LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 2011 6 <br />The following residents did not oppose a reduction in the slow, no-wake hours from <br />sunset to noon down to sunset to 9 a.m. for Lakes Jane/DeMontreville/Olson. They <br />strongly opposed any such reduction in slow/no wake hours on Lake Elmo Lake. They <br />noted that everybody could share the lake by all sports (fishing, canoe, kayaking, and <br />pontoon) and enjoy morning tranquility. <br /> <br />Steve Bachman, 3141 Klondike Avenue, <br />Stephen Johnson, 2915 Lake Elmo Avenue N. <br />Dennis Treml, 2715 Lake Elmo Avenue N. <br />Wendy Griffin, 2835 Lake Elmo Avenue N. <br />John/Bonnie Butenhoff, 2976 Lake Elmo Avenue N. <br />Donald Durand, 2901 Lake Elmo Avenue N. <br />Marlon Gunderson and Julie Bunn, 2986 Lake Elmo Avenue N. <br />Mike Denoma, 3065 Klondike Avenue N. <br /> <br />The Council will schedule discussion on the petition for changes to City Ordinance <br />Section 97.21 (B) Hours of Operation, as stated, on Lakes Jane/DeMontreville/Olson to a <br />future Council meeting in October. <br /> <br />Consideration of an Off-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License for a New Liquor Store <br />Located at 11227 Stillwater Blvd. <br /> <br />The City Council considered an application for an Off-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License <br />for a new liquor store request for Village Wine and spirits located at 11227 Stillwater <br />Blvd. N. by applicant Richard Kosman, LFD, Inc. This item was in front of the City <br />Council at the August 23rd meeting, at which time the item was tabled. The City Council <br />directed City Staff to review the parking and spacing on the site and to notify residents <br />within a four block radius of the property. <br /> <br />Planner Matzek reported there are five stalls striped in the front of this property. Given <br />the eastern property line location, angle of the building and septic system location, there <br />is likely room for additional parking spaces in the rear, though maybe only a few. In <br />October of 2010, the City Council approved an amendment to allow a waiver for business <br />located in the Village Area south of Highway 5 of which this property is included. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jack Griffin reported the AUAR completed for the Village Area conducted <br />a traffic analysis for the intersection of Trunk Highway 5 and Laverne Avenue N. in <br />2007. This analysis shows very low traffic counts for the peak am and peak pm hours. <br /> <br />Bill Wacker, 3603 Laverne Avenue N., voiced a concern about product being delivered <br />because there are no provisions for unloading and there is a 3-ton road limit. The alley is <br />not a thoroughfare and parking of delivery trucks would block the alley. <br /> <br />Dan Turnquist, 2964 30th Street Circle N., had a problem with concentration of two off- <br />sale liquor stores in a small area. He asked if this proposal would fit in the overall <br />Village Plan.
