Council Meeting Minutes July 23, 1985 I Proper indicated that Ninth Avenue is a 32-foot wide residential street and, with parking on both sides of the street, there would be about 20 feet for traffic which would be sufficient for emer- gency vehicles; Proper further indicated that this 32-foot wide street is the same as other residential streets in the city. Hearne anticipates an overflow four times a month because the events would be time-staggered. The Legion is looking at parking across the street in the office's parking lot, using a runner-type service. Hearne further stated the Legion is thinking of using a van service to bring bingo players, which would alleviate some parking. Harcus noted that, although the neighborhood concerns are genuine, he has heard from St. Anthony that the American Legion is run very well and that when there is a problem, the Legion has acted and taken care of it. In regard to the parking situation, Harcus felt the council is not in a position to make a decision at this time. I Harcus directed staff to look at parking alternatives and restric- tions in the area and to come back in August with a recommendation, advising the residents when the recommendation would be on the agenda. In response to Harcus's question, the homeowners asked that a fence be installed by the American Legion even if J&B Auto does not modify their plan. Motion by Harcus, seconded by Janecek, to: 1. WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING NC-73 SUB- JECT TO CONDITIONS; 2. DIRECT CITY STAFF TO ASK J&B AUTO TO CONSIDER A MODIFICATION OF THEIR PLAN; AND 3. HAVE THE CITY PLANNER APPROVE THE REVISED LANDSCAPING PLANS (fence with p 1 anti ngs on the homeowners' side). 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried Sinda stated the purpose of this item is to set a public hearing for August 13, 1985, for consideration of a Liquor License for the American Legion. Motion by Janecek, seconded by Blomquist, to SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR AUGUST 13, 1985, TO CONSIDER THE APPLICATION FOR A LIQUOR LICENSE BY THE AMERICAN LEGION POST 513. I Benke stated that, if the liquor license is granted, it would be renewed annually which would give the residents an opportunity to address any problems which had arisen during the prior year. Hearne stated the American Legion has held a liquor license since 1948 and there have been no problems in the last four years since he had been Commander of the Post.
