MEMORANDUM
TO:

cfv,,&A \W
Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
FROM:
Karen J. Engelhardt, Office Manager
DATE:
June 2,2006
SUBJ:
C.J.'s Coffee & Wine Bar, 600 Market Street, Suite 170:
Approval of Request to Amend the Liquor Licensed Premises
Area for a Charity Event on June 13, 2006; and Approval of
Request to Amend the Liquor Licensed Premises to Include the
Sidewalk Area
Staff has received two requests from Cindy Baker, owner of c.J.'s Coffee &
Wine Bar located in Market Street Station:
Charity Event: Ms. Baker will be conducting a fundraiser for the American
Heart Association on Tuesday, June 13 from 4:30-8:30 p.m. She is requesting
permission to rope off the parking lot area between c.J.' s and the Movie Theater
(see attached map) to allow guests to purchase beer or wine inside the restaurant
and carry it to outdoor tables to listen to a band. Ms. Baker has received
permission of the landowner and has liquor liability insurance to cover the
event. (Staff requested this information in writing; however, it was not received
as of the time this packet was published.) She also intends to have people
posted at the points of entrance/exit to ensure that no liquor is carried outside the
roped off area.
Staff has discussed this proposed event with Sgt. Jim Olson, Fire Marshal, and
State of Minnesota Alcohol & Gambling Enforcement personnel, and all feel
that this is a workable situation. In the event of an emergency, the area could be
cleared quickly to allow access by an ambulance or other emergency vehicle.
Ms. Baker is also working with the Planning Department for the issuance of a
special event permit and a loud speaker permit for this event.
In order to display and consume alcohol in the roped off area in the parking lot,
the city would have to amend the licensed premises for C.J.'s Coffee & Wine
Bar to include this outdoor area for one day, June 13,2006.
Consumption on Outdoor Patio: Ms. Baker is also requesting permission to
serve beer and wine to patrons on the outdoor patio on a continuing basis. She
intends to cordon off a portion of the sidewalk area with portable decorative
patio fence as shown on the attached sheet. The tables would not obstruct

pedestrians using the sidewalk. This is similar to other establishments in the
metro area.
Currently, there is only one entrance dlfectly into c.J.' s on the east side of the
building. As such, there is no way to restrict access to the patio area from wIthIn
the restaurant only without installing a second door. Ms. Baker feels that the
area can be monitored adequately from within the restaurant; but if a problem
arises, a second door could be Installed over the winter months.
Staff has discussed this proposal wIth Sgt. Jim Olson, the Fire Marshal, and the
Planning staff. No one has an issue with the proposal. Additionally, a
representative from the Alcohol & Gambling Enforcement Division of the State
of Minnesota did an inspection of the site and feels that this setup will work.
Ms. Baker also has the permission of the land owner and the liquor liability
insurance carrier will include this area for coverage (still waiting for written
confirmation of this information).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of expanding the licensed premises for C.J.' s Coffee
& Wine Bar as follows:
1. To include a roped off area of the parking lot for a charity event on
Tuesday, June 13, 2006, for one day only.
2. To include the sidewalk portion adjacent to the restaurant on an ongoing
basis. This area will be cordoned off with portable decorative patio
fence and will be momtored to determine if installatIon of a second door
is warranted.
3. Written documentation is provided indicating the landowner's
permission and expansion of the liquor liability Insurance covering the
special event and the outdoor seating area.
Approval of these requests requires a simple majority vote of those City Council
members present.
Proposal to City of Chanhassen:
One Time Event: Celebration of Sensational Women -
Fundraiser for American Heart Association
Where: CJ's Coffee & Wine Bar
Date:
June 13th, 2006
Time: 4:30 - 8:30 pm
Request: We would like to rope off a small section of the
parking lot for tables and chairs. We would like special
permission to allow customers to bring their food and drink
out to the parking lot area. My insurance carrier has
agreed to extend my coverage for the day of the event to
include the parking lot. The landlord has agreed to all of
the above.
1) Loudspeaker Permit attached for live music between the
hours of 6 and 9pm.
2) Permission to allow wine and beer to be consumed in the
roped off area contiguous to CJ's. I have checked with
the State of MN and they have given their approval for
this use. (Note: we would not be selling wine and beer
outdoors but simply allowing customers who have
already purchased it indoors to bring it to the outdoor
tables.
We would have someone posted at each of the two
entrances to the area to be sure no wine or beer left the
premises.

On-Going Basis During Summer Months 2006:
We request permission to allow alcohol at the tables and
chairs on the "patio" outside of C]'s. The area would be
sectioned off with planters (see attached example).
This would be similar to Biella's in Excelsior and many other
sidewalk dining areas in Wayzata and Hopkins.
For this summer, I propose that we monitor the going in
and out of the patio area from inside C]'s to determine if
closer supervision is needed. Scott Miller from the State of
Minnesota visited C]'s and said that is acceptable to his
organization. The landlord and insurance carrier have
agreed to this as well.
If we determine that the situation warrants it, we will use
the winter months to construct a second door to C]'s,
allowing one door to be used just for access in and out of
the patio area.
