In a recent government meeting, the board reviewed an application for a new Class B beer, wine, and liquor license submitted by Dunley Z for Westlight LLC, located at 6212 Ridge Road, Mount Airy. The application is notable as it represents the third license sought by Mr. Zhang Li Xi in Carroll County, where he currently holds two other licenses without any reported violations.

During the proceedings, it was noted that the applicant had only one witness present, with two additional witnesses expected to arrive shortly. The board emphasized the requirement for three witnesses to support the application. Despite this oversight, the applicant's representative, David F. Mister, expressed confidence in the establishment's compliance with local regulations, citing positive evaluations from the planning and health departments.

The board accepted a comprehensive file of supporting documents into evidence, which included character references, financial records, and operational plans. The meeting underscored the importance of adhering to procedural requirements while also highlighting Mr. Z's track record of lawful operation in the county. The board's decision on the application is pending the arrival of the additional witnesses.
