Mr. Arthur Winton, Attorney for the Pickin' Chicken Restaurant, 17 I2�4�6 -2- was present to appeal the Planning Boards denial of their application for use variance to permit a beer and wine license at the restaurant. It was Mr. Wintonfs contention that the State Law authorized a restaurant having 4000 sq. ft. of floor space and having seating capacity for 20.0 or more, to serve alcoholic beverages to its patrons. Mr. Markel stated that according to the plan file the total square foot area of this restaurant is only 2988 sq. ft.
