Beth Giliuson, 3625 143rd Street West, advised the City Council of a paxking issue near the Rosemount High School. During sporting events parking by students, parents, and spectators is occurring even where prohibited. This is putting pedestrians and drivers at risk. Often both sides of the street have parked cars not allowing a normal flow of traffic. The streets most affected are Chili Avenue with parking on the hill and 143rd Street just south of the ballfield. The school parking lot usually has parking room available but it is farther to walk. Giliuson has talked with many neighbors and they would like to have the yellow no-parking line e�rtended near the street corners, put up signs with a similar phrase to "no parking for ballfield events", and have school coaches tell teams and spectators to use the school parking lot. Mayor Busho thanked Ms. Giliuson and directed staff to research this parking issue. Public Works Director Osmundson discussed a corridor study for CSAH 42 and forming an advisory committee.

Morris reviewed the results from the community survey of 401 residents conducted between February 8 and March 3, 1997. The results indicated that Rosemount citizens were very pleased with their community. Now, more residents see Rosemount as a"suburb" rather than a"small town." The household median yearly household income is $58,500 which is double what it was in a 1989 survey. Over 80% of residents approved of the maintenance of street lights, removal of litter from city streets, parks, trails, condition of picnic facilities and play equipment in city paxks, police response time to calls, enforcement of trai�ic laws by police departments, and outdoor skating rinks. A solid majority felt that code enforcement with respect to animal control, garbage disposal,junk cars, messy yards and noise was"about right." However, 32 % of the respondents rated the enforcement of the junk car ordinance as"not tough enough" and 24% felt similarly about the enforcement of"messy" yards. Community spirit, friendly people and knowing your neighbor were important to the majority. Overall, residents are happy to live in Rosemount.

Assistant to the Administrator Walsh presented a request from McDivot's Sports Pub and Eatery to amend the On-Sale Liquor Licenses to allow alcoholic beverages to be served on an existing patio located to the north of the building. Ornamental black iron railing would be installed around the patio area. Wa1sh explained that stai�felt that alcohole should not be served past 10:00 p.m. rather than be allowed to remain open until 1:00 a.m. This time restriction would help to curtail noise that might disrupt people in the senior high rise and condominium adjacent to this property. Rob Moen, manager of McDivot's, spoke in behalf of the request. Moen noted that in past years motorcyclists had caused late night noise problems, but now the cliental has changed and that should no longer be troubling. McDivot's believes that an outdoor patio will appeal to local business people, area baseball teams and others who enjoy the cooler evening air. They do serve dinners until 11:00 p.m. and would like the hours for the patio to remain open until then. Council requested that the adjacent residents of the senior high rise and condominiums be notified of this potential change so that their opinions can be noted. MOTION by Edwards to table the decision on a request from McDivot's Sports Pub and Eatery to amend the On-Sa1e Liquor Licenses until May 6, 1997.
