(d.b.a. The Mermaid) to Mounds View Bowling, Inc., (d.b.a. Mermaid Lanes) located at 2200 County Highway 10 Section 502.08 of the City Code requires that a public hearing be held prior to any intoxicating liquor license. The City of Mounds View issued an on-sale intoxicating liquor license for The Mermaid on June 30, 2006. The Mermaid will change ownership from Dan Hall (Moundsvista, Inc.) to a Michael and Matthew Anderson (Mounds View Bowling, Inc.) on or about April 12, 2007. Mounds View Bowling, Inc., has submitted the city liquor license application materials (to include the application to stay open until 2am per Ordinance 717), and the applicable fees. The notice of this public hearing was sent out to residences within a 350 feet radius, and the Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Mounds View/New Brighton Bulletin. The following investigations and inspections have been conducted to determine whether there is cause for the City to deny any of the above referenced intoxicating liquor license application: Police Inquiry and Investigations The report has not come back from the Minnesota Department of Criminal Apprehension for Michael and Matthew Anderson. The Intoxicating liquor license will be pending a satisfactory report from this agency. . Utility Billing Inquiry (City of Mounds View) The Mermaid does owe the City of Mounds View $1,533.74. This transfer of liquor license will not be processed unless this payment is made in full. Fire Inspection (City of Mounds View Fire Marshal) The City’s Fire Marshal has inspected the location currently called The Mermaid and issued a satisfactory report. However, the establishment will be re-inspected when the transferring of building ownership is finalized in April. Recommendation Staff recommends opening the Public Hearing for Public Comment. In addition, Staff approves the transfer of ownership from Dan Hall (Moundsvista, Inc.) to a Michael and Matthew Anderson (Mounds View Bowling, Inc.) pending the payment of the utility bill and a satisfactory report from the Minnesota Department of Criminal Apprehension. The establishment will have another fire inspection when the building ownership is finalized. Respectfully Submitted Desaree M. Crane
