-6- of business" and, "people of that kind". and other generalizations from "emotionally wrought up people".. He believes Mr. Springfield had made • a substantial concession to -the City when he withdrew the beer license application to "calm the troubled waters" .and, although he had not been in attendance at .the public hearing, could not "recall any direction about a beer license ordinance during the meetings he had attended" . Now, Mr. Gehan concluded,. "Mr. Springfield would be hereafter prohibited from having a beer license , while competitive businesses like the bowling alleys would have their licenses grand- fathered in, and that he .would.be denied the early morning sales hours which he needs to make a commercial profit" . It was Mr. Gehan' s conclusion that . the Commission- recommendations "were not based on factual fairness , but rather on evidence of a questionable nature" . Mayor Sundland assured Mr. Gehan that the Council appreciates his client's position. in the matter and deplores any unfortunate choice of words , but disagreed with the assumption that the changes were targeted at Chick 's or. that . only a small percentage of the residents would want the changes , believing, instead, that the sentiments expressed .during the discussions - "accurately reflected the wishes of the community which the Council is elected to support" . Councilman Ranallo told Mr. Gehan, first the Council had the beer license to contend with, and at- that time , had no idea whatsoever the business intended to stay. open 24 hours a day" . He perceives the meaning of the wording of the application must have been misleading "since all five of us missed it" . The Councilman said "it was when we found out Chick's was going to be open all night, that we realized there was • nothing in our ordinance to prevent that" , and , "Chick' s just pre- cipitated our awareness of the -shortcomings in the ordinance which must be addressed in order that the community would be protected from all-night disturbances , no ,matter where they occur" . Councilman Ranallo also speculated that the majority of the people in St. Anthony would oppose serving beer where 50 percent of the customers are juveniles and anticipated there would be a great deal of opposition to having the Fun Center open all night. "No matter which end of the town is involved" , Councilman Ranallo believes , "the City has the right to regulate the sale - of beer and prevent any business from operating all night long" . Whether Chick 's in Coon Rapids has a good reputation or not, made no .difference to him since he sees the necessity for regulating the hours of operation for all recreational businesses whatsoever, and is personally opposed "to issuing any more beer licenses in the City", preferring .instead to freeze them at their existing level, insisting "the . six or nine which are out now, are more than enough" . The Councilman then pointed out that there are no beer licenses at all.. in Edina becausethey have municipal liquor and have made that decision. Chairman Jones indicated the Commission members had been aware of his stand but had accepted the City .Attorney 's direction regarding the beer license ordinance. Ted Zinner, Attorney for the C. G. Rein Company , said he was in attendance to present the Apache position of overall opposition to the ordinance changes . He reminded the. Council that Apache Plaza, with 50 acres of land and 62 ,000 square feet of commercial space , represents a major share of the commercial activity in the City and said his firm is convinced that the center would be adversely affected by the changes .
