Exception 74-17, filed by Herman Johnson, to allow on sale
liquor in an existing cafeteria which is located within
300' of residences.
Dale Heinly, Attorney at Law, 838 North Van Ness Street,
representing the appellant, stated there is no legal objec-
tion to the serving of beer in a restaurant; that police
problems in the area are not attributable to Mr. Johnson's
restaurant and are not a valid reason for denial of the
Minor Exception; that the City is discriminating against
Mr. Johnson on the basis of color and guilt by association.
Police Chief Raymond Davis reported that the Staff position
opposing the Minor Exception does not specifically oppose
Mr. Johnson as a licensee, but is based on continuing crime
problems in the area which are aggravated by serving of
alcohol, and the high concentration of alcoholic beverage
licenses in the area.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

AUGUST 19, 1974
Assistant Planning Director Bill Daugherty reviewed the Zoning
Administrator's Finding of Fact dated August 6, 1974, and the
two basic reasons for denial of the Minor Exception: 1)
Police problems in the area; and 2) Noise complaints from
area residents. Mr. Daugherty assured Council that there is
no basis for Mr. Heinly's allegation that Mr. Johnson was
being unfairly treated.
Herman Johnson, 1305 West Fourth Street, stated that his
restaurant has been open for a year without trouble; that
serving beer with meals will not create additional Police
problems; that he is willing to accept any conditions imposed
by Council as to hours of operation; and suggested a one
year time limit, with extension subject to Council approval.
The Assistant Clerk read the following noise complaints
from area residents:
1. Letter from Margarita de la Riva;
2. Letter from Mrs. Mary Ruiz.
There were no other written communications, and no other
proponents or opponents, and the Mayor closed the Public Hearing.
Following Council discussion, the motion of Councilman Yamamoto,
seconded by Councilman Griset, to receive and file the Determina-
tion of Exemption and instruct the City Attorney to prepare a
resolution upholding the decision of the Zoning Administrator
to deny Minor Exception 74-17, carried with dissenting votes
by Councilmen Evans and Garthe, and Mayor Patterson. (CA 13.5)

PUBLIC HEARING
BIKE LANES
LINCOLN AVENUE
The Public Hearing to
consider bike lanes on
Lincoln Avenue was
opened by the Mayor.
The Traffic Engineer orally presented highlights of the
Public Works Director's Report to the City Manager dated
July 29, 1974. The results of the survey of residents con-
tained in the report indicated 65% of the residents in favor
of some type of bike lane.
The Assistant Clerk reported there were no written communica-
tions.
The following persons spoke in favor of the bike lanes:
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Daily, 2436 North Lincoln;
Jerry Thompson, 1018 Virginia Avenue.
The proponents suggested reduction of speed limit and a
four-way stop at Lincoln and Santa Clara Avenues to slow
down traffic on Lincoln, and that heavy (wide) trucks be
limited.
The following persons spoke in opposition to the bike lanes:
D. R. Klinger, 1014 Beechwood;
Lyle Morrison, 2520 North Lincoln;
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hellwig, 2530 North Lincoln;
Valerie Richards, 1018 East Santa Clara.
The following reasons were stated by the opponents:
l)
that Lincoln Avenue is a dangerous street with
heavy, fast moving traffic;
2)
that the width of Lincoln Avenue, the railway
crossings at Santa Clara and Fairhaven, and the
school bus stop at Grovemont, are additional
hazards for bikers;
3)
that on-street parking on Lincoln is necessary
because of short driveways of residents and
little space available on side streets for guest
parking;
4) that the blacktop curbing is objectionable;
5) that the bike lanes will bring about a drop in
property values;
that there is no demonstrable need for bike lanes
on Lincoln at this time;
7) that the bike lane on the east side of Lincoln
is being used for passing; and
8) that there have been recent accidents on Lincoln.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 314 AUGUST 19, 1974
Several of the opponents requested that the bike lanes be
removed from Lincoln Avenue if they are not used by bicyclists.
There were no other proponents or opponents, and the Mayor
closed the Public Hearing.
On motion of Councilman Ward, seconded by Councilman Yamamoto,
and carried with dissenting vote by Councilman Evans, Council
approved restriction of parking for a bike trail on the west
side of Lincoln Avenue, from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. daily,
and instructed the City Attorney to prepare appropriate
resolution as recommended by the Director of Public Works,
to provide bike lane in accordance with the Council's Master
Bike Route Plan.
Prior to the motion, Council expressed interest in considering
traffic safety measures to reduce speed on Lincoln Avenue.
(CA 18.6)

PEEP SHOW PERMIT consider the Appeal of
JJM, INC. JJM, Inc. concerning

mously carried motion of Councilman Evans, seconded by Council-
man Yamamoto.
Prior to the motion the City Attorney informed Council that
JJM, Inc. no longer exists as a Nevada corporation, and it
would be premature for Council to consider the application
at this time. (CA 149.1)
