At that time, testimony was offered by Glen Leder, 1589'/� Selby Avenue North, and testimony was taken by the owner, Fred Sande.

Mr. Sande also feels a good rapport with the neighbors has been established. Mr. Strathman asked Mr. Sande if he feels the neighbors no longer object to issuance of a cabazet license. Mr. Sande responded he does not think so, and if there were any problems Cosmic Charlie's would discontinue the license. Mr. Strathman stated any new objections received within the next two weeks will be reported to the Ciry Council along with this report. Mr. Strathman recommended approval of this license.

Gerry Strathman stated this meeting is being held to heaz objections to a license for Fred Sande, doing business as Cosmic Charlie's, 189 Snelling Avenue North. Christine Rozek reported this appiicant is applying for a Cabaret License in addition to a Cigazette and Limited Restaurant License. There are no conditions placed on licenses currently held and no pending adverse acrion. A11 zoning requirements have been met. Ms. Rozek recommends approval. Gwen Leder, 1589'/2 Selby Avenue North, Apartment 12, appeared and stated that she has been a tenant for five years in the complex that faces Cosmic Charlie's outdoor patio (located behind the establishment). The music coming from this establishment has been very loud until early morning hours and the smell of marijuana is present. The Police Department has been called numerous times by tenants. This has been a constant battle for the past five years with the previous owner. Tenants are extremely frusirated and fear the addition of musicians will increase noise levels. Ms. Leder has spoken with the Merriam Park Community Council and the Snelling Selby Business Association about the high no3se levels and nothing has been done to address the issue. Mr. Strathman stated he has received a letter supporting tlus applicarion by Merriam Park Community Council. Ms. Leder responded she is awaze of this and understands that they would like to have a place for people to "hang out." Residents do not haue a problem with this, but being awakened at 2 a.m. by loud music is not a pleasant situation. Mr. Strathman stated he received the foilowing correspondence: Gwen Leder, 1589%s Selby Avenue #12, wrote about loud noise in the early morning; Paul Given, Merriam Park Community Council, 1573 Selby Avenue, Suite 311, wrote the business is building relationships with both resident and business neighbors; Mike O'Rourke, representing property owners at 175-181 North Snelling, wrote tenants have continuing problems with clientele at Cosmic Chazlie's, theft and vandalism has increased, and there is inadequate pazking; Jennifer White, 1583 '/z 5elby Avenue, wrote this is a residential area and there has been an increase in late night noise, loitering, fights, disorderly conduct and being awakened in the middle of night; Mrs. Copper Harding, 1583 %z Seiby Avenue #9, wrote about late night noise, police calls, inadequate parking, and feels this Oo -loq5 COSMIC CF3ARLIB' S, 189 SNELLING AVEN[JE I�iORTH Page 2 license will e�sperate the problem and increase the number of police calls; Renee Obrecht- Como, 1583 Selby Avenue #10, wrote about numerous compiaints by tenants, police calls, after hours noise, swearing and yelling during eazly morning hours; David and Jennifer Patrick, 1589'/z Selby Avenue #I5, wrote about noise, inability to sleep, and fighting; Anonymous tenant, 1589'/z Selby Avenue, wrote about juke box playing at all hours of the night even after closing time, increased trafi"ic, and tenants moving out of the compiex because of the noise caused by Cosmic Charlie's. Fred Sande appeared and presented letters he sent out to surrounding residences and businesses. Mr. Sande stated he was aware Cosmic Chazlie's was a nuisance prior to his tTking over the business. His goal is to make ties with the community, which he did with the Business Association, Merriam Park Community Council, and surrounding businesses. Mr. Sande denies any knowledge of complaints from residents in the surrounding area. Fred Sande Junior appeazed and stated they have expressed their willingness to accommodate any complaints neighbors may have. Fred Sande stated he is hoping to meet with the neighbors to discuss any problems or concerns they may have. He is willing to be reached by cell phone, pager, or home phone to personally respond to any complaints. He is in agreement with the complaints. Loud music at night is unacceptable. The Juke box has been turned down internally so the patrons at Cosmic Charlie's cannot adjust the volume. Mr. Sande states the first change he made to Cosmic Chaziie's was to encourage patrons to move from the front of the buiiding to the inside or to the back patio. Mr. Sande acknowledges they apparently moved the problem from the front of the building to the back. He has proposed shutting down the patio to pacify neighbor complaints and decrease noise levels. Mr. Strathman asked Mr. Sande what his intentions are with the license and what kind of insurance can he give that the Cabaret License will not cause further disturbances. Mr. Sande responded he was reluctant to pursue the license until he noticed the large crowd at Dunn Bros. when musicians and entertainment were provided. He stated lus intention is to promote business. He would like input from neighbors and would like to go ahead with the license. Mr. Strathman proposes continuing the heazing for one month so Mr. Sande and neighbors can get together to reach an accommodation that works for both the business and neighbors. If objections still exist after one month when the hearing reconvenes, they will be addressed. If there are no objections, recommendation of approval could possibly be given. Larry Zangs reported the zoning ordinance covering parking for cabaret vs. restaurants is the same. The zoning adininistrator has to deternune if there has been a change in use requiring additionai parking. There is no additional parking required because the former use was a chiropractic clinic. The change in use from the chiropracfic cluuc to Cosmic Chazlie's, with a Cabaret Licence, is an increase of five off street parking spaces. The code reads a business does not have to provide any additional parking spaces for an increase of five or fewer. pp _�oqS COSMIC CHARLIE'S, 189 SNELLING AVENiJE NORTH Page 3 Fred Sande Junior stated Coswic Charlie's is open until midnight. Saturday and Sunday they aze open until 1:00 a.m. They are wondering if it is unlawful to park on that block currently designated as fifteen minute pazking after 9:00 p.m. Mr. Stratlimau suggested contacting the Police department.
