Village Wine and Spirits will be the fourth license-holder in the Old Village, joining Twin Points Tavern, the Lake Elmo Wine Company and the Lake Elmo Inn. Dennis LaCroix, owner of Twin Points, is concerned with the number of off-sale licenses clustered in a one-block area and adding another would affect their business. Kimberly Ommerborn, owner of the Lake Elmo Wine Company, had concerns on the location itself and saturation of how much can be supported. She provided regulations from the City of St. Paul where one of the conditions for off-sale liquor license establishments must be at least one-half mile apart. Bill Wacker, 3603 Laverne, would like the neighbors notified of this application Richard Kosman, owner of the Village Wine and Spirits, stated in his opinion he would be attracting different cliental, customers would come outside the Lake Elmo area. Kosman estimated he had approximately 10 parking spots, five spots located in front of building. The length of time people park in the area while shopping, Kosman thought the parking area should be enough to accommodate customers.
