AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
Sharon Laux, 1410 14th N.E., asked the Council about the easements along the Green
River. She stated cyclone fences had been put up so the public could not walk River
Road. She wondered if the people had any rights to walk in the area.
Jack Bereiter said there has been some confusion over the easements. Owners of the
property gave easements to the Game Dept. for fishing and public use. He said it
was his understanding the fence was put up to control pedestrian traffic and parties
which had been held in the area. The easement provides the Game Department to control
the property at its discretion. He added the City has written to the Game Department
asking if their policy had changed.
Ms. Laux said a sign had been posted stating the area was for fishing only.
George Schuler added there were two easements involved. Private property owners gave
easements to King County Hydraulicsfor maintenance of the dike and one to the Game
Department for fishing and pedestrian uses. He noted without the easements the use
of the property would be up to the property owners.
Richard Evans, 1614 Riverview Drive, asked if the City was also checking what restriction
was on the dike road. Schuler stated he had a map available if Mr. Evans would care
to have it. Evans asked also if it basically was up to the property owners how the
property would be used. Schuler responded, yes.
Dennis Hart, Auburn Avenue Theatre, presented a letter to the Council asking that
his application for a liquor license for the Poet's Nook be considered immediately
because of an upcoming event scheduled for the end of September and first of October.
Craig reported when the request came before the Planning & Community Development
Committee they were a little confused as to where the liquor was going to be served.
Since no one was at the meeting they decided to hold a hearing so it could be clarified' "
as to what was being requested.
Hart responded the request for the liquor license was for the Poet's Nock, however,

the State Liquor Inspector said because the restrooms for the restaurant were in the
theater their application should give both addresses. This was why there were both
the restaurant address and theater address on the license request. He said liquor would
not be permitted in the theater area.
Craig expressed some concern over possible conflict with local ordinances and suggested
approving the request temporarily to see if any problems needed to be resolved.
'It was moved by Craig, seconded by Roegner, to approve the request for a liquor license
for the Poet's Nook, 8-10 Auburn Avenue, provided George Schuler and Jack Bereiter
outline the ground rules to include a six month review of the operation.
