  5. Expanded Premise Permit Application Process

    A beverage license is a privilege issued by the city.  Its issue and retention is conditioned on the licensee’s agreement to act in the public’s interest.

    A current alcohol licensee may apply for a temporary change in their premise description.  It is within the discretion of the City to approve or disapprove the change and the City may impose standard or special conditions.  The fee is $50 per event date.

  7. The Process

    Expanded Premise applications are submitted to the Clerk, reviewed by staff (police, and Building, Fire & Electrical Inspectors), recommended by the License & Ordinance Committee, and approved by the City Council.   To obtain an expanded premise permit, please submit or do the following at least 30 days before the event:

     

    1. Complete Expanded Premise Application (below).  Multiple expanded premise permits, all of similar size and nature, and with the same set-up, may be applied for and reviewed contemporaneously (list each date, hours of operation, and event name separately on a supplemental page and attach it to the application).
    2.  Provide a detailed sketch showing stage and service areas, toilets, exits, and the dimensions of the area for which the permit or license will apply.
    3. Complete the Event Characteristics Questionnaire.
    4. Complete the Temporary/Expanded License Worksheet.
    5. Provide a written numbered plan briefly describing how each standard condition will be met, or expressly requesting an alternative or waiver.  
    6. Provide a Certificate of Insurance. 
    7. If street closures, street use, outdoor amplified sound, electrical, park or other permits are required, applications should be submitted contemporaneously.
    8. The applicant should submit the application and all materials to the Clerk and schedule an application review meeting with City staff.  E-mail the Clerk, Lorie Burns, to schedule. lburns@cityofmiddleton.us   

    If an organization or enterprise has a current approved plan on file for event(s) of a similar size and nature, with the same set-up, all that need be submitted is the basic application (below) and current Certificate of Insurance (make reference to the designated approved plan on the application).  A commercial enterprise may have up to three “approved plans on file” with the Clerk for events of different size, nature or set-up.  Plans may be approved in advance without an application, in anticipation of a future application.  The enterprise/organization or City may request a modification to any “approved plan on file” during the application process or at any other time.  It is preferred that requests for modification be initiated, considered, and determined in the period following an event.   Any substantial modification, or where there is not an agreement between the enterprise/organization and staff, will be reviewed by the License & Ordinance Committee and approved by the City Council.
