(G -Will Liquors) 3/5 As part of a new commercial development, WCR Liquors, Inc. is proposing to open an off - sale intoxicating liquor store called G -Will Liquors to be located at 865 Main Street. WCR Liquors, Inc. has submitted an application to the city requesting an On -Sale Liquor and Tobacco License. BACKGROUND The license applications have been reviewed by city staff and the related license fees have been paid. Since the facility is new construction, staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that certain license details will be provided before the facility opens, including the required liquor liability insurance coverage. The licenses themselves will not take effect until September 1, 2013. The Lino Lakes Police Department has conducted the required background investigation on the members of the corporation and reports no information that would prevent issuance of a liquor license. In accordance with the Lino Lakes Code of Ordinances, Section 701 relating to Liquor Licensing, the application requires approval by the City Council. The code also requires that opportunity shall be given to any person to be heard for or against the granting of the license. A representative of WCR Liquors, Inc. will be present at the council meeting. If local approval is granted, the application for an off -sale license will be forwarded to the Minnesota Alcohol & Gambling Enforcement Division for review and the applicant is aware that approval is subject to all the provisions and conditions of the laws of the city, state and federal government. RECOMMENDATION Approve Resolution No. 12 -135, Approving an Off -Sale Liquor and Tobacco License for WCR Liquors, Inc.
