Council denies Class D liquor license for Third Street Trees LLC
Summary
The council denied a Class D liquor-license application from Third Street Trees LLC (owner Melissa Field Grove) after police and Nebraska State Patrol recommended denial; the applicant urged compliance and responsible sales during public comment.
At the public hearing for agenda item 7A on March 10, the council considered a Class D liquor-license application filed by Third Street Trees LLC (305 N. Broadwell Ave.). Departmental reports from the police department and Nebraska State Patrol recommended denial.
Applicant Melissa Field Grove spoke in support of her application, identifying herself and describing her business as a convenience-style smoke shop. She told council she understands a liquor license is a privilege and said she would enforce ID checks and comply with state law: "I take that responsibility very seriously. I'm committed to strict compliance with Nebraska tobacco laws, careful ID verification, and responsible tobacco sales."
After closing the hearing, Council member Hosy moved to deny resolution 2026-56; the motion carried and the council denied the application.
