RESOLUTION `��
CITY OF SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA. ���
Presented By � -
Referred To Committee: Date
WHEREAB, Lexi-Front Inc. DBA Gabe's by the Park at 991 N.
Lexington Parkway has applied for a Modification of Parking
Requirements for an Extension of Service for a patio permit for
an on-sale liquor license reducing the number of off-street
parking spaces required from 108 to 83 ; and
�IiEREAB, notice of a public hearing before the City Council was
duly mailed to each owner of affected property within 350 feet of
the property for which the modification of parking requirements
was sought; and
WIiEREAB, the City Council based on evidence presented at the
public hearing as substantially reflected in the minutes make the
following findings of fact:
1. The applicant proposes to add an unenclosed concrete patio
area of about 1, 000 square feet in area adjacent to the
northeastern portion of the building. The proposed patio
area would remove two existing parking spaces. The applicant
proposes to restripe a rear portion of the parking lot to
provide a few more off-street parking spaces.
2. The applicant has a shared parking agreement with Gould
National Batteries, Inc. for the use of the adjacent 66 space
parking lot. The applicant has indicated in a letter from
his attorney that "as long as Gould National Battery, Inc.
holds (title to) the property (adjacent to Gabe's) , a
'gentleman's agreement' allowing Gabe's in the Park to use
their parking lot at night in exchange for their being able
to use Gabe's parking lot during the day will continue to
exist. " In addition, this letter indicates that if Gould
National Batteries, Inc. ever decides to sell this parking
lot property, the applicant's attorney will be notified of
this decision. '
3. In the site plan review process for this proposed patio area,
� the Parks and Recreation Division of Community Services
identified several conditions for the approval of the site
plan for the applicant. First, the fencing for the patio
should be 6 feet in height and must be continuous so that the
only access to the patio is through the building. Another
condition requires the redesign of the planting plan to
provide a backdrop to the parkway of fewer plant varieties
and more plants, perhaps in a hedge along the property line
along with some coniferous plantings outside the planter bed.

A third condition of the site plan approval includes
prohibiting outdoor loudspeakers and/or live music on the
property. The applicant has agreed to meet these three
conditions.
4. Another condition of the site plan approval that was
considered by the Parks and Recreation Division included
eliminating the existing curb cut and driveway off Lexington
with the installation of a new curb on Lexington and the
parkway area restored with sod and appropriate plantings.
The Parks and Recreation Division discussed this possibility
with the applicant but decided that it was not workable or
practical to require. The Public Works Department
recommended that this driveway be altered to an "in only"
driveway for safety reasons.
5. The applicant indicated that they agree with a one-way
entrance driveway from Lexington but that removing the
driveway would not be workable and would be bad for business
for several reasons. First, their operation cannot depend on
the Gould driveway to the north of Gabe's for access from
southbound Lexington traffic; they believe that much of their
business depends on this direct access. Second, this
driveway is an existing situation rather than a proposed
change. Third, the possibility exists that the outdoor patio
with liquor may not work; if this occurs they would like to
have the flexibility of converting back to their original
layout. Finally, they are concerned that such a change will
add to the expense of the proposed revision and make it
harder to justify economically.
6. The revised site plan submitted by the applicant indicates
the changes that have been recommended by the Public Works
Department and by the Parks and Recreation Division.
7. According to the applicant, he has been in business for about
13 years and has only had two minor violations; one was a
gambling violation involving a private Super Bowl party about
4-5 years ago and one was for serving liquor to a minor about
2-3 years ago.

Lexington Parkway be and the same is hereby granted with the

RE: Modification of Parking Requirement for Gabe's by the Park
at 991 N. Lexington Parkway (License ID #16156)
City Council Hearing: July 12, 1990
Dear Sir:
Attached is the staff report for the request by Gabe's by the
Park for a reduction in the amount of parking required for a
liquor license extension of service for a planned outdoor patio
area.
Gabe's by the Park plans to provide an expanded liquor service
area into the 1, 000 square foot patio area, but does not have
sufficient land to accommodate additional parking. When this
anticipated patio area is included in calculating the parking
requirements for this establishment with an on-sale liquor
license, Gabe's by the Park is 25 parking spaces short.
The applicant has indicated that an informal shared parking
agreement with Gould National Batteries, Inc. , the owner of the
adjacent 66 space parking lot, allows Gabe's patrons to use this
66 space lot in the evening when Gabe's has most of his business.
In return, Gabe's allows Gould National Batteries, Inc. employees
to park in the Gabe's parking lot during regular daytime working
hours.
Staff recommends approval of the variance with the condition that
the shared parking agreement with Gould National Batteries, Inc.
must be in place for the duration of the liquor license.

5. STAFF INVESTIGATION AND REPORT: DATE: June 27, 1990 BY: Marv Bunnell
_ ,.����
A. PURPOSE: The applicant is requesting a modification of parking requirements for
a liquor license. The modification would permit the applicant to serve liquor
both within the existing establishment and in the proposed concrete patio area
near the northeastern corner of the building. Based on the size of the proposed
concrete patio area and the patron area within the building, staff calculated
that to meet the licensing parking requirement he would have to provide 25
additional parking spaces.
B. LEGISLATIVE CODE CITATION:
Parking: Section 410.04 of the Legislative Code requires that establishments
with on sale liquor licenses provide one off-street parking space for every 45
square feet of patron area. However, it provides for modifications of this
requirement:
"The council may modify the off-street parking requirements contained in this
section. . .upon findings made by the council that granting of such modification
would not have a substantial detrimental impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
Modification, if granted, shall be by resolution adopted by at least five (5)
affirmative votes."
"In granting any modification, the council may attach reasonable conditions
regarding the location, design, character and other features of the licensed
structure and parking area deemed necessary for the protection of the adjacent
neighborhood."
C. SITE AND AREA CONDITIONS: The property is located on the eastern edge of Energy
Park and has a lot area of about 41,935 square feet (201' x 208.63' ) . The
property is essentially level with 79 off-street parking spaces currently
striped on the site. To the north is a large building owned by Gould National
Battery Inc. with some parking adjacent to the south side of the building. To
the west is a 66 space parking lot owned by Gould National Battery Inc. and
multiple family residential uses beyond the lot. To the south across Energy Park
Drive are various industrial uses. To the east across Lexington Parkway are
single family, two family, and multiple family residential uses as well as the
Northtown Credit Union.
D. FINDINGS:
�-�o-i�9
1. The applicant proposes to add an unenclosed concrete patio area of about
1,000 square feet in area adjacent to the northeastern portion of the
building. The proposed patio area would remove two existing parking spaces.
The applicant proposes to restripe a rear portion of the parking lot to
provide a few more off-street parking spaces.
2. The applicant has a shared parking agreement with Gould National Batteries,
Inc. for the use of the adjacent 66 space parking lot. The applicant has
indicated in a letter from his attorney that "as long as Gould National
Battery, Inc. holds (title to) the property (ad�acent to Gabe's) , a
'gentleman's agreement' allowing Gabe's in the Park to use their parking lot
at night in exchange for their being able to use Gabe's parking lot during
the day will continue to exist." In addition, this letter indicates that if
Gould National Batteries, Inc. ever decides to sell this parking lot
property, the applicant's attorney will be notified of this decision.
3. In the site plan review process for this proposed patio area, the Parks and
Recreation Division of Community Services identified several conditions for
the approval of the site plan for the applicant. First, the fencing for the
patio should be 6 feet in height and must be continuous so that the only
access to the patio is through the building. Another condition requires the
redesign of the planting plan to provide a backdrop to the parkway of fewer
plant varieties and more plants, perhaps in a hedge along the property line
along with some coniferous plantings outside the planter bed. A third
condition of the site plan approval includes prohibiting outdoor
loudspeakers and/or live music on the property. The applicant has agreed to
meet these three conditions.
4. Another condition of the site plan approval that was considered by the Parks
and Recreation Division included eliminating the existing curb cut and
driveway off Lexington with the installation of a new curb on Lexington and
the parkway area restored with sod and appropriate plantings. The Parks and
Recreation Division discussed this possibility with the applicant but
decided that it was not workable or practical to require. The Public Works
Department recommended that this driveway be altered to an "in only"
driveway for safety reasons.
5. The applicant indicated that they agree with a one way entrance driveway
from Lexington but that removing the driveway would not be workable and
would be bad for business for several reasons. First, their operation cannot
depend on the Gould driveway to the north of Gabe's for access from
southbound Lexington traffic; they believe that much of their business
depends on this direct access. Second, the existing driveway is an existing
condition rather than a proposed change. Third, the possibility exists that
the outdoor patio with liquor may not work; if this occurs they would like
to have the flexibility of converting back to their original layout.
Finally, they are concerned that such a change will add to the expense of
the proposed revision and make it harder to justify economically.
6. The revised site plan submitted by the applicant indicates the changes that
have been recommended by the Public Works Department and by the Parks and
Recreation Division.
7. According to the applicant, he has been business for about 13 years and has
only had two minor violations; one was a gambling violation involving a
private Super Bowl party about 4-5 years ago and one was for serving liquor
to a minor about 2-3 years ago.
�yo-��� y
E. STAFF RECOI�iENDATION: Based on findings 1 through 7, staff recommends approval
of the modification of parking requirements from 108 to 83 off-street parking
spaces with the condition that the shared parking agreement with Gould National
Batteries, Inc. must be in place for the duration of the liquor license.

Re: Site Plan Review for Gabe' s By the Park Patio
Our File No. 431. 1
Dear Mr. Beach:
Enclosed herewith please find six copies of the revised
site plan taking into account recommendations received from.
the Parks and Recreation Department and the Public Works
Department. We have not revised the site plan as per
recommendation number 4 by the Parks and Recreation
Department involving eliminating the existing curb and
driveway off of Lexington. We do not want to eliminate
that driveway for the following reasons:
1. It will greatly add to the expense of the
revision and makes the patio much harder to
justify in terms of the cost/benefit ratio.
2 . The Public Works Department recommended that the
driveway be made a one-way "in only" driveway.
We are willing to follow the recommendation made
by the Public Works Department and make this a
one-way only for incoming cars.
. �yG,.���
Mr. Tom Beach
ZONING FILE '�--'�-

3 . Eliminating the driveway altogether now would not
only be costly but also would eliminate an access
point for Gabe's By the Park. Many of Gabe's
clientele are softball players who come From the
softball fields just north of the business
location. This access point is very convenient
to all of the softball players and the elimina-
tion of it, we believe, would add confusion.
4. In the event that the patio is not successful and
we eliminate it sometime in the near future, we
would like to have the flexibility of converting
back to our current set up. Eliminating that
driveway at the present time would not allow us
any flexibility in the event of any changes made
in the future. We do not own the driveway to the
north of this access and we believe it beneficial
to have at least two access points to our
property.
5. There are no explanations given for this very
expensive recommendation and we believe it is
arbitrary and of questionable benefit to the
city.
Thank you.

RE: Site Plan Review #1194
Gabes by the Park: Patio
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have reviewed the referenced site plan and will approve the plan under
the following conditions:
1. The patio fencing must be continuous, so that the only access to
the patio is through the building, and the fence should be 6 ft.
in height as well .
2. The planting plan must be redesigned to provide a backdrop to the
parkway. There are currently too many different plant varieties
called for, and too few plants. A single plant tyPe, such as the
Globe Arborvitae, trimned as a hedge, would be much better. Also,
some coniferous plantings should be included, outside the planter :
bed (see #4 below).
3. Outdoor loudspeakers and/or live music must be prohibited. �
4. The existing curb cut and driveway off Lexington must be
eliminated, with new curb installed on Lexin�ton and the parkway
area restored with sod and appropriate plantings.
If there are any questions or if we need to discuss this further, please -
call . Also, please let me know when revised plans are submitted.
Thank you.

Re: GNB Batteries, Inc.
Our File No. 431. 1
Dear Chester:
On February 14, 1990, I spoke with Phil Martino, an
executive with GNB Batteries, Inc. , whose corporate
headquarters are located at 1110 Highway 110, Mendota
Heights, Minnesota, (612) 681-5000, regarding the property
identified on the attached Exhibit "A" as parcels D4 and I.
Mr. Martino told me that this property had in fact been for
sale, but because of environmental concerns and problems,
they have canceled the purchase agreement. GNB Batteries,
Inc. apparently has no plans at this time to sell the
property and it is likely they will be moving some office
people into the site on Lexington sometime in the near
future. They d'o not plan to put any production operation
into effect there, but they are considering housing office
personnel at the site. Mr. Martino assured me that as long
as GNB Batteries, Inc. owns the property, the "gentlemen's
agreement" allowing you use of their parking lot at night
in exchange for their being able to use Gabe's parking lot
during the day will continue to exist.
Apparently there is some ingress and egress problems
associated with the property they own north of Gabe's. It
sounds iike it would be difficult to sell that property
without selling the parking lot identified as D4 because of
the ingress and egress requirements.
� �o-�.��9
ZONtNG FILE 16.� "
Mr. Chester Wille

In short, Mr. Martino is not interested in selling any of
the property at this time, but has assured us that the
current parking arrangement will continue for the near
future. Mr. Martino said he would keep my name on file and
if they ever do decide to sell the property, we will be
notified.
I will advise you if I hear anything further from him. If
you have any questions, please fee free to contact me.
