RESOLUTION NO. 6256
A RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE APPLICATION OF
THE HOLIDAY STATION STORES FOR OFF -SALE
NON -INTOXICATING MALT LIQUOR LICENSES
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
St. Louis Park as follows:
Findings
1. The Holiday Station Stores have applied for
off -sale non -intoxicating malt liquor licenses for their
stores located at 6011 Excelsior Boulevard and'7916 Minnetonka
Boulevard.
2. The City of St. Louis Park presently has 29
licenses for off -sale non -intoxicating malt liquor outstanding
which more than adequately serve the needs of the citizens
of St. Louis Park.
3. In particular, the citizens living near the
Holiday Station Store located at 6011 Excelsior Boulevard
can purchase non -intoxicating malt liquor at any of the -
following nearby locations:
Brookside Drug, 6001 Excelsior Boulevard;
Snyder Drug, 5425 Excelsior Boulevard;
Zayre Stores, 3700 Highway 100.
4. The citizens living near the Holiday Station
Store located at 7916 Minnetonka Boulevard can purchase
non -intoxicating malt liquor at any of the following
nearby locations:
Tom Thumb, 8140 Minnetonka Boulevard;
Penny's, 8000 Minnetonka Boulevard;
Park Tavern, 7201 Minnetonka Boulevard.
5. Because of the existence of the other non -
intoxicating malt liquor licenses in the City of St. Louis
Park, the city does not need additional off -sale locations to
meet the public demand for non -intoxicating malt liquor and,
therefore, the City would receive no appreciable benefit from
granting licenses to the two Holiday Station Stores.
6. In granting an off=sale; non -intoxicating
malt liquor license, the City Council realizes that it places
increased inspection, oversight -and enforcement responsibilities
on its police department.
Q
7. The need for police oversight would be particularly
'great in the case of the Holiday Station Stores because of their
close proximity to residential neighborhoods.
8. The City Council cannot justify further burdening
its police department with the inspection, oversight and
enforcement responsibilities which would result from the
granting of the two off -sale non -intoxicating malt liquor
licenses to the Holiday Station Stores where no appreciable
public benefit would be derived.
9. These items, along with the complete
investigative report, led to these findings.
denied.

Conclusion
The application of the Holiday Station Stores is
Adopted by the City Council on May 7, 1979.
