340A.412, subd. 4(a)(5) would prohibit the issuance of the license application
because of its proximity to the National Guard Armory building, a portion of which
is leased for the operation of the WIC program.
Administrator Schroeder highlighted the City Attorney's opinion as outlined in a
June 8 letter from Corrine Thomson. The limitation imposed by Minnesota
Statutes is not applicable to the premises at 8118 Hadley Avenue South and the
City Council would not be prohibited from issuing a liquor license for that
premise. The WIC program operated in the National Guard Building is not an
"institution" under the supervision or control of the commissioner of human
services.
MOTION BY HALE, SECONDED BY SHIELY, TO AUTHORIZE ISSUANCE OF
AN "OFF SALE" INTOXICATING LIQUOR LICENSE TO CHEROKEE LIQUORS,
INC., D.B.A. COTTAGE GROVE LIQUORS, 8118 HADLEY AVENUE SOUTH,
UPON COMPLIANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING:
1. THE OFF-SALE LICENSE SHALL BE ISSUED ONLY UPON SURRENDER
OF THE EXISTING LICENSE ISSUED TO DAVID L. WROLSTAD; AND
2. THE NEWLY ISSUED LICENSE SHALL TERMINATE UPON THE OPENING
OF THE NEW G-WILL LIQUOR ESTABLISHMENT.
• MOTION CARRIED. 3-0.
