Moe’s Report <br />April 9, 2007 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />Staff would like to point out that there are no guidelines for outdoor “events” <br />associated with a licensed facility; the City’s position has been as long as an event <br />does not reduce the number of required parking stalls and is conducted in <br />compliance with nuisance codes, an event may take place. The Council may want <br />to consider explicit regulations regarding outdoor events, such as hours of activity, <br />amplified noise limits, etc. <br /> <br />The Code pertaining to outdoor consumption reads as follows: <br /> <br />Subd. 8. Outdoor Consumption Endorsement. A special endorsement <br />may be issued by the City to the holder of a regular on-sale liquor or on- <br />sale wine license to allow sales and consumption of liquor or wine <br />outdoors when the outside service area is immediately adjacent to and <br />contiguous with the licensed premises. The licensee shall make <br />application for the special endorsement to the City and provide site plans <br />which illustrate the proposed outdoor service area. The special <br />endorsement may be issued by the City Council to the licensee by <br />resolution after a public hearing on the special endorsement is held. The <br />designated outside service area shall not reduce the number of off-street <br />parking spaces which would be required if the licensed premises together <br />with the outside service area were to be newly constructed in conformity <br />with the City’s zoning code. The City may also require improvements to <br />the outside service area prior to issuing the special endorsement, <br />including but not limited to, safety barriers or other enclosures to be <br />placed around the perimeter of the outside service area in order to protect <br />patrons from any hazards, including vehicular traffic. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution 7043, a resolution approving the renewal <br />of Moe’s outdoor sales and consumption endorsement. Moe’s is presently <br />authorized to sell and serve alcohol on their deck and they need this endorsement in <br />order to continue to sell. Staff recommends that Moe’s provide the City with a <br />mitigation plan for the outdoor event scheduled for June addressing the time that <br />music will be played, whether it is amplified or not, and what actions it will take to <br />ensure compliance with the City’s noise control regulations. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Desaree Crane <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
