ITEM 7-C CARLSON REAL ESTATE COMPANY. CUP AND VARIANCE TO
ALLOW BANNERS ATTACHED TO STREET LIGHT POLES IN CARLSON
PARKWAY
Community Development Director Dillerud stated the Planning Commission, on a vote of
3-2, recommended denial of the request of Carlson Real Estate Company to install
permanent banners to the light poles in Carlson Parkway between the south City limits and
Gleason Lake Drive. Each banner would be 90 inches long and 30 inches wide. The
Planning Commission's finding was that the Conditional Use Permit would not comply
with the ordinance standards, specifically the standard regarding impact on ac joining
property values. Staff has previously recommended approval of this request for a limited
time period (2 years). Subsequent to the Planning; Commission hearing, Carlson Real
Estate Company has submitted art appraisal to courier the claim that adjoining property
values would be impacted by the banners.
A representative of Carlson Real Estate Company was present to answer questions.
Councilmember Vasiliou stated the Minnetonka Council is currently discussing the
banners. The two cities should be consistent on this issue
MOTION was made by Councilmember Vasiliou, seconded by Mayor Bergman, to defer
the request of Car Ison Real Estate Company for a Conditional Use Permit and Variance to
allow banners to be attached to street light poles in the median of Carlson Park -way

ITEM 7-D PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO LIQUOR ORDINANCE AND POLICY
Assistant Manager Boyles stated staff has been approached by on -sale liquor operators
with respect to three issues The first relates to allowing mechanized liquor service in
hotelrooms Representatives of Radisson Conference Center have inquired about the
possibility of insta ling mechanized " mini -bars" in hotel rooms. The City Attorney has
drafted an ordinance for Council consideration to accomplish this. The proposed
ordinance provides that liquor service in hotel rooms could occur only in locations defined
as hotels where food is served in the moms The liquor sales must be for on -sale purposes
and application for such service must provide a descr iption of the location and number of
guest rooms in which such service is av,ttlhble. The nechanical dispensing system must be
approved by the State Liquor Control Commissioner.
Regular Council Meeting
Jul. 20, 1992
Page 256
A representative of Broadway Station Pizza has requested that the Council consider a
second issue: allowing the sale of intoxicating malt liquors as part of on -sale wine
licensing. Currently, a wine licensee is only eligible to apply for a 3.2 malt liquor license.
Under State Statute, the city may allow the sale of intoxicating malt liquor to be sold as
part of the wine license.
Thirdly, a representative of Ivories Restaurant has asked that the Council consider
allowing them to serve liquor in the courtyard area of Waterford during non -business
hours in conjunction with private w0ding receptions. The City Attorney has reviewed
the city code and statutes with respect to this request and concluded there is nothing
which would prohibit the request. The issue is whether the Council, as a policy matter,
desires to allow this request.
Councilmember Edson stated that with respect to m,-chaaice•I liquor service in hotel
rooms, the State Liquor Control Commissioner will only approve equipment that can be
locked up during hours in which liquor sales are prohibi,ed
Councilmember Vasil;ou expressed concern about how a hotel %% could regulate sale of
alcohol to minurs when a mechanized device is available.
Counciln.ember Edson stated the State assumes that the individual renting the room is at
least 21 years old. He stated that if the mechaiuzed deices are allowed, the Council
should place a requirement on the hotel that individuals are "carded" to ensure they are of
legal drinking age if they rent one of the rooms where a device is located.
Councilmembers Edson stated he does no' support allowing the sale of intoxicating malt
liquor when a wine license and nonintoxicr ting malt liquor licenses are held because of
most of the businesses holding a wine license are "family -type" establishments.
The Council discussec the policy question of whether to allow liquor sales outside of the
primary premises for wedding receptions, etc. A comparison of the Ivories site was made
to the Carlson Center in Minnetonka where liquor is allowed for these type of events.
Councilmember N asiliou stated there is a great difference between the sites. The
Waterford (Ivories) atrium opens directly into the parking lot where service to minors
could be a problem and difficult to regulate. The Carlson Center is an enclosed area with
only one access to the parking area which can be monitored
Assistant Manager Boyles stated Mr. Jimmy Martin of Ivories Restaurant was unable to
attend the meeting. Mr Martin asked that this item be deferred so he could provide input
to the Council on his proposal. Assistant Manager Boyles suggested that the Council
defer this item and direct the Public Safety Director to meet with Mr Martin to discuss his
plan for review and recommendation to the Council
The Council asked the Public Safety Director tet respond to the various requests
