CANNABIS REGISTRATION SUSPENSION PENALTY ON HARBOR WINE AND
SPIRITS
OVERVIEW: The Orono Police Department conducts periodic checks on Mound
businesses and the Harbor Wine and Spirits Municipal Liquor Store which hold Liquor
Licenses and/or Low Potency Hemp Derived Edible (LPHE) Licenses. During the last
compliance check operation, a Mi Pueblo Express staff sold alcohol to an underage
person. During the same compliance check operation staff at HWS sold alcohol and
LPHE products to an underage person. These violations were the only compliance check
failures for Mi Pueblo Express and HWS in the past three years.
The management and ownership of Mi Pueblo Express have expressed regret at the
compliance check failure and have chosen to forego a hearing before the City Council
on the matter. The ownership and management of Mi Pueblo Express have expressed
its commitment to improvement on compliance check activities and have provided its
training and operational procedures framework. Mi Pueblo Express have indicated it will
accept any penalty the City Council decides to impose.
Staff recommends the City Council impose the minimum penalty for a first compliance
check violation at Mi Pueblo Express within the last three years. The minimum penalty
is a $500 fine and a one -day suspension of liquor license. This level of penalty imposed
for previous first violations by the City Council is consistent with previous City Council
penalties.
HWS staff have also expressed regret for the compliance check failures at HWS and are
committed to improvement in this area. HWS staff provided documentation of its
emphasis on improved compliance check training and procedures at the Liquor Store.

Staff recommends the City Council impose the minimum penalty for first Liquor License

without the cash civil penalty. The minimum penalty would be amended to a one -day
suspension of liquor license and a two consecutive day suspension of Cannabis
Registration for HWS.

Re:
Alcohol Compliance —Training
and
Prevention
of Underage Sales
To Whom If May Concern,
Mi Pueblo Restaurant is committed to the responsible sale and service of alcohol and to full compliance with
all applicable state and local laws and regulations. We sincerely regret the results of our recent compliance
check and recognize the seriousness of preventing underage patrons from being served alcohol. This was our
first compliance failure in several years of operation, and we are taking immediate and proactive steps to
ensure it does not happen again.
To strengthen our practices and reinforce compliance, we are implementing the following training and
operational procedures:
1. Enhanced Staff Training
All employees who sell or serve alcohol will receive mandatory training on Minnesota alcohol laws,
r internal policies, and the importance of preventing underage sales. Training will occur at
onboarding and at least annually thereafter.
2. ID Verification Policy
We will continue to check the identification of any guest who appears to be under the age of 40
before serving or selling alcohol, without exception.
3. Proper ID Examination
Employees will be trained to closely inspect all identification for expiration dates, validity, and
signs of alteration.
4. Ongoing Reinforcement
Management will review alcohol service policies regularly during staff meetings and provide
refresher training and updates as needed throughout the year.
5. Manager Support
Any employee who has a question or concern about a guest's identification will be required
to consult a manager before completing the sale.
6. Monitoring and Accountability
Management will continue to monitor compliance through routine observations and
reinforcement. We will address any violations of this policy promptly and appropriately.
Our goal is to maintain the highest standards of responsible alcohol service and to be a trusted part
of the Mound community. We appreciate your attention to this matter and remain committed to
continuous improvement.

To: Mound City Council
RE: Alcohol Compliance and Prevention of Underage Sales
Mayor Holt and Members of the Mound Council,
During a routine compliance check by Orono PD, a member of Harbor Wine and Spirits
failed to check ID for both alcohol and THC sales. We acknowledge this is not an
acceptable practice and does not meet the high standards expected of our Harbor Wine
and Spirits Staff. As a municipal operation, Harbor Wine and Spirits should be the
highest community example of compliance with state liquor laws. We take accountability
and have deep regret for these actions.
To ensure our commitment to compliance the City has worked with Harbor Wine and
Spirits to implement the following:
1. Updating City Policy: The City has implemented a new policy and
acknowledgement related to ID compliance. This new policy holds staff
accountable, and failure to comply may result in termination. A copy of this
policy is enclosed with this letter.
2. Dedicated Staff Training: All HWS staff will be trained at time of hire and
annually on policies and procedures related to ID checking.
3. Increased Monitoring: HWS leadership will continue to monitor, correct and re-
train staff as needed to ensure Staff meet City expectations.
Harbor Wine and Spirits Staff is committed to improvement and is deeply regretful that
our actions have led us to this point. We thank our City and the City Council for your
trust in us to be a leader in this community.
Many thanks,
Laila Imihy, Deputy City Manager
Sara Peterson, Store Manager — Harbor Wine and Spirits.

CITY OF MOUND
Policy: Liquor Operations Identification Policy
Original Adoption: July 2026
Policy Statement
The Harbor Wine and Spirits main objective is to sell alcohol and cannabinoid products legally
and responsibly. The purpose of this policy is to assure that Liquor Operations staff have proof
that all potential customers are at least 21 years of age to purchase either alcohol or
cannabinoid products. Guidelines are provided to maintain that all sales are responsible and
legal.
Policy Overview
Guidelines
Every individual who desires to purchase any item at Harbor Wine and Spirits must produce
identification prior to the sale and present the identification to an Operations staff member who
then performs the transaction. Staff should follow all of the policy steps provided.
Ste ps
1. Politely request the individual's driver's license or state issued identification card.
2. Look closely at the individual's identification card photo and their height, weight, eye,
skin and hair color and again at the date of birth to ensure that they are the owners of
the identification.
3. If all of the information appears to be correct, thank them and proceed with the sales
transaction. Alternative forms of identification may be used without store manager's
approval: - Military I.D. - Valid Passport- Mexican Matricula Consular (Consular
Identification Card) Any other form of identification needs manager or supervisor on
duty's approval
Multiple Parties
For the majority of transactions, one legal age individual would constitute a legal transaction,
however a group of individuals whose ages are questionable (under or near 21 years old) and
only one person has identification, may be a situation where the individuals who cannot provide
identification, must leave the building, leaving the "of age' individual the opportunity to
purchase. Rude or unruly behavior may also be a determination it the sale proceeds. The final
decision on groups of individuals or individuals that do not want their identification scanned is
the manager's jurisdiction!
Consequences of Violations
Violations of this policy constitute just cause for discipline, including probable discharge. The
final determination will be made by the City Manager on employment disciplinary status. More
importantly, employees must be aware that the sale of alcoholic products to any individual
under the age of 21 is a violation of state law, and any individual purchasing any item at Harbor
15
Wine and Spirits must be at least 21 years of age and produce proper identification that must be
scanned by staff, this does include tobacco products and lottery.

Comparatively, Harbor Wine and Spirits was down by just 2% as of March 2026 reporting
and Summer sales have been strong. Recent transitions and vacancies in the City's
finance department mean we are unable to provide more detailed reporting year-to-date,
however, the City Council can expect a full update as part of this fall's fiscal year 2027
budget.
Tonight, Staff will be available to answer any questions from the Council related to Harbor
Wine and Spirits operations.

FUTURE ACTION
A comprehensive update on the financial standing of Harbor Wine and Spirts will be
presented as part of the overall budget process this fall.

FROM: Sarah Smith, Community Development Director
DATE: July 23, 2026
SUBJECT: Council Introduction - Concept Plan for Building/Property
Reuse at 4851 Shoreline Drive
PURPOSE
Council Introduction of Concept Plan for Building/Property Reuse at 4851 Shoreline
Drive.
INFORMATION
As established in City Policy No. 012 Development Application Review Procedures,
Jan Knutson, a family member of the property owner, Anders Knutson of Pine West
LLC, and the proposed tenant, Stewart's Boats and Board Shop, will be attending the
July 28t" City Council meeting to present a concept plan as a Council Introduction for
proposed reuse of the building and property at 4851 Shoreline Drive. The concept is for
boattmarine dealership sales and related service/maintenance activities in the west
portion of the building, along with outdoor storage in the rear/south side of the property.
The proposed business would also include accessory retail sales. "Boat and Marine
Sales" and "Open Sales Lot" are allowed by conditional use in the Mixed -Use Corridor
District, while the marine service/maintenance activities requires review as a
Substantial Use Determination per City Code Sec. 129-171 to allow marine service and
maintenance to be deemed similar to activities included in the `Automotive Repair,
Minor" use which is permitted in the Mixed -Use Corridor District. The east half of the
building will be used by the property owner for office use for administrative and property
management functions, general business administration and personal storage.
As the Council is aware, the purpose of the concept introduction is to provide City
Council members the opportunity to review the basic elements of the proposed project
and to provide direction about any refinements or issues that should be researched or
addressed prior to making a formal application. There will be no formal motions or
votes.

As this is a concept introduction, Staff will not be summarizing the concept, making a
recommendation, or making a presentation. As required by City Policy No. 012, Staff did
send property owners within 350 feet a letter on July 17, 2026 informing them of the
Council Introduction about the proposed project and notifying them of the opportunity to
provide comment at the July 28th City Council meeting. The proposed tenants have also
been reaching out and meeting neighboring property owners and residents on their
own.

Request for Review of Proposed Use at 4851 Shoreline Dr.
July 10, 2026
Dear Sarah,
We are requesting your review of our proposed marine sales and service use at 4851 Shoreline
Dr. as part of the Conditional Use Permit process.
Our proposed use is a professional boat dealership and service facility with indoor sales,
showroom, accessory retail, and enclosed service bays. As discussed, we intend to operate in a
clean, orderly, and low -impact manner consistent with the zoning district and surrounding uses.
As experienced boaters and active members of the wakesurfmg community in the area, we also
value responsible boating practices and community stewardship.
Thank you for your time and guidance.
Sincerely,
Katie Stewart
Stewart's Boat and Board Shop

Stewart's Boat and Board Shop Scope of Activities
Stewart's Boat and Board Shop is proposed as a professional marine dealership and
service facility specializing in premium marine products, with a primary focus on inboard
towboats and waters ports -re lated equipment. Our goal is to provide high -quality boat
sales, service, and customer support while maintaining a clean, orderly, and well -
managed property that complements the surrounding community.
The front portion of the property will be used primarily for customer parking and access
to the building. We would request the ability to mount business signage on the building.
No trailer storage, outdoor repair activities, or outdoor inventory storage are planned in
the front lot area. The front office area will serve as the primary customer reception and
administrative space. Customers will visit the dealership for scheduled appointments,
boat sales consultations, financing discussions, service scheduling, and customer
support. The office areas will approximately house 4 employee workstations,
administrative functions, staff meetings, and manufacturer training sessions. A small
retail component will be incorporated into the office and showroom areas, offering
marine accessories, watersports equipment, life jackets, ropes, apparel, and other
products that support boat ownership. This retail component is intended to compliment
the dealership's core marine business rather than function as a stand-alone retail store.
The office environment will maintain a professional atmosphere with low -volume
background music similar to a typical office setting.
Behind the office area is a combined showroom and service space that serves as the
operational heart of the business. The layout is designed to accommodate up to four
boats indoors at one time. The two spaces closest to the office wall will typically be used
for the display of inventory boats available for sale, allowing customers to view boats in
a clean, climate -controlled environment. Customers will move through this space for
product demonstrations, sales consultations, and boat delivery orientations. Depending
on the season and available inventory, approximately two to four boats may be
displayed indoors at any given time. The two spaces closest to the overhead garage
door will generally be utilized for scheduled service work, maintenance, inspections, and
customer boat preparation.
The service department will operate within two designated service bays and be staffed
by certified marine technicians performing scheduled maintenance, diagnostics,
winterization, detailing, warranty repairs, accessory installation, and pre -delivery
inspections. Most work will occur indoors during normal business hours, although
technicians may occasionally perform scheduled off -site service calls.
Service -related noise will include occasional engine testing while boats are connected
to a water supply (garden hose for diagnostic and service verification purposes. Typical
marine inboard engine noise is measured around-70-80dB when within 1-2 meters. At
a distance of 50 feet, sounds drops to ~60dB or less. For reference, a normal
conversation is--60dB, vacuum cleaner is -70dB, and a lawnmower is--90dB.
Centurian boats have noise suppressing mufflers, which helps keep service/test runs
42
relatively subdued compared to unmodified marine engines. In the future, a small
forklift may be used periodically to move boats between designated staging areas,
service bays, and the showroom. Background music may be played within the building
at normal office volume levels and will not be audible outside the facility.
As a premium boat dealership, our business experiences seasonal fluctuations. We
anticipate maintaining approximately six inventory boats on -site throughout the year.
During peak spring de -winterization and fall winterization seasons, an average of
approximately five customer boats may be present awaiting scheduled service. Some
customer boats may remain on -site longer when waiting for parts, warranty
authorization, or completion of repairs.
The rear portion of the property will function as an organized operational staging area.
Customer boat drop-off will occur in the designated location along the southeastern
portion of the lot bows facing the north starboard (right) side on the edge of the grass.
Following check -in, dealership personnel and certified technicians will move boats into
designated service staging spaces located along the west side of the property, where
they will await scheduled service. Once the boat is pulled in and service is complete it
will get marked done then staged back into its designated spot for pick up. Inventory
boats available for sale will also be parked in the same orientation as the service boats,
west side of the property backed into designated spots bows facing east. This layout is
intended to create an efficient and organized flow of customer units and inventory while
maintaining a clean and professional appearance. (See attached diagram).
The rear lot is not intended to serve as a long-term storage facility. Rather, it functions
as a temporary staging area supporting normal dealership operations, including service
appointments, inventory management, customer deliveries, and demonstration
preparation. A semi -truck delivery may occur in the back lot approximately once every
three months. The site has capacity for approximately eleven boats during peak
periods, although the actual number present will vary depending on the season and
operational needs. Additional business activities may include customer boating safety
and operational training, scheduled delivery orientations, seasonal open houses, and
off -site boat demonstrations conducted on public waterways.
We are committed to operating a professional business that is respectful of neighboring
properties and compatible with the surrounding community. Our goal is to create a
clean, organized, and attractive facility that provides valuable services to local boat
owners, while contributing positively to the local economy.
Proposed hours of operation: Mon -Fri 9-5. Sat. 9-noon or by appointment. Closed on
Sunday.

Pines West, LLC — Scope of Activities
Owner -Occupied East Portion • 4851 Shoreline Drive, Mound, MN 55364
Overview
Pines West, LLC is the owner of the building at 4851 Shoreline Drive and will occupy the east
portion of the property — approximately 50% of the building, consisting of two front offices and
the east warehouse bay (shown as the "future showroom" on the tenant's concept drawing). The
owner's use of this space is low -intensity and limited to administrative office work and private
personal storage. There is no retail activity, no customer or public traffic, no outdoor storage,
and no use of the rear lot associated with the owner's portion. The owner is committed to
maintaining a clean, orderly, and well -managed property consistent with the surrounding
community.
Front Offices — Administrative Use
The two front offices on the east side will be used by Pines West for administrative and
property -management functions related to the ownership and operation of the building, as well
as the owner's general business administration. Typical activities include bookkeeping, lease
and records administration, vendor and contractor coordination, correspondence, and general
office work. Occupancy is limited and intermittent — primarily the owner — with no regular
customer appointments, walk-in traffic, or public visits. The offices will maintain a quiet,
professional atmosphere consistent with a typical low -occupancy office setting.
East Warehouse Bay — Private Storage
The east warehouse bay is currently retained by Pines West and used for low -intensity private
storage. Stored items consist of the owner's personal vehicle and bicycles, along with similar
personal belongings. No commercial inventory, hazardous materials, or industrial activity is
stored or conducted in this space, and no repair, fabrication, or service work takes place. The
bay generates no appreciable noise and has no customer or public access; entry is limited to
the owner on an as -needed basis during normal hours.
Regarding the "future showroom" notation shown on the tenant's concept drawing: this reflects
only a potential future possibility and not a current use. The east bay is presently retained by
Pines West for the owner's own administrative and storage purposes as described above.
Should Pines West seek to lease this space or change its use in the future, it will return to the
City for review and approval through the appropriate process before any such use commences.
Rear Lot — No Use
Pines West makes no use of the rear lot. All rear -lot activity is associated solely with the
tenant's operation. The owner conducts no storage, staging, or other activity in the rear lot.
Owner access to the east portion is limited to ordinary front -lot parking for entry to the offices.
Summary
MI
Pines West's retained use of the east portion of the building is intentionally low -impact: quiet
administrative office work and private personal storage, with no retail, no customer traffic, no
outdoor storage, and no rear -lot use. This owner -occupied use is intended to complement the
surrounding community and to be fully compatible with the adjacent neighborhood.
