BACKGROUND <br />Number of Licenses Allowed by State Law <br />The state statute 340A allows a city the size of Lino Lakes to issue seven on -sale liquor <br />licenses. This is based on our population at the last census. The statute allows a city to <br />exceed the limit of seven if the city puts it to the voters in a general or special election. <br />(340A.413 Subd. 3) <br />However, the number of licenses increases when the decennial census shows that a city's <br />population crosses the 10,000 threshold. After the year 2000 census, Lino Lakes will be <br />able to issue a total of 12 liquor licenses. <br />Beyond the population -based limit on liquor licenses, a city can issue additional licenses <br />to clubs and veterans organizations. Wine licenses also are outside of the limit. <br />(340A.413 Subd. 4) There is no limit imposed by state statute on the number of these <br />additional licenses. Nor is there any limit imposed by state statute on the number of off - <br />sale licenses in Lino Lakes. The City could go beyond the statute and establish its own <br />limits by ordinance. <br />Existing Permits <br />Lino Lakes has issued four on -sale liquor licenses and five off -sale liquor licenses. <br />Miller's <br />Shirley Kaye's <br />49 Club <br />VFW <br />J & K Liquors <br />Lakes Liquor <br />Lake Drive and Main St <br />Lake Drive and Hodgson Rd. <br />Hodgson Rd. and Ash St. /Co Rd J. <br />Lake Drive (club license) <br />Lake Drive and Hodgson Rd. <br />Lake Drive and Lois Lane <br />On -sale <br />Liquor <br />License <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />Off -Sale <br />Liquor <br />License <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />X <br />The City can issue four more on -sale liquor licenses.
