-9- concern seems to be that any place which stays open all night would become a hangout for. people on their way home. Councilman . Ranallo does not perceive there would be too many restaurants with a capacity • seating- of 50 which: would be interested in locating in St. Anthony and the Mayor added that the fact .the City has municipalliquor discourages that .kind of business from locating here . Mr. Soth then discussed the procedures which must be followed before the proposed ordinances would become law. He indicated there is no J legal requirement that three readings must 'be- held,:on�se_p.arate--n ,ghts . but it would be .possible to approve the second readings at the next meeting, waive the third readings and adopt one, or even all three ordinances , at the same . time. Mrs .. Makowske wondered if, since the beer license in its final form had not been presented for Planning Commission consideration, that .a public- hearing would now be necessary before the ordinance could be. adopted. Mr. Soth told.her - ther-e-;ar-:e only certain ordinances like the one. which. changes- the classification of uses , which require a public hearing; and, although the Council decided to .hold .that particular- hearing before the Planning Commission, they have . always had the power to conduct such hearings themselves .

Jim Cassidy who lives across. from .Apache at 3529 Coolidge Street N.E . , objected strongly to having any type of ' all night business open close to his home . When Mr. Kozlak indicated he -believed the ordinance should not be limited as to location, Mr. Zinner objected-, saying Apache Plaza is completely isolated on 51 acres and separated from any residential developments by an open field- and railroad track on the south; a main thoroughfare on the east and "there is a berm which protects the - neighbors in Mr. Jones ' area" . He insisteda mall restaurant, located inside -the building, should cause no disturbance for the neighbors . As proof, he mentioned that the. Italian restaurant in the shopping mallhad stayed open past 1 :00 A.M. for about a month recently and, as far as he knows , there wasn' t a single complaint made to the City. He insisited the Apache management should be permitted to continue to make the judgments as to whether or not prospective tenants would be appropriate uses for their own area. Por. Kozlak wondered if there might- be a separate zoning classification • set up for internal malls and. Mrs . Stowell indicated she could look with favor on an ordinance which would set distances from residential
