To:Scarborough Community Council
From:Novina Wong, City Clerk
Subject:1157 Ellesmere Road, Units 1 & 2, (Ward 15).
Purpose:
To receive direction for a request for an outdoor liquor licence received December 7, 1998,
from Ms Toni Travlou, O/a: Big Time Burgers Inc., 1157 Ellesmere Road, Units 1 & 2, (Ward
15).
Recommendations:
- That Scarborough Community Council approve Option "a" or Option "b" listed hereunder:
a) Support the issuance of the liquor licence to Big Time Burgers Inc. with or without
operating restrictions.
b) Object to the issuance of the liquor licence to Big Time Burgers Inc.
- That the Clerk or designate be authorized to complete and sign the "Municipal
Information" form and forward the form with Council's decision to the Alcohol and
Gaming Commission of Ontario.
Background:
The "Municipal Information" form requires the Municipal Clerk or designate to sign to
confirm the "wet/dry/damp" status of the location of the establishment. The Alcohol and
Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), formerly the Liquor Licensing Board of Ontario
requires this form to be completed before any new liquor licence hearing can be scheduled.
The City Clerk's Division, Legislative Services Section, Scarborough Civic Centre Office,
received a "Municipal Information" form for a liquor licence on December 7, 1998 from Ms
Toni Travlou, O/a: Big Time Burgers Inc., 1157 Ellesmere Road, Units 1 & 2.
A copy of the "Municipal Information" form and the required questionnaire were forwarded to
Councillors Berardinetti and Duguid for whatever action they deemed necessary.
Discussion:
The process followed for Liquor Licence Clearance can be found in the Administrative
Manual for Scarborough, CA-104-03, dated 01-08-97 (see attached). The "Municipal
Information" form required for new liquor licences and the required questionnaire was
circulated for comments to the following, the Ward Councillors, Building, Public Health, Fire
Services. Circulation to the MPP and the MP was for information purposes only.
Councillors are advised of the receipt of clearance from Buildings, Public Health and Fire
Services and requested to provide one of the following comments:
- "Satisfied", approve the Clerk or designate to sign the "Municipal Information" form.
- "Not Satisfied", report by Clerk's for Committee and Council.
- "Keep Pending", request time to investigate further.
Council may request that the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario restrict the area for
serving and consumption of alcohol and the hours of operation. Once the direction from
Council has been finalized and a response prepared for the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario,
the Clerk or designate can sign the "Municipal Information" form. Council's decision and the
"Municipal Information" form are forwarded to the AGCO.
Councillor Duguid is not in support of this application. Councillor Berardinetti is in support of
Councillor Duguid's response.
Full compliance/clearances from Building, Public Health and Fire Services have been
received.
Conclusion:
The recommendations contained in this report will allow the Clerk to sign the "Municipal
Information" form and forward the form and Council's comments on to the Alcohol and
Gaming Commission of Ontario.
