With the Adult Forum Social Club apparently close to making a deal with the city on its 20 citations for operating a business without a license, property owners at the club’s newest home are looking at 20 more this week – this time from the county.
County Investigator Jim Lanz met last week with the attorney for Ilyas Absar, owner of the property at 2670 Dryden Ave., about “moving the process along.”
Lanz said he plans to talk with Absar’s attorney again about setting a time to give Absar 20 citations dating back to Dec. 6, when the county was first alerted to the sex club’s presence on Dryden.
The citations, unlike those given to the club in Gilroy, would be directed at the owners of the property. Penalties for the citations will be $100 for each count, plus administrative costs at 180 percent of each fine – meaning $180 for each of the 20 citations given. Additional offenses would rise to $200 and then to $550, plus the administration costs.
Absar, who did not return phone calls, has reportedly begun the eviction process of Deena Luce’s club.
“I think he is,” County Supervisor Don Gage said. “At least that’s what he said. The problem is that he is in a long-term contract.”
Club owner Luce has a three-year lease on the property, said Lanz, who is hopeful Absar will continue to cooperate with the county.
Meanwhile, Gage, Lanz and Santa Clara County Sheriff’s met with nearly 50 frustrated neighbors last Monday night at the Family Worship Center in San Martin to hear their complaints and try to clear up any rumors.
