NEW HOTEL AND RESTAURANT LIQUOR LICENSE

City Council considered a new Hotel and Restaurant liquor license with optional premises at 1350 Birch Street for The City of Montrose - A Municipal Corporation, doing business as The Rusty Putter, for consumption on the licensed premises. A hearing was held.

City Attorney Stephen Alcorn acknowledged that this application is unusual because the City of Montrose is the applicant. Golf Pro Tom Young, who will supervise the restaurant manager, was present to answer questions.

Mr. Young stated that many youth golfers and families will be customers of the restaurant and if any underage purchases of alcohol are attempted, he will follow proper channels including notifying parents. Mr. Young also stated that golf course staff will attend alcohol server training, and IDs will be checked regularly.

Mr. Alcorn asked whether a need exists in the community for the license to be issued. Mr. Young stated that based upon his experience in the golf business since 1987, players enjoy alcohol beverages after golfing, and this is an industry standard. Mr. Young said Black Canyon Golf Course offers a unique environment for customers.

Assistant City Manager Ann Morgenthaler stated that a professional restaurant manager with experience has been hired, and a full menu will be offered, including breakfast. Ms. Morgenthaler also said that all staff will attend alcohol server training, will follow applicable rules, and will control access to alcohol after hours. Customers will be continually monitored by many city staff members.

City staff members answered questions from City Council.

Mr. Young stated that over service of alcohol is a judgement call, and service to all customers, including friends and coworkers will cease if signs of intoxication are observed.

Mr. Young explained that the liquor license encompasses the entire 110 acres of the golf course, and customers cannot bring alcohol onto the premises. Service on the course will be provided from a beverage cart, and all staff members will monitor golfers. City Manager Bill Bell added that the beverage cart will have a camera, and the beverage cart operator will be constantly under surveillance and recorded.

Mr. Bell said that interviews for restaurant managers focused on controlling alcohol consumption on the Golf Course which is tnarketed as a family friendly environment. All staff will be aware of potential issues, and a zero tolerance plan will be in place.

Ms. Sharp stated that the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Amended Planned Development No. 2 Preliminary PD Plat on February 10, and the final plat requires only City Council approval. Ms. Sharp recommended approval stating that the request is in compliance with planned development regulations, is in substantial conformity with the Comprehensive Plan, is compatible with existing zoning and general conditions of the area, and does not appear to be adverse to public health, safety or welfare.
