Safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or to the values of property in the vicinity; and (4) The use will provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of public convenience and will contribute to the general welfare. Councilmember Randle asked if the applicant isn't running another business in that zoning area and Mr. Grittman stated it is his understanding the restaurant location is in Minneapolis. Councilmember Walker asked if there is a parcel in Minneapolis that could have been used. He asked where the restaurant is located. Daniel and Yolanda Wang, applicants appeared before the Council. Mr. Wang stated he and his wife came to Minnesota 30 years ago from California. Mrs. Wang started her restaurant the Tea House in three locations. In 2013 only one location was retained. The primary purpose for this request is to expand their kitchen. They like St. Anthony and they would like to return to St. Anthony. Mrs. Wang stated she grew up in a large family and she learned to cook. She always wanted to have her own restaurant. They have had requests for catering which would need a larger kitchen to handle. Councilmember Jenson stated he thinks this is a good fit for St. Anthony.
