F <br />Request for Council Action contimied <br />Page 2 <br />March 16, 1999 <br />Spring Hill Golf Club Request for On Sale and Sunday Intoxicating Liquor License at 725 Sixth <br />Avenue North <br />Although an on sale liquor license is to be issued to a restaurant open to the general public, the State <br />Liquor Control Commission has indicated it may be possible to consider club members and their <br />guests to be the general public for purposes of the liquor license. It appears that this has been the <br />case with other private golf clubs recently constructed in the metro area. <br />The Police Department has completed their background investigation and has indicated no <br />objections to granting the license. <br />Fees of $2,600.00 have been paid including: $500.00 for the initial investigation; $2,000.00 as one- <br />half of the on sale liquor license; and $100.00 as one-half of the Sunday liquor license. Section 5.03, <br />Subd. 2 of the City Code allows the fees to be pro-rated on the basis of l/12th for each calendar <br />month. Based on the remaining license period of March 22, 1999 to December 31, 1999, the <br />remaining fees to be paid are $1,050.00. <br />$4,200 (total annual fee for on sale and Sunday license) ^ 12 (months) = $350 <br />$ 350 (fee per month) x 9 (months remaining in 1999) = $,3 150 <br />$3,150 (total due for 1999 license period) - $2,100 (paid with imtial application) = $1,050 <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Although the Clubhouse is still under constmction. Municipal Code Section 4.02, Subd. 4 (B) allows <br />the Council to grant the license and withhold its issuance until the premises have been completed. <br />Per the Building Inspector, the Clubhouse is near completion. The license fee is due as of the date <br />the license is granted. <br />Staff recommends approval of the On Sale and Sunday Intoxicating Liquor License application for <br />Spring Hill Golf Club, 725 Sixth Avenue North, for the period of March 22, 1999 through December <br />31,1999, with final fees of $1,050.00 to be paid to the City prior to issuance of the license. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Motion to approve or deny the application of Spring Hill Golf Club for an On Sale and Sunday <br />Intoxicating Liquor License at 725 Sixth Avenue North. <br />----.-I .j .
