ORDERS:
ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER'S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
A Final Order and Decision was filed in this matter on April 29, 2002. The Final Order and Decision granted Petitioner's
application for a conditional retail liquor license subject to three stipulations, including the following:
... Petitioner shall not display a Red Dot on the rear of the proposed location or on the side of the shopping center, nor any
other location which may be visible from the Park. Further, Petitioner shall not display a Red Dot on the Front of the
proposed location, except that Petitioner may display a Red Dot (or series of Red Dots) on the door of the proposed location
such that no Red Dot is visible to the naked eye from St. Andrews Road or Leisure Lane;...On May 14, 2002, Petitioner moved this tribunal to reconsider its decision "in so far as it restricts the Petitioner's ability to
place red dots on the front of its business." In support of its motion, Petitioner points out that other liquor stores located on
St. Andrews Road have red dots visible from the road. In addition, under state law, red dots are the only method by which a
liquor store may advertise its location to potential customers.
I find Petitioner's arguments persuasive. Accordingly, the prohibition against displaying a red dot on the front of the
proposed location is hereby lifted. All other provisions of the April 29, 2002 Final Order and Decision remain in full effect.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
