CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: MAY 16, 2011
AGENDA #: 51
PREPARED BY: JANET RINGBERG, LICENSE CLERK
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A TEMPORARY LIQUOR LICENSE EXTENSION
FOR THE BASEMENT BAR & GRILL
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider approval of a temporary extension
of the on -sale intoxicating liquor license held by The Basement Bar & Grill for Sat-
urday, July 23, 2011.
History
The Basement Bar & Grill currently has an on -sale intoxicating liquor license
which allows them to sell liquor on the premises of their restaurant and bar, lo-
cated at 16691 Highway 13 South. The Basement Bar & Grill has held this li-
cense since 2008.
Current Circumstances
The Basement Bar & Grill is planning an event to commemorate their third anni-
versary. This anniversary celebration will be held on Saturday, July 23, 2011 from
7:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. It will take place within a fenced area on the northeast
and northwest sides of their building and a live band will perform from 7:00 to 11
p.m. The fenced -in area will not impact traffic flow on old Toronto. The City has
approved the outdoor event permit required for the live band. A temporary exten-
sion of the liquor license premise will allow them to sell liquor in the fenced -in area
for this event. The only access to the outdoor area would be through the building
on the northeast side, as required by City Ordinance Section 301.1500. Only a
service bar will be allowed in the outdoor area. The Basement Bar & Grill plans to
have employees and security personnel working at this event to ensure liquor is
not sold to minors and that it is consumed in the licensed area only.
Conclusion
The Police Department has reviewed the application to ensure that all require-
ments and issues concerning compliance and public safety have been met.
FINANCIAL The Basement Bar & Grill has paid the $200.00 outdoor event permit fee and the
IMPACT: $75.00 temporary liquor license extension fee for this event.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve a temporary liquor license extension for The Basement Bar & Grill for
Saturday, July 23, 2011.
2. Deny the license request.
RECOMMENDED Alternative #1.
