A PUBLIC HEARING ON A REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR AN OFF-SALE LIQUOR STORE AT 1559 WEST LARPENTEUR AVE. IN A B-2 ZONE - ADVERTISED IN THE 1/24/90 FOCUS NEWSPAPER SUBKITTID BY• Mr. James Kettner, Proposed Proprietor and Tenant Mr. Dennis Hunt, Property Owner EEVIEiTED BY: Susan Hoyt Taff, City Planner l~Ld?lATZOA/SDl4SARY (attach additional sheets as necessary): INFTRODtJCTION Mr. James Kettner, on behalf of the property owner Mr. Dennis Hunt, is requesting the Planning Commission to grant a conditional use permit for an off-sale liquor store at 1557 West Larpenteur Avenue (see Attachment A). Section 9-10.01, Subdivision 2(0) of the Zoning Code requires a conditional use permit for an off-sale liquor store in a B-2 Zore. Mr. Kettner plans to lease the vacant 1,977 square foot retail space in the west end of the Bullseye Shopping Center from the leasing agent, the Calhoun Company. He will be the proprietor of the store. A diagram of the interior store layout is attached (Attachment B). Mr. Kettner will operate the store with four to six part-time employees. The proposed hours of operation are: Monday thru Friday 8:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. Saturday 8:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. Sunday Closed BACRC~OOTID You may recall that in May, 1989 Mr. Dennis Hunt requested a conditional use permit for a portion of this building for an off-sale liquor store with the possible addition of a deli/restaurant in the remaining space. Mr. Hunt's request did not proceed because he failed to pay his 1989 taxes on this property, which is a requirement for getting a municipal liquor license. These taxes are still outstanding. However, a recent City Council action allows a tenant in a building where the property taxes are delinquent to qualify for a municipal liquor license. (For example, the proprietor of the Chinatown Restaurant in the Bullseye Shopping Center renewed her wine license this year despite the delinquent taxes on the property.) Therefore, to the best of the City's knowledge to date, Mr. Kettner is eligible for a municipal liquor license. However, he cannot lease the vacant space for an off-sale liquor store operation without the City's approval of it as a conditional use. And, as you are well aware, a conditional use permit rests permanently with the property--not the proprietor of the store. Therefore, Mr. Kettner's request is made with the consent of the property owner, Mr. Hunt.
