CARY – The village wants rules to help Coleman’s in the Park operate next to its residential neighbors, but voted against establishing an agreement with the bar Tuesday night, saying it favored rules through its liquor license ordinance.

The proposed agreement – defeated on a 4-2 vote – would have regulated sports activities and amplified music at the bar.

Board members said they prefer to change to the Class “I” liquor license ordinance to allow amplified music and possibly recreational activities such as volleyball or basketball, but with restrictions on hours.
