SO rws Stating the need for "a get the on attitude tough" of and sale beer, the marketing West Jordan city council continued its discussion of problems associated with the accessibility of beer to minors, point of sale advertising and of current city, violations ordinances at the Tuesday evening council meeting. The council also directed legal staff to prepare an amendment prohibiting the display for sale of beer at the point of sale and also the advertising for sale, displaying for sale, or offering to sell beer except in k units. Consequently, the sale of individual cans or bottles of beer would be unlawful and also advertising of beer near pre-packag- ed six-pac- cash registers. to its get tough Adding attitude, the council asked for legislation for educational information to be handed out to beer purchasers so they are familiar with the open container law and other drinking and driving legislation. However, the council did agree to drop the proposal calling for a limited number of beer licenses throughout the city because the license would be an asset to a business and may inflate the price and criminal associated with happenings businesses, explained council member Sherm Monson. Legal representative for Coors Beer, Max Mangum, agreed the council had a right to move on some problems but according to Utah statute the council must follow the Utah State Liquor Commission regarding "You can't advertising. blatantly prohibit advertising," he declared. Responding that we are talking about an unbelievable monster that begins with the availability of beer to the young person, council member Chris Buttars stated, "We are not ready to accept that we can't regulate. If we can't pass that legislation, I am not sure we shouldn't go to the state legislature and help them out." The council also agreed to stricter enforcement of existing ordinances including the Open Container Ordinance, prohibiting the possession of alcohol by minors and prohibiting adult purchases of beer at the request of minors following a report by Public Safety Director Kal Farr who informed the council that four West Jordan grocery stores that included Ream's, Alpha Beta, Smith's Food King and Safeways had sold beer on Friday night to an eighteen year old minor without ever asking for identification. definite a "We have we do if don't because obligation asked who is?" something Buttars. "And we ought to make it just as tough as we can to get it (beer) and we ought to burn everyone we need to burn." "The city should be known for its enforcement of these ordinances," added council member Betty Naylor. "We should promote education that is on the books now and tighten sales to minors and enforce violations." The evening's actions were prompted by Buttars who presented the staff with a statement in May calling for more information and discussion of the problem of drinking and driving and a July meeting where the council unofficially agreed that these problems need to be addressed. At the July discussion, Mayor Dennis Randall motioned for the city staff to draft an ordinance which would eliminate sales of single cans of beer and point of purchase promotions. Also at that same meeting Buttars asked the council to consider separation of soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, elimination of point of purchase promotions, stricter enforcement of the open and law container age restrictions, fines for adults who purchase beer for minors and elimination of single containers. In more action, the council rezoned the David Barney property located at 9308 Brown F so Ave., from RR 5F to R could be a single family dwelling next lot ft. on a 10,000 sq. placed to the Barney corner lot which has a home facing the easterly direction rather than northward. The rezone will improve the appearance of the half acre lot and will tie in better with the neighborhood. Lastly, the council denied amending the Zoning Ordinance on the size of two car garages from 20 ft. by 20 ft. to 20 ft. depth and 19 ft. width as requested by several builders who said West Jordan was the only city to have such a requirement. "I am totally opposed to reducing the size of a two car garage," stated Monson, who explained that he owned a reduced size garage where it was difficult to have a station wagon and an import car need the "We together. can use the so minimum people garage for more than parking 1-- cars." Naylor motioned for denial and Monson seconded the request. |
