Application to remove early closing condition on patio liquor licence granted due to changed circumstances.

The licensee applied to remove a condition on its liquor licence that restricted the sale and service of alcohol on its patio to 11:00 p.m.

The condition was originally imposed in 1984.

The licensee argued that circumstances had changed, as nine other licensed patios in the area now operate until 2:00 a.m. without such restrictions, and there was strong public and municipal support for the application.

The Board found that a change of circumstances had occurred and that removing the condition was in the public interest.

The application to remove the condition was granted.

Application for additional indoor liquor licence capacity granted subject to strict noise control conditions.

The corporate licensee applied for additional licensed capacity for its establishment.

Following an earlier decision that granted patio capacity on terms and adjourned the indoor capacity issue pending soundproofing, the licensee submitted evidence of soundproofing and proposed noise control measures.

Despite continuing noise concerns from neighbours, the Board approved the application for additional indoor capacity subject to strict conditions regarding security, noise levels, and operating hours.

Licensee breached regulation by altering the reason for suspension on a posted placard.

The Registrar issued a Notice of Proposal to revoke the licensee's liquor licence, alleging breaches of O. Reg. 719/90 regarding the posting of a suspension placard.

During a 60-day suspension, an inspector found the placard posted but altered to obscure the word 'narcotics' as the reason for suspension.

The Board found that the licensee breached s. 55(1) because the sign 'provided by the Board' was not posted in its original form.

However, the Board declined to find a breach of s. 55(2), as the sign remained visible from the exterior despite the alteration.

Written submissions on disposition were requested.

Liquor licence suspended for 30 days after prohibited person found managing premises due to misunderstood condition.

The Registrar issued a Notice of Proposal to revoke the liquor licence of the corporate licensee, alleging a breach of a licence condition.

The condition prohibited two specific individuals from being involved in the business or permitted on the premises.

During a police inspection, one of the prohibited individuals was found managing the premises.

The licensee argued this was due to a misunderstanding of the condition's duration following a previous 60-day suspension.

The Board found a breach of the condition but, accepting the misunderstanding as a mitigating factor, ordered a 30-day suspension rather than revocation, and added a condition requiring a meeting with the local inspector and police.
