Mayor Nyquist recognized a representative of the applicant who requested that the City Council be polled regarding their attitude towards the project due to the possible change in Industrial Revenue Bond policy by the federal government.

RECESS The Brooklyn Center City Council recessed at 8 :20 p.m. and reconvened at 8 :45 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING ON SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR PROJECT NO. 1980 -24 (67TH AVENUE NORTH STORM SEWER EXTENSION FROM SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY TO SHINGLE CREEK) The Director of Public Works stated that notices of the proposed assessments and of this hearing have been sent to the owners of all benefited properties and that notice of the hearing has also been published in the official paper.

The Director of Public Works stated that the City had received a written objection to the proposed assessment against Tract A, RLS 1382 from the law firm of Franke, Riach, and Franke representing the Brooklyn Center Development Company, owner of the property located at 1701 -07 69th Avenue North in Brooklyn Center. The Director of Public Works reviewed the existing storm drainage systems within and adjacent to the established assessment district. The Director of Public Works 12 -21 -81 -11- noted that it is the established policy of the City that storm sewer assessments are determined within a given assessment district in such a way as to provide a uniform total assessment rate for the installation of storm sewer within the drainage area served by the storm sewer system.

DISCUSSION ITEMS POLICE DEPARTMENT LIQUOR LICENSE ANNUAL REPORT The City Manager referred Council members to the annual liquor license report prepared by the Police Department and pointed . out that the report reviews police activity at all on -sale liquor and beer establishments in Brooklyn Center. Regarding the Green Mill liquor license, he explained that the furniture manufacturer has apparently lost the order for the Green Mill Restaurant in Brooklyn Center and has not made any furniture for their facility; therefore, they must rent furniture. He stated that the staff is recommending approval of the liquor license for the Green Mill subject to the City Manager's approving the temporary seating arrangement. He pointed out that regarding the Pizza Feat Restaurant, the staff is recommending that the Council adopt the Hearing Examiner's report. The Chief of Police noted that the Green Mill informed the staff of their problem at 4:30 p.m. today and that it appears they will not be opening the entire restaurant at this point. The City Attorney commented that he does not think the Council has .enough information with regard to the Green Mill liquor license to make a decision this evening and that the Council could approve the liquor 'license if the total number of seats are provided in the restaurant as originally planned. There was a motion by Councilmember Kuefler and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to approve the on -sale liquor license for the Green Mill Restaurant contingent on 12 -21 -81 -16- the Green Mill Restaurant meeting the seating requirements as originally proposed for the restaurant facility. The City Attorney reviewed his memorandum on the Earle Brown Bowl and pointed out two facts to the Council. He stated that as the restaurant has been operated in the past, it did not meet the 150 seat requirement. Initially, he pointed out, the Earle 'Brown Bowl has not met the food - liquor split as required by City ordinance. The <City - Attorney proceeded to review the Tamarack Inn case in the City of Long Lake. He noted that the Supreme Court struck down the City of Long Lake's revocation of the liquor license for the Tamarack Inn. IIe stated he believes if the Long Lake City Council suspended instead of revoked the liquor license at the Tamarack Inn the Supreme Court may not have struck down the revocation. He stated he believes the Earle Brown Bowl situation is similar to the Tamarack Inn case. The City Attorney stated he recommends that the City Council not renew the liquor license at Earle Brown Bowl until changes are made in the restaurant operation. He explained that the staff held a conference with the applicant and discussed this _proposal. He stated that the possibility of renewing the license and allowing the Earle Brown Bowl to accomodate the bowling tournament would present a problem similar to the Tamarack Inn situation. He stated the applicant has indicated that remodeling would require Planning Commission approval and would cause a further delay in issuing the liquor license. The City Manager pointed out that a new plan has been submitted by the applicant to remodel the restaurant area of the Earle Brown Bowl. He presented a sketch of the plan to the City Council for their review. He stated that remodeling could be accomplished without Planning Commission review and approval. The City Attorney pointed out in response to Councilmember Kuefler's comments that the Earle Brown Bowl could only meet the restaurant seating requirements by counting seats in the bar. He explained that other restaurants in the City has spent a great deal of money to comply with the ordinance and that the Earle Brown Bowl is the only establishment that has not met the ordinance requirement. Councilmember Kuefler inquired what the City's authority is with regard, to granting liquor licenses. The City Attorney replied that the licensing of liquor establishments is an authority granted by the State and that the City, by state law, can issue liquor licenses to hotels and motels, restaurants, and exclusive liquor establishments. Mayor Nyquist recognized Mr. Rich Forschler representing Mr. Jim Madden of the Earle Brown Bowl. Mr. Forschler stated that the City Attorney has offered sound advice to the Council but noted that the court, in the Tamarack Inn case, stated it was not referring to other violations by liquor establishments pointing out that the Tamarack Inn case referred to specific structural problems with the establishment. He noted that Mr. Madden cannot waive his right to sue the City of Brooklyn Center, since no one can waive that right. He explained Mr. Madden has proposed changes to make the Earle Brown Bowl more of a Supper Club establishment including changing the advertising and managerial philosophy. 12 -21 -81 -17- Mayor Nyquist inquired what the time table would be for this change. .Mr.. Madden reviewed the plan for increasing the number of seats in the restaurant to 150 and requested that he be allowed to keep the liquor license while remodeling is accomplish'' He explained his plan is two pronged pointing out that in two to three weeks he could meet the seating requirements by removing one wall. He explained the second phase of the plan would be to change the entrance and complete the remodeling and that this would require Planning Commission review and approval. The Director.of Planning & Inspection stated that the problem with remodeling occurs when added seating correspondingly requires additional parking. He stated that when the changes in seating exceed the parking provided an amendment to the plan must be required. Mayor Nyquist inquired whether the Earle Brown Bowl liquor license could be approved similar to the contingencies placed on the Green Mill's liquor license approval. The City Attorney stated that he does not see a problem with this as long as the 150 seats are provided at the time of the issuance of the liquor license. Councilmember Fignar stated that he would like to give Mr. Madden an opportunity to proceed with his plans to comply with the ordinance requirements. Councilmember Lhotka inquired whether the Council could review the renewal at the January 11, 1982 meeting. The City Attorney recommended a renewal that becomes operative when the required 150 seats become available. He stated that if no action is taken this evening, the Council could review the 'renewal of the liquor license on January 11th and that this is the recommendation he would make. Councilmember Lhotka stated he would recommend that the Council not renew the liquor license for Earle Brown Bowl until it is reviewed by the Council on January 11, 1982 and to instruct the staff and Mr. Madden to agree on guidelines with regard to the promotion of food, seating, and general managerial guidelines. Councilmember Kuefler stated that he likes Councilmember Lhotka's concept and also appreciates Councilmember Fignar's comments. He suggested making the liquor license for the Earle Brown Bowl operative when 150 seats become available along with other changes in food marketing to the satisfaction of the City Manager. He stated that this will allow them to comply as soon as they complete their work. The City Attorney stated that Councilmember Lhotka appears to suggest management guidelines and that these are discretionary matters the Council should approve prior to the issuance of the license. Councilmember Lhotka inquired of Mr. Madden how long it would take to remodel the interior of the Earle Brown Bowl Restaurant area. Mr. Madden stated he could have this remodeling accomplished by the first of the year. Councilmember Lhotka then suggested that the Council should review the liquor license on January 11, 1982. Councilmember Fignar stated that he would recommend approval based on Mr. Madden's plans submitted this evening. Councilmember Lhotka stated that his - concern is follow - through by Mr. Madden and assurances that the restaurant will be promoted. There was a motion by Councilmember Kuefler and seconded by Councilmember Fignar to approve the on -sale liquor license for the Earle Brown Bowl contingent on the Earle Brown Bowl providing to the City Manager evidence that it meets the seating requirements and also showing an upgrading of the supper menu and delivery of services and promotion of a Supper Club environment.

The City Attorney recommended that December 30th at 9:00 a.m. be set as a, hearing date if the applicant so chooses to exercise the hearing option and notifies the City of his decision on or before December 24, 1981.
