MAYOR GERALD L. FARLEY AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
VILLAGE MANAGER
JULY 11,2003
REQUEST FOR CLASS R LIQUOR LICENSE
BURRITO EXPRESS (CURRENTLY BABY LOU'S PIZZA),
TWO WEST BUSSE AVENUE
On Monday, July 7, the Village Manager met with Mr. Femando Perez regarding his
request for the issuance of a new Class R Liquor License to be utilized in conjunction
with the operation his proposed restaurant at the above location. The Class R
designation provides for the serving of alcoholic beverages at dining tables only.
Baby Lou's Pizza and Hot Dogs currently operates at this location. Mr. Perez is
currently negotiating the purchase of the business and intends to convert it into a
Mexican fast food/sit d own restaurant. Mr. Perez would like to offer beer, wine and
Margaritas as an accompaniment to the food menu.
Since 1998, Mr. Perez has operated a "Burrito Express" restaurant in the Village of Fox
Lake, Illinois. He has held a Liquor License for that establishment since 2001.
Mr. Perez reports there have been no violations or other problems with regard to the
Fox Lake Liquor License. He plans to operate both locations. Other than some modest
changes in d~cor, the restaurant will maintain its existing configuration. Mr. Perez plans
to offer a lunch and dinner menu, seven days a week.
The Class R designation provides for full service liquor at dining tables only. While the
proposed cuisine would justify the sale of beer, wine and Margaritas, it would not lend
itself to unrestricted hard liquor sales. Therefore, in order to accommodate the
applicant's request, while at the same time limiting the scope of alcohol sales, staff
would propose t hat t he issuance o f the C lass R contain a specific restriction Iimiting
sales to beer, wine and Margaritas. Said restriction would be built into both the
Ordinance creating the Class R License as well as the License that would be posted at
the establishment. Mr. Perez is amenable to said restriction.
he Village Manager discussed at length with the applicant the Village's particular
sensitivities to the sale of alcohol to minors and over-service to clearly intoxicated
individuals. The Manager also indicated that the applicant was responsible for the
actions of all employees and managers. Mr. Perez indicated he had read the Village's
rules and regulations in this regard and understood all of our requirements.
The required application is complete and on file along with the payment of appropriate
fees and other documentation. Mr. Perez has submitted to the required fingerprinting
and background checks. The Village Manager recommends, a nd Mr. Perez agrees,
that all managers who work at the Mount Prospect location must complete a certified
liquor servers, training course and provide proof of same to the Liquor Commissioner.
If the Village Board considers this request favorably, adoption of an Ordinance creating
a new Class R Liquor License with the aforementioned restrictions would be
appropriate.
