Memo to Mayor and City Council/CU 00-8 <br />March 30, 2000 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />on-sale liquor license (sale of all types of liquor and beer) <br />beer license (3.2 or strong) <br />on-sale wine license (wine only) <br />consumption and display (for set-ups, patrons bring their own bottle of liquor) <br /> <br />Currently, the Elk River Country Club holds a license for wine, 3.2 and strong beer, and <br />setups. An establishment needs to obtain a wine and 3.2 beer license before obtaining <br />a strong beer license. Such licenses have been issued to the Club for several years. <br /> <br />Nature's Hideaway is proposing to take over the restaurant and catering services at the <br />club. They would like to expand the liquor license to an on-sale license for the sale of <br />all forms of liquor. While no expansion of the building is proposed, the expansion of the <br />liquor license to on-sale is an intensification of the use on the site, and staff felt it <br />appropriate for the Planning Commission and City Council to review the request. <br /> <br />The Police department reviewed this request and had no negative comments. The <br />applicant will be expected to comply with the City's licensing requirements on an annual <br />basis. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Action <br /> <br />A public hearing was conducted; no one spoke for or against the request. The Planning <br />Commission unanimously recommended that the City Council approve the request to <br />allow on-sale liquor at the Elk River Country Club with the following condition: <br /> <br />1. The applicant shall comply with the City's liquor licensing requirements. <br /> <br />The Commission felt that the following condition was too onerous; to have the <br />applicant's request tied to property owner's responsibilities was unfair. <br /> <br />The property owner shall comply with the conditions of all previous <br />conditional use permits. <br /> <br />City Council Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Planning Commission <br />recommendation and approve the request for an on-sale liquor license for Nature's <br />Hideaway at the Elk River Country Club with the following condition: <br /> <br />1. The applicant shall comply with the City's liquor licensing requirements. <br /> <br /> <br />
