Ken Anderson, Community Development Director, reviewed the history of the moratorium. On February 14, 2000, the Council adopted a resolution imposing a 120 day moratorium on the change in use of property within business commercial zoning districts. The moratorium is scheduled to expire June 13, 2000. Mr. Anderson is asking the council to extend the moratorium to July 1, 2000. The reason for the extension is to allow more time to submit the Comprehensive Plan to the Metropolitan Council for their formal review and approval. One element of the Comprehensive Plan that deals with a surface water management plan needs modification. This issue will be discussed at the Six Cities Watershed meeting on June 15, 2000. Comments have already been received from the Rice Creek Watershed District that need to be incorporated as well. Lee Stauch, 1155 Khyber Lane, felt that more public input on the Comprehensive Plan is needed. Mr. Stauch was reminded that a Public Hearing was held by the Planning and Zoning Commission on May City Council Meeting June 12, 2000 Page 10 9'h. Mr. Stauch stated he felt that the Focus Newspaper is not reporting enough local news.

Conditional Use Permit Case #2000-0612. 4923 Central Avenue- Cairo Grill This item was reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and passed on to the Council for their approval with the following conditions: a.

This information is crucial to determine parking spaces required, as the restaurant plans to have seating for 36. The loud noise levels of the roo~op unit at the Jerusalem Market entered into the discussion at this time. The Mayor and other councilmembers have been at this site to review this problem, and feel the noise levels of the roo~op unit are unacceptable. The Mayor suggested that the unit be turned so the noise would face Central Avenue instead of the residential area. Ken Anderson stated that the noise levels of the unit were tested, and they were high. Options to take care of this problem were discussed with the City Attorney; i.e., citing the owner/tenant of the building; trying to work with the owner/tenant to repair or replace the unit. Mr. Anderson stated that he and the Building Official couM visit with the owner/tenant of the Jerusalem Market regarding the roofiop unit and give him City Council Meeting June 12, 2000 Page 12 a reasonable amount of time to correct theproblem or cite them. It should be noted that Cairo Grill and Jerusalem Market are owned by the same person. Tod Hanson .fi'om 4918 Tyler spoke regarding the referenced roofiop unit. Mr. Hanson lives in the area of the loud roo~op unit. He reiterated that the history of one jointly-owned business usually carries over to the otherjointly-owned business. After considerable discussion, a motion was made by Councilmember Hunter, seconded by Councilmember Jolly, to table the Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of the Cairo Grill in the Retail Business Zoning District at 4923 Central Avenue NE, based upon the fact that city staff has not received a revised floor plan of the building showing tenant spaces by size and uses needed to calculate parking requirements prior to the issuance of a building permit. Motion passed unanimously. The issue of the noisy roofiop unit at the Jerusalem Market was again discussed. The Mayor directed staff(Ken Anderson, Mel Collova) to visit the owner/tenant of the Jerusalem Market to see if they can work this problem out. Councilmember Hunter stated he would like to go along on this visit with Mr. Anderson and Mr. Coilova. , The League of Minnesota Cities Annual Conference is June 13-16 in St. Cloud.
