DBA Fireside located at 3410 150 Street West to allow for outdoor liquor service in the fenced area ad'acent to buildin on Saturda Se tember 10, 2011, sub'ect to conditions. ISSUE Together Rosemount Area Athletic Association ("RA.AA"), The Pond and Fixeside are co-sponsoring an event schedule for Saturday, September 10, 2011. The Fall Family Fun Festival will be held inside The Pond ice rink and outside in the paxking lot adjacent to Fireside to raise funds for RAAA. The main event is a Martin Zeller concert in the pa.rking lot in the evening. Event xepresentatives have requested that liquor service be extended in the additional fenced area of the building from 5:00 p.m. —11:00 p.m. They have also requested that the music cease at 11:00 p.m. Representatives were advised that if the event were to end at 11:00 p.m. an appeal would need to be made to the City Council and the issues would be addressed at the meeting. While the Leptechaun Days at Central Paxk end at 11:00 p.m., staff believed this event was diffexent in nature due to its ptoxixnity to residential homes and was not part of a City festival. Last August Fixeside and The Pond made a request to hold a similar event At that time, they requested that the alcohol service and live music end at 11:00 p.m. Staff supported the event but xecommended that the outdoor music and service of alcohol end at 10:00 p.m. After considerable discussion at the City Council meeting last year, the City Council voted to allow for a 10:30 p.m. end time. Because the event was held inside the issue became moot. Therefore, staff has no other event similar in natute to compare to this event Staff continues to prefer an end time of 10:00 p.m. based upon several factors: 10 p.m. is a commonly used time for noise related ordinances in City Codes. While Rosemount does not have a specific Code covexing music or similar amplified sound, consttuction activities axe limited to no later than 10 p.m. M-F and 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sundap. Each year the Police Department responds to a few complaints of music in neighborhoods when a band or DJ is providing music at an event at a residence. Typically this occurs for a graduation, wedding reception or other special event. 'I'hese complaints generally are received when the music continues past 10 p.m. and sometimes complaints are received earlier in the evening. Bands or DJs in a backyard setting have a much smaller sound system than GB Leighton will be using at the Hockey Rocks The Pond event. Music on patios at liquor establishments is permitted by City Code as background music only. A live band will be much louder than background music; therefore, staff believes limits should be more restrictive. Noise complaints are also received occasionally about the loud speaker at the RHS football stadium. This most often occurs when a game or event goes later than the norm. The curtent On-Sa1e Class B Liquox License issued to Fireside only includes the restaurant as its premise. Typically liquox licenses are only valid in the compact and contiguous building ox structure situated on the premise. The license may be extended to an outdoox deck or patio atea provided the specific criteria, in City Code is met bp the licensee and appxoved by City Council. Further, City Code Chapter 3-1-12, Subdivision C states that is unlawful for any person to consume into�cating liquor or 3.2.percent malt liquor or have in his possession any bottle ox receptacle conraini into�cicating liquor or 3.2 percent malt liquor which is open while in the parking atea of any shopping center or other commercial establishment Ms. Johnson is proposing an additional area for liquor sexvice as depicted on the site plan which is not part of the licensed pxemise. Because of the nature of the request, a liquor license amendment with City Council approval is xequixed to allow for the sale of alcohol in the fenced area of the parking lot. Since a formal process for applying for outdoor events involving music and/or liquor service has not been fully developed in the Ciry Code, staff inet with the representa.tives to ensure that compliance with existing liquor and safety requirements were met and that noise regulations were addressed. The Police Department is aware of the event and will xespond to any reported noise complaints. Staff will continue to finalize an application and approval process in Ciry Code to address future outdoor events. RECOMMENDATION Infoxmation detailing the outdoor events taking place during the da.y and evening has been submitted to staff along with the request for the extension of liquox service and outdoor music. While staff still prefexs the 10:00 p.m. end time, staff recommends the extension of the service of alcohol with the condition that alcohol is allowed in the fenced area between the hours of 5:00-10:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 10, 2011. This is based upon the City Council's previous decision for this event last year. All patrons must exit the fenced area by 11:00 p.m. 2 CITY OF ROSEMOUNT DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOIUTION 2011 A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE LIQUOR LICENSE AMENDMENT OF THE ON-SALE CLASS B LIQUOR LICENSE FOR THOMPSONS FIRESIDE PIZZA II, INC.

Droste, MayoY ATTEST: Amq Domeier, City Clerk Amy and Council Members, I am writing to formally request an extension for outdoor music to l lpm for the evening of September l Oth. Fireside will be hosting our Fall Family Fun Festival that evening. The event will be raising funds for the Rosemount Area Athletic Association. The event will include an all day carnival to be followed by a concert. With the ever rising costs and fees related to participating in youth athletics we are hoping that this event will become the main source of revenue generated to help RAAA offset these costs and bolster its scholarship funds to continue to grow opportunities for our local youth to participate. Being that our event will take place in a largely commercial/ retail area of the city I think that the extra hour of music will be very tolerable to the surrounding businesses and residents. With the main sources of revenue coming from the sale of concert tickets along with food and beverage, the extra hour gives us an opportunity to create a more saleable ticket while capturing the volume of food and beverage sales for a longer period of time. We hope the event will have a positive impact on hundreds of families and children while be coming a fantastic fall event for the city. Thank You for your consideration in this matter.
