Clausen with Vintage Liquors, speaking as a 20 year resident of Chanhassen, stated he does not

Chanhassen as one of the top places in the country to live and raise a family. Dan Keyport,
1073 Falls Curve, Chaska and owner of Dolce Vita Wine Shop in Chaska stated another aspect
for the council to consider would be the integrity of the applicant and his belief that they do not
