Mounds View City Council June 9, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br />1 inattentive driving and, to anyone under the age of 18, that is an automatic license suspension <br />2 and that worked. <br />4 Mayor Linke indicated that may work in a small community but Ramsey County is large and has <br />5 proven itself not to be Mounds View friendly so he does not think something like that would <br />6 work in this City. <br />8 Mr. Haames indicated an officer was sent to his house to discuss the noise with him and, while <br />9 the officer was there, a pick up truck that is a chronic offender went by and the officer did <br />l0 nothing because the truck went by quietly due to the patrol car in the driveway. He then <br />11 indicated the officer suggested that he move if the noise is affecting his sleep. <br />12 <br />13 Mr. Haames indicated he did not like the suggestions of the police officer to move as he pays that <br />14 officers salary and he would like something done about the noise. He then said he cannot sit <br />15 down at his dinner table with the doors or windows shut and have a conversation and could not <br />16 consider attempting to sit on the patio and asked that something be done. <br />17 <br />18 Mayor Linke indicated the City would continue to look into the noise but there is not much that <br />19 can be done. <br />20 <br />Council Member Marty suggested looking into an administrative violation. <br />23 Dan Hall representing the Mermaid at 2200 Highway 10 addressed the Council and provided a <br />24 handout concerning the situation he is having with the fire inspector building inspector. <br />25 <br />26 Mr. Hall indicated that he feels that Kathy is a nice person and has her heart in the right place but <br />27 seems to need help interpreting the City's Code as there is confusion with some of the rules she <br />28 is attempting to enforce upon him. <br />29 <br />3o Mr. Hall indicated he was told the maximum occupancy should be 240 but the number is 280 so <br />31 he obtained the doors required spent the money having them installed and then received a letter <br />32 indicating she had reinterpreted the Code and he can now have 900 people in the tent but needs <br />33 to redo the doors he just did. He then indicated it confuses him and he is not sure what the actual <br />34 .requirement should be. <br />35 <br />36 Mr. Hall reviewed Section 2402 concerning tents and canopies and indicated he has a clear span <br />37 membrane structure and asked for clarification as to how his structure fits into this definition. <br />38 <br />39 Mr. Hall indicated this structure is not a tent as it does not have poles or cables, it is a structure <br />40 that has membranes that slide in between the structure pieces and is bolted together and anchored <br />41 to the ground. <br />42 <br />Mr. Hall indicated that Kathy has indicated to him that there are land use issues that also must be <br />satisfied and asked whether Council discussed these items with her and authorized her to deal <br />45 with him on the matter. <br />
