Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 925, an Ordinance Amending <br />Title 500, Chapter 502 to add Micro Breweries, National Breweries, Regional <br />Breweries, Brewpubs, Distilled Spirits, Microdistilleries and Taprooms <br />Business Licensing to the Liquor Code. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Crane requested the Council introduce an Ordinance amending Title <br />500 adding microbreweries, national breweries, regional breweries, brewpubs, distilled spirits, <br />micro distilleries and taprooms to the business licensing within the liquor code. She explained <br />she was continuing to research the tasting requirements for distilleries. She recommended two <br />separate liquor licenses be required for a single establishment with a brewery and distillery. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding the property line setback requirements for liquor establishments <br />within the community. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause discussed Page 9, Sub Item B and asked if the 200 feet <br />requirement should only be if a school was located in a business district. He recommended the <br />same requirement remain in place for churches. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn noted there was a school operation in the business district in Mounds <br />View that was currently located adjacent to a restaurant that served liquor. City Administrator <br />Ericson reported the Council and staff could continue to hold a discussion on how setback <br />requirements were measured to ensure the proper setbacks were being met. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty recommended the setback language be changed back to entry way to entry way <br />and not read from property line to property line. <br /> <br />The Council was in favor of adjusting the setback requirements from Pinewood and Edgewood to <br />500 feet from door to door. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn requested the Council turn to Page 16 of the Ordinance and questioned <br />why brewers or distillers were not allowed to own their own equipment. City Administrator <br />Ericson clarified that this portion of the Ordinance was referring to gambling equipment and not <br />brewing or distillery equipment. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty discussed the hours of sales allowed and asked if Sunday sales would be allowed. <br />City Administrator Ericson indicated the consensus of Council was to allow for the sale of <br />growlers on Sunday.
