If you cannot return to your original airport of departure for any reason, including weather, weight, opening hours, then you need a take-off alternate. This has to be within 1 hours flight time, still air, with one engine inoperative (assuming 2 engined machine). No need for enhanced minima, it just has to satisfy the published minima for the chosen alternate.

Hope this helps.
