SUBJECT: LIQUOR LICENSE APPLICATION
INTRODUCTION
All locations within the City of Cottage Grove that sell alcoholic beverages are required by State Law
and City Ordinance to be licensed.
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to City Ordinance, Mr. William C. Rademacher, dba Cherokee Liquors Inc., having purchased
Cottage Grove Liquors, located at 8115 Belden Blvd., Cottage Grove, Minnesota, will continue
operating under the name Cottage Grove Liquors, until the opening of the new operation G. Will
Liquors, located at 8118 Hadley Avenue, has submitted an application for an "Off Sale" intoxicating
liquor license. The Department of Public Safety is required to conduct a police investigation of the
applicants.
DISCUSSION
The premises located at 8118 Hadley Avenue South, Cottage Grove, Minnesota, is still under
construction and has not been inspected. The recommendation to approve the proposed "Off Sale"
intoxicating liquor license is conditional upon the issuance of an occupancy permit by the City.
We have i�vestigated the applicants and have not found any facts which would constitute a basis for
denial of an "Off Sale" intoxicating liquor license, under the provisions of the City Liquor Ordinance or
Minnesota Statutes relating to alcoholic beverages.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommend that the City Council approve the Liquor License application for Cherokee Liquors, Inc. for
an Off Sale �iquor License, with the understanding that Cherokee Liquors, Inc. dba/Cottage Grove
Liquors will become void with the opening of the new operation G. Will Liquors located at 8118 Hadley
