Mounds View Planning Commission February 7, 2018 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />Commissioner Monn referred to the City of St. Paul’s liquor license language and stated she <br />supported the City of Mounds View not allowing liquor licenses to be adjacent to parks, licensed <br />childcare centers, libraries, and senior housing. She stated she wanted to keep liquor <br />establishments away from areas where children recreate. She provided further comment on the <br />number of youth drinking by 9th grade and encouraged the City to change their requirements. <br />City Planner/Supervisor Sevald reported the current liquor license language requires off-sale <br />liquor establishments to be 500 feet from Edgewood or Pinewood Schools and churches. He <br />explained that commercial childcare centers were easy for the City to identify, but noted private <br />childcare establishments were more difficult for the City to identify. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stevenson asked how many feet off-sale liquor establishments should be from <br />parks, licensed childcare centers and libraries. City Planner/Supervisor Sevald explained <br />Mounds View currently had two off-sale liquor stores and noted their location in the City. <br /> <br />Commissioner French suggested these off-sale liquor establishments be 500 feet from parks, <br />licensed childcare centers and libraries. <br /> <br />Chair Klebsch recommended the City Council set a maximum number of off-sale licenses for the <br />City. She believed that only three or four off-sale licenses should be allowed in Mounds View. <br /> <br />Commissioner Monn questioned if SuperAmerica was able to sell liquor during the overnight <br />hours. City Planner/Supervisor Sevald reported SuperAmerica had to follow the City’s off-sale <br />hours of operation, which prohibited liquor sales from 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. Monday through <br />Saturday. He noted the hours were different for Sunday. <br /> <br />Commissioner Farmer encouraged the Council to consider what type of restrictions they are <br />concerned about with respect to liquor stores. He urged the Council to verbalize what they were <br />trying to address or contain. <br /> <br />City Planner/Supervisor Sevald thanked the Commission for their input and noted he would pass <br />along the comments and concerns expressed this evening to the City Council. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />7.
