General Business 8.05) 3.2 Malt Liquor License for West Medicine Lake Community Club City Manager explained this is the annual renewal of the 3.2 Malt Liquor License for West Medicine Lake Community Club. She noted that this business is a non -conforming use in the RSF-1 Zoning District. She stated in the past, the Council has tried to mitigate some of the concerns from the neighbors by attaching conditions on the liquor license. She explained that on February 22, 2005, a representative from the club requested that the signage condition be removed as a condition of the liquor license so they could be treated as any other person or business in respect to signage. At that meeting, the Council stated that when the liquor license came up for renewal in 2006, they would review the complaints/calls made to the establishment in 2005, and if there were no sign complaints, they would consider the request. She noted that staff mailed the staff report to this item to the adjacent neighborhood. Mark Hlavacek, 11831 18th Avenue North, stated there have been a number of issues with the club, and the signage issue has been ongoing for 10 years. He stated he is unsure how many sign violations were reported last year, and he noted that there is still signage debris on the corner this evening. He stressed that there shouldn't be a violation of any of the conditions. He stated the past history of signage and other violations prove that the conditions aren't taken seriously or with respect. He noted that the chairman of the club changes each year, and they change rental agencies every two years. Adopted Council Minutes Regular Meeting of January 24, 2006 Page 4 of 4 Mayor Johnson stated by removing the condition, the club would need to comply with the current sign ordinance. That would eliminate any implication that they are allowed to place illegal signs, and place them on the same footing as any business or individual who posts temporary signs (such as for real estate, garage sales, and special events). The only temporary signs specifically allowed in the RSF-1 district are on -premise real estate signs. Therefore, by removing the signage condition on the Resolution, it restricts the club more. Community Development Director Hurlburt added the existing signage language has conflicting terms as it refers to arrows and balloons that can be put up on the day of an event. The signs described in this condition aren't allowed by the Sign Ordinance or by anyone else in the community. She noted that the records from 2005 don't indicate any sign complaints, and if there were, it would have been difficult to enforce since it conflicted with the City's Sign Ordinance. Mr. Hlavacek stated he opposes any additional signage other than the current signage for the establishment. Anthony Rhines, 11845 18ti' Avenue North, agreed with the comments made by Mr. Hlavacek. He also noted there are parking concerns with the establishment. Police Chief Goldstein discussed the parking enforcement in the area. Motion was made by Councilmember Willis, and seconded by Bildsoe, to adopt a Resolution Approving 3.2 Malt Liquor License for West Medicine Lake Community Club (Res2006-059). With all members voting in favor, the motion carried. 8.1) Adoption of Council Goals and Legislative Priorities Mayor Johnson discussed the proposed goals and legislative priorities that the Council discussed at their January 17 Study Session. Motion was made by Councilmember Willis, and seconded by Councilrnember Bildsoe, to adop a Resolution Approving the 2006 Legislative Priority Issues (Res2006-060). With all members voting in favor, the motion carried. Reports and Staff Recommendations There were no Reports and Staff Recommendations).
