FRANK BOYLES, CITY MANAGER
CONSIDER SETTING A HEARING D
ORDINANCE AMENDMENT TO REVIS
ON AND OFF SALE LIQUOR
MAY 17, 1993
Present Prior Lake City Code provides that
On-Sale liquor may be sold in a restaurant no
earlier than 12:00 Noon on Sundays. Off-Sale
liquor may be sold no later than 8:00 p.m.
Monday thru Thursday. Ray Lemley, Sr., of the
Hollywood Bar and Grill, has requested that the
Council consider modifying the ordinance to
allow liquor service in restaurants commencing
at 10:00 a.m. rather than noon on Sunday. Mr.
Lemley is requesting that the Prior Lake City
Code be revised to allow for Off-sale liquor
sales until 10:00 p.m. Monday thru Thursday.
o DISCUSS AN
URS OF SALE FOR
I have discussed these issues with the Liquor
Committee. The Committee finds no reason to
oppose such an ordinance amendment since it
provides the opportunity for local businesses
to extend their hours if they desire. It also
places them on equal footing with other retail
establishments in the immediate area. (See
attached letter.)
The City Council has
alternatives to consider:
the
following
1. Adopt the attached Resolution
establishing Monday, June 7 as a
public hearing date to consider
this ordinance amendment.
2. Direct staff to obtain additional
information prior to setting a
public hearing date.
3. Take no action which would
eliminate the possibility of
amending the existing ordinance.

SUBJECT: CITY LIQUOR ORDINANCE
Dear Mr. Boyles:
Item One: Would like to have the off-sale hours, Monday through Thursday, extended to
10:00 p.m, instead of8:00 p.m. required by City Ordinance to correspond with our
surrounding communities and state law. These communities close at 10:00 p.m, Monday
through Saturday -- New Prague, Jordan, Lakeville, Apple Valley, Shakopee and Mystic
Lake.
Item Two: Would like also to change the Sunday serving time of 12:00 Noon to 10:00
a,m. serving time for a full service food and restaurant because of Sunday brunch, These
communities serve at 10:00 a.m. full food restaurants: Lakeville, Bloomington,
Burnsville, Egan and Apple Valley,
I have discussed this with the on and off sale owners and seven agree to the 10:00 p.m.
closing time, I have also discussed this with the Chief of Police, Dick Powell, and he saw
no problem with the change, I have also discussed this with all of the council members of
the above hour changes and found it to be favorable.
We appreciate your time and consideration on these changes.
Sincerely,
---~f<t1~l~'
