Burnsville council approves liquor license for Valentina Restaurant at Nicollet Avenue address
Summary
The Burnsville City Council approved an on‑sale intoxicating and on‑sale Sunday license for Valentina Restaurant LLC at 13766 Nicollet Avenue South after a public hearing; the police background check found no reason to deny the application and issuance is contingent on outstanding documents and fees.
The Burnsville City Council voted to approve an on‑sale intoxicating liquor license and on‑sale Sunday license for Valentina Restaurant LLC, doing business as Valentina Restaurant, for premises at 13766 Nicollet Avenue South.
City Clerk Michelle Collins presented the application at the public hearing and said, "We do have a new application for Valentina Restaurant. The Police Department has conducted a background investigation into the principals involved. Nothing was found to deny the application." She also said issuance would be contingent on any outstanding documents and fees and noted the city code requires a public hearing on all new liquor license applications.
A councilmember moved to approve the license, commenting that the restaurant appears to be located on the backside of the strip center on Nicollet near the Mick Andrews property; the presiding officer seconded. No members of the public spoke during the hearing. The presiding officer conducted a voice vote and stated that the motion carries; the record does not include a roll‑call tally.
Why it matters: New on‑sale liquor licenses authorize the sale of alcoholic beverages for on‑site consumption and are subject to local licensing conditions and any outstanding requirements such as fees or documentation. The council’s action advances the application to issuance once the clerk verifies all contingencies are satisfied.
