MINUTES CITY COUNCIL APRIL 22, 2015 per year. He indicated the need for screening improvements suggesting a 6 foot high fence made of a permanent material or something more rigid than the poly fencing proposed. Keis suggested the need to address security to ensure controls within the outdoor recreation area as required by law. Keis also suggested that improvements need to be made to aesthetics and the general appearance of the recreation area. Montour asked what laws related to control of the area, Keis noted that the outdoor recreation area must be contiguous to the bar in order for alcohol to be consumed within that area, He expressed concern with the multiple entrances and gates into the outdoor recreation area, and suggested that the gates would need to be eliminated or a security person may have to be present to monitor these entrances. Cossack noted that her plan was to put up and take down the walkway fencing each day as they do not want to block off their parking lot. Keis suggested a more permanent fencing for the majority of the walkway and questioned the need for putting up and taking down the fence each day. Cossack felt that for the ease of snowplowing the fence should go up and down each day. Cossack asked if they could start with the temporary fence and a security person to see if that situation would work, The City Planner indicated that there is freestanding rigid fencing that could be chained together and easily moved. The Planner stated that his concern with the poly fencing is that it could be easily breached, Fischer stated that his concern was that the poly fencing would not be secure, but suggested that having security in place might do it. Keis indicated that he was not prepared to make a decision on the CUP Amendment this evening, and suggested that the matter be tabled until the next meeting, Keis recommended that in the meantime, Cossack prepare a revised request based on this evening's discussion.
