Mounds View City Council June 9, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br /> <br />inattentive driving and, to anyone under the age of 18, that is an automatic license suspension 1 <br />and that worked. 2 <br /> 3 <br />Mayor Linke indicated that may work in a small community but Ramsey County is large and has 4 <br />proven itself not to be Mounds View friendly so he does not think something like that would 5 <br />work in this City. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Mr. Haames indicated an officer was sent to his house to discuss the noise with him and, while 8 <br />the officer was there, a pick up truck that is a chronic offender went by and the officer did 9 <br />nothing because the truck went by quietly due to the patrol car in the driveway. He then 10 <br />indicated the officer suggested that he move if the noise is affecting his sleep. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Mr. Haames indicated he did not like the suggestions of the police officer to move as he pays that 13 <br />officers salary and he would like something done about the noise. He then said he cannot sit 14 <br />down at his dinner table with the doors or windows shut and have a conversation and could not 15 <br />consider attempting to sit on the patio and asked that something be done. 16 <br /> 17 <br />Mayor Linke indicated the City would continue to look into the noise but there is not much that 18 <br />can be done. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Council Member Marty suggested looking into an administrative violation. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Dan Hall representing the Mermaid at 2200 Highway 10 addressed the Council and provided a 23 <br />handout concerning the situation he is having with the fire inspector/building inspector. 24 <br /> 25 <br />Mr. Hall indicated that he feels that Kathy is a nice person and has her heart in the right place but 26 <br />seems to need help interpreting the City’s Code as there is confusion with some of the rules she 27 <br />is attempting to enforce upon him. 28 <br /> 29 <br />Mr. Hall indicated he was told the maximum occupancy should be 240 but the number is 280 so 30 <br />he obtained the doors required spent the money having them installed and then received a letter 31 <br />indicating she had reinterpreted the Code and he can now have 900 people in the tent but needs 32 <br />to redo the doors he just did. He then indicated it confuses him and he is not sure what the actual 33 <br />requirement should be. 34 <br /> 35 <br />Mr. Hall reviewed Section 2402 concerning tents and canopies and indicated he has a clear span 36 <br />membrane structure and asked for clarification as to how his structure fits into this definition. 37 <br /> 38 <br />Mr. Hall indicated this structure is not a tent as it does not have poles or cables, it is a structure 39 <br />that has membranes that slide in between the structure pieces and is bolted together and anchored 40 <br />to the ground. 41 <br /> 42 <br />Mr. Hall indicated that Kathy has indicated to him that there are land use issues that also must be 43 <br />satisfied and asked whether Council discussed these items with her and authorized her to deal 44 <br />with him on the matter. 45
