008 COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 11, 1991 Mr. Corson said that when the project was originally initiated, it was with the perception that the improvements would be privately installed. He said that the developer would like control of the improvements so that he can be assured that the improvements will meet the quality standards he has set. Also, the developer would like to let bids now. This would save time and cost. Mayor Bisel explained that this is the first town house improvement in Lino Lakes and the Council would like to work with the developer to be assured that there is quality development. BOY SCOUT TROOP NO. 136 Mayor Bisel noted that Boy Scout Troop No. 136 was visiting the Council this evening. The Scout leader explained that the boys are working on their Citizenship of the Community badges. Each boy introduced himself.

He noted that many complaints and concerns were expressed to the City over the years concerning instances where liquor establishments have promoted activities with live music outside of establishments in parking lots or adjacent property. The proposed ordinance amendment would restrict such entertainment to inside the building of the license holder. This would eliminate the complaints and would keep the liquor disbursement by the licensed establishment in line with the state liquor laws that provide for liquor to be served only in the premises. Council Member Kuether asked what this would do to the churches that have annual picnics with dancing. Mr. Hawkins said that they could not serve beer or intoxicating beverages outside of the building and could not hold a dance and serve such beverages outside of the building. He noted that this ordinance amendment only restricts establishments that sell beer or liquor. If a church was to hold a dance without a beer license or without an intoxicating liquor license, this ordinance amendment would not affect them. Council Member Neal noted that the 49 Club held an outside dance during 1990 and noted that there were uniformed police officers on the premise hired by the owner. He asked if this type of entertainment will be prohibited if this ordinance amendment is enacted. Mr. Hawkins said that there would be no dancing in PAGE 6 1 1 1
