ORDERS:
ORDER
This matter comes before this tribunal pursuant to S.C. Code Ann. § 61-2-260 (Supp. 1998)
and S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-310, et seq. (Supp. 1998) for a contested case hearing. Petitioner applied
for an on-premises beer and wine permit for an establishment located at 508 West Gold Street,
McCormick, 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 July 12, 1999. The protestants of record,
McCormick Police Chief Leroy Martin and Caroline E. Sanders, failed to appear at the hearing of
this matter, thereby waiving their protests.
S.C. Code Ann. § 61-4-520 (Supp. 1998) 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 protests, 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 508 West Gold Street,
McCormick, South Carolina.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
