ORDERS:
ORDER
This matter comes before this tribunal pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. § 61-2-260 (Supp. 1997)
and S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-310, et seq. (Supp. 1997) for a contested case hearing. Petitioner Bruce
L. Rochester applied for an on-premises beer and wine permit for an establishment at 3742 Old
Dobbins Bridge Road, Fair Play, Anderson, South Carolina. The South Carolina Department of
Revenue does not oppose Petitioners' application, but did appear at the hearing.
After timely notice to the parties and protestant, a hearing was held at the Spartanburg
County Courthouse, Family Courtroom #3, 180 Magnolia Street, Spartanburg, South Carolina on
June 15, 1998. The protestant of record, Lt. Becky Fachting, of the Anderson County Sheriff's
Office, failed to appear at the hearing of this matter, thereby waiving her protest.
S.C. Code Ann. § 61-4-520 (Supp. 1997) establishes the criteria for the issuance of a beer
and wine permit. In its Agency Transmittal, the Department advised this tribunal that Petitioners
appear to have met all statutory requirements, and but for the protest, the Department would have
issued the permit.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Department of Revenue shall continue to process
Petitioners' application for an on-premises beer and wine permit for 3742 Old Dobbins Bridge Road,
Fair Play, Anderson, South Carolina.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
