Factors of <br />consideration were: number of licenses, store locations, and the distance <br />from churches, schools and parks. It was felt the number of stores a <br />market could support should be a significant factor. <br /> <br />The following is the recommended policy: maximum number of stores be <br />limited to one per 5,000 residents; minimum distance between retail <br />locations shall be one mile; minimum distance from a church or school <br />shall be 400 feet as measured property line to property line (this is <br />. <br />consistent with the current ordinance); and if the license is not used <br />within one year, it shall automatically terminate. <br /> <br />In regards to liability insurance, LeFevere noted that state law <br />requirements are less restrictive than New Brighton's City Code. <br /> <br />I'. <br /> <br />Council Business <br /> <br />Water Pressure <br />Booster System <br />Report 91-127 <br /> <br />Off-Sale liquor <br />license Policy <br />Report 91-120 <br />
