Sargent explained the history of the property. In 2005 the city rezoned the R2 district; the R213 district was for all current duplexes. Upon inspection, this property was not a duplex, requiring rezoning back to R2A. Nawrocki asked if there is a second family living there. Sargent stated there were two families there, with one family removed from the uninhabitable lower level. Motion by Nawrocki, second by Diehm, to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1582, being ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. City Council Minutes Monday, June 14, 2010 Page 5 of 12 Motion by Nawrocki, second by Diehm, to set the second reading of Ordinance No. 1582, for Monday June 28, 2010, at approximately 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. E. 1st Reading of Ordinance 1581, being a zoning amendment as it relates to outdoor seating. Sargent referred to dining establishments requesting out door eating areas allowing alcohol. The Police Chief has requested there be a level of safety for this use. Staff proposed a zoning amendment to the Planning and Zoning Commission (P &Z). Following discussion, the proposal was voted down by a two to one vote. Staff feels there is a need to separate outdoor dining/drinking from the general public. Peterson stated that he spoke against this ordinance at the P &Z meeting, as he felt it is too restrictive in nature. He referred to Albert's outdoor seating, which is not fenced, but patrons should be allowed to sit outside and have a sandwich and a beer. If this area were required to be fenced, patrons would not be able to enter from the front of the restaurant. Children are allowed inside where adults are eating and drinking. Peterson stated that the BWW outdoor area is overkill. Ordinances can not be written to fit every situation. Nawrocki agreed with the Police Chief's recommendation and referred to bottles purchased at liquor stores then dropped in the gutters and along the road. The outdoor seating is for smokers. Nawrocki asked that the blinking lights at Pyromaniacs be reviewed. Jim Hoeft, City Attorney, stated that applicants would need to include outdoor seating areas in their application as part of the premises. Currently, the Police Chief must consider what would deter the passing of liquor. The Police Chief does not want to be in that situation. Staff is trying to create objective standards and take the regulation from the police department and put it where it belongs, in the Community Development Department. If nothing is done, this decision will remain with the Police Chief. This ordinance does not add new restrictions. Diehm indicated this was discussed when the new Police Chief began, as the mast Chief was very restrictive. We need to consider how to encourage new establishments. The Chief is requesting this process be given to Community Development. Diehm suggested meeting with members of the Police Department for additional ideas and comments. Peterson stated that every place is different. We are not inviting people to misbehave. Diehm questioned if this could be allowed at Albert's. Hoeft stated it would need to be included in the premise license. Peterson stated they would have to build a fence. Hoeft stated that would currently be up to the Police Chief, as there are no written requirements at this time. The wording of this ordinance indicates that a barrier around the area would be required and approved by the site plan. Sargent showed pictures of several businesses and indicated that if there is not a defined area business may spill out onto areas such as the city sidewalk. Sargent agreed to look at this further and meet with the Police Chief. Diehm requested examples from other communities. She gave an example of a St. Paul restaurant that had outdoor seating with no drinking allowed. City Council Minutes Monday, June 14, 2010 Page 6 of 12 Sargent stated that he has not been approached by any business regarding this ordinance. Hoeft indicated again that these restrictions are already in place. The point is to put this process in the hands of the P&Z rather than the Police Chief. Diehm recommended holding a work session with the P&Z, City Council, City Attorney, and those holding a liquor license. Motion by William, second by Kelzenberg, to table the first reading of Ordinance 15 &1. Nawrocki disagreed, stating this ordinance was not overly restrictive. If a joint meeting is held, it should include members of the community. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION A. Other Ordinances and Resolutions -none B. Bid Considerations - none C. New Business and Reports - none ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Report of the City Manager Nawrocki requested that the City newsletter, scheduled to be delivered in August, include budget information. Nawrocki requested a grass and general clean up inspection at Grand Central Lofts. Nawrocki stated that the proposed franchise cable agreement will be brought to the Telecommunications Commission on July 13. The public and the City Council are invited to attend. The next step after that is to bring the proposed franchise agreement to the City Council. There will no longer be a cable studio. We would keep channel 15, but not program city things on it. We will obtain our own equipment to place items on channel 16. Toneci= =7 that he has not heard otherwise. Nawrocki suggested that with double digit budget increases over the last several years the budget should be decreased by double digits. He quoted a report on salary reductions. Nawrocki read from a prepared statement regarding the economy. Nawrocki questioned the audit process. Elrite stated that it will be distributed before the end of June and formally presented to the City Council, by the Auditor, at the first meeting in July. Nawrocki indicated that the City will receive an Award of Excellence from the League of Minnesota Cities at their conference in June. Nawrocki stated that he is attending the conference, at no cost to the city, and offered to accept the award on behalf of the city. Felist explained the award application and what an honor it is to receive this award. Our collaboration with the School District to build a new gym and the new public safety building were instrumental in the award application. Felist suggested inviting a representative of the School District to attend the award ceremony. City Council Minutes Monday, June 14, 2010 Page 7 of 12 Nawrocki referred to a resident letter regarding the bad maintenance of the new plantings along University Avenue. Fehst indicated that the State abdicated their responsibility to maintain this area, but we will maintain it as time allows. Report of the City Attorney — nothing to report. CITIZENS FORUM Mark Roskup, 4154 Stinson, stated that we do not need all of these ordinances as people know the difference between right and wrong. Use common sense and everything will work out. ADJOURNMENT Mayor Peterson stated: Don't forget your service men and women. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers. Don't take ourselves too seriously and do a random act of kindness.
