Page 12 <br />May 13, 1996 <br />Mounds View City Council <br />due to its close proximity to the Sunrise Christian Daycare/Church. Three potential tenants have been <br />found for the Bridgeman property, all of whom have requested a liquor license. In order to allow this, an <br />amendment would need to be made to Section 502.04 of the Liquor Code: An amendment has been <br />drafted by Bob Long which would allow a license to be issued within 50 feet of the property line of a <br />school or church only for those property that abut Highway 10 between Long Lake Road and Silver Lake <br />Road. Ms. Bennett stated she spoke with the pastor at Sunrise Methodist who stated he would announce <br />the proposed change to his congregation. <br />Mayor Linke stated a list of eight signatures had been submitted to the city indicating their desire to NOT <br />have liquor served at the site. Additionally, one Planning Commission member also called to oppose the <br />change to the code. <br />Ms. Blanchard indicated that she had a problem with amending the ordinance for just one area. She feels it <br />could set a precedence for other areas. <br />Ms. Bennett noted that she feels it will be difficult to attract asit-down style restaurant without a liquor <br />license. <br />Bob Long commented that this is not a zoning change, therefore the city can set whatever distance <br />requirements are reasonable m regard to liquor licenses. This could be done for a specific geographical <br />area. <br />Ms. Bennett noted that the problem with that particular area is that the church property goes all the way to <br />Highway 10. <br />Alice Frits. 8072 Long Lake Road stated the new pedestrian bridge will allow kids to cross over right in <br />front of the restaurant. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Hankner/Quick to Approve the Introduction of Ordinance No. 582, Amending the <br />Mounds View Municipal Code Section 502.04, Subdivision 2(c) Entitled, "Intoxicating Liquor, <br />Eligibility". <br />VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br />Mayor Linke noted that a Public Hearing on this item will be held on Tuesday, May 28, 1996. <br />REPORTS: <br />Report of Council members: <br />Quick: No report. <br />Blanchard: No report. <br />Hankner: No report. <br />
