Manson <br />The ownership of Thunder I3ay Plaza and Round Lake Plaza is currently working on plans to <br />renovate these complexes. Part of the renovation involves preparing a space for a tenant that <br />would like to be located at the east end of Thunder Bay Plaza. A portion of this space is <br />currently occupied by The hookah Hideout. The plan would be to then relocate The I lookah <br />I Iideout to space in Round Lake Plaza. <br />David Nelson, Hookah Hideout, has requested clarification that this move will not impact his <br />Tobacco Store License. I have attached a copy of the Tobacco Ordinance which has a provision <br />stating that the sampling exemption applies to licenses that were in effect at their current location <br />for at least six months prior to enactment of the exemption provisions. As a result, staff is <br />requesting clarification of this issue. Stair is recommending that given Hookah Hideout would <br />be relocating within the same complex and at the request of ownership to facilitate of renovation <br />of this complex, their current license would remain in effect with the exemption provisions still <br />in effect. <br />1 <br />
