City Council Minutes <br /> September 28, 1994 <br /> Page 2 <br /> noted that the planning commission had reviewed the request and <br /> recommended approval with the conditions as outlined. <br /> Dirk Bordsen, the property owner, and James Bonner, the proprietor <br /> of the business, were in attendance. Mayor Baldwin commented that <br /> he was not pleased to see that the owner and proprietor had decided <br /> to ignore city regulations by opening their store prior to being <br /> granted their business license. He noted that the store would be <br /> watched carefully in the future and all code violations will be <br /> addressed promptly. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Jacobs to approve the conditional use <br /> permit with the conditions as presented. Motion passed <br /> unanimously. <br /> DISCUSSION REGARDING AN ORDINANCE RESTRICTING HOURS OF <br /> AVAILABILITY OF TENNIS COURTS AT COMMUNITY PARK <br /> Parks and Recreation Director Carol Kriegler reviewed the current <br /> status of lighting at the Community Park tennis courts. She <br /> explained that current code calls for a 10:00 p.m. closing time for <br /> all parts of the park except for the tennis courts, which are open <br /> 24 hours with a timed light. Kriegler said that she had received <br /> complaints regarding late night noise associated with tennis play. <br /> In response to these complaints, staff distributed a survey to <br /> abutting neighbors of the park in Falcon Heights and Roseville. <br /> Survey responses found that five residents had concerns about the <br /> noise from the tennis courts. The parks and recreation commission <br /> reviewed the issue and by a 4 -1 vote recommended that the court <br /> lights be turned off at 10:00 p.m. each evening. <br /> The council discussed several possible closing times and the merits <br /> and practicality of each. It was concluded that an earlier closing <br /> time was probably a reasonable request. The council noted that <br /> there were other tennis courts available within one mile of <br /> Community Park that are not near residential homes. A 10:00 <br /> closing time was agreed upon as that is the time that the rest of <br /> the park is closed. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Gibson Talbot to amend the Chapter 3 -4.01 <br /> of the city code, establishing a uniform closing time of 10:00 p.m. <br /> for all parts of city parks. Motion passed unanimously. <br /> REPORT REGARDING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE COMMUNITY PARK PATHWAY AND <br /> VITA COURSE EXERCISE STATIONS <br /> Parks Director Kriegler and Public Works /Parks Superintendent <br /> Klingenberg outlined proposed improvements to the Community Park <br /> pathway and exercise equipment. Klingenberg explained that about <br /> 1200 linear feet of the pathway at Community Park would be <br /> improved. The current pathway is rutted and is in need of <br /> rehabilitation.
