Cigazette/Tobacco License held by Avanti Petroleum Inc. d/b/a Total Mart #5667 for the
premises located at 304 Larpenteur Avenue East in Saint Paul
License ID #: 85606
Dear Sir/Nladam:
The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection (LIEP) has
recommended adverse action a�ainst the Cigarette/Tobacco license held by Avanti Petroleum
Inc. d/b/a Total Mart #5667 for the premises located at 304 Larpenteur Avenue in Saint Paul.
The basis for the recommendation is as follo�vs:
On July 06, 2001, a tobacco compliance check was conducted
at the premises of the Total Mart #5667 (NIobil) located at 304
Larpenteur Avenue in Saint Paul. A fifteen year old female
entered the store and asked to buy cigarettes. She was asked to
and did show identification which correctly stated her date of
birth, but the clerk nevertheless sold her a package of
Marlboro Lights cigarettes. Sa(e of tobacco to an undera;e
person is a violation of Minn. Stat. §609.85 and Saint Paul
Legislative Code §324.07.
Since this is a second violation, the licensing office will recommend a�400.00 fine.
At this time you have three options on how to proceed:
1. If you do not dispute the above facts and do not wish to have a public hearing, you will
need to pay the recommended fine for this violation. If this is your choice, you should
make payment directly to the Office of License, Inspections and Enaironmental
Protection, Room 300 Lowry Professional Building, 350 Saint Peter Street, Saint Paul,
Page 2
Total Mart #5667 Q� � tS y
July 12, 2001
Minnesota 55102. The letter should be directed to Ms. Christine Rozek. Payment of the
fine �vill be considered to be a �vaiver of the hearing to which you are entitled.
Altematively, if you do not dispute the above facts, but �vish to have a public hearin�
before the Saint Paul City Council, you will need to send me a letter with a statement
admitting the violation and requesting a public hearin�. We will need to receive your
letter by Monday, July 23, 2001. The matter will then be scheduled before the City
Council for a public hearing to determine what penalty, if any, to impose. You will have
an opportunity to appear before the Council and make a statement on your o�vn behalf.
If you do dispute the above facts, a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative
La�v Judge. At that hearing both you and the City will be able to appear and present
witnesses, evidence and cross-examine the other's witnesses. The St. Paul City Council
will ultimately decide the case. If this is your choice, please advise my legal assistant,
Peter Pangborn, and we will take the necessary steps to schedule the administrative
hearing. He can be reached at 266-8710.
If we have not heard from you by Monday, July 23, 2001, we will assume that you
do not contest the facts and will scheduie this matter for the St. Paul City Councii and have
it placed on the Consent Agenda during which no public discussion is allowed and the
recommended penalty will be imposed.
Please be advised that the clerk who was identified as having made the sale on this date is
also bein� charged an administrative penalty pursuant to Minn. Stat. �461.12, subd. 3. This is a
separate action from this license matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me
at (651) 266-8710.
Sincerely,
`�/ -r,cc�� �� � `
