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 applied for an on-premises beer and wine permit for an establishment located at 1830
Frink Street, Cayce, South Carolina. The South Carolina Department of Revenue does not
oppose Petitioner's application.
After timely notice to the parties and protestants, a hearing was held at the Administrative
Law Judge Division in Columbia, South Carolina on January 21, 1999. The protestants of
record, George O. Raines and Rev. G. Franklin Reese, failed to appear at the hearing of this
matter, thereby waiving their protests.
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 Petitioner
appears 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 Petitioner's application for an on-premises beer and wine permit for 1830 Frink Street,
Cayce, South Carolina.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
