Mounds View City Council June 8, 2015 <br />Regular Meeting Page 8 <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Crane reported staff was working to amend City Code to allow <br />brewpubs, taprooms and microbreweries. She stated while reviewing the City Code, staff found <br />that there were several areas in the City that were not allowed to have a liquor license. She <br />commented that microbreweries would not be allowed within 500 feet of any church or school. <br />She stated this would limit the locations of brewpubs, taprooms and microbreweries. She <br />requested feedback from the Council on how to proceed with this matter and asked if the Council <br />was in favor of allowing the sale of growlers. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller questioned why the City had a 500 foot separation requirement for <br />liquor establishments from schools and churches. City Administrator Ericson reported this <br />requirement dated back many years and the intent was to provide a separation of the uses. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn was in favor of reducing the 500 feet requirement or making it from door <br />to door, rather than property line to property line. <br /> <br />The Council was in agreement changing this language to read 500 feet from door to door. There <br />was Council consensus to allow for the sale of growlers on Sundays. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Crane thanked the Council for their input. She reported she would <br />continue to work on amending City Code. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ericson reported the Council had a Special City Council meeting at Fire <br />Station No. 3 on Tuesday, June 9 th . <br /> <br />City Administrator Ericson indicated the League of Minnesota Cities Conference would be held <br />in Duluth, Minnesota, June 24-26, 2015. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ericson explained that the redevelopment tour would be held on Monday, <br />June 29 th at 4:45 p.m. He encouraged all Councilmembers to attend this event. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Erickson noted seal coating of Areas A, B and C would begin on June 9 th . <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty welcomed Public Works Director Erickson to the City of Mounds View. <br /> <br />C.
