POLICE DEPARTMENT / CHIEF FRANCIES The Police Department had a request for a liquor license for a motel at 1300 Harrisburg Pike. Chief Francies wrote a letter that stated as follows; June 24, 2010 Ohio Department of Commerce Division of Liquor Control RE: Liquor Permit #6430435 The Franklin
Township Police Department is opposed to the Liquor Permit Application at
1300 Harrisburg Pike. It is our
opinion that liquor sales on the premise of this motel would increase the
problems at this motel. The
Hometown Motel has had a history in the past. Under the old name of Buckeye Motel it was closed for being a
nuisance, due to prostitution, drugs, and alcohol related problems. It is our understanding that it was
reopened under a new name by the same family and if problems continued it
would be closed again. There
are places nearby for guests to purchase alcohol if they so desire. There is a Sunoco Station across the
street, a bar on the corner opposite the motel, a carryout within a block, a
shopping center across the street with several bars, and a Kroger’s, which
has liquor sales. We feel that if the
guests need to purchase alcohol they can do it at these locations. By being able to purchase it on the premises,
it could fuel problems at the motel and the residential area nearby. We request
that a liquor permit not be issued for this location. Chief Jeff Francies Chairman Guyton made a motion that the Board disallows a new liquor license at 1300 Harrisburg Pike doing business as Hometown Motel Store. Trustee Johnson seconded the motion. Vote taken: Guyton, yes, Cook, yes, Johnson, yes.
