The Planner noted that Gordies has an existing <br />CUP to allow commercial recreation activities along with alcohol service. <br />The previous permit required a line of spruce trees along the westerly <br />boundary, and limited outdoor activities to volleyball and boot hockey on <br />certain nights. The applicants wish to broaden their opportunities and seek <br />the ability to allow outdoor alcohol consumption in connection with the <br />events. They have proposed to replant one of the trees in the screening <br />area that did not survive. To accomplish what they are seeking, the <br />Planner indicated that the applicants are required to enclose the area from <br />the indoor bar service area and the entire facility where alcohol can be <br />consumed. The purpose of this state liquor regulation is to ensure that <br />customers cannot enter the facility in any way except through the bar area <br />
