James C. Strouth <br />2548 -Stark Street <br />Little Canada, MN. 55117 <br />483-8668 <br />March 17, 1981 <br />City Council <br />Little Canada,MN. 55117 <br />Council Members, <br />This letter is being written to inform the City Council of an incident that <br />occured on March 13th, so they can take the appropriate measures to prevent <br />future incidents of this kind. <br />On March 13th, at about 12:45 A.M., I was returning home from a vacation <br />with my wife Kim and one - year -old son Ted. We live at 2548 -Stark St. and <br />have lived at this residence for the past year. Upon turning the corner of <br />Rice and Demont, our car was just missed by an inch of a yellow Chevy pick -up <br />just leaving the parking lot of the Hogsbreath Disco,located on the south- <br />east corner of Rice and Demont. In order to avoid colliding with the truck, <br />I had to screech to a stop. At the same time , a few young men jumped on <br />my car screaming and then ran off while I was exiting my car. At this time <br />I observed approximately 50 people congregating in the parking lot. Kim <br />estimated about 70 people were in the lot; how many is strickly a guess, <br />however, it was a large number: <br />I remind the Council that not only my wife, but my one - year -old son <br />was also in the car at the time. This road (Demont is used as a residential <br />access road for the single- family housing located on both Demont and Stark <br />streets, and for the Canterbury Condominium units. <br />It is my :understanding that there is to be a patrol unit in the parking <br />lot; obviously, this is not enough. Not only is this inexcusable for the <br />owners of the Hcgsbreath to let their patrons carry on in their parking lot, <br />but someday someone is going to be seriously hurt from either or both <br />intoxicated drivers or customers' rowdy behavior. I must reemphasize that <br />the Hogsbreath is located very close to Little Canada housing; we the housing <br />residents should in no way have to tolerate these kind of incidents. <br />I'm sure the City Council will take the appropiate action to prevent <br />any further incidents of this kind, and it is my hope that the liquor license <br />be taken away from the Hogsbreath . My only regret is that I cannot <br />personally appear before the Council, but a time conflict exists. Please <br />feel free to call me with any questions you may have. <br />is Sincerely, � C (ft-49 <br />n n tt�� Fh <br />
