Title
Approve the use of linear park on Concord Road for an event (titled "Seeing Red Chili Cookoff”) organized and managed by Wade's Fine Eatery Good Time Emporium on October 20, 2018 from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. to include alcohol sales on the restaurant property, extension of premises for alcohol sales to include but be limited to parking spaces adjacent to the restaurant for the purpose of beer dispensing from a single beer trailer/station along with carry privileges of legally purchased beverages for attendees into the park property - the area designated as the event space for the duration of the event.
Body
ISSUE: Organizer is seeking approval for use of park property for a Chili Cookoff event benefiting the City of Smyrna Fire Department. No street closings are requested and no tent structures of a size requiring permitting are proposed. Use of park is similar to a previously proposed and approved event. Because there is not a mechanism or existing policy for alcohol permitting of this type on park properties and this request is counter to existing policies, it is considered a special request, requiring Council approval. Applicant will not sell alcohol on park property, but is requesting that event attendees be able to lawfully purchase beer dispensed from keggs from two beer stands and Reformation airstream in plastic cups only and be allowed to carry into the park for the duration of the specified event.
BACKGROUND: An event of this type with similar alcohol sales and carry permissions was previously approved and took place without incident. Details of the request and event description follow:
