jones called the roll: Vice Mayor McDonald, Commissioner Roberts, Commissioner Hall, Commissioner Buffalini and Mayor Anderson all voted “Aye.” The chair announced, “Item number 6 passes 5‑0.”
No members of the public spoke on the item during the meeting. A board member commented that the location was well situated near existing businesses, referencing nearby commercial activity including a Dunkin' Donuts. The meeting adjourned and the board said it would reconvene its Board of Commissioners meeting at 7 p.m.
Details recorded in the meeting record show the approved permit is for off‑premises sale of beer at the address the applicant supplied. The file includes a completed site survey and background check noted by staff; no fines or violations were cited on the record.
