• MEMORANDUM TO: Bruce Kessel FROM: Scott Riggs DATE: March 20, I998 RE: Necessary Changes to Permit Beer Garden Bruce: Per your request, here is a summary memorandum of the issues involved and/or changes necessary to permit a "beer garden" on City park property. Please note that I have also briefly discussed this matter with Chuck Whiting. In order to facilitate the Festival-in-the-Park "beer garden," changes to the following Municipal • Code sections appear to be required, depending upon what type of license the event sponsor desires: Code Section 909.07, Subd. 11 would have to be modified to permit alcoholic beverages in whatever City park is to be utilized for the event. The City's Code Section 50 no longer 50103, Subd. 3, as to temporary non-intoxicating [this term is permitted by state statute and should be changed to "3.2 percent malt liquor." see Minn. Stat. § 340A.411. Subd. 3] license would have to be possibly modified as to the length of time the entity requesting the license has been in existence (a requirement not found in state statute) and possibly as to the location of the event. See Minn. Stat. § 340A.403. Subd. 2]. Code Section 502.03. Subd. 6. as to a temporary intoxicating liquor special event license would have to be modified possibly as to the location of the event. Please note however, that the length of time the entity requesting this license has been in existence cannot be less than three (3) years for this license based upon the City Code and state statute. See Minn. Stat. § 340A.404, Subd. 101. This section also permits a licensee to contract for intoxicating liquor catering services. Depending upon the location of the event, Code Section 502.15, as to zoning restrictions. 1111/ SJR16o2n7 *rt1125-b5 S2 -d 90/Zo'd 9517-1 alEB1EEZt9 N3AYND V Aa3NN3N-word wd25: a 96-0Z—JEy
