Village staff report no sustained noise complaints; trustees move to approve supplemental entertainment license for Marisco El Cautrin Del Mar

Steve, a village staff member, presented a request from Marisco El Cautrin Del Mar for a supplemental entertainment B liquor license for live indoor entertainment during the Committee of the Whole meeting on Dec. 15.

Steve said the business previously received a Class A liquor license and a supplemental outdoor liquor license and that the village placed a conditional 60-day review on the entertainment license to identify any neighborhood concerns and consider conditions such as hours or days of operation. "There were times where they could hear music, but not anywhere that we would consider excessive at all," Steve said, describing police checks during the 60-day period.

Staff reported two anonymous complaints during the review; officers investigated both and did not find excessive noise coming from the establishment. Steve noted the existing supplemental outdoor liquor license already limits outdoor music under the village noise ordinance (weekends until 10 p.m., weekdays until 9 p.m.), and that the supplemental entertainment B primarily pertains to indoor entertainment.

Several trustees indicated they were comfortable allowing the supplemental entertainment license to proceed without additional conditions and emphasized that the board could revisit the license if noise or other problems develop. The transcript does not record a formal, roll-call vote or a written motion on the license; discussion closed by consensus and the board moved on to subsequent agenda items.

What happens next: Because trustees expressed support and no additional conditions were imposed on the record, the applicant may proceed under the granted supplemental entertainment B licensing framework. Staff and police retain authority to respond to any future complaints and the board may reopen the matter if issues arise.
