Consider Resolution 10 -19, Approving
On -Sale Liquor License with Sunday Sales
for Chomonix Golf Course
Simple Majority (3/5 Vote Required)
Chomonix Golf Course is located in the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve and is
owned by Anoka County and operated by their Parks and Recreation staff. The golf
course has long held a 3.2 on -sale beer license issued through the city that allows the
sale of beverages in their club house and from a beverage cart traveling throughout the
course. County staff contacted the city with interest in upgrading the course's license to
allow them to serve strong beer in order that they remain competitive in the golf course
business.
Upon review of state and local liquor license regulations, staff found that the golf course
would not qualify for a state issued wine license that is required to allow the sale of
strong beer. The County then inquired about the possibility of obtaining an on -sale
intoxicating liquor license (allowing the sale of all types of alcoholic beverages). After
some research and an inspection of the premises by the state liquor inspector, staff has
been informed by the state that the Chomonix facility qualifies as a restaurant under the
state's guidelines thereby qualifying them to apply for an on -sale intoxicating liquor
license.
An application for an On -Sale Liquor License with Sunday Sales has been submitted by
Anoka County Golf Course and Aquatics Manager Cori Hinz. The application received
by the city is complete and the related fees have been paid, including investigation fees.
Insurance information has been provided to the City as required.
The Lino Lakes Police Department has conducted a background investigation relative to
this application and found no information on the principal applicant that would give a
specific reason to deny the application.
• In accordance with the Lino Lakes Code of Ordinances, Section 701 relating to Liquor
Licensing, this 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. The council may then, in its discretion, grant or refuse the application.
The applicant is aware that approval is subject to all the provisions and conditions of the
laws of the city, state and federal government.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve Resolution No. 10 -19
2. Deny Resolution No. 10 -19
