Item No. 12 JP Malone's Liquor Licence Application

 

 

Mr. Don Grant, of #210 8600 General Currie Road, spoke in support of the permanent extension of the opening hours at JP Malones, because of the fact that the younger patrons who lived in the area were able to walk home, rather than having to drive into Vancouver to attend late night bars.
 

 

 

Ms. Maureen Derkson,  8760 Blundell Road, Blundell Gardens, Chair of the Strata Council, reported on the many complaints which the Strata Council had been receiving about the noise, property damage and litter caused by the patrons at JP Malones since the temporary extension of the operating hours, and on the impact which these extended hours had had on residents. 
 

 

 

Mr. Ron Resek, 8760 Blundell Road, indicated that while he was not opposed to the late night hours, he was opposed to the continued loud noise emanating from JP Malones, as well as the noise and smoke from the outdoor smoking and patio area.
 

 

 

Mr. Richard Fernyhough, counsel on behalf of John Grewal, the owner of JP Malones, stated that Mr. Grewal was asking that Council reconsider their decision, as he felt that the presentations made by the delegations at the General Purposes Committee did not fairly represent the views of the majority of Richmond residents.  Mr. Fernyhough then addressed the comments made by speakers at that meeting.
 

 

 

Marcelle Hill, 7840 Garden City Road, advised that she did not have any concerns about the noise emanating from JP Malones, and spoke in support of the extension of operating hours at the pub.
 

 

 

Mr. Kirp Johl, 8551 Garden City Road, spoke about the vandalism problems being experienced at the Garden City Shopping Centre which he felt was a result of those patrons of JP Malones who parked their vehicles in the shopping centre parking lot.
 

 

 

Mr. Mickel Kljajic, 306 8760 Blundell Road, spoke about incidents which had occurred at the Blundell Gardens complex against his family, and about the alleged vandalism of vehicles in the parkade being blamed on patrons of JP Malones.  He voiced the opinion that the business community should be supported in its endeavours, and that the permanent extension of hours at JP Malones should be approved.
 

 

 

Mr. Ray Mitchell, a resident of Blundell Gardens, spoke about the on-going disturbances which began to occur following the extension of the operating hours at JP Malones in January of this year.
 

 

 

Mr. Roger Aymer, 11160 Kingsgrove Road, suggested that airplane noise was louder than the noise emanating from JP Malones, and he spoke in support of (i) the permanent extension of the operating hours at JP Malones, and (ii) small businesses in Richmond.
