2. That the said license application is in due form, properly executed, and that publication has been ~,,,,,
made in the manner and for the time required by law, by appearing in [he Aspen Times, aweekly newspaper
authorized by law to publish legal notices in Aspen, Colorado.
3. That there has heretofore been issued one restaurant license for the sale of malt, venous and
spirituous liquor by the drink at Redstone, Colorado, which is now in use in connection with the operation
of the Glemuood Hot Springs Company lodge and resort; that said resort has in the past been open only during
the summer months and is cloned during .moat of the year and may reasonably be expected to continue closing
during the winter months; that while the Glenwood Hot Springs.. Company lodge is open [o the general public,
during the summer months when the same isopen, such establishment caters primarily to persona .residing at
the premises, and to aua®er visitors conalating primarily of the tourist population.
' 4. That no other license fox the sale of malt, venous and spirituous liquor by the drink exieta in
the Weet end of Pitkin County and that when said lodge ie closed, the nearest licensed premises for the
~' sale of such beverages is at Carbondale, Colorado, in Garfield County, a'dietance of some 18 miles from
I Redstone over a rough, narrow and mountainous road and that the reasonable requirements of the inhabi[an[a
of Redstone are no[ being adequately served by the said Glenwood Hot Springs Company licensed premiaea.
~' S. That the permanent, year around 'population of Redstone has-been constantly growing and may reason-
ably be expected to grow, .due primarily to con®erc ial develppmente in that vicinity, including a large
coal mining operation, transportation of coal, and other cammerc ial enterprises; that's aubatantial number
of the workers involved therein are permanent, year around residents of Redstone; that the growth of Redstone
may reasonably be expected to continue 'as is evidenced by extensive aubdiviaion plans; new construction,
eatatiliahment of a post office, andother activities; [hat a majority of the permanent inhab i[anta of
Reda[one favor the ieauance of the license-applied for and the establishment of a restaurant with the.'
privileges permitted by ouch license. -
6. That moat of the objet bona and protests to the issuance of license applied for were based upon
alleged proximity. of .the premises sought to be licensed to private dwellings; that objectors indicated they
would not oppose other. commercial development in [he vicinity, but were opposed to a bar with Che sale of
liquor; thatmos[ of such objectorahave Yndica[ed [hey would not object Sf the licensed premises were
located elsewhere in the co®unity of Redstone; that the Commissioners have determined, that whether or not
such objections are valid reasons for denial of a license, that the premiaea sought to be licensed isso
construe tad, located and designed ae to cause little if any inconvenience to the objectors, and is not
in such close proximity to their houses as to create any nuisance; that the premiaea are not conatruc tad,
designed or adapted to use as a nightclub, dance hall of, similar enterprise.
