Mounds View City Council June 9, 1986
Regular Meeting Page Two
Jeff Moen, 5284 Greenfield, stated he is the property
manager for the apartment building, and they feel it
is unnecessarily noisy at closing time.
David Carlstrom, 5297 Edgewood Drive, read sections
of City Code Chapter 100, specifically 100.09, subd.
4, 5 and 6, stating it is the owners responsibility
to clear his premises at the end of the evening. He
stated the noise problems continue past the allowable
time, and he feels it is sufficient cause to revoke
the license of Muldoon's. He added the lights in the
parking lot do not work, which encourages the problem
outside, and he feels it is the owners responsibility
to take care of these problems.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained a violation of
this type would be handled by a citation rather than
an arrest, and the Police Department feels they are
successful in handling the problem by clearing
:he parking lot versus issuing citations. He added
-the Police Department goes through the parking lots
of all the liquor establishments between midnight
and 2 AM, as time allows, but they are often called
out for an emergency.
Attorney Karney clarified that the purpose of these
public hearings was to allow the citizens to come
forth and air their complaints. The City Council
will listen to them, then meet with the Police
Department and then the owners of the various
establishments where problems have been noted, and
address these problems. He added the public
hearings will put pressure on the Council to put
pressure on the owners to take corrective action.
Mr. Carlstrom asked what time the food service is
in operation at Muldoon's, particularly on Sundays.
Mr. Conroy replied until 1 AM, except on Sundays,
when it is 12.
Mr. Michna stated he has been told by the workers
at Muldoon's that food is not served, that something
is always broken in the kitchen. He added the same
omplaints were aired last year, and he would like
,ction taken. He stated he has asked to speak to
the owner of the operation while in Muldoon's and
has been told he is never in the building past
afternoon.

'Regular Meeting
Duane Duke, no address given, stated he agrees with every
:hing Mr. Michna has said. Other concerns noted in addition
to the noise was that patrons sometimes urinate outside, the
fence has been broken many times, and disrespect for property.
Janice Johnson,_ 5259 Greenfield Avenue, stated she
wrote a letter to the City last year and voiced her
complaints at that time, of which noise was one of the
major ones.
Councilmember Haake stated she heard many of these same
complaints last year, and she agreed they are a bother
to the citizens and something must be done about them now.
Attorney Karney explained the standards to use in deciding
to renew or not renew a liquor license are substantial,
and he reviewed the requirements which must be met in
order to not renew. He stated the Council would have
to make sure they have sufficient evidence and grounds
to not renew the license, and there is a substantial
burden of proof, and it would have to be from more
than'a few citizens. He stated they would require
hard evidence and documentation.
Mr. Duke stated he felt if off -duty officers or bouncers
were station outside, it would alleviate most of the
?roblems.
Mayor Linke stated the citizens should call the Police
Department and file a complaint when there is a
problem, which will help to document the situation.
Attorney Karney advised that the times when an officer
cannot get there in time, the citizens should file a
complaint against the establishment. He also stated
that pictures or a video tape would be very helpful
as evidence.
Michna stated he was angry that the license went
from a restaurant to a bar.
Councilmember Haake advised the residents to file
complaints. She also advised Mr. Conroy that he
should fix the outside lights, hire an attendent for
outside, and advise the patrons as they leave that
they are to clear out of the parking lot also.
Mr. Conroy replied that the Council should tell him
what to do, and he will do it. He added he has no
objection to having an off -duty security officer,
and he will fix the outdoor lights.
4r. Michna stated he did want it known that since last
year's hearing, Mr. Conroy has kept the yard neat, and
the fence in good repair most of the time.
Mounds View City Council June 9, 1986
Regular Meeting Page Four
Mayor Linke stated the situation should not have to get
.his far, and Mr. Conroy should be able to think ahead
and tackle the problems at the very beginning. He
stated he would also like the Council to receive more
advance notice of special events that are going to be
held there, to allow time for discussion and to work
out potential problems.
Mr. Conroy replied that he would like to cooperate, and
he will do his best.
Attorney Karney advised that the purpose of the public
hearing is for license renewal, and revokation or
suspension can take place at any time, and the Council
does not have to wait until renewal time to do something.
Councilmember Blanchard recommended Mr. Conroy repair
the outdoor lights in the parking lot.
Mayor Linke agreed, stating he should meet the standards
for parking lot lighting. Mayor Linke closed the
public hearing and opened the next public hearing
at 7:45 PM.
Mr. Michna stated he does not feel Donatelle's
has been much of a problem, and problems that have
)een brought up before have been cleared up. He
however, that a buffer zone is required
around parking lots but it has not been enforced
at Donatelle's, and there were two accidents that
he was aware of in the past year with people leaving
Donatelle's and pulling onto County Road H2.
Ed Donatelle replied that he cannot obtain any
additional land for parking. He has spoken with
the owner of the adjacent property in the past
and has informed him he would like to purchase
some, but has been told it is tied up in probate.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained the City has
tried to assist Donatelle's by talking to the O'Neils,
but they are not willing to sell off a portion of it.
Mayor Linke explained this establishment is grand
fathered in with their rights, so the City cannot
require the 10' buffer strip.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley also explained that
County Road H2 is a County road and the City cannot
force them to do anything special with it.
layor Linke closed the public hearing and opened the
next one at 7:51 PM.

Councilmember Haake questioned if leaving the
development agreement as it stands would cloud
the agreement with the MTC.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley replied he feels the
MTC is nitpicking, in excluding provisions that
are not applicable to them. He explained a standard
agreement was used as Staff did not have the time
to customize one for this particular case.
ouncilmember Haake recommended writing a cover letter
,tating that it is a standard form, and certain exclu-
sions will be made for the MTC. She added they must also
consider the phone issue, and the City should also delete
the necessity of the MTC having to install a pay
telephone on the site.

Director Thatcher reported that Ronald Richardson 10.
has submitted information to the City through Attorney
Meyers, and his banker is requesting that the letter
of credit have an expiration date.
Attorney Karney stated he will have to research
the issue further to see if an expiration date
would be appropriate. He added that if they do
establish one, it should extend beyond the first
of the year.
Mike Rich, representing Mr. Richardson, stated he
had spoken with Mr. Richardson's banker, who told
him an expiration date was required. He added that
Mr. Richardson could request an extention to cover
any additional time that is necessary, or the City
could draw on the letter. He agreed that the date
could be advanced, to allow ample time for
construction to be completed.
Attorney Karney questioned the amount of the letter
of credit, wondering whether $10,000 would be
sufficient to protect the City.
Director Thatcher stated that $10,000 would be
sufficient.
Motion /Second: Quick /Blanchard to table this item
until the next regular meeting, on June 23, 1986,
