The Scarborough Community Council recommends
Purpose:
To receive direction for a request for a liquor licence received January 14, 1999, from
HenryThompson, O/a: Inclined Restaurant , 1375 Danforth Road, Unit 1 (Ward 15).
Recommendations:
It is recommended:
(1)that the Scarborough Community Council approve Option "a" or Option "b" listed
hereunder:
(a)support the issuance of the liquor licence with conditions to Inclined Restaurant; or
(b)object to the issuance of the liquor licence to Inclined Restaurant; and
(2)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.
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 Licencing 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 January 14, 1999 from Mr.
Henry Thompson, O/a: Inclined Restaurant, 1375 Danforth Road, Unit 1.
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 Councillor, Buildings Department, Health
Department, Fire Department. Circulation to the MPP and the MP was for information
purposes only.
Councillors are advised of the receipt of clearance from Buildings, Health and Fire and
requested to provide one of the following comments:
(a)"Satisfied", approve the Clerk or designate to sign the Municipal Information Form.
(b)"Not Satisfied", report by Clerk's for Committee and Council.
(c)"Keep Pending", request time to investigate further.
Council may request that the Alcohol and Gaming Commission 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. A letter of objection was received in
Councillor Duguid's office from Chris Arvanitelis of 150 Thicketwood Drive and a petition
objecting to the issuance of the liquor licence was received from the residents of 134 to 152
and 155 Thicketwood Drive (see attached). Councillor Berardinetti is in support of Councillor
Duguid's response.
Full compliance/clearances from Buildings, 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.
