License commission grants Gardner Elks extension of premises
Summary
The Gardner License Commission approved an extension of premises request for the Gardner Elks, allowing expanded licensed area on the property after commissioners were satisfied the site can be roped and policed; staff will forward the approval to the ABC/ABCC for review.
The Gardner License Commission on July 7 approved an extension of premises request for the Gardner Elks, moving from intermittent one‑day uses to a fuller licensed area around the club’s back lot.
Applicants described prior events held behind the Elks with police detail and said the area is effectively fenced on three sides and can be roped to control access. Commissioners asked about event scheduling, traffic impacts and coordination with Monument Park concerts; applicants said they would check event dates and coordinate with city teams. Staff told the commission that previous events in that area had been manageable and that policing and roping can be used to limit access to the licensed footprint.
A motion to grant the extension was made and seconded; the commission voted 'Aye' and the chair announced the extension was approved. Staff said the approval will be sent to the ABC/ABCC the following morning for their review and for notification to the licensee.
The transcript records applicant names during the hearing ("Jack Langham" and "Roger Overshadows with Goddard Associates"); the meeting record shows the commission’s approval but does not record a precise vote tally in the transcript.
