Ald. Sanders stated that he felt that the Committee was not
being fair to Mr. Champagne and we have no adequate basis to
deny. Ald. Patterson, on vote for denial, stated that the
establishment is in his district and proposed scope and type of
operation could likely lead to same or similar problems,
particularly dance hall crowd, parking and crowd control. Ald.
D'Acquisto stated that he opposed settlement with Mr. Crivello and that Mr. Crivello is transferring ownership to a blood
relative, his cousin, and it subverts the spirit, intent and
representations made in the Settlement of Complaint again Mr. Crivello, which he opposed. He has no specific problem with Mr. Champagne, but felt that the wishes of the Aldermen of the District should be considered. Ald. D'Acquisto also advised Mr.
