Mounds View City Council January 8, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br />2000 there were 25 cars parked on Irondale Road and on January 1, 2001 there were 38 cars <br />parked along Irondale Road. Ms. Carvelli-Yu drove over to the theater to investigate whether the <br />parking was due to snow removal issues and determined it was not as cars were parked along the <br />entrance to the theater and along curbs in the parking lot. Ms. Carvelli-Yu indicated she had <br />spoken to two different managers at the theater, one who admitted the theater did not have <br />enough parking and another who indicated overflow parking is only an issue on holidays. <br />Mayor Sonterre thanked Ms. Carvelli-Yu for her comments and recommended she speak with <br />Community Development Director Ericson to be added to the agenda for the next Planning and <br />Zoning Commission. <br />Ms. Carvelli-Yu provided fliers with a possible solution to the problem to Council for their <br />review. She is suggesting the theater expand its parking to better accommodate its patrons. <br />Council Member Marty thanked Ms. Carvelli-Yu for bringing this issue to the attention of <br />Council. He indicated parking was a concern when the theater was before Council for approval <br />and the developer had assured Council the movie schedule would be staggered enough that there <br />should never be a problem with parking. <br />Council Member Stigney requested Staff research the developer's agreement for the theater to <br />determine whether there is something in the document that the City could use to help residents <br />with the parking issue. <br />• <br />Ms. Werner of 2765 Sherwood Road requested Council provide her with the total income from <br />the golf course before expenses for the year 2000. <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated he did not have access to that information but said Ms. Werner could <br />contact Mr. Kessel to obtain the information. <br />Ms. Werner inquired as to whether Mr. Hammerschmidt received a percentage of the total <br />income of the golf course before expenses are taken out. <br />Mayor Sonterre stated he was not familiar with the specifics of Mr. Hammerschmidt's contract. <br />Ms. Werner questioned if Mr. Hammerschmidt did not receive a percentage of the total income <br />of the golf course before expenses what amount does he get a percentage of. <br />Ms. Werner inquired as to whether the golf course was profitable and, if not, what the net loss <br />was for the year 2000. <br />Council Member Marty explained the golf course was operating at a loss due to the escalating <br />bond payments. <br />• <br />
