License Committee forwards Swiss House Cheese Days outdoor service request to common council
Summary
The committee recommended that the common council consider a premise extension for Swiss House to serve in its parking lot during Cheese Days; staff said the block is being treated as open-container for the event and Swiss House will place a tent rather than a fenced garden this year.
The License Committee voted to forward Swiss House’s request for a premise extension that would allow outdoor alcohol service in the business’s parking lot during Cheese Days.
City staff explained the request and said the block around Swiss House will be treated as open-container for the event, so the business plans to place a tent and serve outdoors rather than erect a fenced beer garden this year. Staff noted prior years had required a guarded fence and had encountered limits imposed by the fire department on how many people could be allowed inside a fenced area.
"They're not actually putting up a garden per se this year because the whole block around them is open container," staff said, summarizing the plan for Cheese Days. The item was moved to common council by a committee member and seconded by the Chair; the clerk recorded ayes and the committee voted to forward the application.
The committee’s recommendation is advisory; the common council will consider the premise-extension request at a future meeting.
