From:Angie Antoniou, 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.
