Florissant OKs Cooking Area For Restaurant;

Denies Liquor License to Lounge

By Carol Arnett

The Florissant City Council met for the second October meeting recently in council chambers and issued three proclamations at the meeting.
The first declared the city a Purple Heart City.  The second was for domestic violence awareness, and the third for Extra Mile Day.
The council passed a bill authorizing an amendment to Special Use Permit 8751 to allow for an outdoor cooking area for Kingston 10 at 1157- 1159 N. Highway 67.
The council discussed a request for a Full Liquor by the Drink license for Plush Lounge at 12667 New Halls Ferry Road. The request was postponed from a previous meeting.
City Attorney John Hessel spoke to the council about the request. He said he recently became aware that the owner of the lounge has a new business partner. He learned this because the company filed new forms with the Missouri Secretary of State with the new partner.
The partner is a convicted felon, and under Missouri law and Florissant law, a convicted felon cannot hold a liquor license. “It is my advice to you that you must deny this request for a liquor license,” Hessel said. The council then voted to deny the request.
In other matters, the council:

* Approved a liquor license for 2.0 Restaurant at 462 N. Hwy 67
* Postponed voting on a request for a full liquor by the drink license for Plush Lounge at 12667 New Halls Ferry Road until the next October meeting.
City Attorney John Hessel requested the postponement, saying he had received new information late in the previous week and would like to do some further research
