The Scarborough Community Council submits the following report (April 14, 1999) from the City Clerk:
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 and 2, (Ward 15).
Recommendations:
It is recommended:
(1)that Scarborough Community Council approve Option (a) or (b), viz:
(a)support the issuance of the liquor licence to Big Time Burgers Inc. with or without operating restrictions; or
(b)object to the issuance of the liquor licence to Big Time Burgers Inc.; and
(2)that the Clerk or designate be authorized to complete and sign the "Municipal Information" form and forward the form
with City 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 and 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. 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.
