Elfarra Kormann's Supermarket 719 Burr Street Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101 RE: Cigarette/Tobacco License held by Gehad A. Elfarra d/b/a Kormann's Supermarket for the premises located at 719 Burr Street in Saint Paul License ID #:20010000216 Dear Mr. Elfarra: The Office of License, Inspections and Environmental Protection (LIEP) has recommended adverse action against the Cigazette/Tobacco license held by Gehad A. Elfazra d/b/a Kormann's Supermarket for the pzemises located at 714 Burr Street in Saint Paul. The basis for the recommendation is as follows: On July 31, 2002, a tobacco compliance check was conducted at Kormann's Supermarket located at 719 Burr Street in Saint Paul. A seventeen year old female entered the store and asked to buy cigarettes. She was asked to show her identification, and did so. It correctiy stated her date of birth. The clerk nevertheless sold her a package of Camel cigarettes. Sale of tobacco to an underage person is a violation of Minn. Stat. §609.685 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: 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 Environmenta] Protection, Room 300 Lowry Professional Building, 350 Saint Peter Street, Saint Paul, AA-ADA-EEO Employer o�-S Minnesota 55102. The letter should be directed to Ms. Christine Rozek. Payment of the fine will be considered to be a waiver of the hearing to which you are entitled. A self- addressed envelope is enclosed if this is your choice. 2. Alternatively, if you do not dispute the above facts, but wish to have a public hearing before the Saint Paul City Council, you will need to send me a letter with a statement admitting the violation and requesting a public hearing. We will need to receive your letter by August 22, 2002. 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 own behalf. If you do dispute the above facts, a hearing will be scheduled before an Administrative Law Judge. At that hearing both you and the City will be able to appear and present witnesses, evidence and cross-examine the o[her's witnesses. The St. Paul City Council will ultimafely decide the case. If this is your choice, please advise my legal assistant, Peter Pangbom, 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 August 22, 2002, we will assume that you do not contest the facts and will schedule this matter for the St. Paul City Council 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 being 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, "///,�,l,�GGG�\!-� ��—'�-� r�,. ��. Virginia D.

This is an additional site Timber Bay is looking into to set up their youth counseling office. The building is currently a grocery store on the corner of Burr and E. Minnehaha. it is zoned B-1. I don't think zoning or licensing are going to be an issue. Don't think there is much of a building code issue either, possibly if they want to remodel existing lavatory.
