� AGENDA ITEM
� CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 14 2003
CfTY OF �
FRIDLEY
DATE: April 11, 2003 �
TO: William W. Burns, City Manager �
FROM: Scott J. Hickok, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Bona Variance VAR-03-O5, 5311 University Avenue
INTRODUCTION
Two members of the "prevailing" side of the vote, have raised a question regarding
VAR-03-O5, and their ability to bring the matter back for reconsideration. As you will
recall, this was a variance request by Brian Bona for consideration of a variance to allow
the addition of a car wash on his facility at 5311 University Avenue.
ELEMENTS FOR CONSDERATION
For the convenience of those who have asked, I have attached the pertinent portion of
Robert's Rules of Order to enable a better understanding of the process for
reconsideration of a Council action.
36. Reconsider. l This motion is peculiar in that the making of the motion has a higher
rank than its consideration, and for a certain time prevents anything being done as the
result of the vote it is proposed to reconsider. It can be made only on the day the vote to
be reconsidered was taken, or on the next succeeding day, a legal holiday or a recess not
being counted as a day. It must be made by one who voted with the prevailing side. Any
member may second it. It can be made while any other question is pending, even if
another member has the floor, or after it has been voted to adjourn, provided the chair
has not declared the assembly adjourned. It may be made after the previous question has
been ordered, in which case it and the motion to be reconsidered are undebatable....
In simple terms, this means that one of the three Council members who voted to deny this
matter would need to make a motion for reconsideration. Once such motion is made, any
of the five Council members can second the motion. A motion to reconsider an item
takes a higher position on the agenda than anything else. Timing of this reconsideration
is important. The motion, could have been made prior to adjournment of the last meeting,
C!
Reconsideration of Action
April 11, 2003.
PAGE 2
but was not. Therefore, it must be made at this ne:ct meeting. Our City Attorney
recommends the motion, if it is to be made, should be made prior to approval of the
March 24, 2003, meeting minutes. Once offered as a motion the motion is not debatable.
Knowing the City Council would desire to involve all public who have been before or
may now be interested in this reconsideration, staff would then recommend an immediate
motion to table the reconsideration until their Apri128, 2003 meeting. This will give
staff adequate time to notify neighbors and anyone else who may have attended a
meeting, called, or otherwise expressed an interest in this matter.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that if this matter is to be called for reconsideration, that a motion be
made, prior to the approval of the Minutes of the Apri128, 2003, meeting. Further, staff
recommends that the matter be immediately tabled (if the motion to reconsider receives a
second) until the Apri128, City Council meeting.

NEW BUSINESS:
15. RESOLUTION NO. 17-2003 ORDERING FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFI-
CATIONS AND ESTIMATES OF COSTS THEREOF: MARIAN HILLS
NEIGHBORHOOD STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. ST. 2003-1.
Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, stated the resolution ordered finalization of construction
• plans for the 2003 neighborhood street reconstruction project in Marian Hills. One outstanding
issue they would like to resolve was a proposal to realign the intersection of 52"d Avenue and
_ Taylor Street. He said they recommend that it be realigned into a"S" shape intersection. It
would improve the intersection. He said since it was in the proposed construction project area,
now was the time to make the changes.
Dr. Burns, City Manager, said the major issue was approval of the final plans and specifications.
Mr. Haukaas replied that it �vas. He said they would like some direction so they can finalize the
plans.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2003 PAGE 8
Councilmember Billings stated he was not aware that this was going to be part of this agenda
item. Earlier, he spoke to a resident of the neighborhood and Said he was not aware of anything
on the agenda regarding this matter. He said if this was crucial to adopt the resolution, he would
recommend tabling this matter until there was an opportunity to have a meeting with the affected
property owners in the neighborhood.
Councilmember Billings said that with respect to the resolution, Item 2 near the bottom the of
resolution said "That the followina work be incorporated in the 2003 street improvement project
as ST. 2003-1." There was nothina after that sentence
Mr. Haukaas said the sentence should read, "That the preceding wark ...." Item 1 listed the
individual items that �vould be involved.
Councilmember Billings asked if they could approve the resolution without having the 52nd
Avenue intersection matter resolved.
Mr. Haukaas said they could move forward with the resolution. The resolution directed them to
develop the final plans. The issue would need to be resolved prior to approval of the final plans
at a future meeting.
Councilmember Billings stated it was his understanding that a mailing was sent to the four
property owners, and they are split two and two on this issue. He said he knew staff had been
working with the residents. He said he did not realize this issue was going to be on the agenda.
Councilmember Barnette asked why the neighbors were opposed to the project.
Mr. Haukaas stated they sent a mailings to approximately 8 to 12 residents in the area and they
had conversations with four to six of them. With respect to the two residents opposed to the
project, one was north of 52"d Avenue on Taylor Street and she felt that this intersection in its
current configuration slowed down the traffic. She though any realignment would make it a
speedway. The other resident had some concerns with that but understood the City's position.
He would actually end up getting about an additional 30 feet of driveway that he was not real
happy about having. The residents implied that they would be at the meeting and therefore, he
was ready to bring this to Council. He said they could order final preparation of the plans and
this issue could be taken care of prior to approval of the final plans.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated she was not at the public hearing on this matter, but she did
review the tape from the meeting, and there was no discussion about this at all. She said she was
concerned that they are ordering final plans when this has not been resolved. She said she had
some questions. She did not remember seeing the letter that was sent.
Mr. Haukaas replied this issue came up after the neighborhood meeting. It was similar to what
was done in Edgewater Gardens last year. He said they took the same approach. They sent
information to the immediate intersection area to get their input and proceeded along those lines.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL NIEETING OF MARCH 24, 2003 PAGE 9
Councilmember Bolkcom said she had concerns about how that was handled. She said some
resident would be getting an additional driveway. She asked who would be responsible for
paying to put that driveway in.
Mr. Haukaas said they would be install that driveway as part of the driveway connection. He said
a whole realignment meant a ne�v base and new curbs. If they are going to do this, they feel this
is the time. This was not an issue at the neighborhood meeting. It came up since the meeting.
Mayor Lund asked if anyone from the neighborhood of the project was in the audience.
Councilmember Wolfe asked if the neighbors who live in the southwest corner of the cul-de-sac
would be getting about 30 more feet added to their front yards.
Mr. Haukaas said they would.
Councilmember Wolfe said they would be taking away property from the apartment complex.
Mr. Haukaas said the property was owned by the City.
Councilmember Wolfe said there were no stop signs for the people going east and west.
Mr. Haukaas replied that there would be. He said there would be a three-way stop. He said with
the apartment driveway, it would effectively be a four-way stop.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to adopt Resolution No. 17-2003 and to make the
following change: "2. That the preceding work be incorporated in the 2003 street improvement
project as ST. 2003-1."
Councilmember Bolkcom asked how this will be resolved and if there would be any delays.
Mr. Haukaas said they would continue to work on the overall project. There may be a delay of
two weeks to a month. If they move immediately on this matter, however, the delay should be
minimized.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, ALL VOTING AYE,
MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
16. PRELIMINARY PLAT REQUEST, PS #03-02, BY TED THEILMANN, TO
REPLA.T PROPERTY TO CREATE 8 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS, GENERALLY
LOCA'�ED AT 1540 RICE CREEK ROAD N.E. (WARD 2)
Mayor Lund st:�ted this was a preliminary plat request, PS #03-02, by Ted Theilmann to replat
property to crea.te 8 single-family lots, generally located at 1540 Rice Creek Road.
Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated the existing home was built prior to 1949
and the existing garage was constructed in 1962. Both of these buildings will be removed to
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL NIEETING OF MARCH 24, 2003 PAGE 10
accommodate the creation of eiQht single-family lots. Fridley City Code required that the lots,
R-1, Single-Family District, have a minimum lot area of 9,000 square feet. The lots will exceed
the minimum lot area requirements. Fridley City Code also required that the lots in the R-1
district be a minimum of 7� feet in width at the required front yard setback. He said that
allowing this development would provide additional home ownership opportunities for Fridley
residents or people wanting to move to this area. The Comprehensive Plan stated that future `
redevelopments should plan for densities to match the surrounding development patterns.
Redevelopment of this property into eight single-family lots would meet that criteria. �
Mr. Hickok said that 1540 was a large lot. There was also the question of when Woodside Court
would be connected. He said the plat would include the connection of Woodside Court which
would allow for a more efficient snowplowing system by reducing the amount of time that was
required to clear the street of snow. A connection of the street would also complete the
transportation system and water system in the neighborhood.
Mr. Hickok said the subdivision ordinance states that if the Planning Commission or" City
Council, upon finding any regulations or requirements of the Code that cannot be met by a
particular subdivision, may grant approval of a plat request with minor variances. Recognizing
minor Code deficiencies through the platting process is not intended to set precedence for future
variance requests. The Planning Commission reviewed this and recommended approval with
stipulations. He said staff recommended concurrence with the Planning Commission.
Mayor Lund said it appeared that this would be a challenging site because of the elevations for
storm water runoff. He asked what staff planned to do.
Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, replied that he looked at the site and the Planning
Commission meeting minutes also. He said as the drainage system was set up in that area, it
would need to drain from the west to the east, basically right through a hill without the addition
of an additional storm sewer. In order to do that without some very significant retaining walls,
most of the hill would have to go.
Mayor Lund asked what the finished hill would look like.
Mr. Haukaas said that they had not seen the final grading plans yet. One of the stipulations
required that they be reviewed and approved by staff. They will also need agreement of the
property owners.
Councilmember Wolfe asked about the landscaping at 1541.
Mr. Haukaas said the work was done in the public right-of-way. He said it was the City's
property. By approve the plans and allowing the development to proceed, the City was giving
the developer the authority to reconstruct that area.
Councilmember Wolfe if they would need to get rid of a lot of trees.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2003 PAGE 11
Mr. Haukaas said when he watched the Planning Commission meeting, the general feeling he got
was that the neighborhood was okay with that because they knew the hill had to go.
Mayor Lund recalled from the discussion at the Planning Commission, that there were some
agreements to keep the residents advised as to the grading plan so they would have input and that
the developer would work with those residents.
� Mr. Haukaas said there was an excellent effort on behalf of the developer to inventory the trees
and try to save them whenever possible
Mr. John Johnson, Director of Engineering for Metro Land Surveying and Engineering, stated
that he would answer any questions.
Mayor Lund asked if there were any questions from Council.
Councilmember Wolfe commented that if Council moved to approve this, there was still a lot
more work left.
Mr. Ron Larson, 6221 Rice Creek Drive N.E., asked about the 13`h stipulation that was adopted
at the Planning Commission meeting. He said he wanted to make sure it was included.
Mayor Lund stated he would list the stipulation during the motion.
Mr. Larson asked who would be responsible for paying for the street extension
Mr. Hickok replied it was anticipated that the road connection would be made a part of the
development as a cost to the developer.
MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to approve the Preliminary Plat PS #03-02, Ted Theilmann,
with the following thirteen stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. Any remaining debris fror� demolition of existing home and any outdoor storage on site shall
be removed prior to granting of final plat.
3. Regular maintenance of the site to be done by the developer until the homes are built.
4. Grading and drainage plan to be approved by City's engineering staff prior to the issuance of
any building permits, in order to minimize impacts to the surrounding properties.
5. Provide proof that any existing wells or individual sewage treatment systems located on the
site are property capped or removed.
6. During construction, silt fencing shall be used where applicable.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2003 PAGE 12

issuance of buildin� permits.
11. The petitioner shall work with existing contours of the land and preserve existing slopes to
the eYtent possible.
12. A Development Agreement outlining the Developer's obligation to install utilities, etc., will
be prepared by the City and shall be signed by the Petitioner, prior to final plat approval.

Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
17. VARIANCE REQUEST, VAR #03-05, BY BRIAN BONA, TO REDUCE THE
SETBACK FROM AN ADJACENT RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT FROM 50 FEET
TO 10 FEET TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A CAR WASH,
GENERALLY LOCATED AT 5311 UNIVERSITY AVENUE (WARD 1).
Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated the petitioner was seeking a setback to
allow the construction of a new 16-foot car wash 5311 University Avenue N.E. In his hardship
statement, Mr. Bona stated, "1. The existing car wash requires use of the alley to negotiate the
entrance. The proposed car wash will eliminate this need. 2. Existing car wash door faces
residential neighborhood, directing noise from blower (drier) directly at residents. Proposed car
wash will have drier mounted at exit directing noise at 53`d Avenue and adjacent commercial
property. 3. There is no other suitable location on this property. It will not fit anywhere else,
without disrupting traffic flow."
Mr. Hickok said the property was zoned C-2 General Business and was located at the corner of
53`d and University Avenue. In 1959 the service station was constructed and the existing car
wash was added in 1978. In 1994 a variance was granted to allow the reduction of setback from
an adjacent residential district from 50 feet to 19 feet to allow for the construction of a 12 foot by
15 foot storage addition. City Code required that any commercial buildings in the C-2 district be
set back 50 feet from an adjacent residential district. The petitioner proposed to convert the
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2003 PAGE 13
existing car wash into storaQe and construct a new car wash on the east side of the esisting
building. 1�1r. Bona was requesting a variance to reduce the setback from an adjacent residential
district from 50 feet to 10 feet.
Mr. Hickok said the existina car wash used an old brush-type system. The new car wash would
_ be a modern, up-to-date touchless system. Customers would enter along the north side of the
building and eYit on the south side. The caz wash doors will be facing away from the residential
district. The drier will also be located on the south side of the building facing 53`d Avenue.
Mr. Hickok said that staff received a follow-up letter on March 19 from a neighbor who had
written a letter before the Appeals Commission that addressed his concerns about the location of
the proposed car wash and drainage issues. The follow-up letter had a petition wzth 19
signatures from neighboring property owners who were against the variance.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to receive the letters dated March 4 and March 19, 2003,
and the petition from the residents in the area. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Hickok said the Appeals Commission heard testimony. He said staff had no
recommendation since this variance request was within previously granted dimensions. On a
three to one vote, the Appeals Commission recommended approval of the variance request with
nine stipulations. If the variance is granted, staff recommended approval of the nine
stipulations.
Mr. Bona, 5311 University Avenue N.E., stated that the present car wash was outdated and
dangerous.
Councilmember Billings stated in 1988 they issued a variance to reduce the setback from 50 feet
to 10 for the construction of a storage shed.
Mr. Hickok stated from what he understood, they had gone down from 50 feet to 19 feet. He
said he believed the storage shed was on a different site.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated it was on 5351 Central Avenue. She thought a storage shed
was different than a car wash. She said she also had a couple of concerns. One was about the
traffic and lights. She also wondered about water in the street.
Councilmember Wolfe asked if the car wash would be programmed.
Mr. Bona replied it would be semi-automatic. There would not be an attendant at the car wash to
hand dry cars.
Councilmember Wolfe asked why Mr. Bona was switching.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL NIEETING OF MARCH 24, 2003 PAGE 14
Mr. Bona replied the modern equipment would not fit in a 32-foot bay which is what they have
riaht now. They could not eYtend the eYisting bay due to the problem they have with the
opening in the fence.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there was any other place on the property to locate the car
wash.
Mr. Bona replied there was not. Not without disrupting traffic. They want to be able to stack the
cars on their property and avoid congestion in the streets.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if they would be open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and if they would
be open on Sundays.
Mr. Bona replied they would be open on Sundays.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked so the 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. was for seven days per week under the
stipulations.
Mr. Hickok said they were.
Mayor Lund asked why the car wash could not be extended toward University Avenue.
Mr. Bona replied said they would still have a problem with exiting with a larger vehicle.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that there were a lot of people in the area who did not want the car
wash.
Mr. Bona said he was really surprised because he did his own informal polling, and that was not
the kind of feedback he was getting.
Mr. Keith Rodgers, 5370 Fourth Street N.E., he lived well away from the car wash. He said the
last time he was here for the extension on this property, Mr. Bona said he would replace the big
trees that had to be torn down. He replaced them with much smaller trees. There are also weeds
growing on the property. They did promise bigger trees when they cut the big pines down. No
one has checked out the whole property. He said the variances were there for a reason.
Mr. Thomas Zandlo, 5334 Fourth Street N.E., said he and his wife wrote the letters and got the
petition going. He said he wanted to read the definition of "variance" as it applied to them. "An
official permit to do something normally forbidden by regulations, especially by building in a
way or for a purpose normally forbidden by a zoning law or building code." He said he would
like to present the original petition to the City Council. According to their calculations, the data
on these maps showed that the average annual daily traffic at 53`d and University Avenue was
5100 cars per day, at 57th and University it was 4,200 cars per day, and at 49`h and University it
was 4,700 cars per day. He presented the information to the City Council.

Minnesota Department of Transportation from tiir. Thomas Zandlo. Seconded by
Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, �IAYOR LU'ND DECLARED THE
. MOTIONS CARRIED UNAlvIMOUSLY.
Mr. Zandlo asked how increased car exhaust would help pollution levels in the immediate area.
' He said a car wash would increase traffic and congestion in the area.
Councilmember Billings said that Mr. Zandlo mentioned 5300 and 5310, but did not mention
5320.
Mr. Zandlo said that it was a rental unit. He said he was more interested in people who owned
their own homes.
Mayor Lund said that Mr. Zandlo felt that the car wash would be a major detriment.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if most people would go to this car wash after they have had
work done on their automobiles. She asked if the attraction was that people would use the car
wash more because it was now a touchless car wash.
Mr. Zandlo said that anything new and improved would attract more people.
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Haukaas if from an engineering standpoint it was better to
have cars entering 53`d Avenue 100 feet or so away from the traffic light or right at the
intersection where the traffic light was.
Mr. Haukaas said that generally they try to get any entrances as far away from signalized
intersections as possible to allow for as much stacking as possible.
Councilmember Billings stated that further north on University Avenue there is the
SuperAmerica Station, the Rapid Oil site, and the Sinclair station. The actual services drives are
behind the first set of properties just to accomplish that feat.
. Mr. Haukaas replied that he was conect.
Councilmember Billings said that this would be more in line with the type of traffic patterns that
� they try to establish for streets adjacent to University Avenue.
Mr. Haukaas agreed.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked how close the driveway would be to the traffic signal in this
case.
Mr. Haukaas said the driveway was about 120 or 130 feet away from the intersection.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2003 PAGE 16
Mayor Lund asked how many entrances there were to get into his site from �3`d Avenue.
Mr. Bona said there �vere two.
Nlayor Lund asked if there was one closer to the west side and one closer to the east side of his .
properties.
Mr. Bona aareed and said that most commonly cars will exit out of the curb cut directly in front
of the exit onto the service road.
Councilmember Billings asked when traffic was heavy, do some of the cars try to zigzag through
the existing site to try and get to the driveway that is further away from University Avenue.
Mr. Bona replied that he could not say it had been a big issue, but he supposed it did happen
from time to time.
Mayor Lund asked if Mr. Bona had ever considered expansion of the existing car wash.
Mr. Bona replied he had, but there would still be a tight fit and it would block the traffic flow
across both of the buildings.
Mayor Lund asked if it was cheaper to expand the existing building to expand the new
technology for the car wash, or was it mare expensive to build the building Mr. Bona was
proposing.
Mr. Bona replied his proposal was much more expensive.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there was any other service station car wash that was in close
proximity to a residential area.
Mr. Hickok replied Riverside Car Wash.
Mr. Bona stated they had talked much about noise. He gave a spec sheet to City staff regarding
the noise levels from the new equipment. The noise level of the new equipment would be 65
decibels. The equipment he had now created 90 decibels. -
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Hickok about Stipulation No. 8 that restricted the hours of
operation.
Mr. Hickok replied they use the same standards for other power equipment in residential
districts. They felt this was an appropriate match.
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Bona if he had any objection to Stipulation No. 8.
Mr. Bona said it sounded reasonable.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2003 _ PAGE 17
Councilmember Billings asked if there were doors on both the front and back of the proposed car
wash.
Mr. Bona replied, yes.
Councilmember Billings asked if it was similar to other touchless washes in that once you got
inside the door would close.
Mr. Bona replied that it was.
Councilmember Billings stated he noticed in reading the minutes of the Appeals Commission
that there was some discussion about lights shining on adjacent properties. He asked �vhat kind
of fencing would be used immediately east of the string of cars.
Mr. Bona replied they discussed that at the Planning Commission meeting, and they made a
design change. He said they would still maintain the continuity of the remainder of the fence,
but it would block the headlights.
Councilmember Billings asked if Mr. Bona's proposal was to put up some type of shielding to
prevent the lights from shining directly on the property located at 5310.
Mr. Bona agreed.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated her biggest concern was with the variance and the reduction in
what they normally have for setback.
Councilmember Billings asked if this was the former Amoco Standard station.
Mr. Hickok said it was.
Councilmember Billings asked if he had any idea when the building was actually built.
Mr. Bona replied 1959.
Councilmember Billings asked if Mr. Hickok had any idea what the zoning codes required at that
time.
Mr. Hickok replied that actually went back to a time when their zoning was really more of a
strict commercial zoning along the corridors.
Councilmember Billings asked how far the building was from the east property line.
Mr. Bona replied 19 feet.
Councilmember Billings asked if the 12-foot alley counted in the 50-foot setback
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2003 PAGE 18
Mr. Hickok replied it did not.
Councilmember Billings stated, so the requirement then is 50 feet from the edge of the property
and right now he said it was at 19 feet. I�e asked if there was cunently a structure on the east side
of the building.
Mr. Bona rep(ied it is a storage pod.
Councilmember Billings asked if the car wash would be where the storage pod was currently
Mr. Bona replied, no, not exactly.
Councilmember Billings stated, he was speaking about the relationship between the east property
line. He said the car wash would be the full length of the building but the pod was sitting near
the northern end of the building and the east edge of the pod was then approximately 11 feet
from the property line and the car wash was going to be about 10 feet from the property line.
Mr. Bona said it would not. He said that they were not seeing the addition on any of the
drawings. He said there was a block addition that was put on the building and this pod is pretty
much in line with that. The right edge of the storage pod was approximately 19 feet from the lot
line. So, they would be consuming another 9 feet.
Councilmember Billings stated he thought it was a decision that had to do with the vitality of the
City, and the City cannot exist with nothing but residential property or strictly commercial
property. He said he thought this particular business operator had shown an ability to get along
with the City of Fridley and with a majority of the adjacent neighbors up until the variance
request. He said he had not heard any objections from the neighbors in area about Mr. Bona. As
a matter of fact, the majority of those he had spoken to told him what an asset he had been to that
particular neighborhood. He said that the people who are objecting, who have signed the petition,
are not adjacent to this particular piece of property but adjacent to the property Mr. Bona owns
north of this particular site and others lived on the east side of Fourth Street with houses between
them and this particular property. He said he thought it would be more of an enhancement to the
traffic situation than it would be a detriment. He thought it was an improvement to the
neighborhood in general.
Councilmember Wolfe said it was usually up to the person asking for a variance to prove a
hardship. He asked if a hardship had been proven.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to approve the Variance Request, VAR #0305, with nine
stipulations as follows:
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. The proposed car wash shall be architecturally compatible with the existing building and
finished with complementary building materials, staff to review and approve final elevations.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 24, 2003 PAGE 19
3. No outdoor storage shall be permitted on site, all eYisting outdoor storage, includinQ the
storage pod shall be removed upon completion of the proposed car wash. y
4. Site shall not be used to display cars for sale or storage of trucks for rent.
�. Proposed car wash shall comply with the City noise ordinance requirements.
6. A speed bump or something similar to be installed on the heated exit pad of car wash to aid
in removing water from vehicle frames, etc., prior to vehicles entering 53`d Avenue. Final
design and location to be reviewed and approved by City staff.
7. All lighting shall be shielded, downcast and may not exceed 3-foot candles of light intensity
at the property line.
8. Car wash hours of operation to be restricted to 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
9. Existing gap in fence to be filled in, in order to reduce the shine of headlights on neighboring
residential properties.

Councilmember Billings noted their bid was $200 higher than the recommended award to
Creative Curb. He asked about Creative Curb.
Mr. Haukaas stated Creative Curb had done work in the metro area and privately around the
northwest metro. He had not received any negative comments about the company.
Councilmember Billings asked if there was a provision in the contract that they pay prevailing
wages.

Amended Municipal Swimming Beach Ordinance
Attached is a staff-recommended ordinance amending Fridley City Code Chapter 507,
Municipal Bathing Beaches. The current Chapter 507 only addresses a municipal bathing
beach that shall be attended by lifeguards. With our recent decision to provide an
unguarded swimming beach at Moore Lake, the ordinance should be changed to reflect
this alternative. The amended ordinance would allow the City the option of providing an
unguarded swimming beach as we are planning for this year or a guarded beach, with
lifeguards, as has been provided in the past.
Since beaches are now more commonly referred to as swimming beaches or swimming
areas, the ordinance also contains several wording changes including the striking of the
word "bathing" and a replacement with the word "swimming".
Staff recommends the first reading of this ordinance on Monday, April 14, 2003.

APPROVE THE MARCH 5 2003 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES:
MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by M�. Dunham, to approve the March 5, 2003, Planning
Commission meeting minutes.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. PUBLIC HEARING:
Consideration of a Special Use Permit, SP #03-04, by Kurt Becker, for a second
accessory structure (storage shed/shop), generally located at 124 Glen Creek Road.
MOTION by Ms. Johns, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 7:33 P.M.
Ms. Stromberg stated the petitioner is requesting a special use permit to allow the construction
of a 576 square foot second accessory structure in the rear yard or southern yard of his double
frontage property at 124 Glen Creek Road. The building will be used as a workshop.
Ms. Stromberg stated the property is zoned R-1, Single Family, as are all surrounding
properties. The home faces and is squared up to Glen Creek Road. Chesney Way borders the
property on the southern side. Properties with frontages on both sides of their lots need to meet
front yard setback requirements for accessory structures located in the rear yard. The petitioner
will be applying for a variance to locate the accessory structure within 10 feet of its southern
property line instead of the required 59 feet which is determined by setback averaging
requirements.
Ms. Stromberg stated Section 205 of the City Code requires a special use permit to allow
accessory structures, other than the first accessory structure, over 240 square feet. The total
square footage of accessory structures shall not exceed 1,400 square feet. The total square
footage of the existing garage and the proposed accessory structure is 1,060 square feet. The
proposed garage location will,meet lot coverage requirements. The petitioner is requesting that
the hard surface driveway requirements be waived for the proposed accessory structure. Since
:
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MARCH 19, 2003 PAGE 2
the primary use of the structure wili be used as a workshop, City staff would be in support of the
petitioner's request. However, if at any time evidence of use of the yard as a driveway is
observed, a hard surface driveway will be required.
Ms. Stromberg stated City staff received comments from one neighboring property owner who
expressed concerns about the location and the size of the proposed structure.
Ms. Stromberg stated City staff �ecommends approval of this special use permit with the
following stipulations:
1. Staff shall conduct regular inspections of the site. If, at any time, a trail
simulating a driveway is present, a hard surface driveway as approved by the
City will need to be installed within 90 days.
2. If an overhead garage door is used, it should be installed on the east accessory
structure face to allow a longer driveway approach, if the accessory structure is
used for vehicle storage in the future.
3. All local and state noise regulations shall be observed and met.
4. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary building permits prior to construction.
5. The structure shall not be used for home occupation or living area.
6. Total square footage of all accessory structures must not exceed 1,400 square
feet.
7. The accessory structure shall be architecturally compatible with existing home
and finished with complementary siding and color scheme.
8. Special use permit approval is dependent upon approval of the petitioner's
variance request.
Mr. Kondrick asked about stipulation #3 stating all local and state noise regulations shall be
observed and met. He stated the tools required for woodworking (table saws, shapers, routers,
etc.) can be quite noisy. He has no problem with this, but if he was a neighbor and if it was real
noisy, he would be upset. So, how can they help the petitioner understand this stipulation and
the noise regulations?
Ms. Stromberg stated that when the petitioner comes in to get his building permit, staff will
review the noise ordinance with him. The decibel level goes down after 9:00 p.m. so that would
mean he probably wouldn't be able to do much woodworking after 9:00 p.m.
Mr. Kondrick asked about the neighbor who had complained about the location and size of the
proposed structure.
Ms. Stromberg replied the neighbor's home is on Chesney Way and will face the proposed
structure, so he just had some concerns about the size of the structure and where it was going
to be located.
Mr. Kondrick asked if the neighbor was satisfied with staff's answers.
Ms. Stromberg stated she could not say for sure if he was satisfied. She stated she had invited
him to come to the Planning Commission meeting.
Ms. Johns asked if there were only three properties where the garages or houses are accessed
from Chesney Way.
Ms. Stromberg replied that is correct.
�
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MARCH 19, 2003 PAGE 3
Mr. Kondrick asked if it would be fair to assume that the City would require that there be no
entrance to this new structure from Chesney Way, that it be from Glen Creek Road?
Ms. Johns referred to stipulation #2, that the City is requiring the garage door on the east side.
However, the drawings that have been presented show the garage door on the south side with a
small garage door.
Ms. Stromberg stated that is correct. However, after reviewing the petitioner's drawing, staff
determined that they would prefer to see the overhead garage door located on the east side
versus the south side.
Ms. Johns asked why staff recommended that.
Ms. Stromberg stated staff determined that the 10 feet from the petitioner's property line to the
accessory structure wasn't enough space for a vehicle to park outside. If the structure was ever
accessed from the east side and a driveway put in, that would make a longer driveway
approach which would allow vehicle parking outside.
Mr. Kurt Becker, 124 Glen Creek Road, stated that when he officially applied for the variance,
he requested a smaller variance, he asked for it down to 4 feet, instead of the 10 it shows on
here. The reason for that is a large oak tree. The large oak tree closest to the house would
have to come down if he were to go with the 10-foot variance so he dropped that back to 4.
Mr. Becker stated that in talking with all the neighbors and particularly the neighbors directly
behind him, one of the concerns was the actual parking of vehicles. That is why he wanted to
put that garage door on the south side. It he got the variance, 6-7 feet would be the length of
any driveway that could be put in there in the future, thereby negating the ability for anybody to
park a car there because it would stick out into the street.
Mr. Kondrick asked if Mr. Becker agreed with all the stipulations.
Mr. Becker replied, yes, except for stipulation #2 about having the garage door on the east side.
He prefers to have it on the south face, so that in the future no one can park a car out there
because there is no room to do it. He stated three garages are accessed off Chesney Way.
The neighbor who faces East River Road has a driveway that is closer to the street than his
variance request, and he is unable to park vehicles out there because of the shortness of the
drive. Having the short driveway solves the problem or the concern for the neighbor behind
him. Regarding any noise concern as brought up by Mr. Kondrick, he plans to insulate the
whole structure as well as put on insulated siding which provides an extra sound barrier as well.
Mr. Becker stated he is asking the Commission to consider having the garage door on the south
side.
Mr. Kuechle asked Mr. Becker what he felt the hardship was in having the garage door on the
east side.
Mr. Becker stated City staff had pointed out that at some point in the future, someone could put
a driveway in if the structure was accessed from the east side. The driveway could probably be
16-18 feet long, and then, obviously, cars could park there. The idea is to prevent that parking
from occurring.
10
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MARCH 19, 2003 PAGE 4
Mr. Kondrick stated that if the petitioner sold his house, wouldn't it be an advantage to a future
owner to have a driveway from Chesney Way and a four car garage situation with more room to
store cars?
Mr. Becker stated that if it was just for himself, it is not a concern as he doesn't ever plan on
parking vehicles back there. He might put his boat into the shop to work on it or whatever, but
he wouldn't be putting a vehicle back there. One of the neighbors' specific concerns was that
they didn't want traffic back there and that it is quiet back there. So, having the garage door on
the south side solves the problem. A future owner could always move the garage door to the
east side.
Ms. Johns stated that if the petitioner put a structure onto that property and then if the door has
to go on the east face, he is eating up quite a bit of the back yard with the driveway as well.
There is very little backyard for a selling point on the house. To a man having a four-car garage
is a good idea, but having a back yard would be more important to her.
Mr. Kuechle stated a car would also back up right into the road, and he has a problem with that.
Mr. Kondrick stated he agreed.
Mr. Dunham commented the four-car garage will sell better.
MOTION by Mr. Dunham, seconded by Ms. Johns, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:52 P.M.
Mr. Kuechle stated he is comfortable with the special use permit. The size of the garage is well
within reason. The petitioner's lot is large enough where it is not going to appear overcrowded,
and the request is well under the 1,400 square feet. The petitioner still needs to get a variance
from the Appeals Commission. He would be in favor of making a motion to recommend
approval to the City Council with the stipulations as listed. He believed he would be in favor of
the garage door opening on the east side. Visually, it would look better, and it would have less
impact on the houses across the street by having a nice finished wall to look at rather than a
garage door.
Mr. Dunham stated he is complete agreement with the garage door facing east. He doesn't like
the idea of the south side at all.
Ms. Johns stated she preferred the larger back yard versus the four-car garage, but she could
handle it either way.
MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Dunham, to recommend to City Council approval of
SP #03-04, by Kurt Becker, for a second accessory structure (storage shed/shop), generally
located at 124 Glen Creek Road, with the following stipulations:
1. Staff shall conduct regular inspections of the site. If, at any time, a trail
simulating a driveway is present, a hard surface driveway as approved by the
City will need to be installed within 90 days.
2. If an overhead garage door is used, it should be installed on the east accessory
structure face to allow a longer driveway approach, if the accessory structure is
used for vehicle storage in the future.

- Peter Sargent
ANALYSIS AND CODE REQUIREMENTS
The subject property is zoned R-1, Single Family and is located on Gardena
Avenue, east of Central Avenue. The property is currently used as a private
school. The school was constructed in 1965, with an addition constructed in
1977. Since then there have been additional modifications to the interior and
exterior of the school.
Aerial of Property — Area of Proposed Parking Expansion
City Code requires that all parking stalls be a minimum of 10 feet in width. The
petitioner is seeking to reduce the parking stall width from 10 feet to 9 feet in
order to expand the parking lot at Totino Grace High School. The petitioner's
proposal is to construct a new 70-car parking lot on the southeast corner of the
property. This new parking lot will reduce the amount of vehicles parked on the
street and will likely help address concerns of neighboring property owners.
:
Aerial of Property — Closer view ot Proposea rarKing Hrea
Similar variances have been granted in the past to reduce the width of parking
stalls from 10 feet to 9 feet for long term or employee parking. This variance will
essentially apply to the same type of parking, as it will provide parking for the
students and teachers of Totino Grace. The students and teachers will be the
only users of the parking lot, so there won't be a constant turnover of parking
spaces by the unfamiliar users throughout the day.
City staff has heard from one neighboring property owner, who addressed
concerns about the disruption that occurred during Totino Grace's last
construction project, in 1999 when Totino Grace reconstructed their running track
and associated amenities.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City Staff has no recommendation as this variance is within previously granted
dimensions.
Similar variances granted:
• VAR #00-21 5943 University Avenue
Parking lot width reduced from 10 feet to 9 feet.
• VAR #88-20 1400 73�d Avenue
Parking lot width reduced from 10 feet to 9 feet.
STIPULATIONS
Staff recommends that if the variance is granted, the following stipulations be
attached.
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2, The petitioner shall be responsible for maintaining and cleaning any
debris or dirt located in the street during the construction process.
3. The petitioner shall follow City code regulations related to the hours of
operation for construction equipment. Those hours are 7:00 a.m. to

Per Section 205.03.56 of the Fridley Zoning Code, to reduce the width of a parking stall
from 10 feet to 9 feet to allow the expansion of a parking lot on Lot 10, Block 1, Totino
Grace Addition, generally located at 1350 Gardena Avenue NE (Totino Grace High
School)
MOTION by Mr. Zinter, seconded by Ms. Jackson, to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 7:31 P.M.
Ms. Stromberg stated the petitioner, Pete Sargent of Belair Excavating, who is representing
Totino Grace High School, is requesting a variance to reduce the width of a parking stall from 10
feet to 9 feet to allow the expansion of a parking lot at the high school located at 1350 Gardena
Avenue.
Ms. Stromberg stated the petitioner's summary of hardship reads: "Our variance request is for
Totino to construct parking stalls at 9 feet wide, rather than 10 feet. In that way, the number of
on-site parking stalls can be increased in the same amount of space. Also, Totino's campus is

desire to satisfy neighbors' complaints to remove cars from the streets and fulfill a suggestion by
the City of Fridley that Totino seek out a solution that might provide more on-site parking. Upon
your approval allowing Totino to construct smaller stalls, it becomes a win-win situation for all."
Ms. Stromberg stated the property is zoned R-1 Single Family, and is located on Gardena
Avenue, east of Central Avenue. The property is a private school which was constructed in
1965. Since 1965, additional modifications have been made to the interior and exterior of the
school.
Ms. Stromberg stated the Ciry Code requires that all parking stalls be a minimum of 10 feet in
width. The petitioner is proposing to reduce the parking stall width from 10 feet to 9 feet in order
to expand the parking lot at Totino Grace High School.
"�1•J
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, MARCH 26, 2003 PAGE 2
Ms. Stromberg stated the petitioner's proposal is to construct a new 70-car parking lot on the
southeast corner of the property. This new parking lot will reduce the number of vehicles parked
in the street and will likely help address the concerns of neighboring property owners. All
setback requirements for the new parking lot will be met, and the re-establishment of
landscaping along Arthur Street will be required.
Ms. Stromberg stated similar variances have been granted in the past reducing the width of
parking stalls from 10 feet to 9 feet for long-term or employee parking. This variance will
essentially apply to the same type of parking as it will provide parking for students and teachers
of Totino Grace. The students and teachers will be the only users of the parking lot so there
won't be a constant turnover of parking spaces by unfamiliar users.
Ms. Stromberg stated City staff has heard from one neighboring property owner who addressed
concerns about the disruption that occurred during Totino Grace's last construction project in
1999 when Totino Grace reconstructed its running track and associated amenities.
Ms. Stromberg stated City staff has no recommendation as this variance is within previously
granted dimensions. Similar variances were granted to reduce the parking stall width from 10
feet to 9 feet; in 2000 at 5943 University Avenue (Van-O-Lite) and in 1988 at 1400 73'd Avenue
` (Onan). If the variance is granted, staff recommends the following stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. The petitioner shall be responsible for maintaining and cleaning any debris or dirt
located in the street during the construction process.
3. The petitioner shall follow City Code regulations related to the hours of operation
for construction equipment. Those hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Mr. Kuechle asked if there was any requirement for double striping, or was it the City staffs
feeling that double striping really doesn't help when you go to 9 feet?
Ms. Stromberg asked what Mr. Kuechle meant by double striping.
Mr. Kuechle explained that rather than putting one stripe on each side, they put two stripes on
each side to help center the cars on the space so they don't shift as easily from one side to the
other. By doing this, you end up with about an 8-foot space that tends to keep the cars
centered a little bit better.
Mr. Pete Sargent, the construction manager for Totino Grace High School, stated his company
is Belair Excavating that has contracted to work with Totino Grace. Barry Wagner from Clark
Engineering is also at the meeting. They are the ones that put together the layout for Totino
Grace. Originally, they had requested an 8'/z foot wide stall, but it was confusing because it
turned out the 8%2 foot stall was granted for a parking ramp and wouldn't apply to their situation.
Mr. Sargent stated that right now 70-90 cars are being parked on the street. In the 60's when
Totino Grace first started, they had 1,150 students. They still have 1,150 students today. The
problem now is that every student wants to drive, and some of them even have Humvees. So,
the whole process was predicated by the amount of complaints that the Fridley Police
Department received and City staff's request that Totino Grace discuss some type of common
method of solving that problem. It was very important for Totino Grace to work with the City and
the students and do something that was mutually beneficial to everybody. One of the problems
is that the site is already full, and it is hard to find places for more parking. They were fortunate
to have Clark Engineering help them figure out one last spot for additional parking. One of the
things that makes it a little more complicated is adding handicapped in that area. It is not
required, but they do have a Christian Brother who is handicapped who helps run the school, so
31
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, MARCH 26, 2003 PAGE 3
they want to get one stall for him plus one more stall. Eventually there will be more handicapped
parking put up on the top part. But, that makes it even worse because they have to go to 14-
foot stalls in those locations, hence, this request for shrinking the stall size as much as possible.
Mr. Sargent stated that the parking lot on the west side, which consists of more than 80 stalls, is
all 9 foot stalls and has been from inception. Those stalls seem to be working very well. They
do have kids bumping doors and things like that, but there are very few accidents in that parking
lot. He guessed that can be attributed to the way that the staff and the teachers watch the
parking lots. He thanked the Appeals Commission for their time. He stated he has been doing
this on a volunteer basis also, and he served on the Planning Commission for quite a number of
years so he knows that they're working after hours on this. He stated Mr. Wagner would be
happy to answer any questions from an engineering standpoint, either civil or structural.
Mr. Kuechle asked if he could tell them how many parking stalls there will be after this proposed
change versus before.
Mr. Wagner stated he believed they are adding a total of 79 stalls.
Mr. Sargent stated on a typical day out on the street, you will find 70 to 90 cars. He counted as
many as 100 at one time, but that was unusual. So, they are not addressing the entire problem,
but they are doing the best they can to address most of it. He believed that with a little policing
on Totino Grace's part and getting these cars off the street, there will be very few complaints.
There will always be some parking on the street, but he believed it was probably easier and less
dangerous to park on Arthur Street than Gardena Avenue, especialty with the Islamic Center
across the street. At 3:00 p.m., there is a lot of congestion and getting the cars off Gardena
Avenue should help the Police Department tremendously. They have also been given
permission to park in the City/County park and also down below they can do some parking. So
he believes they can do a p�etty good job of getting the cars off the street.
Mr. Wagner stated he believed they are also going to try blocking the southerly driveway to cut
down on the cross traffic between the two sides.
Mr. Kuechle asked, from an engineering point of view, is there any advantage in double striping
versus single striping?
Mr. Wagner stated, not really, it is not very common. Usually double striping is more commonly
done with a wider stall, like a 10-foot stall, but you don't see that very often either.
Ms. Jackson asked if they still have places for snow removal and snow s#orage.
Mr. Sargent stated, yes, they do have some places for snow storage, but they will be hauling
snow off site as well.
MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Jackson, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:47 P.M.
Mr. Jones stated this sounded like a good plan. The City has approved 9-foot stalls before, and
this is not a visitor parking area. It is a student and employee parking area. He believed Totino
Grace has done the best it can to come up with a solution for the parking problems, so he would
vote in favor of this variance.
32
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, MARCH 26, 2003 PAGE 4
Mr. Zinter stated he believed just the safety of getting the cars and the kids off the street is really
critical here, so he would be in favor of this variance.
Mr. Kuechle stated he, too, was in agreement with approving the variance, especially since it is
the same group of people who will be using this parking lot on a daily basis. It's not like a
shopping center where people are coming and going and carrying a lot of bulky packages in and
out of the car where the doors have to open very wide.
Ms. Jackson and Dr. Vos also agreed.
MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Jackson, to recommend approval of Variance, VAR #03-
07, to reduce the width of the parking lot stalls from 10 feet to 9 feet to allow the expansion of a
parking lot on Lot 10, Block 1, Totino Grace Addition, generally located at 1350 Gardena
Avenue NE (Totino Grace High School), with the following stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. The petitioner shall be responsible for maintaining and cleaning any debris or dirt
located in the street during the construction process.
3. The petitioner shall follow City Code regulations related to the hours of operation
for construction equipment. Those hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Kuechle stated this request will go to the City Council for final action on April 14, 2003.

Change Order No. 2: Fridley Municipal Garage Expansion
P�V03-042
The attached Change Order No. 2 covers six work order changes and one credit associated with field changes
during construction of the Fridley Municipal Garage E�ansion project. The changes are for the following
items:
► Cou� cable installation to IT room, conference room, reception area, and
lunch room for data and cable N transmission ............................................................................................ � 710.00
► Relocation of main electrical service into the building including
conduit, foundation excavation and cutting and cable .............................................................................. $2,041.00
► Modify roof beam connection at existing interior wall .............................................................................. $ 330.00
► Add fire treated wood blocking throughout building for mounting
electrica� and data connection boxes .............................................................................................................. $1,896.00
► Modify roof beam connection at existing exterior wall ............................................................................. $ 449.00
► Relocate main telephone switch block to IT room .................................................................... ...... $ 772.00
► Credit for elimination of roof screening ....................................................................................................... ($5,700.00)
All of these items are things that could not be identified prior to partial demolition and needed to be negotiated
during the project. The Community Development Director Scott Hickok and I determined that the front of the
building and �isting yard screening provide sufficient mechanical unit screening and that additional roof top
screening would actually be more obtrusive.
The net cost of Change Order No. 2 is $2,656.00 for a revised contract amount of $734,971.00.
Recommend the City Council approve Change Order No. 2 for construcrion of the Fridley Municipal Garage
E�ansion to CM Construction Company of Burnsville, MN, in the amount of $2,656.00.

Re: Public Hearing regazding renewal of the Liquor License for Sean Co.,dlb/a Sean's Grill & Pub,
8298 University Ave. NE Fridley, NIN 55432
Staff has received an application packet for the renewal of the liquor license from the location doing
business as Sean's Grill & Pub. As of the writing of this memo, staff is still awaiting the information
requested that substantiates the food to liquor ratio required by the city ordinance. Staff mailed out the
renewal packets at the end of January requesting that the completed packets be mailed back by the end
of February so that staff would have time to review the renewal information. This is the only licensee
that we have had to call repeatedly and send certified letters requesting them to return the renewal
packet. We have just recently received the renewal information packet and upon the review found that
they have not provided the appropriate information that would substantiate their sales numbers.
We have also provided as an attachment to this memo, memos from the Police Department and the Fire
Department that outlines concerns that have been identified during the short period of time this owner
has been in business. It appears that there has been recurring assaults at this location that have gone
unreported by the owner. Also a concern that was observed during a visit to the site was an un-vented,
propane-fueled heater and 201b. cylinder that was used in the lower area for heating. Upon inspection
by the Fire Marshall, other deficiencies were found to exist and correction orders have been given.

Due to the inability to substantiate the sales percentage required by the City Ordinance and the
numerous other public safety concems staff is recommending that the council approve the following
resolution that provides for the non-renewal of the liquor license for Sean's Grill & Pub located at 8289

RE: MN Sean Co
dba Sean's Grille & Pub
To Whom It May Concern:
Enclosed is a financial statement for MN Sean Co. Food sales for the year ended from inception
May 3, 2002 to December 31, 2002 were $110,522.62. Liquor sales for the year ended from
inception May 3, 2002 to December 31, 2002 were $151,525.36. Food sales were 42.18% when
compared with food & liquor total sales.
During my analysis of the sales and sales tax reports for MN Sean Co, I did not audit these sales
or sales tax reports. However, I did come across a classification error of $3,000. Beer sales
were overstated on the financial statement by $3,000 due to Pulltab rentals.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at 651) 501-2050.�

EXHIBIT 1
October 24th, 2002
I Sean Tierney am the owner of Sean's Grille & Pub. This letter is a statement for
Jen on an assault that took place on Friday August 16�'. "I do not know Jen's last name."
I Sean Tierney met Jen approximately one month before the assault at my
business. Over the course of the month Jen and I(Sean Tierney) were around each other
numerous times, w�e made phone calls to one another and also had personal relations.
Jen is an employee of 93X radio station. She would work at the bar from lOpm to
12am on Friday rughts along with one othec X-Girl always having two girls working
together.
On August 16�' Jen worked from l Opm to 12am, afterwards she stayed ai the bar
drinking for the last hour before bar close waiting to be paid.
At approximately 12:45am Jen had mention that she had not been paid yet, I Sean
Tierney went behind the bar into the first register (tell # 1) and grabbed he money for the
93X empioyees. Whenever you go behind the bar to get money from the register you
always have to put a note for what the money is meant for or a receipt if you had
purchased anything for the bar.
I then made my way to the DJ (disk jockey) booth and paid the DJ, the next
people were the X-Girls first Jen and then the other girl. Not more than 30 seconds later
my manager approached me and asked why I had been behind the bar. I toid him I
wanted to pay the 93X staff. Sean McAlister (manager) then made me aware that he
already paid the 93X-Girls.
I Sean Tierney went back to the staff of 93X and spoke with girl #2 (name
unknown) she openly admitted that she had already been paid and immediately gave the
money back. I then went to Jen and she said that she was never paid prior to myself
paying her. We began discussing this matter when the lights and music stopped; I
realized it was closing time 12:SSam so I had to help close up the bar and Jen and I had to
finish our conversation later.
I asked all 93X employees to go downstairs and wait for McAlister and I to settle
this money situation. After a11 the patrons left the building all the bouncers are insttucted
to show them to their cars and watch the parking lot.
I then told McAlister what Jen has said about being paid only once and that he
needed to come downstairs to settle what had happen as soon as possible.
I Sean Tierney made my way dovmstairs to deal with the situation. I went to Jen
and told her my manager was on his way down to speak with her, I said this to see if I
.•
�
could get a reaction out of her, her reaction was a grin and smirk, due to being under the
influence.
Durin� this time a girl that I had personal relations with, (not a girtfriend) had
walked in and came downstairs (after someone had told her where I might be) to tallc to
me. As she walked over to me Jen noticed this girl and decided to get up walk one step
bend over and tried to kiss me I turned my head over to Jen and said what are you doing?
Jen then stoo� up and began making her way toward the other girl on my right (Jen had
been to the left of ine). I then noticed where this was going; I Sean Tierney began to
stand up in between them when I noticed they were intending to hurt each other. I was
�etting up from my chair not yet fully extended my ieft arm went out simultaneously with
my right to hold these two girts from one another. They both made some physical
motions (fighting) over the top of ine. When I became fully extended the two girls took a
step back, the girt on my right turned and left I followed her out of the building and made
sure all the doors were locked. My bartenders upstairs reminded me that the bouncers
were still outside in the pazking lot. This is why I am absolutely positive about the time
frame all this had happen, it was before 1:1 Oam. Because by 1:1 Sam all of the staff is to
be in the building and the doors are locked. _ _
I then went back downstairs to see Jen holding a rag to her head Jen �ad a small
cut on her head Jen then said she was fine and did not need to see a doctor. Jen thought
that it might have been a bott(e that hit her. I Sean Tierney saw no broken glass or bottles
in the downstairs bar.
I Sean Tierney insisted that Jen had her head looked at due to all the alcohol Jen
had consumed the night of August 16`�.
After Jen kept insisting she did not need to see a doctor I Sean Tierney went to
grab a clean bag and fill it with ice to apply to Jen's head while doing so I briefed my
manager Sean McAlister on what had happen and that there is no need to come
dovmstairs for the mee�ting with Jen about the money because of what has just happeq I
thought we could discuss that at a later date. I Sean Tierney also told the 93X staffthat
we would deal with the money issue later.
I then began telling Jen that I would like for her to stop at the emergency room
that night. Jen and I went round and round she finally left the building to go to the
hospital at around 1:45am to 2am. Jen then was out in the parking lot of Sean's Grille &
Pub not wanting to go to the hospital that took another 15 minutes to get her into the car
(due to all the alcohol).
Jen finally got escorted to the emergency room, I Sean Tierney finished up at the
bar, locked up and we�t to Unity Hospital were Jen was being treated and released, the
doctor said someone had to stay with her for 24 hours so I told Jen I would take her home
and stay with her for awhile. On my way over to Jen's home I stopped to see Sean
McAlister at a friends house at approximately 3:30am to 4am to let him know a little on
what had happen. I then went to Jen's house till the early morning hours.
50 '
Later, the ne�ct week Jen had stopped at Sean's Grille & Pub to say hella we spent
some personal time together, during the conversation we had together she mentioned that
I should buy her a new outfit (clothing) so she can look good for me this coming Friday.
Sean NicAlister and I talked about the money issue after she left. McAlister is positive he
paid Jen, I have no reason to believe foul play with my manager, so we came to the
conclusion that she had stole that money intentionally.
Sean Tierney and Sean McAlister phoned 93X and told them we were not
interested in having the 93x-Girls at my place of business, we would only need their DJ.
Jen showed up in the middle of September to hang out at the baz. When I Sean
Tierney sa.w Jen she said that I should run her a bar tab and lose it at the end of the night.
I told Jen I do not n.in my business that way and also let her Irnow that I did not think she
was welcome in my establishment, I then walked away. Later I was out on the dance
floor I looked up as Jen was approaching me to dance with me, I then walked away from
her again. Shortly after that I did not see Jen anywhere in the building and did not see her
for the rest of the night. �-- --
A week or two later I received your phone call asking for a statement from myself
(Sean Tierney). I hope all of this helps in your investigation.
Sincerely,
Sean Tierney

Based upon the compiaint that Sean's was seiling alcohol to underaged persons, we conducted a compiiance check ai
that location last evening (Jan. 22nd.). The 20 year old female was served an alcholic beverage without presenting or
being asked for ID and was charged with a gross misdemeanor. The server/bartender did state that she was new to
Sean's but has worked in that capacity previcusly at another licensed establishment. We will probably try this again ir he
future. FYI.

Public Safety Director Sallman requested I go to Sean's Pub to obser��e ?he 60°ro to 40% food to liquor ratio andpossibie
f; audulent register practice�.
On ?:'7r'03, at approximately 2100 hours, Officer Swanson and I w�ent to Sean's Pub in plain clothes. We entered the
buildina and were advised by an employee that there was a�� cover charse and a mandatory coat check. I paid �10 dollars for
Ofticer Swanson and I and we secured our coats in the trunk of our vehicle. It should be noted that the $� cover charge was not
entered into a re;ister and was physically controlled by the employee. w'e sat at the east side of the bar near the tap bee+r
dispensers and had a ciear view of the two registers behind the bar. I immediately noticed that both registers were not turned or�
and the money drawers were propped open with saltshakers. I ordered a Seagram's 7/7 Up and water. Money was given to a
male bartender who opened the money drawer and made change without touching any buttons on the register. � We observecl
several money transactions at both registers and at no time were any buttons pushed. There was also no register tape visible in
the registers and the registers appeared to have no power to them. Officer Swanson and I then ordered appetizers with a female -
employee who wrote our order down on a piece of paper, which she placed near the register. Again, the employee made chan�e
for our food without pushin� any buttons on the register.
At approximately 2150 hours, I went downstairs where a second bar is set up with two registers. I immediately noticed that
both money drawers were propped open with saltshakers. 1 ordered a mixed drink and observed the bartender make change our
of one re�ister without pushing any buttons. I also observed the bartender make change for a patron out of the second register
�vithout touching any buttons. All visible registers were dark and appeared to have no power to them. I was also unable to hear
the registers make any noises and no register tape was visible. During my ��alk throu�h, I noticed a female selling bottled bee�'
from a large trough upstairs and a second female selling bottled beer from. a trough do«nstairs. I watched several patrons buy
beer from both females and the money was retained by the employee and never entered into a register. �Ve also checked the
entire establishment for other patrons who ordered food. We noticed that we were the only ones that had food visible. It shoulc�
be noted that it became difficult to walk freely at Sean's due the high number of people inside the establishment.

- T'nz bar on thz upp�r le�: el had t�ti o::;is[ers. Both ce�iscers �vere curned otf and the tilI drawers were kept open a eouple of
inches at all times. There appeared to be a saltshaker holdins the ciil open on the northwest side of the baz. There was an
object holding the other rill drawer open at the southeast part of the bar also.
- Duz co the tact that thc re�isters w�ere otf, nothin� was ever cung up at the registers. ���hen a patron otdered a drink, the
b�nender broughc them the drink and �ook monev for it. The bartender then went to the open tili drawer and placed the
money inside. (f chan�e w�as nreded che banender w�ould take the chan�e out of thr dra�ver and give it to the patron. No

- The bar on the lo��er levtl also had Rti�o re�isters. T�� tili drawers on zach re_ister w�erz held oprn a:ouple of inches the
same �vay as the till drawers were held open upstairs. The registers on the lower level were also off. I observed the same
process for serving drinks on the lower level that I had observed on the upper tevel. Cash that was paid by customers went
into the open tills without ant record of the sale.
- At one point while I w•as seated at the upper level bar, I observed a bartender remove several bills from till. She gave the bills
to a security employee. "Ihe security employee then gave her two bundles of bills that she placed into the rill drawer.
- I atso observed two beer bins in the estabtishment that were monitored by female employees. There was one bin on each
Ievel. I observed patrons at each bin pay cash for their beer. The female employees took the cash and held it themselves.
There were no re;isters at the bins and there appeared to be no record of the sales.
Officer Salo and I teft the business at approx. ZZ40 hours. It should be noted that we were both in plainclothes and at no time
identitied ourselves as police officers.

Dave, �
Just a note to update you on Sean's. I received a call of an overdose of Meth at about 0115 hrs on 02-16-02. As i
arrived, the intoxicated remale waving me in, fell on the very icy parking lot, possibly breaking her arm. I provided aid to
the overdose victim ard was advised by bystanders and unidentified staff members that she may have obtained the drugs
from people in the bar. None of the people wanted to be identified and they left while i was providing emergency aid to the
victim, who had stopped breathing.
I forwarded a drug form to DTF. While i was writing my report near the bar, I observed several intoxicated oeople
leaving the bar at about Q150 hours. Due to cali (oad, I had to leave and did not question the people leaving to see if they
were staff or patrons.
Just information, but we will be watching for a similar late departure from the bar in the future.

Dear ti1r. Tierney,
:�ttached is a police report from Feb. 23"�, 2003 at about 1�.�I of an assault that is
alleged to have occurred in the rest room at Sean's. �Iy concern is that there is a
comment in the report that "a male...identified himself as the ow�ner and told him that he
sa�v �,vhat happened and the male was removed from the bar for fi�htin�". I appreciate
that this was the report oPthe victim and, althou�h I don't know why he would make that
up, may not be an accurate statement. Clearly, if you or one of the employees witnessed
a crime, you have a responsibility to call the police, not have the suspect leave the
location. I have notified you verbally before that you are to call the police any time that
there is a crime w�here an investi�ation needs to occur. An assault is a crime that requires
an investi�ation.
This letter is to notify you that if further crimes such as assaults, sexual assaults, dama?e
to property, theft, etc. occur and we (police) become aware that at a later date that you
had information on the crime and did not contact us immediately, it will reflect on your
licensing status. If the attached crime did occur as reported, it is necessary for immediate
response in order to obtain suspect and witness information. As I have noticed
previously, it is not necessary to contact us every time you escort someone from the
location. But if that person has committed a serious crime such as an assault, we need to
hear about it immediately.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions relative to this issue.

Re: Sean's Pub
Dave — here is a copy of my supplement from 3/1/03. Things appear to be
operating as before except for the 80,000 btu heater that was running
downstairs. I believe Ralph Messer would be interested in this information but
I'm not sure who you want to make aware of our involvement up there or when
you want to make them aware of it. The heater was so obvious that Ralph could
approach the issue as an anonymous complaint from a patron. Oh, I was also
wondering about the "thong" contest and if that violates any licensing issues.
Just so you know, I had to talk Skip out of entering the contest. He actually
thought he could win!

Re: Seans
Regarding t�e attached incident repc�t invoiving Seans owner Sean McCailister,
thought that you should be aware of N1cCallister's excuse for failing to notify
police. N1cCallister said that he and Tiemey met with you and were told that they
did not need to reporf minor scuffles. I pointed out that the described incident
was hardly minor, considering that one party had sustained visible injury.
McCallister suggested that no such injury occurred from the altercation. I advised
nim that your letter was not ambiguous — assaults and thefts were spec�cally
identified as requiring not�cation.
My supplement in this matter alludes to a DUI arrest which occurred Saturday
morning (03-054299). Driver going wrong way on divided roadway — tested .19 —
claimed to be on his way home from... Seans.

old me that he is a DJ for a 93X radio station sponsored show at Seans Grille & Pub.11�1ohr said that in the past there has been
;ome problem in getting payment from the owner, Sean McCallister. Mohr said that after the show tonight, McCallister asked
lim to sign a receipt stating that he (�Iohr) had been paid by the bar for the 93X DJ gig. Mohr said that he told McCallister that
�e had not been paid. Mohr said that McCallister ciaimed the money had been left out on a table and was now missing. Mohr
old me that McCallister accused him of stealing the money. Mohr said that during the disagreement McCallister "head butted"
iim in the head and also punched him. Mohr said that Salo aIso got "head butted" and punched by McCallister.l�lohr told me
hat a Seans bouncer, named "Cory" got in between to settle the situation down. Mohr said that Cory also got "head butted" and
�unched by McCallister and was fired on the spot. Mohr, Salo and �litzuk left as it seemed that McCallister was out of control.
' observed no obvious sign of injury to Mohr. Salo's account was the same as Mohr's. He had been drinking. Salo had a small
;cratch on his nose, a scrape or laceration over his left eye and the brow over his left eye was obviously puffy. Mitzuk witnessed
he altercation involving NicCallister and confirmed Niohr's and Salo's account. Mohr and Salo wanted the incident
iocumented — no charjes indicated. Nfohr said that 93X will likely dissolve their contract with Seans and his boss wanted a
�olice report made to document the incident. Salo was set to leave on vacation out of the country later in the day. Report made.
vo contact made with McCallister as the bar was closed and appeared unoccupied.

On 3/1 �; 03 I went to Seans Grille & Pub and met with owner, Sean NlcCallister. We discussed a concern I had about a bar
patron's level of intoxication on a DUI arrest earlier in the morning. I then asked McCallister if there had been any problems
lately and he said there had not been. vlcCallister went on to discussed business issues. I noted that �IcCallister failed to
brin� up anything concerninv the alteged theft or assauit itom the morning. I then inquired as to whether he had any problems
with the 93X radio DJ (�fohr). �IcCallister told me that there had been past problems conceming the DJ's claiming not to
have been paid when �1cCallister believed that they had been. �IcCallister said that after bar closing the past moming, a
dispute arose when the DJ claimed not to have been paid. McCallister said that he had left the money out for the DJ and it
was gone. McCallister said that the DJ "invaded (his] personal space" and was yelling at him. McCallister said that he felt
threatened by the DJ so he head butted him. McCallister said that the DJ's friend, Eric (Salo), then got involved. McCallister
said that Eric grabbed his neck and ripped a chain off that was around his neck. McCallister said that he head butted Eric as
well in response to Eric's aggressive acrions. McCallister pointed out a red abrasion on the left side of his neck caused by
Eric. McCallister denied any confrontation with bouncer Cory and claimed that he was srill working for the baz, but had not
yet reported in to work tonight. McCallister said that after the confrontation with the DJ and Eric, it was agreed not to
continue their business relationship. McCallister said that the DJ and Eric left approximately ten minutes later. McCallister
said that he considered the incident minor and so didn't notify police. I advised McCallister of the visible injuries to Eric
(Salo). He suggested that they didn't occur from the altercation with him. I reiterated the department's expectations
concerning notification on assault and theft incidents. NFA

Date: March 19, 2003
Re: Setting Public Hearing Date for MN Sean Co, d/b/a Sean's Grill & Pub, 8298 University Ave
NE, Fridley, MN 55432
The Fridley City Code states that "Applications for the renewal of an existing license shall be made at
least 60 days prior to the date of the expiration of the license and shall be made in such abbreviated form
as the City Council may approve.
As of the submission of this memo to the City Managers Office we have not received the following
information required for renewal of the liquor license for the location as stated above and thus the
renewal application is incomplete.
• We have not received any form of proof of ineeting the minimum requirement for
food. Fridley City Code Section 603.10.19 states that at the time of renewal, "the
applicant shall submit proof to the City that a minimum of 40% of the gross sales,
derived from the sale of food and intoxicating liquors of the establishment, for
which the "on-sale" license is to be used, is in the serving of food," as required by
Section 603.10.18.
• We have not received a certificate of insurance for liquor liability showing
coverage for the new license period. Fridley City Code Section 603.16, requires
that the person licensed to sell at retail intoxicating liquor demonstrate proof of
financial responsibility with regard to liability by providing the appropriate
insurance policy as provided by this section.
• We also have not received a Bond that runs to the City of Fridley as required by
State Statutes. Fridley City Code Section 603.15 requires that each application
for liquor license shall be accompanied by a surety bond in the amount of $3,000.
We have reason to believe that the applicant will be unable to provide the city with the missing
elements to the renewal application. Along with the information that I have stated above I am
aware that both the police and fire department have concerns over some public safety issues
that have occurred at Sean's over the past license period.
Based upon this information, staff recommends a motion scheduling a public hearing for April 14,
2003 at 7:30 p.m. for the for the purpose and consideration of the renewal of the Intoxicating Liquor
Licgnse for MN Sean Co., d/b/a Sean's Grill and Pub for the property located at 8298 University

RE: Sean's Griile & Pub
To Whom It May Concern:
My analysis of the sales tax reports for 2002 for Sean's Grille & Pub shows the ratio of liquor to
food sales is approximately 60% to 40%. Other general rate sales would inciude such items as
cover charges and vending machine income. I have not audited these sales tax reports or the
sales for the year 2002.
If you have any fu�ther questions, please feel free to contact me at (651) 501-2050.

Reczi�-ed from Fridle�� Resident �,?�%Q3
I visited Sean's Pub Iccated in Fridiey on March 13`h and 15'", 2003. On both
dates I observed unusual and non-typical business practices occurring with the
money handling. My purchases, as well as purchases made by other customers
were not entered into the cash register system. The cash drawer was kept in the
open position and the change from my payment was made from the open cash
drawer. On both visits, employees of the operation did not enter any sale into the
point of sale equipment by pressing the keys on the cash register. I did not
observe any lighted display on the cash registers, which may mean that they are
not turned on or that they do not function.
During my visit on Thursday March 13th 2003, I attempted to place an order fo�
food. I was informed that the kitchen was closed. I was provided a menu of the
establishment's food selection. When I asked an employee about the hours of
food service I was told that it depended on how busy they are and if there was a
cook on hand to prepare the food. I inquired about lunch hours and on what day's
food was served. I was told that the availability of food "really depends on a lot of
things."
On Saturday MarcF� 15`� 2003, I observed a grocrp of individuals leave the bar
and walk around the partcing lot randomly pushing on vehicles in an attempt to
activate the alarm system. While I did not witness any crime occumng, 1 do know
that people attempting to burglarize a vehicle will check to see if the vehicle has
an alarm system by pushing on it before breaking into it.

Dear Mr. Tierney,
Please be aware we are in receipt of the information that you delivered to the City Clerks office
on Wednesday March 26, 2003 that pertains to the renewal of your liquor license. After a review
of the materials you provided, we found that you have complied with the following
requirements:
• Surety Bond
• Liability Insurance
After reviewing the information that you provided in relation to your food to liquor sales, I am
informing you that the information that you have supplied does not comply with the requirement
outlined within Chapter 603 of the City Code. The code requires that `the applicant shall file
with the City Clerk a statement made by a certified public accountant that shows the total gross
sales and the total food sales of the restaurant for the twelve (12) month period immediately
preceding the date for filing renewal applications."
I have been in contact with Jeffrey P. Bearth, the accountant that supplied your statement to us.
Mr; Bearth is not a CPA and is not attesting to the accuracy of the numbers or percentages. I
asked him to provide me with an income statement that would outline the details of your sales.
He did provide one to me via the fax, but this statement does not provide the line item detail such
as food sales, liquor sales, and other. Please understand that this information has been requested
and complied with by all of our other license holders, and failure to send the requested
information may result in denial of the liquor license.
Due to the late submission of your renewal package a public hearing on the renewal of your
license has been scheduled for April 14, 2003.
Sincerely,
C Y OF FR EY

receive 31 �0 in cash. There were six females who entered the contest and I observed all the females pull down their outer clothing
exposing their "thong" uaderwear. At no time did the females expose their genitalia. It should be noted that the femaIes were placed
on an elevated p(atform for che contest so other patrons could clearly see the contest.

Memorandum
��
To: Rick Pribyl �, ��`�� i
From: Dave Sallman ' � �° '
Date: Aprii 3, 2003
Re: Sean's
I am writing this in preparation for the public hearing set for April 14'h, 2003 to
consider renewal of the Liquor License for Sean's Grille and Pub. Attached is a
memo from Fire Marshall Ralph Messer noting some issues the most notable
being the use of an unvented, propane fueled heater to heat the lower level of
the establishment.
There are a number of public safety related issues concerning Sean's. The
police department began monitoring activity at Sean's in 2002 when we received
an anonymous complaint. The complainant informed us that Sean's was not
using the cash register to ring up any of the drinks purchased. We were able to
substantiate this on several occasions both with plainclothes police officers and
private citizens that observed the cash registers were open at all times and sales
were not recorded on them. The subject also informed us that Sean's was open
on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in violation of City Ordinance. We have no
proof to substantiate or negate that claim.
The subject fu�ther stated that Sean's was selling alcohol to underage persons.
On January 22"d, 2003 Fridley Police had an underage person attempt to
purchase an alcoholic beverage from Sean's without identification. She was
successful in doing so. The server was charged with the violation of State law.
Another issue concerning Sean's is that City 603.20 states in part that "No
person shall work as a manager of a premises licensed under this Chapter, and
no licensee shall permit any such person to be so employed, unless such person,
within seven (7) days after first being so employed, shall apply for a license to
� engage in such business". In a signed statement by owner Sean Tierney dated
October 24th, 2002, he repeatedly refers to Sean McAlister as a" manager" and
- "his manage�". There are additional police reports on investigations into assaults
where Sean McAlister paid employees, was referred to as one of the owners and
as a manager. We have received no application for Sean McAlister either as an
owner or for a managerial license.
:
One issue that has been of concern is the number of assaults and disorde�ly
conduct calis to Sean's. Sean's has had more reports of assaults occurring at
the estabiishment than any licensed establishment in Fridley. It is nowhere near
the largest or the busiest estab�ishment in Fridley. The number of reported
assaults is 7, which by itself is not an overwhelming number, but we have
information that management is discouraging calling police. None of the reported
assaults were the result of a call from the management of Sean's. Following an
assault on August 17th, 2002 that was not reported to us until August 27`h, 2Q02, I
verbally told Sean Tierney that it was necessary to contact us any time there was
a crime that required investigation such as an assault. On February 23�d, 2003
there was an assault that was reported by the father of the victim. The report
mentioned that victim had some contact with someone who identified himself as
the owner. I sent a letter (attached, dated February 27�', 2003) that informed
Sean Tierney in writing of their responsibility to contact the police if there were a
crime of which they were aware or witnessed that would require police
investigation. Shortly after the letter was sent, Sean Tierney and Sean McAlister
came to my o�ce to discuss the letter. I reiterated their responsibility to contact
the police immediately on all situations that would require investigation by the
police. I told them if there was someone that was loud and disorderly we did not
care if they esco�ted the subject out, but if there was an assault, we needed to be
called immediately.
On March 15�', 2003 Sean McAlister was reported to have head butted a DJ
over a pay dispute (Sean McAlister claimed that he had paid the subject) and
then head butted one of the security personnel that tried to intervene. One of the
victims ended up going to the hospital with the case being investigated as felony
assault. The victim notified police after closing and after he left the establishment.
The management never reported the assaults. When asked why they did not
report the incident management stated that I told them they did not need to report
"minor scuffles". This was clearly not a minor scuffle. The point being that the
management, in spite of repeated warnings, refuses to cooperate with the police
department on any of the investigations into obvious crimes at the establishment.
It is possible that other licensed establishments do not call on every assault also,
but it is reasonable to assume that if the assaults were occurring at the other
establishments, we would be getting reports after the fact as we have at Sean's.
Sean Tierney has expressed a concern to me that he is worried about reporting
the incidents because it will be used against him when it comes time for
licensing. It is very likely that the number of assaults at Sean's has been vastly
under reported. I have informed him (and a number of other licensees) that the
intent is to have an environment that does not foster assaultive behavior. Clearly
Sean's has not achieved that goal. City Code 603.10 (subd. 2) states "Licensees
shall be responsible for the conduct of their place of business and the conditions
of sobriety and order in the place of business and on the premises". Sean's has
not only failed to follow this Condition of License, there is a strong indication that
the licensee has intentionally violated it.
:
0
0
Officers and others have noted on numerous occasions that the cash registers
are not used. "Beer bins" are used where the attendant simply makes change
and pockets the money. There is no cash register or recorded transaction.
Officers and others have reported that food service is very seldom observed and
that at times they have been told that they cannot order food when they have
tried.
There have been a number of violations noted concerning this establishment. It
is obvious that the licensee is either unwilling or incapable of operating a licensed
establishment in accordance with City Code 603. Several of the violations such
as the open flame heater and repeated assaults without repo�ting fall into the
category of blatant. There have been other issues such as a dnag overdose and
cash payroll (no records) to employees that are in need of further investigation. It
is my strong recommendation that the City Council not renew this license. We
will be available to discuss these issues at the public hearing scheduled for April
14, 2003.

Fridley, l�t�i »43?
Dear Mr. Tierney,
Attached is a police report from Feb. 23�d, 2003 at about 1 A1�1 of an assault that is
alleged to have occurred in the rest room at Sean's. My concern is that there is a
comment in the report that "a male...identified himself as the o�vner and told him that he
saw what happened and the male was removed from the bar for fightin�". I appreciate
that this w�as the report of the victim and, althou�h I don't know why he would make that
up, may not be an accurate statement. Clearly, if you or one of the employees witnessed
a crime, you have a responsibility to call the police, not have the suspect leave the
location. I have notified you verbally before that you are to call the police any time that
there is a crime where an investigation needs to occur. An assault is a crime that requires
an investi�ation.
This letter is to notify you that if further crimes such as assaults, sexual assaults, damage
to property, theft, etc. occur and we (police) become awaze that at a later date that you
had information on the crime and did not contact us immediately, it will reflect on your
licensing status. If the attached crime did occur as reported, it is necessary for immediate
response in order to obtain suspect and witness information. As I have noticed
previously, it is not necessary to contact us every time you escort someone from the
location. But if that person has committed a serious crime such as an assault, we need to
hear about it immediately.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions relative to this issue.
Sincerely,

To: Dave Sallman
From: Ralph �tesser
Subject: Sean's Grille and Pub
Date: �pril 2, 2003
This memorandum is in response to your request concerning possible fire code issues at Sean's Grille and Pub
located at 8298 University Avenue, N.E.
On �Ionday, �larch 3, 2003, I received a complaint from your office alleging the use of a propane fueled
Coleman heater inside the basement at Sean's on Saturday, March l. Buildin� Official Ron Julkowski and I
went to Sean's to investiQate the complaint. One of the owners admitted the use of an unvented, propane-fueled
heater and 20 lb. propane fuel cylinder inside the business alle�edly to heat the basement entry area on the �vest
side of buildin� as described in the complaint you received. The heater and fuel cylinder had been removed
prior to i�Ir. Julkowski and I arrivin� at Sean's and placed in a vehicle. In addition to the fire concems with the
heater and propane cylinder, the heater �vas unvented to the buildin� exterior. This potentially dangerous
situation allow�ed products of carbon fuel combustion includinj poisonous carbon monoxide to be released into
an occupied business. The ow�ner was advised that Minnesota Uniform Fire Code 1103.3.2.6 prohibits the
operation of fueled heating equipment inside an occupied buildin� and further use of any unvented fueled
equipment inside would not be tolerated.
Durin� the complaint inspection and resultin� investi?ation, a number of other deficiencies were noted and a
Correction Order was issued including:
• Removal of all extension cords used as permanent wiring
• Repair of electrical light switches and electrical outlets
• Replacement of all damaged or missing ceiling tile
• Closin� open circuit breaker slots in electrical distribution panels
• Removal of or establishing orderly storage of combustible materials
• Repair of interior doors to close and operate properly (in a one hour rated wall)
• Removal of snow obstructing the exit discharge from the exit door located at the west end of the deck
• Replacement of exit door hardware on the west end of the basement to the parking lot
• Restrictin� parking on the lot side of the west exit door to prevent obstruction of the exit discharge
• Fire stoppin� utility chases through the floor
• Removin� materials obstructing access to utilities and the buildin�'s fire sprinkler system
• Replacement of the suspended ceilin� above the lower level dance floor (allegedly removed by a band hired
to perform at Sean's)
• Alteration of the sprinkler system above the lo�ver level dance floor if required by replacement of the
suspended ceilin�
• Removal of decorative lighting from sprinkler system piping
86
• Installation of an additional esit/emer;ency light unit at the bottom of e�ess stairs on the east end of the
lower level
As oP March 26, a number of these conditions had been corrected. Another follo�v up inspection will be
conducted un Apri1 10, 2�03.
Please contact me if ��ou require additional infortnation.
