Page 5 • May 28, 1996 Mounds View City Council the city. The public expects the council to uphold the codes as they have been written, therefore she could not support approval of the ordinance. Mayor Linke explained that the owner of the FINA station was asking for a variance. He would have considered the variance if it had been for a lesser amount. Ms. Trude stated she would like more time to deliberate on the ordinance change. The owner of the Bridgeman property has not been particularly cooperative with the city in the case of the easements, therefore she does not see a need to act so quickly on this matter. In looking at the letter from Sunrise Methodist Church, she does not feel adequate time was given to allow them to hold a meeting of discussion with their congregation. Mayor Linke stated the congregation was notified two times of the May 28th council meeting. A member of the Executive Council of the Sunrise Methodist Church was present and explained that if any church member had any objections to the ordinance change, they were to notify one of the board members. Several people did approach him, however he noted there was really no major objection. Their main • concern would be what else could go in to the property if the new restaurant closed. Ms. Trude noted that this ordinance change would apply to any church in Mounds View. She is not sure what areas of the city could be impacted by this change. This is a change from the original ordinance that was introduced. Mr. Bob Long reminded that restaurants will need to renew their liquor license annually and they will need to submit their gross annual sales receipts which should be sufficient to determine whether or not they have complied with the 60% food sales requirement. Mr. Quick stated he sees this situation as being much the same as the Donatelles or Robert's Off 10 property. There are probably more children passing by these restaurants than what there will be at the Bridgeman property. He feels the values and ideas that are instilled in the children by parents play a much larger role than what the children are exposed to at a establishment which serves liquor.
