(Report dated June 10, 1998, addressed to Toronto Community Council, from the Acting Assistant Director,
By-law Administration and Enforcement, City Works Services.)
Subject:Shoxs Billard Lounge - Operation of the Boulevard Cafe at 2827 Dundas Street West (Davenport)
Purpose:
To report on the operation of the boulevard cafe at 2827 Dundas Street West as requested by City Council at its
meeting of April 16, 1998.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.
Recommendation:
That the temporary licence for the boulevard cafe fronting 2827 Dundas Street West be extended to the end of the
1998 cafe season under the present terms and conditions and I be requested to report back after the end of the 1998
cafe season on the operation of the cafe.
Background:
City Council, at it=s meeting of April 16, 1998, granted permission for the applicant to erect a temporary patio
subject to:
(1)the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services reporting to the meeting to be held by the Toronto
Community Council on June 24, 1998, on any problems with the establishment at 2827 Dundas Street West;
(2)the owners being prohibited from playing music on the patio or having any music emanating from within the
cafe;
(3)the patio being closed and cleared by 11:00 p.m.; and
(4)the owners installing and maintaining garbage and recycling receptacles.
Comments:
A temporary cafe licence (expiry date June 31, 1998) for the cafe at 2827 Dundas Street West was issued to Mr.
Konstantinos (Gus) Koutoumanos on May 25, 1998. Although Mr. Koutoumanos has erected his cafe fence, he has
not operated the cafe due to cool weather conditions.
Conclusions:
Given that the cafe has not operated to-date and the temporary licence will expire on June 30, 1998, it may be
appropriate to issue a temporary cafe licence until the end of the 1998 cafe season and I be requested to monitor the
cafe operation during the 1998 cafe season and report back to the Toronto Community Council at the end of the
1998 summer cafe season on the operation of the cafe for consideration as a deputation item. All conditions of
previous approval will continue to be applied.
