The Palatine Village Council denied a liquor license for the wife of a man, Muhammad Amjad, who was convicted of selling stolen alcohol and who has had his village liquor license revoked in the past because of that conviction, according to the Daily Herald. The village council believed Amjad was trying to skirt the village's requirements by "gifting" his store Quick Liquor, 2387 N. Hicks Road, to his wife, Sadia Amjad, who applied for the liquor license, according to the Daily Herald. Palatine village code does not allow liquor licenses to be issued to someone who has been convicted of "any federal or state law concerning the manufacture, possession or sale of liquor," according to the article.

The Village of Council rejected the proposal to open a tattoo parlor in Verde Plaza at 2001 N. Rand Road.
“Basically, I was just discriminated against because I have tattoos and the people I would employ and serve have tattoos.” Al Brodeur said after the Village of Palatine Council denied his request to open a tattoo parlor on Rand Road Monday night. “It is ignorance,” Brodeur said, “They have some dreamland as to what Palatine is supposed to be and it’s not, just look around.” In a 3-2 vote the Village Council shot down Brodeur’s proposal to open Chicagoland Electric Tattoo in Verde Plaza at 2001 N. Rand Road, next to the City Limits Harley Davidson motorcycle dealership. “This isn’t the kind of business Palatine needs, it’s nothing against the petitioner,” Councilman Greg Solberg said, “I just don’t think it reflects well on the people of …

Challenges include pending proposal from IDOT that would affect livelihood of Palatine businesses and ensuring current land uses are compatible throughout the areas.
Palatine officials are opposed to a proposal by the state to install a raised median on Dundee Road between Rand Road and Route 53 that would limit access to businesses. The potential median was discussed in a report during Monday’s Village Council meeting on some of the challenges that the Rand and Dundee Road commercial corridors are facing. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has jurisdiction over the area and has proposed the median. If the proposal were to move forward, businesses on the north and south sides of Dundee Road could be seriously affected. “We are very concerned about what this proposal would do as far as cutting off access to businesses up and down Dundee,” said Mike Jacobs, deputy village manager. Several …

The Palatine Village Council voted 4 to 3 against a plan for a Starbucks with a drive-thru near Northwest Highway and Smith Street.
Plans for a Starbucks drive-thru near Northwest Highway and Smith Street were rejected Tuesday by the Palatine Village Council. "It was purely safety," said District 6 Council member Brad Helms, referring to traffic conerns that were raised about the project. Although the vote rejected the drive-thru, Starbucks still could locate in the planned stripmall. Dean Klein, director of Global Development, said he did not know if Starbucks would go forward without a drive-thru. "The absence of a drive-thru makes this project less desirable," Klein said. "It would definitely detract from the appeal of this location." The vote was 4 to 3 with Palatine Mayor Jim Schwantz casting the deciding vote. The decision pleased supporters of Norma's Coffee …
