Dear Mr. Duncansons
We at Dania United Methodist Church have been advised by registered
letter of the public hearing tonight in the matter of granting a variance
to allow a convenience store to sell beer and wine within 1,000 feet of
our Church.
While I realize that we cannot legislate the morals of people, I do
feel that the sale of beer and wine that close to our Church would be
detrimental. I personally am opposed to the granting of this variance
because I feel that it will only open the door to other businesses that
will want to sell alcoholic beverages around our Church.
This matter was discussed at the regular meeting of our Administrat-
ive Board on Monday, November 8, 1976, and it was voted to send a petit-
ion opposing the granting of the variance. The names listed on the att-
ached sheet are members of the Administrative Board and were present at
the meeting.
It was also felt that this outlet for the sale of beer and wine,
especially if it were open on Sunday, would be in direct opposition to
what many of us in the United Methodist Church Stand for and believe.
We respectfully request that the City Commission not grant the
variance. May God's richest blessings be with you and yours always.
Yours in His service,
John He Brabham
IJe, the undersigned, do hereby request the City Commission not to grant
the variance by a convenience store to sell beer and wine at a location
within 1,000 feet of Dania United Methodist Church@

Dania City Commission
Dania, Florida
Dear Sirs:
As the owners of a residence on Lot 6, Block 19, North Hollywood Subdivision,
we request that the Dania City Commission deny the Special Exception Use re-
quest permitting entertainment at the Hut Bar owned by Anders P. Muller.
',!e feel there would be violations of the Special Exception Use Code of the
Planning and Zoning Board of the City of Dania if the request is allowed. We
therefore protest, for the following reasons:
1. Inadequate off-street parking.
2 . Inadequate landscaping and screening.
3. Safety hazards created by additional traffic entering and exiting
the adjacent alley and street.
i:. Additional noise created by patrons of the Hut Bar, such as loud
ar;ving, use of profanity, and noisy cars and motorcycles.
'.dithin the past year it has been necessary for the police to be called on
:,a.,rrl occasions, including:
1. Persons on foot and in cars loitering around the premises and in the
alley.
2. Shooting incident inside the bar, resulting in a police chase, damage
to a telephone pole, and involvement by the fire and sheriffs depart-
ments.
Considering the aforementioned reasons, we trust the Commission will deny the
request to permit entertainment at the Hut Bar.
Yours truly
Jloseph Bebon
