MINUTE3 OF TI� LEGTSLAT'IVE HEARING
THE R'II,D OIVION, 788 Grand Avenue
Monday, June 21, 1999
Room 330 Courthouse
Crerry Strathman, Izgislative Hearing Officer
STAFF PRESENT: Christine Rozek, License, Inspections, Environmentai Protection (I,IEP)
The meeting was called to order at 4:02 pm.
Thomas Williams, applicant, appeazed.
Gerry Strathman explained that objections were received in writing regarding the issuance of
licenses to Great American Restaurant Company, doing business as The Wild Onion. Mr.
Strathman will make one of three recommendations to the City Council regarding this license
application: 1) approval, 2) approval with conditions, or 3) recommend the matter be sent to an
administrative law judge for a complete hearing with respect to law and fact. The City Council is
the final decision maker in these matters.
Christine Rozek reported this is an application by The Wild Onion to add Thomas Wiiliams' name
to the liquor license, Saint Paul Legisiative Code 409 requires that anyone that has at least a 5%
interest on a liquor license must be named on that license. There will be no change in the types of
licenses held nor in the square footage of the establishment.
Elian Biales, Executive Director of the Summit Hiil Association District 16 Planning Council,
appeazad and stated she does not have any objections; however, she is here to follow through with
some discussion she has had with The Wild Onion throughout the year. In September 1998, the
Zoning and Land Use Committee held a meeting on The Wild Onion's expansion. At that time, the
Summit Hill Association objected to the upgrade. A number of neighbors were concerned about
some of the behavior taking place around The Wild Onion. A follow up meeting was held with The
Wild Onion on 7anuary 26. The Wild Onion management agreed to do some things to alleviate the
circumstances.
What was done, asked Mr. Strathman. Ms. Biales responded the problems were noise in the
neighborhood, people being obviously intoxicated, people going through the pazking lot into the
alley behind the business. The owners said they would do some landscaping and fencing to keep
customers from leaving the pazking lot. The business has started some work on that, but Ms. Biales
is unsure if that has taken caze of the problem. The owners have talked about lowering the music
levei earlier so that people would not be so revved up coming out of the establishment at 1:00 a.m.
They are also trying to do a better job of patroliing their pazking lots to get people into their cars;
however, she is not awaze of anything in particulaz they have done. She has received one oz two
calls since that January meeting, and has encouraged those neighbors to contact the baz owners. It
was suggested that sometimes the owners were not aware of the problems. In one recent case, the
bar owners had followed through on a complaint with an employee pazking in the neighborhood and
being loud when leaving the business.
5�-c�Z a
THE WILD ONION HEARINCT, 788 Grand Avenue, 6-21-99 Page 2
Mr. Strathman read in the record the two letters he received. dne letter is from Debra 7. Asness, 57
Avon Sffeet South #32, who is concerned about the following: patrons making a racket in the
streets, bottles broken, gazbage cans smashed, customers wandering into the side streets and alleys,
the business serving liquor to already intoxicated customers, refuse, fist fights, noise, and parking in
restricted azeas. The other letter is from Catherine Roach, 745 Grand Avenue #305, who is
concerned about the following: distributing liquor to the point of intoxicating clients, scantily clad
women, patrons allowed to smoke cigazs, loud music, patrons using profanity outside the business,
fighting, squealing of ures, defecafing and urinating on properry.
Thomas Williams stated he is the additional applicant to the liquor license. The biggest problem is
when people leave the establishment. At the last meeting with the Summit Hill Association, several
issues were raised. The point of the meeting was to inform The Wild Onion about problems. Now,
there is more one-on-one contact with residents. They have come to a lot of resolutions. Some
words are used loosely such as "obviously intoxicated," but is taken into consideration. As for
pazking, they have contracted with William Mitcheli L,aw School for additional pazking for
employees. A Ms. Chappell who lives on Lincoln contacted the Wild Onion about some issues. It
was either The Wild Onion customers or customers from the establishment down the sireet, that
were coming back at 2:30 a.m. The resident has now said she is satisfied with the result.
Under the city ordinance, stated Mr. Strathman, creating a serious disruption to a significant number
of people in the community is a basis for denying the license if the business is being operated in an
irresponsible way or disrupts the peace of a significant number of people. Although there is no hard
information as to the number being disrupted, it does appear that some activities related to The Wild
Onion aze disrupting some people. Mr. Strathman asked why security is not effective. Mr.
Williams responded they are effective and more have been hired. Security polices the block from
end-to-end. 5ince January, they have been effective in expediting peopie from their own lot and the
surrounding sidewalk and block.
Mr. Strathman asked has he spoken to the letter writers. Mr. Williams responded no. Neither of
them were signed in at the association meeting. The City is not going to license an establishment
that is seliing to people undez 21 yeazs of age or people obviously intoxicated. The Wild Onion has
passed all compliance checks.
Would he be agreeable to a requirement on the license about security being provided in the parking
lot after closing time, asked Mr. Strathman. Mr. Williams responded he would be 100% in favor of
that. Ms. Rozek stated that is not a problem to add to the license, especially since they aze already
doing it.
Gerry Strathman recommended that the license be approved with the condition that security be
provided on the premises at closing to ensure the orderly departure of The Wild dnion customers.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:23 p.m.
