Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to grant an off-sale liquor license to
Lee Liquor LLC DBA Hopkins Liquor.
Overview
In accordance with City Code section 1200.28, the City Council will consider and allow for
public comment on the application of Lee Liquor LLC for an off-sale liquor license. Lee Liquor
LLC will be purchasing Hopkins Liquor at 712 11th Avenue South. The transaction closing date
is tentatively set for September 12. The liquor license will become effective upon the closing
and expire on June 30, 2017.
The Police Department reviewed the application for the off-sale liquor or tobacco license. The
background investigation on Chanmakara Lee has been completed. The Police Department
recommends approval of the license as requested. Mr. Lee will attend the meeting on Tuesday,
September 6.
Upon City Council approval of the liquor license request, the State application will be sent to the
Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division, for
certification and approval. Because there is already an existing license for the premise, a State
inspection of the site is not necessary.
