S. F: r:
CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum CONSENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Judith S. Cox, City Clerk~
SUBJECT: Request to Amend On-Sale Liquor Licenses - EI Toro of Shako pee, Inc.
DATE: April 30, 2009
INTRODUCTION:
City Council is asked to consider the request ofEl Toro Mexican Restaurant to amend their On Sale
and Sunday On Sale Liquor Licenses to include an outdoor seating area.
BACKGROUND:
EI Toro of Shakopee, Inc. db aiEl Toro Mexican Restaurant holds both an on-sale and a Sunday on-
sale liquor license. They have submitted a letter asking that their licenses be expanded to include a
proposed outdoor seating area. The outdoor seating area will be immediately adjacent to the north
side of the building with access from the existing vestibule. Patrons would enter the vestibule from
the west and would proceed to the right to enter the restaurant or to the left to access the outdoor
seating area. The outdoor seating area would be surrounded by a 42" decorative iron railing. The
expansion of the liquor licenses would allow for the service and consumption of alcohol within the
outdoor seating area.
The Fire Inspector advises that the proposed 42" decorative iron railing surrounding the outdoor
seating area does not require a second exit, according to the revised plan dated April 23, 2009. The
revised plan is acceptable to the Shakopee Fire Department and they have no additional concerns
with the request.
The Police Department advises of no issues from their position that should prevent the expansion of
the liquor license to an outdoor seating area.
The Planning Department has reviewed the request and has no objections and if approved by the
City Council they will work with the licensee on the fence permit application.
City Council has previously amended the liquor licenses to include outside consumption of alcohol
for a number of establishments within the community. In all cases the outside area is screened and
access is from the interior of the building. The outdoor seating area for EI Toro is contiguous to the
licensed restaurant which qualifies for an extension of the license to the outside area. Council may
impose any conditions on the outdoor seating area, if desired.
