Council Member <br />Charles Kelley was absent. Representing Staff were City Administrator Ron Moorse, City Attorney <br />Tom Barrett, Planner /Zoning Administrator Elizabeth Van Zomeren, Senior Planning Coordinator <br />Michael Gaffron, Assistant Zoning Administrator Paul Weinberger, City Engineer Tom Kellogg, and <br />Recorder Jackie Young. <br />Mayor Jabbour called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. <br />( #1) 7:00 P.M. - PUBLIC HEARING, 7:01 P.M. - 7:04 p.m. <br />On Sale and Sunday Liquor License - Spring Hill Golf Club at 725 Sixth Avenue North <br />City Administrator Ron Moorse stated that the Spring Hill Golf Club is requesting an On Sale and <br />Sunday Intoxicating Liquor License. Although an on sale liquor license is usually issued to a <br />• restaurant open to the general public, the State Liquor Control Commission has indicated it is <br />possible to consider club members and their guests to be the general public for purposes of the <br />liquor license. Private golf clubs generally obtain a "Club" liquor license; however, a club license <br />requires the private golf club to be in existence for a minimum of three years. The Spring Hill <br />Golf Club will not meet this requirement until the year 2000. <br />Moorse indicated all the required reviews have been completed. The Police Department has also <br />completed their background investigation and has indicated no objections to granting the license. <br />City Attorney Barrett commented Orono's ordinance is identical to State Statutes regulating <br />liquor licenses and he is willing to accept the State Liquor Control Commission's interpretation of <br />that statute. <br />Mayor Jabbour noted that the Spring Hill Golf Club will be required to obtain a "Club" liquor license <br />after three years. <br />There were no public comments. <br />Flint commented that it should be understood that Spring Hill Golf Club will obtain a "Club" liquor <br />license once eligible. <br />Flint moved, Peterson seconded, to approve the application of Spring Hill Club for an <br />On Sale and Sunday Intoxicating Liquor License at 725 Sixth Avenue North. <br />VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />( #2) This item follows Item #8. <br />L J <br />Page 1 <br />3 <br />
