being any tables. Mr. Zucconi explained that the site would have a counter and stools that would allow customers
to sit and have a beer or glass of wine. The wine racks would be located in the customer area along the wall.
Commissioner Honan asked what the ABC type 41 license allows. Mr. Zucconi stated that it allows on-site
consumption and off-premise sales also. The Commission felt that they needed to visualize the setup inside the
deli and requested that the applicant supply this information to them with dimensions on the plans.

The Commission asked that the Police Department liaison explain what their view on the application is. Sergeant
Mike Newell noted that a small establishment is easy to police and it is easy to monitor by ABC representatives.
The Police Department is not in support of the wine tasting aspect because it will become similar to a bar and they
are cautious to approve bar like scenarios.
Mr. Zucconi noted that he wanted to work with the Commission and be an honest businessman in San Mateo
County. He does not want to have tables in the establishment because this allows for groups to set up and for
crowdedness.
