Hanson <br />The City of Little Canada has received the attached request for an amendment to the City Code <br />to provide for an additional On -Sale Liquor License. The current Liquor Code provides for five <br />On -Sale Liquor Licenses and two On -Sale Restaurant Licenses (see ordinance attached). The <br />five On -Sale Licenses are issued to Bradys, Gordies, Hoggsbreath, The Little Venetian (would <br />not meet On -Sale Restaurant standards in Code), and Saxon Lanes. One On -Sale Restaurant <br />License is taken by Porterhouse Steak and Seafood Restaurant. Therefore, the City has one On - <br />Sale Restaurant License available. <br />As you may recall, when the category of On -Sale Restaurant License were established, the City <br />provided for this seventh license in order to attract an upscale restaurant to the City. <br />With regard to the number of liquor licenses that Little Canada is allowed under State Statute, a <br />city of our size is allowed six On -Sale Licenses and can issue an unlimited number of On -Sale <br />Restaurant Licenses (see State Statute attached). You may also recall that in 1987, the City of <br />Little Canada was authorized two additional On -Sale Licenses as well. Therefore, the total of <br />On -Sale Licenses authorized by State Statute would be eight plus an additional unlimited number <br />of On -Sale Restaurant Licenses. <br />With regard to the request received by the City, the Council has the following options: <br />o Amend the Liquor Code to increase the number of On -Sale Liquor Licenses; <br />o Amend the Liquor Code to convert the available On -Sale Restaurant License to an <br />On -Sale Liquor License; <br />o Amend the Liquor Code revising the On -Sale Restaurant License requirements to <br />meet the needs of this applicant; <br />o Deny the request to amend the Liquor Code. <br />1 <br />
