Gila County Order No. LL-11-05 - Pleasant Valley Winery Liquor License Application

Background Information

On April 5, 2011, the Gila County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing regarding Gila County liquor license application number LL-11-03 that pertained to a Series 13 liquor license application submitted by Marie Ann Petroff for the Pleasant Valley Winery located at 253B S. Cody Road, Young, Arizona. At that time the BOS issued an approval recommendation to the State Department of Liquor Licenses and Control (Department) and subsequently the Department approved the application and issued the license to Ms. Petroff. The headquarters of the Pleasant Valley Winery has since moved to 3023 Walnut Creek Road, Young, Arizona; which is a short distance from the previous location; however, the Department requires that a new liquor license application be submitted.

On December 9, 2011, Ms. Petroff submitted an application to the Department for a new Series 13 domestic farm winery license for the Pleasant Valley Winery located at 3023 Walnut Creek Road in Young. Part of the statutory process is once the Department accepts and processes the license, it is sent to the local governing body in which city, town or county the establishment is located. Upon the local governing body conducting a public hearing and reviewing the application, a recommendation is then issued by the local governing, which in Gila County it is the Board of Supervisors (Board), to the Department to either approve, deny or issue a "no recommendation" decision.

Per statutory requirements, a notice of hearing by the Board was posted at the establishment for a period of 20 days, specifically to inform any person residing or owning or leasing property within a one-mile radius of the establishment regarding this application. To date, the Clerk of the Board's Department has not received any objections to this application.

Evaluation

This application has been forwarded to the Gila County Clerk of the Board of Supervisors' Department for submission to the Board. An internal review has been conducted by both the Gila County Building Safety Department and the Health Department. Both departments have submitted paperwork stating there are no issues related to this application with regard to their departmental policies/procedures. The Affidavit of Posting has also been signed by Sheriff verifying that the application was posted and removed per statutory requirements.

Conclusion

All of Gila County's requirements have been met with regard to this application; no one has submitted a written objection to this application; therefore, a public hearing should be held by the Board to entertain any comments from the public with regard to this application before the Board takes an action to issue a recommendation to the Department.

Recommendation

The Chief Deputy Clerk of the Board of Supervisors recommends that the Board issue an approval recommendation to the Department for this liquor license; otherwise, consider issuing a different recommendation to the Department should any person appear before the Board during the public hearing, who is in opposition to this license.

Suggested Motion

Public Hearing - Information/Discussion/Action to approve Order No. LL-11-05, an application submitted by Marie Ann Petroff for a new Series 13 domestic farm winery license for the Pleasant Valley Winery located at 3023 Walnut Creek Road, Young, Arizona. (Marian Sheppard)
