City Council, at its meeting of July 29, 30 and 31, 1998, approved the extended hours of operation for the boulevard cafe on the Kenilworth Avenue flankage of 1961 Queen Street East from 10:00p.m. to 11:00 p.m., 7 days a week, to continue until the end of the 1998 cafe season, subject to the applicant complying with the criteria set out in § 313-36 of Municipal Code Chapter 313, Street and Sidewalks, of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code and requested the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services to report back to the Toronto Community Council at the end of the 1998 cafe season.

Comments:

Periodic inspections show that the proprietor has complied with the conditions as approved by City Council and other requirements of § 313-36 of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 313, including the closing time restriction of 11:00 p.m.

In addition, we have consulted with a representative from Toronto Police Service who advised that they have no complaints on file pertaining to noise or other disturbances at the subject location.

Conclusions:

Given that the proprietor has complied with the criteria set out in § 313-36 of Municipal Code Chapter 313, Streets and Sidewalks, of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code and the conditions imposed by City Council, I am recommending that the licence be renewed annually under the present terms and conditions.
