Former Tom Thumb, 15040 Canada Avenue Community Development Director Rogness introduced the request for zoning changes to allow a restaurant at 15040 Canada Avenue.It is a.8 acre lot which is zoned C-1,Convenience Commercial, and for which a C-4 zoning, General Commercial, to allow a restaurant is requested by John A. Ursino. The Planning Commission recommended the rezoning after a public hearing at their December 22, 1998,meeting.Many questions followed about the limited parking(1 stall per 3 seats) and building size; separation of restaurant and lounge; results of market studies; and noted that the fuel tanks from the Tom Thumb have been removed. Ursino described a Victorian family restaurant with seating for 100 in the main dining area,a private meeting room for 20, and a lounge for about 30 with televisions. There would be a half wall separation between the lounge and an open grill and kitchen. The interior wood would be light in color in the dining area. Detailed plans are still under development. Council asked to continue this item until after the Public Hearing which is related.

Assistant to the City Administrator Walsh presented information about the liquor applicants,who are John and Susan Ursino, Donald Fluegel, and Robert Yanz. The applicants described their experience and background in the restaurant business. Walsh noted that all background checks were clean, fees paid, and insurance would be submitted prior to issuance of a license.The license period would be from March 1, 1999 to December 31, 1999. Ursino provided additional information. The limited menu would include fish, steak, chicken and daily lunch and dinner specials. The division between the lounge and restaurant would be a five foot high wall with glass above it. There would be tables and booths, separated smoking and non- smoking areas. Pull tabs would be allowed. Council discussed the options of a beer/wine license rather than the intoxicating liquor license. 2 � � ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 5, 1999 Mr.Fleugel informated City Council a liquor license was needed to make the business successful. Walsh noted there are six liquor license allowed in Rosemount with only three now being used. Mayor Busho opened the meeting for public comment. E.B. McMenomy, 4122 143rd Street West,was in support of the liquor license for Tavern On 42. McMenomy noted that the liquor license is renewed yearly, so that if desired, Council at a later date could revoke it. City Attorney LeFevere noted that revoking of a license would have to be for just cause, and may not be accomplished that easily. It is a reasonable expectation that renewal will occur. Sheila Klassen, 12430 Canada Ct.,was not comfortable with a full service bar and restaurant, but would be with 3/2 beer and wine and more separation between the lounge and restaurant. Two boy scouts, Joe Casey, 15455 Danville Ave., and Vance Haugeman, 14864 Crestview Ave., from Troop 259 asked of the owners of Tavern On 42 if they would have video games to play while their parents finish eating. Ursino said that hand held videos or table top videos may be available. MOTION by Busho to close the Public Hearing. Second by Edwards. Ayes: Four. Nays: None. Motion carried. Wippermann noted that he fully supported this liquor license application and looked forward to a family restaurant in Rosemount. Wippermann noted that the current population has kept chain restaurants from locating in Rosemount and this may be a great opportunity for families and senior citizens to have a fun meal without a smokey, noisy atmosphere. Carroll also supported the liquor application, looking forward to an altemative family dining experience. Busho had concerns for a full service bar mixing with family dining. Busho would not support the application without further information. Edwazds also had concerns and would prefer the restaurant be established first, and then consider a full service bar. Consensus was to table the liquor license and rezoning. MOTION by Edwards to table Items 7. Application for On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor and Sunday Liquor Licenses by Tavern On 42 and 9.d.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 5, 1999 The location of the site is north of the National Guard Maintenance Facility on Biscayne Avenue and east of the railroad tracks next to Rosemount Woods Manufactured Homes. Kari Gill from Dakota County HRA presented a partnership concept for housing designed to help low to moderate income families to transition to single family homes.The rent is expected to be $460 to $490 per month for a family income of$21,000. The average family size is 2.5 people. The HRA has similar housing in Lakeville, Apple Valley,Hastings,Eagan,Burnsville, and Inver Grove Heights. The HRA has a fifteen year contract for management. Council questioned Gill about basements (none), double garages(only single), play equipment (yes, for use by both developments). Council would like to have lower housing unit density.Many Rosemount residents have commented to Council that there are too many townhome developments and affordable housing projects. E.B. McMenomy described his portion of the development. There would be 33 twinhomes and 3- plexes in the price range of$125,000 to $160,000 per unit with double garages. This is marketed primarily to empty nesters. The railroad has proved not to be a sales problem with other newer developments in Rosemount. Rogness noted that the comparison of single family to multiple housing throughout Rosemount is 63% Single Family to 37%multi-family from 2000 to 2010 and a proposed 93% single family to 7%multi-family from 2010 to 2020.
