Mounds View City Council August 24, 1987 <br />Regular Meeting Page Eleven <br />Councilmember Hankner asked how much seating is planned <br />for the dining area, as well as in the bar. <br />Mr. Povlitzki replied there would be 25 to 30 tables for <br />4 in the dining room, and he is not sure how much seating <br />is available in the bar compared to the dining room. He <br />added the original fire capacity was listed as 887 people, <br />and he plans for the new design to provide for 250 to <br />300 people. <br />Councilmember Hankner stated she was hesitant to take <br />any action yet, until all the reports are in. <br />Mr. Povlitzki stated he would appreciate no longer delay <br />than necessary. He added he will be meeting the require- <br />ments given him by all the inspectors. <br />Clerk /Administrator Pauley stated the Council could <br />issue a license contingent upon having a certificate <br />of occupancy issued. <br />Mr. Povlitzki stated they would be having a full menu <br />for the dining room, to include steak, chicken, shrimp <br />and ribs. <br />Mayor Linke explained a full menu is required before <br />the City will issue a liquor license. <br />Bill Buckingham, 5220 Greenfield, criticized the Council <br />for how they have handled this matter. He stated he <br />did not get a notice of the public hearing until two <br />days ago, and it was scheduled on the agenda for 7:25 PM <br />and did not start until 10:16 PM. He also stated there <br />should be adequate seating and speakers in the hallway <br />so everyone can hear. <br />Mayor Linke explained the public hearings are scheduled <br />for a specific time to start but the Council will not cut <br />people off, and they cannot predict how long each hearing <br />will last. He added that the Council chamber has <br />adequate seating for most discussions, and they have looked <br />into purchasing speakers, but it would be very expensive. <br />Councilmember Hankner added the tinning of the hearings is <br />very difficult, as it is hard to judge how many people <br />will be coming on an issue. <br />Mr. Buckingham asked what Mr. Povlitzki's prior businesses <br />in Mounds View were, and whether there were any Police <br />calls on those businesses. <br />Mr. Povlitzki stated he has been involved in Loose Ends <br />and the Anchor Inn, and that the Police were called at <br />various times. <br />
