CR 99-200 On-Sale Wine & On-Sale 3.2% Beer Licenses for Cafe Michelangelo
October 28, 1999
Council Report 99-200
On-sale Wine and On-sale 3.2% Beer licenses for
Cafe Michelangelo
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Approve an on-sale wine and
on-sale 3.2 beer license for Cafe Michelanqelo. located at 802 Mainstreet.
This will allow Cafe Michelangelo to begin selling wine, 3.2 beer and strong beer
with meals.
Overview
In August, Council approved a wine and strong beer license for Cafe Michelangelo.
After that approval, the officer of the corporation that applied for the license asked
that the application be put on hold because the corporate partners were having
problems. Since that time, I have received a letter signed by both of the partners
indicating that the corporate structure as well as the corporate ownership of the
business has changed. According to the City Code, this requires a new application
and approval. Because no additional investigation was required, no additional fees
were assessed.
Primary Issues to Consider
State Statute and City Code state that the holder of an on-sale wine license who is
also licensed to sell 3.2 percent malt liquors at on-sale and whose gross receipts
are at least 60 percent attributable to the sale of food, may sell intoxicating malt
liquors at on-sale without an additional license. The on-sale 3.2 beer license in
conjunction with the wine license will allow the restaurant to also sell strong beer.
The Hopkins Police Department approved the application. The applicant has
submitted a certificate of insurance showing liquor liability insurance.
