To the I�bnorable I�ayor and Members of the Saint Paul City Cocmcil:
I have been asked to exparess mp opinion as a reaident of the east side
of Saint Paul and pastor of Apostolic Bible �hurch located East of
the city limits but serving families in the �rea of concern.
In general, w�e have sincere feeling that this area of the city is
at present more than adequately aerved with liqt�or establish�ents
and w�ould like to voice ovir objection to another being established.
� l�lembers of our c}�rch located in the area have expressed opposition
' and requested us to make our concerns known to you as a legislativa

. On I�iay b, a member of our Zoning �ommi.ttee was informed by Mr, Bob Haufek
of a request to transfer the License of the Nlinnehaha Tavern. Mr. Haufek
was asked to bring �his matter to the May 9 mesting of the Communi.ty
Council. This he did� and the matter was referred to the Zoning & T�icensing
Committee for f`urther action.
The committee then discussed the options and courses of action that were
possible with the residents. It was decided by the commi.ttee and residents
to set up a fact fi.ndi.ng meeting with Mr. Mueller. The earliest possi.ble
date that could accomodate all the parties was May 22.
The meeting was held with the leadership of t,he residents� members of
the Zoning Committee, and Mr. Nazeller and his attorney present. The
residents were given the opportunity to address their concerns and
I��r. Nfueller and his attorney were given ample opportunity to responde
The members of the Zoning Committee raised a number of points concerning
the construction and operation of the proposed establishment. These
points were thoraughly discussed and it was agreed that if the transfer
was approved by the City Council� these items would be i.ncorporated into
the design and operation of the proposed establishment. A letter was
delivered Tuesday to the License Committee of the City Counc3l outlining
these points in partieular and the meeting in general.
The Zoning �ommittee then advised the Executive Board of the situation.
It reported to the Board that it could not find substantial cause to
recommend den3.al of the license based on the approved General District
Plan or current Zoriing and Licensing ordinance. The Board voted to
�
accept the report of the Zoning Co�ranittee and agree with i.ts conclusion.
Several points, however, must be made perfectly clear to the L`i.ty Council:
1. The Greater East Side Community Co�unci.l demands a more efficient
and responsible noti.fication>system. An 18 day notification
period is just not sufficient.
2. 1'he Greater East Side Community Cauncil is on record in
opposition to the locating of any new liquor licensees on the
�ast Side.
3. We fully support the efforts to lift the Liquor Patrol limits.
1�. The zonir� classifications which allow any type of liquor or
beer licenses must be re-evaluated to prevent this situation
from occurring in our and other districts in the ftii.ture.

Dear Councilman Tedesco,
A change of locati�nn for a liquor establishment was brought to
the attention of the Greater East Side CoTmnunity Council at our May 9th
meeting. It involves building a liquor establishment on the northwest
corner of Minnehaha and White Bear Ave. Previously Minnehaha Tavern
was located on the southeast corner of the intersection. Although the
district did not receive notice of the change throu�h the early notification
system, the matter was discussed and referred to our zoning cotrrtnittee.
On May 22nd the zoning coam►ittee convened a, meeting £or the owners of
the proposed establishment and area residents. Present were four concerned
neighbors , Mr. Miller and his attorney.
�irst let me state that the neighbors with which we have been in contact
are opposed to the liquor establishment at that location. The purpose of the
meeting was to discuss differences and try to reach some agreements st►ould
the business be built. The following items were discussed and agreed upon:
1� Alley lighting and low noise air conditioning would be incorporated
into the design of th� building;
2} the business would be responsible for the maintence of the area,
including regular clean-up of the surrnnding area;
3) snow would be removed from the parking lot; and
4) for safety, a fence would be put up around the constn�ction area.
The meeting was a productive one. We trust your committee will reach
a decision with the best interest of our district in mind.
Sincerely,

r� �va,
ssi.y
Ladiea and Gentlemen of the eouncil:
I wish to thank you for this opportunity to bring the case of the
people to you. . . . . . . . . . . . .
I testified before the licenae committee on Wednesday, May 24, 1978
and explained the concerns of the residents pertaining to the
proposed establishment (Minnehah� Tavern, Inc. )
At this time I would like to introduce new facts and evidence pertaining
to our case that were not available to me at the time of the hearing. . . .
1 . Traffice study of the intersection of White Bear Avenue and
Minnehaha Avenue. This study was made one (1 ) year ago (May, 1977)
13,950 cars per day traveling south on White Bear Avenue from
Minnehaha
�4�375 cars per day traveling north on White Bear Avenue from
Minnehaha
8,725 cars per day traveling on Minnehaha Avenue
37,050 cars per day traveling through the intersection of White Bear
Avenue and Minnehaha Avenue per day.
I want to point out that the figures that I just gave you were compiled
one (1 ) year ago and do not reflect the expected increase of traffic,
with the opening of the Target Store in the fall.
2. I emphasized the fact that the parking situation ia serious
at that intersection. . . . .Council for the applicant pointed
out that the off street parking they propose at the new site
will relieve this situation. . . . .I chellange that statement. . .
The old site shared a parking lot with the ad�acent pizza
resturant and also had off street parking at the gas atation.
After the gas station closed the customers from the bar Would
park a11 over the ��ive_.of the station. . . . .but this atill did
not relieve the conjestion of the intersection. . . .conjes�ion
so bsd that it Was vertually impossible fQr tWO cars meeting
on Minnehaha to pass each other. . . . . I challange the claim •
made by council for the applicant regsrding the 31 off street
parking spaces provided for on the dra�ings produced at the
license committee hearing. I did not see any provisions for
handicapped parking spaces required by law at all new constructions
of business establishments within the Cit� of Saint Paul. In
providing the required 12 foot parking sp�ce near the front
enterance it would require one and one-half of two spaces as
provided on the draWings. Thia �aould cut the available parking
spaces to customers down to 29 with one handicapped parking space
that could only be used by persons with the required permit properly
posted on the interior of the car. Also, in re�ards to this matter,
ne� constructions have to be built in accordance With provisione
for handicapped people as provided for by lew. DepeAding on the
location of the front door of the proposed establishment and the
height of that doorWay, we feel that the building would have to b�
mo�r±ed back farther on the lot to provide the required graded ramp
to the front enterance, eliminating all steps and to keep the
building behind the required five (5) foot set-back froYa the
existing sideWalk. This would require_�nore of the space that
, . �
the applicant is depending upon for parking space. Again I wiah
to point out thet I saW none of the mentioned provisions provided
for on the drawinga that were available at the hearing.
3. I emphasized the fact that the east side of �sint Paul already
has too many bars. . . . . . .This was pointed out to the Qouncil
one year ago When Toppie�s Bar �ranted to build on a location
just four (4) short blocks north of the 7�ocatioaa we are
concerned with today. . . . .That liquor lieense transfer request
was denied. . . . .The east-side of Saint Paul has fifty-three
(53) On-Sale Liquor eatablishments. And I admit that I may
have missed a few in compiling my list. . . . . .There are fourteen
(14) Off-Sale Liquor establishments. And again I may have misaed
a fe�. Four of the on-sale establishments are aithin five blocks
of the area were concerned with.

total enrolment of over 1 ,500 students. . . .many of these children
pass this intersection goin� to and from school. . .Not to mention
the school buases that pass through that intersection. . . . . . . . . .
Minnehaha has tWO nusury-pre-schools. . . . .One of which is located
just one block east of the proposed site
PLAYGROtTNDS. . . . .East View Playgrounds. . . . . . .
Hazel Park Playgrounds. . . . . . .
One year ago, Hazel Park had 925 children registered in their
various activities and 52 ball teams. . . . .The liq�or license that

In closin� I would like to �! point out ta you that
My house will be directl� behind the proposed establishment. . . .on my

street� (one block) we have 3� children under the age of twelve (12) .
This is why We are so eoncerned with the traffic problems that we
alre&d� Z1V6 Wlth• • • • • ' • • • • • •
WE FEEL THAT WE HAVE PRESENTED SUFF�CENT FACTS ��
THAT PROVE TO YOU THAT THIS PROPOSED ESTABLISF�IENT WOULD BE HAZARDOUS
TO TFiE HEALTH, WELFARE, SAFETY AND MORALS OF OUR COMMUNITY. . . .SO THERE
FORE
We the residents of the affected area of the proposed
establishment appeal to you the members of the Saint
Paul City Council to consider a postponement of this
issue and order traffic - safety studiea of the
intersection of White Bear Avenue and Minnehaha

history of this intersection before voting on the

Chairman Levine convened the meeting at 10:15 a.m. , noting that the
purpose of this meeting was to consider the resolution granting the transfer
of the liquor license at 1784 East Minnehaha Avenue to the northwest corner
of the intersection of White Bear Avenue and East Minnehaha Avenue. He called
on Beryl Nord of the City Attorney's Office, who said the Committee could
proceed in the most-expedient way; this would be a legislative meeting.
Councilman Maddox noted that since a lot of people took off work to
attend this hearing, the Committee should make some sort of recommendation
today and pass it on to the �ity Council as a whole.
Councilwoman Hunt said she doesn't remember any time people were
refused to speak as they wanted. She strongly believes that those who
wish to speak be permitted to.
Upon a question by Councilman Hozza, Ms. Nord said it -is her feeling
that a public hearing has been held on this matter but she is not certain
if it was complete.
• ' -2-
� ' � .
Councilman Hozza suggested that the Committee hear f rom City staff and
others who wish to be heard. He pointed out that testimony previously given
need not be repeated. He asked that people be as brief as possible.
Chairman Levine said the procedure for the meeting would be to hear from
the staff first, and then the Committee would be prepared to stay as long as
is necessary to hear people who wish to speak. Since there are only a few who
wish to speak besides the staff, he said all would have an opportunity to give
their views.
Mr. James Bellus , City Planning Office, spoke of the report prepared by
his office, entitled "Effects on Surrounding Area of Adult Entertainment
Businesses in St. Paul". He said this report speaks directly to liquor-
serving establishments on surrounding neighborhoods. The results are
statistical in nature and would have to be termed as circumstantial evidence.
He said it cannot be said that bars cause deterioration. It is important to
understand what was looked at. Two basic items were: residential property
value and crime rates in an area. There were some basic conclusions:
1) location of adult entertainment establishments signify with neighborhood
deterioration and additional deterioration follows adult entertainment
businesses; 2) crime rates relate to adult entertainment businesses. Two
such businesses in an area have more crime than one in an area; 3) further
study is needed on this. It's impossible to separate differences and effects
of a restaurant that serves liquor as opposed to a neighborhood bar or adult
movie theater. This is a weakness of the study. There were cost factors
involved and City Planning attempted to get as much data as possible. In
order to get a more-detailed study, it would cost between $350,000 and
$500,000 to cover staff time, etc.
Councilman Maddox asked if everything was compared together, such as
the Blue Horse as opposed to an adult book store.
Mr. Bellus said that liquor-serving establishments were not done
differently than a neighborhood tavern. He noted that downtown was excluded
from the study.
Councilman Hozza pointed out that a couple of corrections were made in
the report, and wanted to know if this is the final staff report.
��r. Bellus said it is a statistical r�port and changes were needed
because of the hurried nature of this .report. � .
Councilman Hozza asked if the Planning staff would be changing any of
their recommendations and if the Planning Commission will be looking at this.
Mr. Bellus said the Planning Commission is having a briefing on this
for information purposes only.
Upon a question by Council�:oman Hunt, �1r. Bellus said it's a possibility
the Mayor may be making policy recommendations for consideration by the
City Council .
Chairman Levine called on Robert Roettger, Traffic Engineer.
' -3-
, � ,
, �
Mr. Roettger said he�brought a history of traffic volumes on both
White Bear Avenue and Minnehaha. Over the past several years both streets
have been collector and arterial-type streets. The traffic volumes on
Minnehaha since 1971 have remained fairly consistent at about 8900 vehicles
per day. Volumes on White Bear Avenue have increased somewhat from about
11 ,500 per day in 1971 to just less than 14,000 per day in 1977. The
accident history at the intersection of White Bear Avenue and Minnehaha:
1972 = 23 reported collisions
- � 1973 = 17 reported collisions
1974 = 22 reported collisions
1975 = 20 reported collisions
1976 = 11 reported collisions
He said he has no data for i�77 yet.
Chairman Levine said that in 1977 there were 24 accidents there and
for the first 20 weeks of 1978 there have been 12 accidents.
Upon a question by Councilman Hozza, Mr. Roettger said he has seen a
site plan for the proposed facility. �
Co�^�+lman Hozza asked Mr. Roettger's opinion as to whether curb cuts
in this area with regard to traffic would cause more or less conflict,
assuming an equal number of vehicles per day. Mr. Roettger said it would
be better than the present curb cut arrangement.
Councilman Hozza asked for Mr. Roettger's estimate of the vehicle
generation of a gas station vs. an on-sale liquor establishment.
Mr. Roettger said he doesn't have a good handle on what an on-sale
liquor establishment generates. Service stations vary, depending on
whether they sell other merchandise as a�ell ; they can be big generators
of traffic.
Chairman Levine called on Assistant Fire Marshal Dan Norrgran, who
said he takes a neutral position on this regarding the bar. He said there
is some concern about fire problems ; it was a fire problem (gas explosion
and gas leak) that destroyed the bar. In a new building there would be a
lot less fire hazard. Paramedic service could be provided there , and he
sees no problem for the Fire Department. •
Chairman Levine quoted from a letter from Captain Jyrkas of the Police
Department's Traffic and Accident Division stating the new site doesn't
have driveways to White Bear Avenue and should be an improvement aver the
old site.
Councilwoman Rosalie Butler asked at what number on White Bear Avenue
does Minnehaha intersect. She said the Toppie's liquor transfer is relevant
in this matter if it is near enough. She moved to make the Toppie's denial
minutes part of this hearing.
Mr. Roettger said that location was a quarter of a mi7e from the
proposed site.
f�rs. Butler said if the intersecting number is either 600, 700, or 800,
this would be relevant.
, � -4-
Councilman Maddox said he has no objection to this, but questioned
whether Toppie's was a liquor license transfer from out of the neighborhood
into that situation rather than across the street.
Mrs. Butler said the transfer was denied based upon certain evidence.
It is relevant to this because it is almost identical .
Councilman Hozza said he was the person on the City Council who moved
to deny Toppie's. He supports Mrs. Butler's motion to make this matter of
- Toppie's part of the record on this transfer. This further evidence might
be helpful in case this matter ends up in court. He said he supports the
motion with the understanding that he feels the two situations are entirely
different.
� Mr. Ralph Oberg, 2069 East Ivy, said he is a retired Police officer
for St. Paul , and the East Side was his beat. He has lived on the East Side
for 23 years, and pointed out that not once on his beat did he have a trouble
call for the area by the old Minnehaha Tavern.
P�otion by Councilwoman Butler to include testimony from Toppie's
liquor license transfer at 871 4lhite Bear Avenue with this matter. Motion
carried 6-0.
Jayne Lallier, 1716 East Maryland, said she is appearing as the chair
of the Greater East Side Community Council. At its monthly meeting at the
Iowa High-Rise in June, having given the 7 days' meeting notice, there were
130 people in attendance. Nine board members were present. Of the 130
people, 19 persons left the room during the voting since they were not
residents of District 2. 18 people abstained from the vote. Of the 93
voting members , 59 voted to approve the license transfer for Minnehaha Tavern
and 34 were opposed. She said the Greater East Side Community Counci7 could
find no substantial cause to deny this transfer. Eighteen days are not
enough time to get everyone's opinion in the area. She said they fully
support lifting liquor patrol limits. She hopes the Committee wiil
consider this recommendation. • �
Sandra Okeson, �1765 Reaney, said that Milton Gray, attorney for the
applicant, insists that this will be a neighborhood bar. The petition
submitted to the City Council by P1r. Gray was signed by people in almost
every surround community, including Roseville, l�lest Side, Woodbury,
Payne-Arcade, and Highland. She pointed out that these people do not
have to live with that bar. Of the 346 signatures, some signed 2 or 3
times. She said the neighborhood petition that Bob Haufek submitted had �
300 signatures of people living in a 4-block radius of the site. She said
if these bar patrons want Mr. Mueller to have a bar, let him build it in
the communities where the patrons live.
Ronald Altenberg, manager of a 7-11 Store at 275 South McKnight, said
that from February through December of 1977 he was the manager of the 7-11
Store at the southwest corner of White Bear Avenue and ��innehaha. Ne said �
there was an agreement between his store and the old bar that if, at any
time, there were problems for his customers , he could call the bar and the
matter would be taken care of. This was not done, however.
� -5-
, '
Councilman Maddox mentioned the 7-11 Store's problem with traffic
going to the alley rather than the street.
Upon a question by Councilman Hozza, Mr. Altenberg said the 7-11
Store sells 3-2 beer.
Mr. Vern Landreville, President of the Greater St. Paul Area On-Sale
Liquor Dealers Association, said his association supports the approval of
this transfer. They passed a resolution unanimously to this effect at a
meeting of the Board of Directors on June 20, 1978. The Minnehaha Tavern
is a member of his association in good standing.
Mr. Robert Haufek, 1774 Reaney, said his home will back up to the
proposed establishment. He doesn't want to waste time with the same
statistics that have been gc�e over again and again. He wanted to point
out the horrendous traffic Froblems this transfer will cause, in addition
to hurting the health, welfare, and safety of his neighborhood. According
to a Supreme Court decision, discretion of liquor licenses is a basis for
denial . A liquor license is a privileged document, not a right. The East
Side is already saturated with bars. He said that at the June 13 meeting
of the Greater East Side Community Council people who live 22 miles from
the site voted, and he feels it should be decided by people who live in the
immedi��_ vicinity. He said the neighbors have yet to see a revised plan to
include provisions for the handicapped, etc. He questioned how many fires
are in bars rather than gas stations. This bar burned down. He said his
neighborhood submitted an acc�edited petition against this proposal . He said
the former bar existed when he bought his house 3 years ago. If he would
have realized that it could be moved into his back yard, he would not have
bought that house. He accepted it at the time he bought the house, because
it was on the furthest corner from his house.
Mr. Ken Flowers , 2056 East Ivy Avenue, spoke on behalf of the transfer.
He noted he lives 2 or 3 miles away. He goes to this tavern because it's a
family bar and a place he can safely take his wife. As to the parking
problem, he said he's been in the bar when the manager of the 7-11 Store
has called, and an announcement was made on the P.A. system to move the car.
He said the bar is an asset to the neighborhood, and if he hadn't been at
that bar, he would have never been a customer of that 7-11 Store. The bar
will help with taxes, and the City needs all they money they can get.
Mr. Earl Paulson, a realtor with offices on Woodbridge Street in
Roseville, spoke of property values of homes bordering bars. Properties
bordering commercial properties are on the market longer and sell harder.
He also said they sell for less money.
Upon a question by Councilman Hozza, Mr. Paulson said a gas station
closes at 10:00 p.m. He is currently trying to sell a home in that area,
and people are not having any luck since it is a half block away from the site.
Councilman Maddox said it is a state law that gas stations close at
10:00 p.m.
Upon a question by Councilwoman Butler, Mr. Paulson said that property
valua{icns get lower as more commercial is put in a neighborhood.
' � -6-
Jennie Mechtel , 710 White Bear Avenue, said she lives behind the
property and has for the past 17 years. They never had any trouble with
the bar, and the fire that destroyed it was started in the pizza place
with a gas leak. She has raised 4 kids in that neighborhood and they
have not been affected by having a bar nearby. The tavern people never
bothered her family.
Mr. Steven Le Roy, district manager for 7-11 Stores in St. Paul , said
_ they sell approximately $400 worth of beer there a month.
Councilman Hozza said he did not raise the question of 7-11 selling
beer as a conflict of interest.
Upon a question by Councilman Maddox, Mr. Le Roy said it is possible
that people parking in the 7-11 lot could have been customers at the pizza
parlor.
. Helen Carney, 1763 East Minnehaha, said she lives right next door to
the old tavern. In 34 years times have changed. When she moved there, the
owner of the bar was there most of the time. Mr. Mueller is an absentee
owner. On Sundays she has her children and grandchildren over and fears
for their safety. She shudders to think what could happen with even more
cars. A lady offered to buy her house until she found out there was going
to be a tavern there, and then she was told, "No way!" She said she will
have to keep a fence up to protect her grandchildren. She is highly
disappointed in the Greater Ea�st Side Community Council and wonders why
people across from a tavern can't vote.
Joan Hanson, 1762 East Minnehaha, said everyone is forgetting one thing.
With the pizza place on one corner and the tavern on another, that means two
places selling liquor on the same corner. Perhaps the pizza place only sells
beer and wine, but the end result is the same as with liquor.
Milton Gray, attorney representing the applicant, said various factors
_ have come up. He submitted a diagram which depicts the locations of other
on-sale liquor places , churches , and schools. It also contains lines of
lelineation for areas for children; in reference to mileage, going by ordinary
traffic means, the closest place is .56 miles. The official map published by
the School Board has data transmitted to the diagram. Mr. Gray pointed out
that the applicant is not asking for any special permit or variance. He has
made available to the City Council committees alternate site plans . There
will be 27 parking spaces for regular-size cars , and if in the future compact
cars become more prevalent, 31 compacts could park there. This building wi11
be in full compliance with the Zoning Code. , He said all of the evidence with
regard to offenses and crime has been generated out of the block where the
tavern will operate.
Upon a question by Chairman Levine, Mr. Gray said 'r�is letter �f June 21
should be made a part of the record on this matter. Euch member of the City
Council received this letter.
-7- -
Councilwoman Butler asked if parochial schools and day-care centers
are depicted on the map. Mr. Gray said parochial schools may be on there
but day-care centers are not. Councilwoman Butler said there are about
4 parochial schools in the area and several day-care centers. The locations
of those should be made a part of the record.
John Blomquist, a realtor, was asked about real estate valuation. He
said he submitted a letter on this to every member of the Council .
Councilwoman Hunt moved to close the public testimony.
Chairman Levine asked the recommendation for procedure from the City
Attorney's office. '
Councilman Hozza sai� z�er� has been a lot of testirr�ony at the License
Committee level , the City Coun�il meeting on this matter, and today's City
Development Committee, and a report will be sent to the full City Council
for the July 6 consideration of this matter. He feels it would be appropriate
for one person from each side to speak at the meeting on July 6. Perhaps
5 minutes of summation would be appropriate. Then there could be a vote.
Co�ncilman Maddox said if that's a motion, he cannot support it.
Chairman Levine said the final vote will be taken on July 6.
Councilwoman Nunt said that in the past we have had public hearings
and have moved to close public testimony, but that daes not mean that if any
individual member of the City Council cares to question someone, they cannot
do so. But at some point in time, public testimony has to end.
Motion by Councilwoman Butler to have the adult entertainment study
done by the Planning Division made a part of the record. tAotion carried 6-0.
Councilman Maddox said he has a report his office prepared. He
attended the June 13 meeting of the Greater East Side Community Council ,
� and also went to the home of Bob Haufek to get the comments of neighbors
in the immediate vicinity regarding accidents , parking, etc. He moved to
have his report made a part of the record to be presented at the July 6
City Council meeting on this issue. Motion carried 6-0.
Councilwoman Hunt repeated her motion to have public testimony closed
at this point. Motion carried 6-0.
Councilwoman Hunt said this matter came up first before the License
Committee of the former City Council . She was not a member of the former
License Committee. Therefore, when it came before the City Council , there
was very little material presented to people not familiar rrith the situation.
She said she felt very uncomfortable voting on this. The License Committee
had recommended approval of this transfer. She wanted additional information.
She is now a member of the new License Committee and knew difficult decisions
would have to be made. She said she feels we have gotten worthwhile information
� on this matter and the Committee recognizes that this is not an easy decision
to rake. She commended all the people who spoke on this issue. They showed
they k��re concerned and sincere.
' -8-
. ' �
Councilwoman Hunt moved approval of this liquor license transfer, and `
recommended that it be moved on to the City Council for .July 6.
Councilman Maddox noted that at his meeting with the neighbors the
other night, the question of cement trucks' weight on the street showed
effects on the street. He said that perhaps a fence could be erected
immediately behind the bar which would prohibit people from looking into
the back yards. This would give the neighbors more privacy. He asked
- Milton Gray if they would put in that type of installation. Mr. Gray
said it is a meritorious suggestion. There are 7 or 8 conditions attached
and this is one that could be lived with. He doesn't want to promise
anything without consulting his client, but said he will recommend the
fence to his client.
Chairr�an Levine asked about the 12 recommendations listed, and
Councilman Maddox said they are the recommendations of the neighborhood.
Mr. Haufek said these conditions were brought up in case the transfer
was approved. Councilman Maddox told the neighbors not to wait until they
lost to make their demands. �
Councilman Hozza pointed out th�at a number of the restrictions are a
part of the recommendation from the License Committee when they voted for
approval of this transfer.
Mr. Gray agreed, and said that included in the proposal is the clause
that there could be revocation of the license if these conditions are not
met. He said they have no objection to that as long as the applicant can
be heard.
On one point, Councilman Maddox said a responsible owner must take
responsibility for his patrons even when they leave the bar. Mr. Gray said
they will exercise their. very best efforts to keep noise, debris, etc. to
a minimum.
Councilwoman Showalter has lived on Minnehaha Avenue for many years,
and has an Italian restaurant nearby. She said they have not had 30 seconds
of trouble from them in all the years they have lived there. They are a
good neighbor. She said from evidence at today's meeting she doesn't feel
testimony shows anything different would happen at the site.
Councilwoman Butler said that if there is to be summation on July 6,
she doesn't understand why the Committee would be voting today.
Councilman Hozza said that nobody on this Council could be accused of
doing anything improper. If any new evidence comes up before July 6, we
can hear that information at that time.
Councilwoman Hunt said she doesn't think this is an unusual procedure
at all . Her understanding when this was laid over was to get a recommendation
from more than a committee of 3 as the License Committee. This Committee-of-
the-lJhole should be able to make a recommendation today.

Councilwoman Butler said the testimony will remain open in case there's
anything new. .
Councilman Maddox asked if he has a conflict of interest on a liquor
license transfer since he owns a bar.
Chairman Levine said it's his understanding that a conflict of interest
does not arise unless there is direct financial interest. Unless that is a
- condition, Council members do not abstain from the vote.
Councilman hladdox asked for the City Attorney's cfpinion on this.
Beryl Nord said she has done some research on this. In the case she
has studied, it shows that in the absence of direct financial interest, he
would not have a conflict o� interest.
Councilman Maddox announced that he has entered into a contract-for-deed
to sell his bar, thus preventing any future question on this point.
. Chairman Levine said that as Chairman of this Committee, he would like
to indicate his views on this matter. He said that on July 6 any member of
this Committee has a chance to change their vote. He said he will vote "no"
today an� th�ll save his other comments until July 6. He said he wants to
get together with members from both sides regarding the list of restrictions
before July 6.
Councilwoman Butler said her vote would be affected by how well the bar
will follow the restrictions wanted by the neighbors.
Chairman Levine said there are 13 days until July 6. ,
Vote on the motion to recommend approval of the transfer to the full
City Council on July 6: 4-2 in favor, with Butler and Levine opposed.
The meeting adjourned at 12:10 p.m.

Mr. Milton Gray
Midwest Federal Building
St. Paul, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Gray:
In response to your inquiries concerning the traffic situation and
accident experience at E. Minnehaha and White Bear Avenues, I have
examined our records for 1976, 1977 and 1978 with the following results:
In 1976, 15 accidents were reported to the police. In 1977 , 24 acci-
dents were reported and during the first 20 weeks of 1978, 12 accidents
have been reported.
An analysis of 1977 accidents shotaed five personal injury accidents out
of the 24 which occurred injuring 7 persons. Property damage totaled
$8,410 according to police officer estimates. On an average, police
officer estimates run about 50% of the actual costs to damaged property.
By day of the week, the accidents occurred as follows:
Sunday 17.3%
Mid - 0200 hrs = 2 accidents
0800 hrs = 1
1100 hrs = 1
, Monday None
Tuesday 4.3;G 1600 hrs = 1
Wednesday 13.OY 1000 hrs = 1
1500 hrs = 1
2000 hrs = 1
Thursday 30.4% 0800 hrs = 1
• 1000 hrs = 1
noon = 1
` �•,,x°�''i.5.5
- 2 -
�
Friday 13.0% 0800 hrs = 1
noon = 1
1700 hrs = 1
Saturday 21.7.% 0400 hrs = 1
0900hrs � 1
1000 hrs = 1
1500 hrs = 1
2200 hrs = 1
The predominant type of accident was a rear end co llision between two
motor vehicles. The vehicle doing the striking was going straight ahead
overtaking, while the vehicle hit was turning, starting or stopping in
traffic.
It is difficult to determine which of these accidents maybe directly re-
lated to the patrons of any particular business. Investigating officers
indicated two drivers were under the influence of intoxicating beverages.
I indicated to Richard Amey of the Housing and Building Code Enforcement
office that we in this office had no ob�ections to the site plan we saw
locating the proposed tavern on the northwest corner. In comparison with
the former site on the southeast corner, the proposed site is better from
a traffic view point. The dimensions of the site are larger and the ingress
and the egress are served by a single driveway located on Minnehaha Avenue
far enough west of the intersection of Minnehaha and White Bear Avenues to
minimize conflict with intersection traffic. The new site does not have any
driveways on White Bear Avenue and this should be an improvement over the
old site. East PZinnehaha has 8,725 ADTs on Minnehaha Avenue at this point.
The driveway to the old site on the southeast corner entered White Bear
Avenue traffic with a volume of 14,375 ADTs (Average Daily Trips) .
Obviously, the potential for conflict is less on Minnehaha than it is on
White Bear Avenue. This is why this office approved the site plan we re-
ceived from Mr. Amey's office.
Yours truly,
R. H. Rowan

RE: Minnehaha Tavern Liquor License Transfer
Since May 30th and my election to the City Council, one of the many major
City po'i�ies that has been before the Council is the Minnehaha Tavern
license.
Since that time, my office, along with the other Council members, researched,
analyzed, and reviewed a number of issues, concerns and briefs on this
issue.
Through ma.ny phone calls, conversations and visits, I thought some infor-
mation and perspective on the activities of my office might be worthwhile.
Through notification and information, I attended the Greater East Side
Co�unity Council meeting of June 13, 1978, to listen to the legally
recognized planning council openly discuss the transfer and their subsequent
approval. Furthermore, I initiated private visits of hameowners in the
affected neighborhood who had signed neither of the publicly circulated
petitions, pro or con to the transfer for their feel.ings. A general
comment was a hope for adequate parking for the proposed estab2ishment.
On Wednesday, June 2�., I was invited by a large group of neighbors
to a meeting at the home of Bob Haufek, 1774 East Reaney, to listen and
survey the neighbors concerns, problems and positions. Attached is a
summary of their c�mments and subsequent planned action.
Generally, issues raised were those of accidents, parking, absentee
ownership, noise and abusive language and restrictions.

David Hozza -2- June 23, 1978
Furthermore, Friday, June �6, the Department of Planning and Economic
Development released a "Report on Effects on Surrounding Areas of Adult
Entertainment Businesses in St. Paul." To use this report as a complete
and thorough cause-and-effect re�ationship between adult entertainment and
neighborhoods is irresponsible, incomplete and improper in a fair and
hones't analysis of its statistics, input and conclusions. Tn addition,
during this time of three major license Cransfers, the �east thing the
public or any City Council memb�r needs, is an inadequate report that
leaves unjustified conclusions and innuendoes. A1so, it personally
represents to me an irresponsible and incomp�ete governmental repart
that is worthy of a rational an� in-depth research and review.
The report is a possible basis for further analysis, data, categorization,
differentiation and a more extensive and thorough study. An. immediate
shortcoming, which the report states, is that all types of establishments
were clustered together (i.e, the clienteYe and effect of the Lexington.
Restaurant is equa� to that of a dirty book store, br Mr. Anthony's
Restaurant with a dirty movie.)
Secondly, my office, in an attiempt to analyze a relationship of lower
property value, assessed 1971 and 1975 Estimated Market VaZue statistics
of selected properties two blocks bordering and other randam areas of the
intersection of Minnehaha and White Bear. Attached is the report, however,
the conclusion reached is that the va�ue of the predominate number of
properties examined was increased 25 - 34% over a period of four years
and the interpretation is that the neighborhood of White Bear and Minnehaha
is stable and does not have adverse value and deterioration effects from
nearby land uses. �
In summary, as these attachments show and delineate, the issue of the
license transfer should be devated, deliberated and decided in a full
and thorough analysis of the facts.

EMV 1971-1975
The acCompanying map and data sheets indica�e Estimated Market
� Value for the years 1971 (payable 1972) and 1975 (payable 1976)
for selected properties at and near the intersection of White
Bear Avenue and Mfnnehaha Avenue in Saint Paul .
As the map shows, property values examined were for parcels border-
ing Minnehaha and White Bear two blocks in each dtrection from
the intersection.
In addition, parcels in two separate blocks some distance removed from
the intersection were also examined (for purposes of comparison with
those closer to the intersection).
The predominate color on the map is pink. Pink stands for a 25%-
34.9� increase in EMV. In other words , the va]ue of most of the
properties examined increased 25q-34.9q in a period of four years,'
The relatively uniform change in Estimated Market Value during the
period 1971-1975 could be interpreted as reflecting a stable area
not experienc�ing notably adverse effects from any nearby land uses.

The coop�ration given us by the Management r.ag been a positive factor in our
continued esistar_ce in this area.
Becau�e of the advise and assistance given by the Management ca�cPrnir_g the
ogeration of our affairs, many of the members h�.ve bec�rt� custo�ers of the
Minnehaha Tav�rn. �;1e have found �t to �e a trouble frPe bar, one urh�re the wiees
of t}-.� mFmbers could entPr the Mir.r_ehaha Tavern without a maZ� escort and not be
bothered or molested by other customere, this obviously being the policy of the
td�.:za.Fer:P nt.
Because of the trouble fre� enviorr�ment, th� Minnehaha Tavern a�as, in fact�
an asset to the area where families of the nei�hborhood co a?ci. meet.
�'he R�d M�.p:►_e Sportsmaz�s Club wishes to go on record a9 being in favor of�
and recommending the issuir_o o� an;� �Frnits and the transferring of the Minn�haha
Tavern Iieuor license� to the North West cornPr of �. Minnehaha and White Bear Avc.

Dear Council Member,
As a part-time employee of the Minnehaha Tavern I have
teeM followin�r the �proposed license transfer with a great deal
af interest. What should have teen a routine transfer has heen
�lown all out of proportiUn by the nelgh�ors. Half-truths, in-
nuendos, and misrepresentations are flying around this other-
wise quiet neighborhood. I feel compelled to write to you ta
explain the issue as I see it, Essent311y, it all boils dawn
to this: immense political pressure has clouded an otherwfse
righteous license transfer. More interesting than that are the
curious set of ironies that have surfaced relative to the pro-
posed transfer.
Besides being an employee of �he Minnehaha Tavern. T am
a perennial delegate to the City Convention, an active 67B DFL
Clu� member. and a delegate ta the St. Paul Trades and Labor
Assembly. Do I mentior this as a form of political pressure?
2`To, not at all. It?1 leave the politicay pressure to the neigh-
hars who seem to be very good at it. I mention my political
ties merely to let yau know that I am no neophy�e in city po1-:
itics and that I am capable of separating fact from fiction.
Fact one. The Minnehaha Tavern has been located at that
intersection for more than thiry years. Tt has been there long-
er than many of the neighbors have. Because of a fire in the
nei�zhboring establishment� the buildin�t housing the Tavern was
destroyed, The proposal, as you know, is to move the Minnehaha
Tavern across the intersection to a properly zoned lot. Fact
two. There has been no trouble in the past thirty years with
either the neighhors or the patrons that would warrant holding
up this transfer. A check of the police records should verify
that. Fact three. The establishment is owned by a respected
businessman in the community. F�,irthermore� it is managed by
- another man whose reputation is beyond reproach. Not only are
the owner and manager respected in the community, but the Tav-
ern itself is a good corporate citizen. The many golf� soft-
�all, volleyball. bowling� and other teams sponsored by the
Tavern provide a real service to the community. �.irthermore,
I have personally tended bar at two fund raising events for
the Conway Heights Playground that were held at. the Minnehaha
Tavern. Fifty percent of the money taken in at these two events
was donated to buy athletic equipment for the playground teams.
This amounted to more than �400 each time.
This brings me to the curious ironies of this case. First
of all the tiinnehaha has been relatively free of problems with
one eaception---parking. There has never �een adequate off- �
street parking. Ironically. the license transfer to the pra-
posed site will correct this pro�lem by provi.ding off-street
parking according to city code. The crowning irony of this
whole case, however, revolves around the entire issue of the
„ , . • � •
ownership af liqour� licenses. Recent Grand Jury and poli.ce in-
vestlgatians have indicated that there may illegal multiple own_
ership of some licenses and that convicted felons may be involv..
ed. At the Ninnehaha we have a respected owner and mana�ter with -
no other interests in liquor licenses and everything out in the
open. Yet. the City Council hesitates to make the transfer.
In conclusion let me say that the political smokescreen
thrown up by the neighbors is �ust that. They are trying ta get
rid of an establishment that has a legal` right _to be� there a�d
has caused no problems to the health and safety of the community.
reighborhood involvement is great. I support it and I engage in
it myself, However, the fact that neighbors band together on an
issue does not automatically make them right. In this case they
are wrong and the City Council should recognize that. Are my
views biased? Certainly they are. My �ob is at stake, reverthe-
less I think I have looked at the issue ob�ectively and I think
you should do the s�.ne. In a spirit of fairness to all I urge
you to egercise your legal and moral oblS.gation to transfer the
license of the Minneha.ha Tavern to the proposed new location.
I will be contacting you in person or by telephone in the
negt few days to hear your views on this issue.
Sin� cerely yours�

Dear Mr. Gray:
My opinion, hereinafter set out� is rendered at your re-
quest for consideratio:� by the City Council af Saint Paul relat�ve
to the Application of Mir�nehaha Tavern9 Inc. for approval a�d
transfer of its on-sale liquor license from the southeast eorner
of Minnehaha and White Bear Avenue to the northwes� corner of said
avenues.
This opinion relates to the effect on the market values
or resale values of residential properties adjacent to� and near=
the proposed installation.
There has been exhibited to me the proposed site plan and
rendering of the propased entirely new structure depict3ng an
octagonal-shaped portion on. the south and rectangular on the north�
finished in exterior rustic cedar and split-faced concrete block,
being approximately 67 feet north and south and approximately }+U
feet east and west and set on the northeasterly corner of the sub-
ject property.

There i.s presently located on the site a gasoline service
station not in active service� with two curb cuts for ingress
and egress on the west side of White Bear Avenue and two curb cuts
for ingress and egress on the north side of Minnehaha Avenue. The
property is zoned B-2 under the appl3.cable Zoning Ordinance which
permits the use of the existing gasoline station� restaurants�
trade schools� health clubs and reducing salons� food catering� and
the uses permitted in B-1 which include dry cleaning establishments
or pick-up stations� self-service laundries� medical e13.nic, drive-
in postal service� as well as various others.
In my opinion the proposed struc�ure and site plan for the
operation and conduct of an on-sale liquor business will, in effect�
increase the market value and resale value of the adjoining resi-
dential properties as distingu�.shed from a gasoline serviee station
with its attenda.nt high volume of vehicular traffic, gasoline fumes
and elements of risk attendant upon the high volatility of gasoline
and petroleum products� and� singularly� as distinguished from the
heavy volume of vehicular traffic occasioned for uses by self-
service laundries and dry cleaning pick-up or medical clinic.
Based upon the use of the sub�ect property by the present
installation of a gasoline service station� the constant drone of
motors, clanging of tools necessarily required for m3nimum servicing,
uncontrolled heavy acceleration of motors and other undesirable

Mr. Milton Gray �
Attorney at Law -
Peterson, Gray and Sheahan, Ltd.

Dear Mr. Gray:
In accordance with your request, I have considered the situ-
ation concerning the proposed relocation of the on saZe
liquor business known as the Minnehaha Tavern previously
located at the Southeast corner of Minnehaha Avenue and Whitie
Bear Avenue on the east side of St.Paul. . Specifically, you
requested my judgment as to the probable effect upon resi-
dential real estate values in the immediate area by the relo-
� cation of the Minnehaha Tavern to the Northwest corner of
Minnehaha Avenue and White Bear Avenue.
Over a period of several decades, our firm has handled the
sale of many residential properties on the east side of St.Paul,
including. the area near the subject a.ntersection. The Minnehaha
Tavern has been in business in the area for approximately thirty
years. To my knowledge, we have observed no detrimental effect
on residential values nor any market resistance due to the pres-
ence of the Minnehaha Tavern.
' The proposed site for the relocation of the Minnehaha Tavern
is presently occupied by an automobile service station which
I understand is presently out of service. Typically, the
operation of a service station invol.ves continuous in and out
traffic mover�ent, fumes and odors from oil products, noise
due to traffic activity and mechanical work being performed �
and often times a cluttered unsightly physical appearance.
Although I cannot state that the service station on the pro-
posed site has been detrimental to the surrounding residential
community, I believe tha� where the aforementioned character-
istics exist there is potential for a detrimental influence
on the neighborhood property vaLues. Furthermore, as most
people are aware, the economics of the petroleum retailing '
business has changed dramatically over the last. few years.
As a result, many service station facilities which were viable
operations for many years have become uneconomic. Consequently,
. �_,•">.E;,5...:.SEO..;F REALTOR"'

many service stations have become vacant and have physical7.y
deteriorated. In addition, considerable �neertainty exists
as to the nature of the re-use or redevelopment of such
properties. In the case of the proposed site, the present
B-2 zoning classification would permit a var•iety of uses, a
number of which might be offensive to neighbors. However,
the uncertainty as to the future use may cause greater trep-
idation by neighbors and potential residents than the ultimate
use itself. In my judgment, such vacant properties, al.ong
with the attendant uncertainty, do represent a detrimental
influence on neighboring residential properties.
The redevelopment of the existing service station property,
as an on sale liquor facili�y would not be intrcducing a new
land use to the neighborhood since it involves only a re-
location of a nearby previous business. The elimination �
of two curb cuts along White Bear Avenue and a curb cut• along
Minnehaha Avenue should improve traffic flow at the inter-
section. Assuming that the� new building is attractively
designed and quality constructed and that adequate landscapi.ng
:.s provided, there will be a significant visual improvement
to the intersection.
For the above reasons, it is my judgment that the redevelopment
of the Northwest corner of Minnehaha Avenue and White Bear
Avenue as a replacement facility for the Minnehaha Tavern
will not have a negative or detrimental effect on surrounding
residential real estate values. Please be reminded that I
am addressing only the question of probable property valu�s
and no other issues.

Reference is made to the recently decided case of Country
Liquors , Inc. , et al, vs. City Council of City of P�inneapolis , et al,
(April 7, 1978) Minn. , 264 P�a2d 821, wherein the
Supreme Court upheld the lower Court in denying applicant's request
for transfer of license to transferee and to a new location.
Review of the Briefs ana A�pendices revealed the following
factual matters on which the Council had made its decision and on
which the Trial Court �nd Supren�e Court uphela the Council, to-wit:
l. The Application was a request for a transfer of an
off-sale liquor license presently issued to one
Silverman at 2025 N. Washington Avenue to Country
Liquors at 1810 Emerson Avenue North (A-16) ;
2. The proposed location was within 300 feet of the
American Indian Evangelical Church at 1819 Emerson
Avenue North (even though the door to the proposed
facility was rearranged to be beyond the 304 feet}
(A-17) ;
3. A public library was located at 1834 Emerson. Avenue
North (A-18) ;
�. St. Petri ' s Church at 18Q0 Dupont North (A-18) ;
5. Ascension Church, School and Club on Dupont (A-18) ;
6. 3unior High School at 15th and Aldrich Pdorth (A-19) ;
7. Elementary School at 16th and Aldrich North (A-19) ;
8. Eight other off-sale liquor stores serving resi�ents
of the ar.ea (A-20) ;
. . �
9. Abundance of people in the area with alcoholic problems
(A-3) ;
10. A treatment for chemical dependency at Plymouth Youth
Center (A-3) ;
11. A need for a grocery store (A-4, A-5) ;
12. The starting of an Alcoholics Anonymous group in the
area to cope with alcoholism and that the problems in
the neighborhood were related to the use of liquor by
families and youth (A-5) ;
13. A halfway house for Black alcoholics at 1523 Emerson
Avenue North (A-5, A-6) ;
14 . North Side Settlement for trea:tment on druc� addiction
(A-6) ;
15. Financial difficulties of the residents of the area
who would spend their money unwisely instead of
spending it on what they need (A-6) ; and
16. 42 agencies voted unanimously against the license (A-6) .
It is obvious that the proposed location in the Country
Liquor case was one in the heart of a community beset with
alcohol problems, economic problens, drug addiction and ather
social problems that would be detrimental�y affected.
There is no evidence that the area of East l�iinnehaha and
6Vhite Bear Avenue is, or has been, plagued with any of the factors
that may have justified denial in the Country Liquors case. To the
contrary, the cor.imunity in Saint Paul in which the license has
-2-
_ , . . � •
been in operation for 33 years is a creditable representation of
the quality of life that the neighborhood has experienced and in
which the licensee has made a substantial contribution.

Dear Council�an Tedesco, �
A change of locatian for a liquor establishment was brought to .
tne attention of the Greater East Side Conununity Council at our rtay sch
meeting. It involves building a liquor establishmeat on the northwest �
corner of kiinnehaha and kThite Bear �ve. Previously Minnehaha Tavern
was located on the southeast corner of the intersection. Although the
district did not receive notice of the change throu�h tile early notificatian
system, t:�e u�atter was discussed ar�d referred to our zonino corr.�ittee.
On May 22nd the zoning cor,mittee convened a meeting for the owr►ers of
tlte proposed estar�lishment and area residents. Present were four concerned
nei�hbors� , N►r. Miller and his attorney.
.irst Iet me state that the neighbors with which we have been i.n contact
are opposed to the liquor establishment at that location. The gurpose of the
meeting was to discuss �ifferences and try tio reach some agreesents s;�ouid
the business be built. The to�lowi.ng items were discussed and ag;.eed upoa:
. 1� Alley lighting and low noise ai.r conditioning would be i.ncor�orated
into the desi�n of the buildins;
2) the business would be responsible for the maintence of the area,
including regular clean-up of the surranding area;
3) snow would be remaved from the parking lot; and
4} for safety, a fence krould be put up arou�,d the cflnst�ction area.
The meeting was a productive one. We trust your cotrJnittee wi11 reach
a decision with the best interest of our district in mind.

points were thoraughly discussed and it was agreed that if the transfer
s,ras approved by the City Council� these items would be incorporated into
the design and operation of �he proposed establishment. A letter was
delivered 'i'uesday to the 7.3.cense Committee of the City Council ou�lining
these poi.nts in particular asid the meeting in general.
The Zonino Committee then advised the Executive �oard of the situation.

accept the report of the Zonzng Committee and agree with its conclusion.
Several points, however, must be made perfectly clear to the Ci.ty CounciZ:

period is just not sufficiente
2. i�e Greater East Side Comrmuiity Council is on record in
opposition to the locating of ar�y new liquor L-i.censees on the

3. ti1e fla.11y support the efforts to lift the Liquor Patrol limits.
4. The zoni� classifications which allow any type of liquor or
beer licenses must be re-evaluated to prevent this situation
from occurrin� in our and other districts 3n the fliture.

Dea r M r. G ray:
This letter is in response to your request following our meeting in my
c�ffice on June 7, tq73. At the present tir�e the traffic volume on White
Bear Avenue in the vicinity of Minnehaha Avenue is approximately 14,400
vehicles per day. This ts about 1 ,000 per day more than existed three or
four years ago. The volume on Minnehaha Avenue near White Bear Avenue is
just less than g,000 vehicles per day and this is somewhat less than what
existed a few years ago. I anticipate that traffic volumes on White Bear
Avenue will increase by about 500 vehicles per day with the completion of
the Target Store 4JMICFI will be located near White Bear Avenue and Suburban
Avenue. It is my understanding that this store will be open for business
sometime during the fall of 197a. It should be pointed out that the
completion of this store would probably remove a few trips on tJhite Bear
Avenue that naw exist, for example people living south of �linnehaha Avenue
on the East Side frequently use White Bear Avenue when going to the Target
Store in North St. Paul .
The proposal to move the lounge from the southeast corner to. the northwest
corner of the intersection of White Bear Avenue and Minnehaha Avenue in-
cludes a proposal for 31 off-street parking spaces. I feel Chat this
number of spaces can be handled adquately with one driveway. If only one
driveway is provided it would be advisable to have it oriented to Minnehaha
Avenue rather than ►Jhite Qear Avenue since traffic volur�es on Minnehaha
Avenue are less than lJhite Bear Avenue volumes. In addition, we would Tike
to see the driveway located as far from the intersection as possible with
anything over 75 feet or so being desirable.
�U
M � /
.. I � � . �� . .
Mr. Gray -2- June 8, 1978
Since traffic volumes at the intersection of 4lhite Bear Avenue and
Minnehaha Avenue are relatively high we also would recommend that parking
on the street be prohibited adjacent to the proposed site.
Sincerely,
/�-� ���2��,

Robert Haufek, 1774 P.eaney, spoke in opposition to the transfier. He had circulated
a petition in the neignborhood and submi��ed this petition to the committee. The
neighbors are opposed because of a seriaus traffic pra5ler�. He said there have
been 78 reported serious accidents at this intersect�on since 1974. tdith thz

proxirni�y. to a liquor establishment. He had asked the ovrner of �he prop�rty to
_ clean up the site but showed the co►rmittee pictures o► ��inat a bad j ob had b��n done.
Tedesco said he had received a letter in opposition �rom La��iren�e Bailey because��f
parking, traffic and safety.
Dr. Anatole Rabcevich, ou�mer of the clinic at 745 4lhite Bear AvenuJ, cited inadeq�l�te
parking. When he purchased his building it ��las not necessary to �av� adequate ofT-
street parking so his patien�.s use the stree� for parking. He also said the litter .
��lill incr�ase. To his kno�,vledge, no onz is in favor of this bar location.
Helen Carney, 1763 E. Minnenaha, said there ��ras not enough parking_ She lives alone
and tivould be located next door to the proposed bui7ding and ���as frightene�. Sandra
Okeson, 1765 E. Reaney, feared for the safety o-� her three children. She also said
there ���as a lack of adequate parking. Diana Soderbeck, 1835 E. t�tinnehaRa, said she
has sr;all children and did not ��an� them to pick up the had language used by bar
patrons. Patricia Steele, 1744 E. P�linnehaha, said her three cnildr-en have tc�
t��aik across the stree-� to go to school . She said there is enaug� �trafTic congestion
���ith th� 7-11 store and Cemstone's trucks. Ted Schultz, 1757 E. �Sinnehaha, c•�as
opposed because of parking and noise from air conditioning equipm�n� on thn roof
of the buildin,g.
P-1i 1 ton Gray, attorney far A1 h1u�i 1 er the appl i cant, said he and t�iu�71 er had tret
wi th some of the nei gf�bors and peopl e fro�n the Di s�ri ct Coun�i 1 . He tf�ought a1 I the
opposition h�d dir;inished because of agreemen�s reached at tF�� meeting. His clie�t
realized that some of the concerns Hrere valid. He pointed a::�� tha� his client had his
A , � � �
license previous1y kittycarner from thit location. Because of a recent fire, his
client could not rebuild on that space because �hey ti�rould not be able ta mee�� the
code regarding parking spaces. Rebutting some of the testimany, Gray said Hau-ceic
spoke of parking in front of his home and this r��as caused by patients at thz clinic.
He sho�rtzd the committee the site plan sdhicn has parking for 31 cars. The ingress
and egress to the lot ti�rill not be on 4lhite Bear Avenue.
The followwing points were raised at the meeting and his c7-ient agr�zd to these -
• conditions:
(1 ) Keep the property clear of beer cans and glass. His cli�nt 1�rou�d also assume tf�e
responsibility o�f removing de5ris from nearoy la��m s and residences.
{2) Parking lights and fixtures ���ould be subtle in natu•re.
(3} There �,�ould be no o�fensive noise from the interior o�f the property.
(4) Every e�ffort ti{�ould be made to have the patrons park in the lo�.
(5) Ai.r conditioning. equipmen�t ti•�o:ild be silenced to tF�z utrr,ost oi r�chanical a5ility.

clinic, he said s��nen the building t��as built there t•rere n�� restrictions an p�rking.
Na said a�ter 5 p.m. , ��rhen the clinic closes, he is not b�therect by peo�le parninq
in front af his hom?. f��ost of th� questions t•rer2 raised by a mzr��er of the Planning
Council . Although the neigfzbors ���ould go along ti�ri�h the stipulations the, s`i11
obj�cted to the reloc�tion of the license.
Bu�7�r sai�d her office received a numbe•r of calls objeci.ing to the tavern, She
� inquired about a com�rehensive plan far �he neig��bo•rhood. Sh� aiso nated a study
that Hozza had brought in a �,Inile back about the detrimental affec� of a liquor;��
establishment on a neighborhood. She ti•aould like a comprzhensive study done on
tne traffic patterns, etc.
Sylvester said �i� tivould be easy to vote agains� this transrer because o� np��h�or�oo�
concerns; howev�r, he found it difficult to c�eny tne license. There t•rould have to
be a record oT evidence to vote against tne transfer. Th° zoning is propzr for the
facility. Carche�i said the plans had been approved by the Seailding Department.
The Police have no recard ayainst Niueller. There is n� hidden or rultiple o,vn?rship
involved. The committee discussed the physical layout of the p;evious building anct
the parking. Hozza said ther� u�tould be less curb cuts tvith this n��:� building than therE
ti�rere ti�ii th the gas stati on. Tedesco sai d P-1ue11 zr i s a man of i r�tegrz ty but based
on the neighbarhood opposition he �•rould not support the transfer.
Butler questioned Carchedi on procedures he uses to inves�igate multiply a;,nership_
He accepts thz app7ication, talks to the a�plican�, gets financial reports and
then consults with the city attorney. He has the police ch��.k an the app�icant.
If all appears to be above board he accep�s what has been stia��ed in th? application.
Ne then comes to the License CoMnittee for approval . He also as!cs about the method
of payment. Carchedi checks on notes and sec.urity agre�ren�s. In man;/ instances
if an applicant comes in and Carchedi is suspect he expl�ins to the ap�t►cant
it tivould probably be denied and they then with�ra�•r. Carch�di keeps a file an a7i
licensees and the only no�ice in P�fueller's file is that in February of 1975 he
►�ras told he 4rould need an entertainmeni license if h� �vas going to have Rusic. .

President Sylvester noted that this rsatter has also been heard by the License Contcnitt�
Mr. Haufek, 1774 Reaney, said he has new facts that were not available at the time
of the hearing. He referred to traffic statistics and said I3,950 vehicles travel
south on White Bear Ave, from Minnehaha, 14,375 vehicles travel north on White $ear '
from Minnehaha, and 8,725 travel on Minnehaha. He said the parking situation �
is serious at the intersection and he challenges the fact that the new location will �
solye parking. He said there is no provision for handicapped parking and a revision '�
would cause a change in bui.lding plans. He said there are too many bars on the j
East Side and one has r ec entl y been turned down in the area. He referred ta the ;
June 8th hearing concerning Toppies Bar and to remarks r::ade by Councilmart Hozza �
and a motion and Councilman Hozza said thi.s is not a new Liquor license but a �
corner to corner transfer and he thinks the parking will be improved by. taking acsay ,
the gas station. j
Mr. Haufek referred to schools in the area and the number of children �nd buses i
passing the intersection and he asked for a postpcnemer,t of the issue with neu �
. traffic safety studies to be made of the area. He submitted letters and p�titions
in opposition to the proposal. �

the requirements and the issue is the new zoning ordinance which' recognizes this
type of business in ,a B-2 District. Hz submitted and explained traffic figures
received from City agencies and he said there would be no ingress or egress fro�
White Bear Ave. He said he has advised his client that denial of the application
would be an abuse of the disgression of the Coun_ciI and he filed letters in j
support of the application. �
CouncilvroTan Butler moved that more study is needed on the impact to the neighborfiooe
traffic statistics and the effect on propexty values and she also referred t� the
establishment of a wine and beer operation on the other corner. She moved that
th� natter be re�erred to the City Development Committee to get th�se facts.
CouneiYman Hozza said he thinks the facts in tine will be no different than what � �
we have now and we are actual.ly lawering the density 2nd not to act puts the area
in Jeopardy. He said there is nothing to stop the owner of the property fzom'
putting in a high volume traffic proposal.

Councilwoman Hunt said she will support the motion but thinks the matter could be
resolved today and the Council needs guidelines in granting liquor license applicatic�
in the future. �
Councilman Levine said he will support the motion and he thinks the number of
establishments on the East- Side is out of proportion with the rest of the City. (
Council�an Roedler said he will not support the motion and he thinks the traffic �
figures are speculative and the facts won't change.
President Sylvester said the facts are available today and the time is right for
a decision.'
Councilwoman Hunt suggested a date certain for decision, and Mr. Byrne, Assistant

� 1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Division of Planning spent over a year designing and
and carrying out a cost-effective study of the impacts
adult entertainment businesses have on their surrounding
- environments.
The State of Minnesota, through the Crime Control Planning
Board' s Community Crime Prevention Project, has partici-
pated in this effort� and given �he Division valuable
technical assistance. This report presents the results
and background of tMe joint study as well as recor�nenda-
tions for action based upon the study.
Section 2.0 summarizes the results, states conclusions,
and makes recommendations. Section 3.0 gives the history
of study design development. Section 4.0 discusses the
data used, and Section 5.0 eontains reference material.
Section 6.0 is the technical report prepared by the
Community Crime Prevention Project staff.

, 2.0 SUMMARY
. � .
2.1 STUDY RESULTS The results of the study are quite clear. Given the
measures of neighborhood condition chosen (crime rate
and value of housing), the presence of adult entertain-
ment establishments corrQlates statistically with poor
neighborhood condition.�
Furthermore, adult entertainment businesses (defined as
any alcohol-serving establishment, as well as adult book-
stores, adult movie theaters , and saunas/massage parlors)
tend both to 1ocate in areas of poo'rer residential
candition and to be followed by a relative worsening
of the residential condition.
Thirdly, the results of the statistical tests indicate
that there is a threshold effect associated with adult
entertainment businesses. This means that one or even
two adult entertainment businesses in an area might not
be associated with noticeable change.
However, more than two adult entertainment businesses :
ir� an area is associated with a statistically significant
decrease in residential property value.
Likewise, more than one adult entertainment business in
an area is associated with a statistically significant
increase in crime rate.
finally, results of the study are not applicable to
downtown Saint Paul. This is because downtown is
not a typical neighborhood.
2.2 CONCLUSIONS WHICH Before stating the conclusions which may be drawn from
MAY BE DRAWN FROM THE the study, the studv itself - shortcomings as well as
STUDY strengths .- should b� clearly understood. An under-_
standing of the study design provides a context for the
conclusions and recommend�tions.
1 As review of the tabular data in Section 5.0 will
indicate, the linear correlations are statistically
significant but not strong. The indepsndent vari�hles
typically account for 20%-30� of the variance in the -
dependent variable. How�ver, as later tests show, the
relationship between neighborhood condition and presence
of adult entertainment business is not linear. This
implies the 20°�-30% explanation of variance is a con-
servative estimate of the strength of the relationship
between the dependent and independent variables.
2 6/13/78
•
The first point to keep in mind is that all results of
the study are statistical in nature. The study design
is such that a cause-effect relationship between adult
� entertainment businesses and neighborhood deterioration
cannot be proven. However, the statistical correlations
do provide circumstantial evidence of such a relationship.
Secondly, the term "adult entertainment 'establishments
(or businesses)" should be fully understood. This term
includes all businesses in Saint Paul possessing a liquor
or 3.2 beer license during the study period (1970-1976)
as well as all sexually-oriented private clubs, adult
bookstores, adult theaters and saunas/massage parlors
known to have operated during the study period.
This point requires some further elaboration. While there
are a large number of liquor and 3.2 beer licenses in
Saint Paul , there are many fewer adult �ookstores and movie
theaters, saunas/massage parlors, and sexually-oriented
taverns and clubs in the city. Furthermore, sexually-
oriented adult entertainment businesses often tend to
locate near to bars. The effects of sexually-oriented
businesses on surrounding environment are lost in the
overall impact which the group of adult entertainment
establishments has. As a result, no significant cor-
relations were obtained for the sexually-oriented adult
entertainment businesses as a category by itself. There-
fore, no conclusions can be drawn from this study
specifically address�ng sexually-oriented adult entertain-
ment businesses. As rrill be.seen in the next section, one
of the recommendations is for further study in this regard.
Nowever, such a study probably would have to involve one
_� or more additional municipalities in order to obtain a
large enough number of sexually-oriented businesses for
statistically significant conclusions distinct from con-
clusions on adult entertainment businesses generally.
A third point relates to the measures of neighborhood
condition. The measures chosen were crime rate and
residential property value, two basic aspects of relative
quality of life. However, residential property value �n�
crime rate obviously do not describe everyth#ng �bouL an
area. Nor do these two measures necessarily reflect with
equivalent sensitivity or rapidity changes in land use in
an area. An area's residential property value, for example,
usually changes slowly relative to other areas of the city.
However, crime rate (at least for certain categories �f
• crime) may register a much more rapid response to, for
example, opening of a bar in a neighborhood.
3 6/13/78
�
Obviously, it would be highly desirable to incorporate in
the study design more variables relating to neighborhaod
condition. These kinds of ineasures are often difficult to
define theoretically. More to the point, they are often
costly to develop data for. One of the chief reasons for
choosing crime and residential property value as measures
of neighborhood condition was simply availability of data.
The fourth and final aspect of the study design to bear in
mind when reading the conclusions below relates to the con-
cept of "neighborhood." The objective of this study was
to find out what, if anything, bars, massage parlars, porno
bookstores, etc. , do to the neighborhoods in which w� �zve
in Saint Paul .
Unfortunately, data are not collected and kept by neighbor-
hood. However, for this study we were able to find usable
data at the census tract level or convert data kept on some
other geographic reference (e.g. , police grid) to census
tract reference. This is discussed more fully in following
sections. Please bear in mind, though, that throughout
this Study the geographic base used in the census tract,
despite frequent reference to neighborhood or area.
With these cautions stated, the conclusions to be drawn
from the study follow directly from the study results.
CONCLUSIQN 1 : The location of alcohol-serving establish-
ments correlates significantly (statistically speaking)
with neighborhood deterioration, as measured.
CONCLUSION 2: Alcohol-serving establishments tend to
i:,cate in somewhat deteriot~ated areas.
CONCLUSION 3: Additional relative deterioration of an
area follows location of an alcohol-serving business in
the area.
CONCLUSION 4: Crfine rates relate to establishment af
adult entertainment businesses in a threshold fashion.
There is a significantly higher crime rate associated with
two such businesses in an area than is associated with
only one adult entertainment business.
CONCLUSION 5: Housing value also relates to establishment
of adult entertainment businesses in a threshold fashion.
There is significantly lower value associated with three
such businesses in an area than is associated with one or
two adult entertainment businesses.
4 6/13/78
'
CONCLUSION 6: Further study is needed to differentiate
the effects on neighborhoods of various categories of
alcohol-serving businesses. For example, it is possible
� that a business whose principal service is as a restau-
rant - but has a liquor license - has a different impact
upon a neighborhood than a sexually-oriented bar. Further
study is also needed to determine the distance over which
these effects are operative.
. RECOMMEND S ase on t e conc usions rawn �n t e prece 1ng section
BASED ON CONCLUSIONS (2.2) and on the study results described in the section
before that (2.1), the study staff makes the fo?lewing
recommendations :
.3. RECOMMENDATION : AN ORDINANCE
Since study results show a deterioration thres�old effect
at the census tract level , City Council should consider
requesting that the City Attorney's office draw up an
ordinance for Council enaetment which limits the number
of adult entertainment licenses which may locate in a .
given area,or at least relates concentration of 1icenses
to a variable license fee schedule.
Purpose of the ordinance would be to discourage threshold
concentrations of alcohol-serving establishments or, at
minimum, to compensate the public through a fee schedule
for the demonstrated threshold impacts of geographical
concentration of alcahol licenses.
An ordinance of this type could, for ex�mple, put 3.'L
_ - beer and liquor license fees on a sliding scale based on
distances from other licenses. In this type of ordinance,
highest fee should be set for licenses to be located
imnediately adjacent to two present licenses, with fees
diminishing as distance from the midpoint between the
two nearest present licenses increases. Fee would con-
tinue to decrease until a base fee was reached at a
distance of 5000 feet from the two nearest licenses.2
Downtown Saint Paul would be excluded from such an
ordinance.
Since t e e ects demonstrated in this study are at
the census tract level , the fee schedule would probably
need to tie back to that geographi� scale. Census tracts
vary in area, the average being about 0.73 sq. mi. The
maximum acceptable threshold nuRiber of alcohoi-serving
5 � 6/13/78
.
2.3.2 RECOMMENDATION 2: AN ORDINANCE
City Council should consider requesting that the City
Attorney's office develop a proposed ordinance for Council
enactment which would establish a 3,2 beer and liquor
license-free zone around the perimeter of Saint Paul in
areas where the Mississippi River is not the municipal
boundary. � - .
Purpose of the ordinance would be to protect, insofar as
possible, neighborhoods on Saint Paul 's periphery from
the deterioration threshold effects of potential alcohol-
serving developments in .bordering jurisdictions.
Alternatively, agreements could be drawn up with adjoining
municipalities to ensure alcohol license distance sepa-
ratians adequate to protect Saint Pau1 rAsidential areas.
. .3 RECOMMEND N : FURTNER D
The Department of Planning and Economic Development, with
assistance from the State af Minnesota Community Crime
Prevention Project, should determine if there is a statisti-
cal relationship over time between categories of adult
entertainment establishments and relevant indicators of
neighborhood condition in Saint paul (for example, resi-
dential property value and crime rate). Categories should
be devised with assistance of the City License Inspector.
If a significant relationship is found, a license category
- s;;stem should b� deweloped by� the City Attorney's, office
for enactment by City Council as an ordinance. Furpose
of the categorization of alcoh�l-serving licenses would
be to relate the distance-separation suggested in
Recommendation 1 to the degree of negative impact each
� category of license has on surrounding area. Greater
-separations - or higher license fees for concentration of
businesses in the same category - would be required of
those categories with greater negative impact.
establishments within that area is two. They may be at
any distance from each other, but a third liquor-serving
establishment should be one census tract average diameter
removed from the combined effects of the two present
licenses, about 5000 feet. Far calculation purposes, the
poin� of combined effect of the two present licenses would
be the midpoint of a straight line connecting them. Please
note, this calculation would not be used to define an
acceptable location, only to determine the license fee
associated with a proposed location.
6 6/13/78
The categorization could incorporate a sliding distance
fee schedule, with base fees proportioned according to
. each category's statis�ical relationship over time to
indicators of neighborhood condition in Saint Paul. The
- base fees would increase as distance between licenses in
the same category decreases, as discussed in Recommendation
1. Downtown Saint Paul would be excluded from such an
ordinance.
(As was noted earlier, this study would probably have to
include data from several municipalities in order to Qbtain
enough individuals in each category for statis�ical pur-
poses. The Community Crime Prevention Project would bQ
the appropriate coordinating agent for this type of multi-
jurisdictional study).
2.3.4 RECOMMENDATION 4: FURTHER STUDY
Th� Department of Planning and Economic Development should
determine the methodology, feasibility and cost of a study
which would determine the deterioration threshold concen-
trations for each category (see Re�ommendation 3) of adult
entertainment business.
Purpose of the study would be to determine for various
eategories of adult entertainment businesses the number
of such businesses that can be tolerated in a neighbor-
hood without marked statistical impact and the distances
over which such impacts a�e operative.
(This sort of a study was originally proposed by the
Plar.ning Division, �ut was deferred due to cost. Develop-
ment of data at the address scale - which is what would
. be needed for the type of study recomnended - could be
extremely costly ta the city were Saint Paul to undertake
it alone. Again, participation by the Community Crimz
� Prevention Project and its resources would be very
desirable.)

' 3.0 HISTORY
.
This study received its initial impetus from City Council
in February 1977, with adoption of a resolution (CF 26844)
requesting the Mayor to ensure inclusion of an adult
entertainment study in the City Planning work program.
A subsequent resolution (CF 268926) further specified
the nature of the study.
Initially, City P]anning responded with a relatively
� simple amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. The ordinance
would have regulated adult entertainment businesses by
establishing minimurn distances separating such businesses
from residential or otMer sensitive areas.
The City Attorney's office was not camfortable with this
approach, indicating that a study, offering a "factual
basis" for an ordinance, should be developed. According-
ly, a first and quite preliminary draft study was sent to
the Mayor's office on July 5. After review of this report,
entitled "Adult Entertainment Land Uses in Saint Paul"
(not published) , members of the Mayor's staff offered
suggestions for further elaboration and improvement.
About this time, Mr. Douglas Frisbie was invited to sit in
on a discussion of the City Planning Office study. Frisbie
is Director o-` �the Community Crime Prevention Project of
the Crime Control Planning Board, a federally-funded state
agency. Frisbie's group had just published "Crime in
Minneapolis", which Planning staff had reviewed.
Out of this meeting, a tentative working rela�ionship was
established .5etween the Comrrunit.y Crime Prevention Proj�ct
(CCPP) and City Planning. Frisbie's first assistance was
to review City Planning's new study design for an adult
entertainment report. The new study design was based on
the suggestions from the Mayor's office staff. It was
quite thorough and, for that reason, quite costly. � Because
of the cost, City Planning was asked to scale back the
study.
In the meantime, Frisbie had outlined what he felt might
be relevant questions to address were his group to bz
involved in such a study. After receiving the City Planning
study design, Frisbie reviewed, revised, and detailed his
staff's thoughts and in October agreed to be a participant
in the study. Working with City Planning staff, he pro-
posed on November 1 a tentative design incorporating City
Planning' s objectives but in a more limited, less costly
study. It was reviewed, revised, and transmitted to ici�e
Mayor's office for approval. In December a join�i: work
program was agreed upon and the collection of data began.
8 6/13/78
4.0 DISCUSSION OF DATA AND STUDY DESIGN
The following subsections briefly describe the data and
the way they were used. Basically, the study set out
to do three things:
1.Determine whether there was a statistically significant
correlation in 1970 between neighborhood deterioration
and location of adult entertainment businesses (there was);
determine the same for 1976 (again, there was a statisti-
cally significant correlation).
�.Determine whether these relationships continued even
after taking into account certain market factors (relative
desirability of comnercial rental property as indexed by
age of residential property.) and legal factors (zoning and
the church/school/fairgrounds distance laws) . The cor-
relations between the location of adult entertainment
businesses and neighborhood deterioration were statistically
significant even after taking these factors into account.
3.Determine what preceded what, that is, whether adult
entertainment businesses locate� in deteriorated neigh-
borhoods (they do) , or whether deterioration occurs after
an adult entertainment business locates in a neighborhood
. (it does) . Both situations are true, but there is a
stronger correlation with deterioration after establish-
ment of an adult entertainment business than before. This
indicates that neighborhood deterioration, as measured,
tends to follow the opening of an adult entertainment
business.
W�th this d3scovpry, the staff �f CCPP pos�� an additional
question not part of the original study design. They
_ wanted to know, is the relationship between neighborhood
deterioration and the establishment of adult entertainment
businesses linear? On its face, this question does not
seem particularly important, but it is. It is the
technical way of asking the question, "How many adult
entertainment businesses can an area tolerate before quality
of life takes a drop?° Keeping in mind that the m�asure
of area or neighborhood used was the census tract, the
answer is one (if the indicator looked at is cri��} or two
(if the indicator looked at is residential housing value.)
The relationship between deterioration and number of
adult entertainment businesses in a census tract is not linear,
3 The average census tract in Saint Raul is about 0.7
ofi a square mile. They vary irr�nensely, however, because
they are drawn according to population, not area.
9 6/13/78
but is represented best by a threshold. Up to the thres-
hold number of adult entertainment businesses in a census �
tract, the measures indicate relatively little deteriora-
tion. Beyond the threshold number of adult entertainment
businesses in a census tract, deterioration is substantially
higher. Tables E-2 and E-5 on pages 34 and 37, respectively,
in Section 6.0 and Appendix F on page 39, Section 6.0,
demonstrate this situation for all alcohol-serving estab-
lishments (there was no statistically significant
relationship demonstrated with. respect to sexually-oriented
adult entertainment.businesses. See Tables E-3 and E-6,
pages 35 and 38, respectively, Section 6.0).
. 9 0 ENSUS DATA Two census items were use . T e f�rst was owners s
ITEMS estimate of value of the single-family home in which he
lived. The data are available by eensus tract as given
in Table H-1 , "Occupancy, Utilization and Financial
Characteristics af Housing Units: 1970." As a check on
the reliability of this data, the Division of Plarning
compared a calculated mean value (not median) for Saint
Paul from this table with the mean sales price for all
single family houses sold in Saint Paul in 1970 through
the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The census mean was
$20,404, the MLS mean $20,589, suggesting that the census
data probably are sound. Since MLS data is not kept by
census tract, however, it was not possible to make other
than a citywide comparison. .
The other census item used was year of structure con-
struction from Table H-2, "Structural Equipment and
Financial Characteristics of Housing Units: 1970."
From this was determined age of housing by census tract.
This item was added to the regression formulae as a proxy
for rental rate of commercial space in the census tract.
The assumption was that adult entertainment businesses
_ tend to locate in low-rent commercial space. Unfortunately,
commercial rental rates by census tract are data items not
available in any census. Rather than go through the ex-
pense of a survey, age of housing was picked as a stand-in
variable. The logic is that commercial structures in a
census tract were probably constructed about the same time
as surrounding housing; further, that rer,tal rate is cor-
related with age of structure. Realtors might take issue
with this reasoning, pointing out that three factors
determine market rent for commercial structares: Location,
location, and location. From the results of the regression
tests, it would appear that age of housing may not have .
been a good stand-in for rental value of commercial
structure since it correlated poorly with location of
adult entertainment establishments. On the other hand,
of course, the initial reasoning linking cor�nercial rental
rate and loeation of adult entertai�ment establishments
may simply have been faulty.
10 6/13/78
4.2 SAINT PAUL OLICE Crime statistics burglary, larcency, robbery, aggravated
' DEPARTMENT DATA assault, rape and auto theft) from the Saint Paul Police
Department (SPPD) were the basis for one of the two
measures chosen to represent quality of residential area
and change in that quality (the other was hausing value).
1970 SPPD statistics were not available in a form usable
for the study, so 1971 information was used. These data
and the comparable 1976 data consisted of actual offenses
(not runs) recorded by police grid. Since police grids
do not correspond to census tracts in Saint Paul , the grid
data were converted to census tracts. Data from grids
split by tract boundaries were proportioned to the appr� -
priate tracts on the basis of land area. No analyses by
type of crime were performed. .
SPPD crime statistics are subject to the same weaknesses
found in any crime statistics. These are weaknesses of
geographic organization and under-reporting, to name two
which could have posed problems for this study. The
geographic organization of police grids was addressed in
the study. Under-reporting cannot be addressed effective-
ly. If the assumption is made that under=reporting in
1971 occurred at the same level of frequency as in 1976 and
was uniform across all census tracts, then the data for the
two years should be comparable enough for purposes of this
study.
4.3 STATE OF MINNESOTA As was stated in subsection 4.1 , one of the census items
DAT.A used for the study vias hoi��i�g value of single-family
houses. Since no census has been taken since 1970, a
_ source for eomparable data for 1976 had to be found.
There were two possibilities: the Multiple Lis�ing Service
(MLS) and the Minnesota State Department of Revenue. Be-
� . • cause of ease of accessibility and cost involved, the state
� information was used.
The Local Government Aids and Analysis Division (LGAA) of
the Department of Revenue is responsible for developing
an annual sales-assessment ratio study as a basis f�r
state equalization of municipal and co��rt�� a�sessed valu-
ations. These equalized valuations, in turn, are one
factor incorporated into calculation of state aid
to school districts. The LGAA study compares actual arm's
length, fair market sales prices of p roperties by class
with assessed valuations of similar properties.
Of interest for this report were data on residences (up to,
but not including, four living units) sold in 1976.
11 6/13/78
These sales prices were listed by plat and parcel number,
which were converted to address and tagged with the
appropriate census tract numbers. A census tract median
was then calculated for inclusion in the regression
formulae.
4.4 ZONING INFORMATION A fourth data item used in the regression formulae was
net front footage by census tract of zones in which
alcohol-serving licenses were allowed.
To get net front footage, the total front footage of
alcohol-permissible zoning was reduced by the amount of
front footage falling into the church/school/fairgrounds
separation boundaries (see Section 5.0). Taken together,
these factors constituted the major legal land use
influences on location of adult entertainment husiness.
Please note that the Zoning Ordinance classifications
used for calculating front footage were those of the
old Zoning Ordinance. The present City of Saint Paul
Zoning Ordinance was enacted in October 1975. Almost
any influence of zoning of location of adult entertain-
ment establishments during the study period would be
attributable to the old ordinance.
4.5 LICENSE INFORMATION The Licensing Division of the Sairrt Paul Department of
Comnunity Services was extremely helpful in a number of
ways. First, staff inembers of the Division provided
in��=�rmatio,� conc.erning lc�«tion of liguor and tavern
licenses in 1970 and 1976. Secondly, they were of .
� assistance (as was the Vice unit of the Saint Paul
Police Department) in determining which of the tavern
licenses had been used for sexually-oriented entertain-
ment during the course of the study period. Thirdly,
they were able to assist in tracking the iocations of
private clubs, saunas/massage parlors, adult theaters
and bookstores, and "rap parlors" during the study
period (again, the Vice unit was invaluable in this
regard). Insofar as possible, this informat�or was
corroborated with listings in R. L. Polic's "City
Directory."

5.0 LEGAL RES7RICTIONS ON LOCATION
� OF ALCOHOL-SERVING ES7ABLISHMENTS
This section surrmarizes the locational restrictions
placed on establishment in Saint Paul of an alcohol-
� serving �usiness. They are: Zoning, Licensing
Restrictions and Liquor Patrol Limits.
5.1 ZONING Un er the o d Zoning Ordinance, a coho -serving
businesses could locate in the Commercial and Industrial
Districts.
These districts were principally located along major
streets in Saint Paul and downtown.
Zoning, then, tended to restrict the location of bars to
fairly heavily-traveled streets.
5.2 LICENSING In addition to zoning requirements, licensing further
RESTRICTIONS limits where liquor may be sold. Bars are required to be
located away from colleges, churches, schools and the
State Fairgrounds, as shown below:
Land use cate, oc�ry Distance Citation

5.3 LIQUOR PATROL LIMITS In 1885 Saint Paul expan ed to include the railroad
suburbs of Merriam Park and Saint Anthony Park in Rose
Township. The sale of liquor was prohibited in these
communities. The annexation provided that part of this
area would continue to be dry. The territory annexed by
Chap. 281 , Laws of 1885, in which no strong liquor or
wine could be sold was as follows :
°Starting at the corner of St. Clair and Cretin, east on
St. Clair to Snelling, north on Snelling to Como West,
the west on a line with Como as it leaves Snelling to the
westerly city limits, then south along city limits to
Myrtle Avenue, east on N�yrtle, projected to a point where
it would intersect at the intersection of Hampden and
Charles, then south on a line with Cretin and continuing
on Cretin to the point of beginning on St. Clair; also
including a strip of land 20D feet wide adjoining such
territory."
After repeal of Prohibition, 16 liquor licenses were allowed
to locate in the area bounded by the Liquar Patrol Limits.
That number remains constant. In 1977, there were 9 on-sale
and 7 off-sale within this area. A new license can move
�nto this area only if a "vacancy" occurs. 3.2 bars are
not included in these restrictions.
The impact of the Liquor Patrol Limits statute on results
of this study is difficult to estimate. As map 5-2 shows,
after taking into account the distance separations required
between liquor licenses and colleges, universities and the
� f�airgrounus, locational choice is limited. A finer-grained �
study, one focusing at a level lower than the census tract,
would be required to analyze the impact of the Liquor
Patrol Limits statute acting in combination with the other
restrictions listed in 5.2 above.

In May of 197�, the Co�unity Crime Prevention project of the Min-
nesota Crime Control Planning Board released a study which indicated a .
stronq clustering of crimes dround on-sale liquor establishments in Min-
neapolis. Subsequent to the issuing of this report, the city of St. Pau1,
through the city council and the mayor�s office, become concerned about
the impact rvhich adult entertairvnent had on the neighborhoods in �vhich
they tvere Zocated. These mutual interests and experi�nces of the city
of St. Paul and the Convrcunity Crime Prevention project corrLbined to pro-
duce this report.
NEIGHBORHOOD DETERIORATION
and the
LOCATION OF ADULT ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENTS
INTRODUCTION
Bars, X-rated theaters, bookstares specializing in pornography, mas=
sage parlors and other adult entertainment businesses are generally thought
to deteriorate the neighborhoods in which they are sited. These establish-
ments are believed, for instance, to attract unsavory outsiders, set bad
examples for minors or otherwise lessen the desirability of the af€ected
neighborhoods as places to live.
Despite this widespread concern about the impact of vari�ous adult
entertainment facilities, little research has been conducted on the effect
of these establishments on the neighhorhoods in which they are located.
A study of the effects of sexually oriented businesses in California found
that areas with high concentrations of these establishments generally
showed a relative. decrease in progerty values when compared to areas with-
out such Qstablishments. However,. �:he study determined that these con-
centrations of sex-oriented businesses r�ere not the primary cause of the
lowered property values.l A study in Minneapolis of the spatial distri-
bution of crimes around facilities with on-sale liquor licenses showed a
distinct pattern of clustering of crimes within one-tenth of a mile of
these establishments.2 However, no studies have been conducted of the
overall eff.ect which all adult entertainment establishments (both alcohol-
serving and sexually oriented) have on their surrounding neighborhoods.
The following study was designed to investigate th� effects of a variety
of adu2t entertainment facilities in St. Paul upon the character of the
neighborhoods in which they are located.
'Study of the Effects of the Concentration of AduZt Entertairvnent
Establistu�nts in the City of Los Angeles, (Los Angeles: City Plannfng
Department) June, 1977.
zCrime in ttinneapolis: Proposals for Prevention, (St. Paul, Minn.:
Governor's Commission on Crime Prevention and Control, May, 1977).

� RESF.ARCH DESIGN
To test absolutely whether adult entertainment establishments cause
neighborhood deterioration would requir.e 1) random assignment of these
establishments throughout the city, such that some sections received
adult entertainment businesses, while others had none, and 2) measures
� of the level of neighborhood deterioration in both location groups, both
before and after sections of the city received the adult entertainment
busfnesses. The procedure of random assignment would eliminate the pos-
sibility that the location of adult entertainment businesses and the
location of neighborhood deterioration are both results of other factors.
"Before" and "after" measurements of deteriora[ion would eliminate the
possibility that neighborhood deterioraCion came first and made the neigh-
borhood more conducive to the subsequent introduction of adult entertain-
ment businesses. Through this pracess of elimination, only one basic -
explanation would remain--the presence of adult entertainment must some-
how have precipitated neighborhood deterioration.
It is obvious that these strict design procedures cannot be applied
for this study. Instead, this report studies adult entertainment busi-
nesses already in existence at locations limited by market influences
and land use ordinances. Some of the tests used here meet the require-
ment of "before" and "after" measurerr:ent, although none of the tests
satisfies the requirement of random locations. The nonrandomness of
these locations imposes certain limita[ions on the analysis of this
study. The data in this report cannot prove a direct causal relation-
ship between adult entertainment establishments and neighborhood factors.
However, the analysis can, like truly experimental tests, disprove the
argument if evidence indicates that neighborhood deterioration and loca-
.tion of adult entertainment establishments are not related. Conversely,
the analysis can provide eircwnstantial evidenee for a causal relation-
ship between adult entertainment and neighborhood deterioration if the
two are related statistically. '
The research design and findings are divided into four stages to
provide information abouC each of the following issues:
1. Does deterioration tend to occur in the saane
areas of the city ¢s adult entertainment busi-
nesses are Iocated, in 1970? in 1976?
2. Does the relationship, if any, betrveen neighbor-
hood deterioration and adult entertainment per-
sist even u�hen other factors are controlled, in
2970? in 19�6?
3. If the reZationships persist, has deterioration
in neighborhoods fol.Zowed rather than preceded
the location of adult entertainment businesses
in the affected r.eighborhoods, during the I970-
1976 ti�ne period? �'hat is, do adult entertain-
ment establistvnents contribute to deterioration?
2 _
.
� 4. Is the effect of adult entertainment on neigh-
borhood quality/deterioration a threshold phe-
nomenon? That is, does neighborhood quaZity
show a marked deterioration after a critical nLUrc-
ber of adult entertainment establishments ecre
located in an area?
1. Simple Tract Analysisl
NDoes deterioration tend ta occur in the same areas
of the city as adult entertai»mznt businesses are
located, in 1970? in I976?'�
To answer this question, the relationships between measures of
adult entertainment establishments and indicators of neighborhoad q��al-
ity/deterioration for 1970 and 1976 are analyzed.
2. Tract Analysis with Selected Third Variables
"Does the relationship, if any, betr�een neighborhood
deterior�ation and adult entertairrment persist even
tvhen other factors are controlled, in 1970? in 1976?�'
To answer this question, the 1970 and 1976 tract level analyses are
repeated, introducing relevant third variables. Statistical procedures
are used to control for the role of market and legal influences which
could spuriously yield an association between the location of adult en-
tertainment businesses and neighborhood deterioration even though the
businesses themselves might noC contribute directly to deterioration. -
3. Tract Analysis over Time, with Sel.ected Third Variables
"If the relationships persist, has deterioration in
• neighbor'i��ds folloti�e�; rxther° than preced<>� the Io�a-
tion of adult entertainment businesses in the affect�ed
neighborhoods, durinq the I970-1976 time period? Thdt
is, do adul t entertainnient estabZ ishments contribute to
deteri or�ati on?'�
"To answer this question, a third zract-level analysis was conducted
which studies the relationship between adult entertainment establishments
and the cttange in the neighborhood quality during the period of 1970-1976.
This "before=after" change analysis, with statistical controls for rele-
vant third variables, tests for the direction of causality in the dete-
rioration/adult entertainment relationship.
1St. Paul is divided into 7$ census tracts. All analyses were con-
ducted at the level of these census tract units to eiisure consistency and
comparability of test results.
The census tract incorpo.rating the downtown St. Paul area (i.e. , tract
342) is not considered a typical "neighborhood" and was therefore excluded
from the study.
3
� 4. Analysis of Adult Entertainment Threshold Effects on Neighborhood
Deterioration
"Is the effect of adult entertairvr„ent on neighborhood
quality/deterior¢tion a threshold pheno�nenon? That is,
does neighborhood quality show a marked deterioration
after a critical nz.vriber of adult enter�tainment estab-
,_ Iishments are located in an area?O �
The analysis techniques used in this study assume that the rela-
tionships studied are linear. Curvilinear and "threshold"1 phenomena
(where the effects are not apparent unti�l some minimum level is reached)
are not fully refiected by these eechniques. To answer the question of
threshold effects, additional analyses were conducted to determine if .
neighborhaod quality shows marked deterioration after the presence of
a critical number of adult entertainment establishments in an area.
DATA SOURCES
Analyses contained in this report draw upon a variety of data. Data
were collected by the Community Crime Prevention project of the Minnesota
Crime Control Planning Board and the St. Paul Planning Division, with the
cooperation of the St. Paul Police Department and the St. Paul Licensing
Division. Data collected for the study include adult entertainment estab-
'lishment information, crime counts, current housing values, and land use
variables. Data used, but not collected specifically for this study, in-
clude housing and population counts conducted fn 1970 by the U.S. Census
Bureau and 1970-197b address information given in the annual R. L. Polk
& Co. St. P¢u1 City Directory.
Measures of Neighborhood Quality/Deterioration
The measures of neighborhood deterioration used include reported
cxime ra.te and va�ue of housing.
Crime Counts, I971-1976
Incident Summary reports from the St. Paul Police Department gave fn-
formation on the calls for police service by police grid from 1971 through
, 1976, for each of six crimes--burglary, robbery, larceny, aggravated as-
sault, rape, and auto theft. A total crime count was computed by summing
all six crime counts for each area. These grid level counts were aggre-
gated to the tract level to estimate the total number of crimes in each
1Thresholds have the effect of making a measure noncontinuous.
After the threshold is attained, the effect could be continuous, and
even linear; however, the effect could remain constant after threshold
is reached (i.e. , an all-or-none sit.uatian). For a discussion of
threshold phenornena, see G1enn M. Fishbine, Bifurccttion Theory and the
Modeling of Criritinal Behavior, (St. Paul: Minnesota Crime Control
Planning Board) , paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American
Society of Criminology, Atlanta, Georgia, November 16-20, 1977. �

' census tract for each of the study years, 1971 and� 1976.1 (Prior to
1971, only citywide crime counts are available, and are .therefore not .
applicable to a tract—level analysis.) The total crime count for each
tract was then adjusted for the 1970 population of that tract to obtain
the total crime rate per 1,000 population.
Housing Values, 1970 and 1976 �
The 1970 U.S. Census Bureau median values of owner—occupied housing
were used as the 1970 housing values. For the 1976 housing values, the
City Planning Division collected the median sales price by census tract
from the 1976 property sales file of the� Local Government Aids and Anal—
ysis Division.2
Market and Le�al Influences, 1970 and 1976
Land use ordinances set predetermined limits on the character of
business establishments which can be sited in any given zoning classifi—
cation. Under the zoning ordinance in effect throughout most of the
study period, adult entertainment establishments were generally restricted
to commercial or light industrial zones. 3 The combined commercial and
light .industrial zoned lineal frontage was measured for each census tract
and used as a control for legal influences.
lIn St. Pau2, police grids cannot be directly "converted" to census
tracts. In cases where areas did overlap, conversions were made on the
basis of proportional area. This aggregation of counts from grid level
to tract level assumes that crimes are evenly distributed within any
particular _grid. This is a conventional assumption in converting from
one geographic scale to another. To [he extent that the assumption errs,
the error will be in the direction of a slight clouding of geographic �
patterns in the data, rather than in the dire.ction of creating patterns
where none exist. Thus, any patterns of relationship between neighbor—
ho�d �xeterioratien snd ��ult er.rerta.;ument es*ablisrments tha*_ do appear i:-
in these data will be very distinct, and will not be due to the grid—to—
tract aggregation techniques employed.
�These real estate sale prices are thoroughly screened and edited
to include only open market sales transactions between buyers and sellers;
therefore, the transactions that remain after exclusions are an excellent
measure of the fair market value of transferred properties.
sA new zoning ordinance was put into effect on October 24, 1975. The
new ordinance had no e€fect on adult entertainment establishments alxeady
in existence, and the areas where adult entertainment establishments were
allowed to locate under the old ordinance generally remained the same in
the new ordinance. Also, since the new ordinance came into effect so
late in the study period, it was nat considered to have a major impact
on the location af adult entertainment establishments during the 1970—
1976 study period.

' The age of a neighborhood can be an important determiner of the
commercial and residential market values and desirability of that neigh— .
borhood. The� proportion of housing in the 1970 census built prior to
1940 was used as an index of neighborhood age to control for residential
and commercial market influences.
Adult Entertainment Establishments, 197Q-1976
A list of all adult entertainment establishments existing in St.
Paul during the study period of 1970-1976 was compiled by the St. Paul
Planning Division. Establishments were classified as either alcohol—
serving businesses or as sexual businesses, which included adult book—
stores, adult thea[ers, and saunas. Aleohol—serving establishments
were further classifzed as to whether they had a tavern (live entertain—
ment) license and, if so, whether such entertainment was sexual in na—
ture. This information was verified, with the aid of the city licensing
division's records and the city police department, for the initial and �
final study time—points, 1970 and 1976.1
This classification system results in the following adult entertain—
ment establishment types:
I. Alcohol—serving establishments
A. Alcohol—serving, without live entertainment
B. Alcohol—serving, with live entertainment
�
1. Nonsexual entertainment
. 2. Sexually oriented entertainment
II. Sexually oriented establishn�ents
. A. �exual only (adult bookstcrfs, theat��rs, arid sau�as)
$. Alcohol—serving, with sexually oriented entertain—
ment (same establishments as in B-2 above)
�The classification of adult entertainment types is presented visually .
in Figure 1.
[Insert Figure I]
lAlthough the possession of a license for live entertainment was
verified for each establishment, it could not be ascertained from the
records whether all of these establishments actually offered live enter—
tainment. Those establishments classified as having sexually orien[ed
live entertainment were those known by the city police department to
offer exclusively sex—oriented entertainment. Establishments which had
lingerie or swim wear luncheon shows, etc. , for only brief periods of
the study time were not classified as sexually orienCed.

Since not all businesses were operational throughout the entire study
time period, establishments were also coded as to whether they had begun �
(i.e., were "new") or had gone aut of business (i.e. , were "dead") between
1970 and 1976 during the study period. On the basis of street address,
each of the establishments was geographically assigned to the appropriate
1970 census tract location.
SUMMARY OF STUDY VARIABLES
In summary, each tract—level unit can be described in terms of
neighborhood quality/deterioration, market and legal influences, and
presence of adult entertainment establishments.
Measures of neighborhood quality include:
� 1. Median housing values.
2. Total crime rate per 1,000 population.
Indicators of legal/market influences include:
1. Combined commercial/light industrial zoned
lineal frontage.
2. Ag� of housing in the neighborhood.
The different types and mixes of adult entertainment establishments
studied include:
1. The overall presence or "total count" of all
adu2t entertainment establishments combined. �
2. All sexually oriented establishments (i.e.,
bookstores, theaters, massage parlors).
3. All alcohol—serving establishments.
4. �lcohol—serving establishznents without tavern
(i.e., live entertainmentj licenses.
3. Alcohol—serving establishments with tavern
(i.e., live entertainment) licenses.
FINDINGS
A. SIMPLE TRACT ANALYSIS
nDoes deterioration tend to occur in the same areas
of the city as adult entertainment businesses are
Zocated, in 1970? in 1976?'�
In Stage I, the relationships between indicators of neighborhood
quality/deterioration and measures of adult entertainment establishments
were analyzed for the years 1970 and 197b. Results of the regression
analyses are presented in Appendix A.1
1See page 29 for Appendix A.
. 8
The number of all adult entertainment establishments (all alcohol- �
serving and sexually oriented establishments combined) present in neigh-
borhoods in 1970 is significantly related to the neighborhood quality.l
That is, neighborhoods with higher crime rates and lower median housing
values in 1970 tend to have more adult entertainment facilities located
in them. Specifically, neighborhood quality in 1970 is related to the
number of alcohol-serving establishments. When types of alcohol estab-
lishments are studied, neighborhood quality shows a relationship to the
presence of establishments without live entertainment licenses, but has
only a (statistically) marginal relationship to establishments wiCh 2ive
entertainment licenses. No relationship is found between neighborhood
deterioration and the number of sexually oriented establishments present
in 1970.
A similar pattern of association appears in the 1976 analyses. The
number of all adult entertainment establishments (alcohol-serving and '
sexually oriented combined) in 1976 is significantly related to neighbor-
hood quality. As in 1970, this relationship is seen for the number of
alcohol-serving establishments. The relationship between neighborhood
quality and liquor-serving establishments in 1976 is present for both
� entertainment- and nonentertainment-licensed facilities (although the
relationship is stronger for the establishments without entertainment
licenses). Again, as in 1970, no relationship is found between neigh-
borhood deterioration and the presence of sexually oriented establish-
ments.
. - �
� In summary, as shown in Table 1, the presence of all adult enter-
tainment establishments (alcohol-serving and sexually oriented combined)
tends to be associated with greater neighborhood deterioration in both �
1970 and 1976. Ho�ever, when types of adult entertainment establish-
�ments are studied separately, this relationship is found only for the
alcohol-serving establisfvnents, not for sexually oriented facilitie.s.

B. TRACT ANALYSIS,. CONTROLLING FOR THE EFFECTS OF LEGAL�MARKET INFLUENCES
'�Does the relationship betr�een neighborhood deteriora-
tion and adult entertairrment persist eUen rvhen other
factors are controlled, in 1970? in 1976?��
It is possible that the relationships between neighborhood quality/
deterioration and adult entertainment establishments found in Sta�e I
are due to other inf2uences that were not included in the analyses. In
Stage II, the tract analyses are repeated for both 1970 and 1976, con-
trolling for legal and market effects (zoning and neighborhood age) in
1Throughout this study, the presence or absence of a relationship
is determined by statistical significance. ThaC is, the statement "a
relationship was found . . ." indicates that the analysis results were
significant at the p < .OS Level; the statement "no relationship was
found . . ." indicates that the analysis results were not significant
at the p < .OS level. �

the neighborhood. l Results of the regression analyses are presented in
Appendix B.Z
These analyses show the same overall pattern of results as found
in Stage I. For both 1970 and 1976, the presence of all adult entertain-
ment establishments (alcohol-serving and sexually oriented combined) is
related to neighborhood deterioration. As in Stage I, when adult enter-
� tainment establishment types are analyzed separately, the relationship
is found only for alcohol-serving establishments. Neighborhood quality/
deterioration is significantly related to the total presence of alcohol-
serving establishments, and to the presence of establishments without
live entertainment licenses. The relationship found between deteriora-
tion and entertainment-licensed establishments in Stage I does not per-
sist after zoning and neighborhood age are controlled. As in Stage I,
there is no relationship, in either 1970 or 1976, between neighborhood _
deterioration and the presence o€ sexually oriented establishments. -
In summary, as shown in Table 2, a relationship between neighborhood
quality and the number of all adult entertainment establishments (alcohol-
serving and sexually oriented combined) located in the neighborhood does
persist after introducing controls. This relationship is fo•�nd for the
alcohol-serving adult entertainment facilities studied but not for the
sexually oriented establishments. These same patterns of association
are present for both 1970 and 1976. Therefore, the r°elationship bet�een
neighborhood deteriaration and the presence of aII ac�ult entertainment
�establishments is more accurately vierved as a relati�riship betrveen
neiqhborhood deteriorcction and the presence of a1Z alcohol-serving
establishments.

C. TRACT ANALYSIS OVER TIME, CONTROLLEU FOK LEGAL/MARKET INFLUENCE�
�'Has deterioration in neighborhoods folZorved rather
- t�han preceded the .Zocation of adult enzertainnaent
businesses in the affected neiqfabor�hoods, during the
1970-1976 time period? That is, do czdult entertain-
m.ent establishments contribute to deterior¢tion?'�
In Stage III, a third tract-level analysis was conducted to deter-
mine whether neighborhood deterioration follows or precedes the location
of adult entertainment establishments in affected neighborhoods. This
"before-after" analysis, with statistical controls for legal/market
lAdding variables to the regression analysis will invariably cause "
an increase in the size of the multiple correlation coefficient, R. That
is, more variables explain more variance. However, the effect of intro-
ducing the control variables is statistically to "hoid constant" zoning
and neighborhood age for all tracts. Therefore, even though R necessarily
increases, the relationship between adult entertainment and the neighbor-
hood deterioration measures may increase or decrease.

influences, tests for the direction of causality in the neighborhood
deterioration/adult entertainment relationship. That is, if deterio- �
ration precedes the location of adult entertainment establishments, .
then the presence of adult entertainment establishments in 1976 should
show a strong relationship with the level of neighborhood quality/
deterioration present in 1970. Conversely, if neighborhood deterio-
' ration follows the location of adult entertainment establishments,
then the presence of adult entertainment establishments in 1970 should
show a strong relationship with the level of neighborhood quality/
deterioration present in 1976. Further, the relative strengths of
these cross-time relationships to each other indicates the stronger
direction of cause/influence.
� This analysis is divided into two sections. The first section de-
termines if neighborhood deterioration precedes the location of adult
entertainment establishments. The second section determines if neigh-
borhood deterioration follows the location of adult entertainment estab-
lishments.
'�Does neighborhood deteriorataon precede the Iocation
of ddult entertairvnent establish�nents?"
To determine if neighborhood deterioration precedes the location
of adult entertainment establishments, analyses were conducted to see
if the presence of adult entertainment establishments in 1976 followed
a pattern of neighborhood deterioration that already existed in 1970.1
Results of these analyses are presented in Appendix C.Z As in Stage I
and Stage II findings, a relationship is found to exist between all
adult entertainment estabiishments (alcohol-serving and sexually oriented
combined) and deterioration. When adult entertainment establishments are
studied by type, relationships with deterioratian are found £or all
alcahol-serving establishments and for alcohol:-serving facilities without
entertainment licenses. As in Stage II, the relationship between dete-
_ riarat�cn and entertainment-l:c�snsed Er,i.aFilisi_ments does not F,ersi-.t "
after legal and market influences are controlled. There is no relation-
ship between neighbor;�ood deterioraCion in 1970 and the number of sex-
ually oriented establishments in 1976.
`1The rate of inflation altered the dollar value in a non-linear
fashion between 1970 and 1976. Therefore, this cross-time analysis cor-
rected the distribution of 1970 housing values for dollar inflation to
aliow more accurate comparison of these results to other analyses. The
correction rate was derived from Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures for
base year 1967.
(1976 CPI - 1970 CPI) (170.9 - 117.5)
Correction = 1970 GPI - 117.5 = �•4545.
The 1970 dollar values were increased by this factor in the Stage III
analysis.
2See page 31 for Appendix C.
13
There is a relationship between neighborhood deterioration in 1970
and the subsequent number of all adult entertainment establishments
(alcohol-serving and sexually oriented combined) in an area in 1976.
Therefore, adult entertainment establishments tend to locate in neigh-
borhoods which already suffer deterioration.
nDoes neighborhood deterioration fo1lo� the location
of adult entertainment fa.cilities?'�
To determine if the decline of �eighborhood quality follo�vs the
location of adult entertainment establishments, analyses were conducted
to see if neighborhood deterioration in 1976 followed the presence of
adult entertainment establishments in 1970. Resu�ts of these analyses
are presented in Appendix D. l Again, a pattern of relationship exists
between the presence of all adult entertainment establishments (alcohol-
serving and sexually oriented combined) and neighborhood deterioration. -
Deterioration in 1976 is related to the number of alcohol-serving estab-
lishments in I970 and to the number of establishments without live enter-
tainment licenses in 1970. As in Stage II analyses, deterioration is
not related to establishments with entertainment licenses after controls
for legal and market influences are fntroduced. And finally, there is
no relationship between the presence of sexually oriented establishments
in 1970 and level of neighborhood deterioration in 1976.
There is a relationship between neighborhood deterioration in 1976
'and the number of all adult entertainment establishments (alcohol-serving
and sexually oriented combined) in the area in 1970. Therefore, neigh-
borhood deterioration tends to follorv the Iocation of aduZt entertain-
ment establishments.
� When the strengths of the cross-time relationships are compared,
' the "deterioration-follows-establishments" relationships are consistently
stronger than the "deterioration-precedes-establishments" relation�hips.
Thus, although certain types of adult entertairr�2e�at facili�ies tend to -
Iocccte in already deteriordted neighborhoods, there is a stronger influ-
ence in the opposite direction. Th,ere is a greater tendency for dete-
rionation to follo�v the Iocation of certain aduZt entertairvnent
establ is}vnents.
In conclusion, as shown in Table 3, adult entertainment facilities
tend to be established in areas of relative deterioration. A pattern
of deterioration appears to follow the locations of certain types of
adult entertainment establishments. This could be an increase in the
pattern of deterioration already present. Tlais cycle of "deterioration-
aduZt entertainncent-deterioration'� is seen only for areas in rvhich there
are alcohal-serving esta.blishments. Sexually oriented establishments,
when analyzed by themselves, do not show this cyclic pattern of rela-
tionship with neighborhood deterioration.

D. ANALYSIS OF ADULT ENTERTAINMENT TNRESHOLD EFFECTS ON NEIGHBORHOOD
DETERIORATI�N �
�'Is the effect of dduZt entertain�nent on neighborhood
� quality/deterioration a threshold phenomenon? That
is, does neighborhood quality sho� d marked dete�i-
oration after a critical ntvnber of adult entertain-
ment establishments are located in an area?"
The analyses in Stages I through III assume that the relationships
studied are linear. If the relationships are not linear, the effects
of adult entertainment on neighbo�hood quality may not be fully re-
flected by these techniques. In Stage IV, additianal analyses were
conducted to determine if the number of adult entertainment establish-
ments has a threshold effect on neighborhood deterioration. Tables in
Appendix E present the mean crime rate and the mean housing value for
increasing numbers of adult entertainment establishments ir 1970 and
in 1976. '
Figure 2 shows that the number of all adult entertainment estab-
lishments (alcohol-serving and sexually ori.ented combined) has a marked
threshold effect on neighborhood deterioration.2 Appendix F shows the
threshold effect of alcohol-serving establishments on neighborhood
quality. g The mean crime rate shows a significant increase after the
presence of more than one adult entertainment establishment. The mean
housing value decreases significantly after the presenee of more than
two adult entertainment establishments. These threshold effects are
observed in both I970 and in 1976. When types of establishments are
studied separately, the same pattern of threshold effects on neighbor-
hood deterioration is found for all alcohol-serving establishments. No
threshold effect is seen for sexually oriented establishments when stud-
�ed by themselves.
[Insert Figure 2]
In summary, as shown in Table 4, the number of adult entertainment
establishments in a neighborhood has a strong threshold effect on asso-
ciated neighborhood deterioration, for both 1970 and 1976. This means
that the increase in deterioration associated with each additional estab-
lishment is not constant. The effect of each additional adult entertain-
ment establishment on neighborhood quality depends upon the number of
such establishmeats already present in the area. The ctddition of an
1See Appendix E beginning o� page 33.
�The differences in mean deterioration reflected by these threshold
analyses were confirmed as statistically significant by using an analysis
of variance. Additionally, the analysis of variance indicated that the
relationship between the presence of adult entertainment establishments
and neighborhood deterioration is curvilinear in nature.

E. SUN�IARY OF FINDINGS
�
A summary of the relationships found in Stages I through IV is
presented in fiable 5.
� [Insert Table 5]
STAGE I: Does deterioration tend to occur in the same areas
of the city as ddu1± entertainment businesses are.
located, in 1970? in 1976?
The presence of all adult entertainment establishments (alcohol-
serving and sexually oriented combined) tends to be associated wi[h �
greater neighborhood deterioration in both 1970 and 1976. However,
when types of adult entertainment establishments are studied separately,
this relationship is found only for the alcohol-serving establishments,
not for sexually oriented facilities.
STAGE II: Does the relationship bet�veen neighborhood det�ri-
orataon and adult entertai�vn,ent persist even when
other factors are controlled, in 1970? in Z976?
A reLationship between nEighborho�� quality anc! the nun��er of all
adult entertainment establishments (alcohol-serving and sexually oriented
combined) located in the neighborhood does persist after introducing con-
trols for legai and market influences. This relationship is found for
the alcohol-serving adult entertainment facilities studied but not for
the sexually oriented establishments. These same patterns of associa-
tion are present for both 1970 and 1976. Therefore, the relationship �
between neighborhood deterioration and the presence of all adult enter-
tainment facilities is more accurately viewed as a relationship between
neighborhood deterioration and the presence of all alcohol-serving
establishments.
STAGE III: Has deterioration in neighborhoods followed rather
than preceded the location of adult er�tertainment
businesses in the affected neighborhoods, during
the 1970-I9�6 time period? That is, do adult enter-
tairrment establishments contribute to neighborhood
deteriorcztion? �
Adult entertainment facilities tend to be established in areas of
relative deterioration. A pattern of deterioration appears to follow

the locations of certain types of adult entertainment establishments.
This could be an increase in the pattern of deterioration ulready pres-
ent. This cycle of "deterioration-aduZt entertainment-deterioration" .
is seen only for areas in which there are alcohol-serving establish-
ments.. Sexually oriented establishments do not show this cyclic pattern
of relationship with neighborhood deterioration.
STAGE IV: Is the effect of adult entertainment on neighborhood
quality/deteriordtion a threshold phenomenon? Z'tcat
� is, does neighborhoud quality sho� a marked deteri-
oration after a critical number of adult entertain-
m,�nt establ is)vnents are .Z ocated in an area?
The number of adult entertainment establishments in a neighborhood
has a strong threshold effect on �ssociated neighborhood deterioration,
for both 1970 and 1976. This means that the increase in deterioration
associated with each additional establishment is not constant. The ef-
fect of each additional adult entertainment establishment on neighbor-
hood quality depends upon the number of such establishments already
present in the area. The addition of an adult entertainment establish-
ment to an area with mare than une or two of these establishments al-
ready present is associated with a marked increase in neighborhood � ,
deterioration. When types of adult entertainment establishments are
studied separately, threshold effects are found for the number of
alcohol-serving establishments, not for the� number of sexually oriented
establishments present.
SiTI�II�lARY AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC POLICY
There is a statistically significant relationship between the num-
ber of adult entertainment establishments (alcohol-serving and sexually
oriented combined) Iocated in an area and the deterioration of that area
as reflected in housing values and crime rates. This. relationship was
found to exist -in both 1970 and 1976, even when legal and market influ-
ences such as light industrial/commercial zoning and neighborhood age
are controlled for.
When types of adult entertainment establishment.s were studied
separately, a significant relationship was found betoreen neighborhood
deterioration and the number of alcohol-serving establishments; i�n the
presence of controls for legal and market influences, the number of
alcohol-serving establishments without entertainment licenses was
found to be most strongly related to neighborhood deterioration.
It should be noted, while the presence of sexually oriented estab-
lishments taken by themselves does not show a significant association
with neighborhood deterioration, these establishments tend to locate in
areas which already reflect the effects of other adult entertainment '
establishments, making it difficult without further analysis to ascer-
tain the unique contribution which sexually oriented establishments
have on neighborhood deterioration.
21
While adult entertainment establishments tend to locate in areas of
relative deterioration, there is clear indication that these establish—
ments contribute heavily to the further deterioration of these same areas.
Most significantly, the effect of adult entertainment establishments on
neighborhood deterioration was found to be a threshold phenomenon; neigh—
borhood deterioration is significantly greater in those areas with more
than two adult entertainment establishments of any type (alcohol—serving
or sexually oriented).
The implications of these findings for public policy are two fold:
First, locating an adult entertainment establishment in a neighbor—
hood, especially ff there are already one or two such establishments lo—
cated �here, will likely have an impact on the quality of that area.
There is an externality or social cost, as reflected in neighborhood ,
deterioration, imposed on a neighborhood by the loeation of an adult en—
tertainment establishment in that area. These costs are ultimately re—
flected in higher taxes for all St. Paul citizens in order to support
the delivery of more police services, and in a relatively depressed and
eroding tax base in the affected areas, leading to even higher citywide
tax rates.
Second, the magnitude of this deterioration is a function not only
of the type of adult entertainment establishment to be located in an
area, but of the number of adult entertainment establishments already
present in the area. There is a clear threshold; those areas with more
than two adult entertainment establishments have sharply higher crime
rates and sharply lower housing values than those with fewer than two
such establishments.
Accordingly, public policy decisions regarding the location of
additional adult entertainment establishments in St. Paul. must take
account of both the general neighborhood deterioration expected to be
associated with such establishments, and with the even greater dete—
zioratior: in the quality of thcse neiohborhoods with more than tao
such existing establishments.
The picture painted in this study reflects in broczd policy recom—
mendations findings based on analyses of classes of adult entertainment
establishments in St. Paul. Individual adult entertainment establish—
ments in different sections of St. Paul may or may not follow the trends �
identified in this analysis; further analysis wiZl allow more precise
statements about the effects of individual adult entertainment estab— �
lishments on neighborhood deterioration in St. Paul.

CLOSSARY '
Adjusted R2
Adjusted RZ is an R2 statistic adjusted for the number of cases
and the number of variables in the regression analysis. It provides
� a more conservative estimate of the proportion of variance in the de—
pendent variable explained by the combined linear influence of the
independent variables.
Analysis of Variance
A general statistical technique used to test for differences in �,
means between two or more groups.
B
The unstandardized regression coefficient, B, indicates the change
in the dependent variable associated with each unit change in an inde—
pendent variab�e. It is the slope of the line of "best fit" between
an independent variable and the dependent variable, after taking into
account all other variables included in the regression.
Contribution
The contribution of an independent variable to the regression anal—
ysis is the proportion of variance in the dependent variable explained
by that variable.
Eta
The generalized correlation coeffi.cient, eta, is a measure of the
relationship (Iinear or curvilinear) between two variables.
Eta2
The square of eta, eta2, is the proportion of variance in the de--
pendent variable accounted for by the independent variable. If eta� is
significantly larger than the RZ value for the same variables, then the
relationsliip bet�*een these variables is nonlinear.
F
A Cest statistic used to determine the significance of an analysis
of variance, mul[iple correlation or test of linearity.
: 23
Multiple Re�ression
Multiple regression is a statistical technique used to determine
the relationship between a dependent or criterion variable and a set
of independent or predictor variables. It may also be used to evaluate
the relative predictive importance of the independent variables and/or
control for other confounding factors in order to evaluate the contri—
bution of a specific variable or set of variables.
R .
The multiple correlation coefficient, R, reflects the strength of
the linear relationship between Che dependent variable and a set of
predictor variables. �'�
RZ
The squared value of the multiple correlation coefficient, R2, gives
the proportion of variance in the dependent variable explained by the
combined linear influence of the independent variables.
Significance
Significance refers to the outcome of a specific statistical test
or analysis. A significance value is the probability that the outcome
. is a chance or random finding. Therefore, the statement "the relation—
ship was signifi_cant at the p < .05 level . . ." indicates a 95% canfi—
dence that the results reflect real patterns.
Te.st of Linearitv
A statistical procedure to deCermine if the mean values of three
or more groups increase (or decrease) in a linear fashion.
Variance
This statistic is one way of ineasuring how closely individual scores
on a variable cluster about the mean. Variance plays an important role
in many statistical tests and procedures; one of the primary goals of .
research is to "explain" variance. This essentially means locating vari—
ables which account for or explain variance in other variables.

l. Request for change of day for conducting bingo games by the World War-� II
Auxiliary Post 6845, at 1060 University Avenue. (No one notified to attend.)

2. Application for the transfer of the On-Sale Liquor license issued to Parkside
Lounge, Inc. at 1181 Clarence Street, doing business as the P$rkside, to MANDD,
Inc. at the same address. (David R. Gonion and Michael T. CuZlen notified to

Carchedi recommended that this item be laid over for one week. Hozza moved a one-

3. Public hearing on the application for the transfer of the On-Sale Liquor. License
issued to Jerral, Inc. at 173 W. Sixth Street, who did business as Tappie's,
to 871 White Bear Avenue. �
Carchedi said this matter first came before the committee on April 27 and at that
time a June 8 hearing date was set. Al1 the proper notifications have been sent.
A plan of the proposed building and site location was handed out to the Council
members. Carchedi said the plan has been approved by all the necessary city depart-
ments and he was recouunending approval of the transfer.
Chairman Tedesco asked that the opponents of the license transfer be heard first.
Richard J. Carroll, 1740 E. Iowa, addressed the Council. Carroll is the Chairman-Elect
of the Greater East Side Planning Council, District 2. On April 30, the District
had its convention, and this transfer was discussed. There was a motion to oppose the
transfer of this license to 871 White Bear Avenue by the deiegates to this convention.
The motion passed. It was also referred to the District`s Planning Committee.

Randy Kelly, District 66 State Representative, said he had sent the Council members
� a letter outlining his opposition to the transfer. He said if the Council truly
believes in citizen participation--that is, the citizens working with government in
a cooperative effort to mold the shape of the community--then the oppositian of the
neighbors to this transfer should be paramount. He said there is overwhelming opposi-
tion to this transfer from the people who must live and raise children in this neigh-
borhood. The members of the community have expressed a desire to work with anyone
tzying to deyelop this property in order to come up with a compatible use for this
- location. He realized something would have to go in there beeause of the zoning,
but he would like to see the people work wi.th a developer.
Karl Bozicevich, current Chairman of District 2 Planning Council, said in the residerr-
tial improvement strategy plan passed by the city the third recommendation stated,
"The adequacy of land use controls in developing areas should be evaluated." If this
establishment is allowed to go in this location, it goes against this recommendation.
He disagrees with the staff recoiumendation (Carchedi's) that this license be approved
as this is an incompatible use with this area. He said the developer of this land
has shown a lack of responsibility in not coming before the residents of the area.
A year ago the area had a problem on zoning concerning the same parcel when a fast
food operation was proposed at this site. The community opposed a fast food restaurant
� for the same reasons--traffic and congestion. At that time he had had a discussion
with t�he developer and told him when he had ideas about a proposal he should come
and wor� with the _neighbors. This has not been done and again the developer has a
fight on his hands with the neighborhood. Tf the developer would like to put some�
thing in there he should go to the residents and Iisten to their concerns. The
people want to see the property developed but the use must be compatible. That
,' area on the palice grid map shows the second highest crime rate within the district.
The location of another liquor establishment can, in his opinion, only increase those
statistics. The District Planning Council has worked hard on an economic development
plan and encouraged busin�ss to locate in their area.
Dick Germain, 1751 Stillwater, passed out fact sheets. He was at the meeting to
speak for the residents of the area. He said another bar would not benefit cammercial
or residential properties in the area. He cited traffic statistics. (See Exhibit 1
attached to these minutes.)
He also said there were a number of unreported accidents in the area. He noted an
article in the St. Paul Dispatch, May 31, 1977, relating to traffic and congestion
on the East Side. (See Exhibit 2) He showed the committee pictures of the parking
and traffic in the area. There are three physicians and one dentist with off ices
nearby who lack adequate parking for their patients and park on Stillwater or in the
alley. When the Hazel Park Commercial Club has activities their patrons park on
Stillwater as their lot is inadequate. The residents are subjected to vandalism
amd litter. He questioned if the bar would be able to furnish adequate parking
for their patrons. He noted there are five liquor establishments within a four-
block radius and four of these are within two blocks of the proposed site. He
thought five bars were more than ade�}uate to meet the needs of the neighborhood.
Sue Hauwiller, 1743 Stillwater, talked about the traffic and parking problems in the �
area at present. A bar attracts people outside of the neighborhood who are not
concerned about neighborhood streets, children, etc. She passed out a sheet to the
Council giving statistics on children, schools, playgrounds, new housing in the area.
(See Exhibit 3) She said a number of children must cross the street. The residential
lots are not deep. She thought the alley would probably become another street. There
are two residential lots directly behind the proposed site and thought the homes
would be deval.ued if the bar went in. The insurance rates would be increased. They
have a lot of young families in the area who are concerned about their children
s ,

Whole

and the neighbozhood. The exa.sting coznmezcial businesses and resa.dential properties
are compatible and ax'e pazt o� the neighborhood. She submitted a petition signed
by 265 people agai,nst the baz plus anothez petiti,on signed by 17 bus�ness people
in the area objecting to the bar.
Tedesco said he had received 19 letters o�pos3.ng the transf er and none in support.
Gezald Pape, 1760 E. 7th St. , said it was his personal feeling that the neighborhood
- could get along without the bar. He said property values would decline. The traffic
problems at the present time are bad. He has seven children and they are a�'raid
of the traffic. One of his children had been hit by a car. The area doesn't need
increased traffi.c and noise.
Dr. R. J. Se11s said he had a medical clinic near the site. He had been in the area
�or many years and knew the people living nearby. The co�nunity is well organized
in presenting the facts. He was speaking as a friend of the people in tfie community.
He .related that there used to be an on-sale liquor establishment within one block
of the site years ago. At that time he had experienced difficulty with the patrons
who came into his clinic drunk and created a disturbance. He had talked to the
other professionals in his building they were all opposed to the bar.
Russell Larson, 1887 Stillwater, said his concern is the past history. He had been
living i.n the neighborhood since 1937. Quite a few years back a liquor license was
transferred and done without notifying people. He felt this same thing was happening
again. He said he had gotten the runaround from the License Division when he in-
quired about the proposed bar. He questioned why he had heard rumors about what
was going on. He said a lady on Minnehaha Avenue had called the License Inspector's
Office and was told, "Why the hell are you concerned, you Iive on Minnehaha Street."
He didn't think this type of treatment should come out of the office. He said
patrons come out of bars at 2:30 or 3 a.m. and disturb the neighborhood. He said
he didn't think the parking lot would be adequate. He also questioned if the bar
would turn into another Payne Reliever.
Rod A. Klindworth, representing the Ames School PTA, presented a petition to the
� Council signed by parents and teachers in opposition to the transf er.
Arthur Guertin, owner of a drug store on 7th and White Bear, said he was opposed
for the same reasons cited by the other speakers.
Tony Danna, attorney, said he was representing the licensee. . He said the Council
had a plan before them showing the proposed site. He wanted to respond to some of
the rumors and statements made by the previous speakers regarding parking and the
type of establishment proposed. He related that the old Toppie's Bar had been
located in downtown St. Paul for 40 years and would still be there except for the
fact that it had been removed by HRA action. He wanted to assure everyone that no
entertainment is contemplated. Toppie's has never been a Payne Reliever type of
operation and has no intention of changing. The parking is more than adequate.
There are plans for adding additional parking if it becomes necessary. The space
is available for that. Parking in the street will not be the case with this
establishment. He said the bar will allow people from the medical office to park
in their lot.
Danna said this applicant was not the developer referred to by Karl Bozicevich.
There has been a lack of communication by the people who own the land who had
sought development. The applicant had never been i.nvited to attend a District
_ Minutes of Meeting o� License & �ublic Sa�ety Committee of the Whole, 3une 8, 1977
Page 4
Planning 'session. He said a.� the Council w4uld like the applicant as an individual
to go to the people and to the community and di.scuss the type of establishment, type
of building and parking that should be done. He explained he had been engaged to
represent the applicant quite late. It is correct that the developer did not discuss
the type of development with the people. Regarding objections to traffic and parking,
Danna said something is going to move into that location as it is zoned commercial.
If the Council chooses to lay over the matter he would promise that the applicant
will bring his plans and meet with the people in the area. He said Toppie's would
be a good neighbor. The plan has the approval of the proper departments. He said
there would be no left turn on to Stillwater and a barrier could be put in to force
a right turn. He assured that the children would not be harmed by such a business.
Roy Baber, realtor, said in defense of Joseph Carchedi who had been accused by Mr.
Larson of being rude to a lady on �finnehaha, it was he who had made the remark to
her. She had called him at home around 11:30 p.m. complaining about the project.
Malcolm Faust (from the audience) asked how long the license holder had the license.
Danna replied seven years.
Roedler moved the public hearing be closed. Passed 6-0.
Hozza said the suggestion by Danna for the licensee to meet with the neighbors was
a good one. He said there are problems both ways on this one. He suggested that
that approach be tried and see what happens. He inquired if the land had been sold
or was the purchase contingent upon the transfer being approved. Danna said it was
contingent upon the transfer being approved.
Bozicevich was asked if the suggestion for a meeting would be agreeabZe with the
Planning Council. Bozicevich said he was opposed to it. He didn't think in this
case a compromise is poss�ble. The residents are overwhelmingly opposed to a liquor
establishment. He would like to have seen such a meeting prior to this hearing.
There was a lack of communication. He understood Robert Sayre was the property
owner. (A gentleman in the audience said Sayre is not the property owner; it was
sold to someone else.) Replying to Danna's comment that the developer was not con-
tacted by the Planning Council, he said that was correct. It was his understanding
that Baber was the developer and they had had dealings witl� him before. He said
the Planning Council had already taken a position in opposition to the transfer. This
action had come about after a 1ot of discussion. A committee had studied it.
Roedler said as long as the people from the East Side were here today they should be
given information as to why the East Side has so many licenses. He had suggested on
more than one occasion and had mentioned to state legislators that the problem is
that 80% of St. Paul has to live with 100% of the liquor lieenses. This is mandated
by state law (liquor patrol limits) . The laws were put on the books long ago. If
the law had been changed this hearing would not have taken place today.
Randy Kelly said he was aware of that. He said the city is coming to the Iegislature
requesting more liquor licenses. Hozza corrected Kelly saying the city did not
request any liquor licenses this last session. Kelly stood corrected. He said he
would be more than happy to take a look at the 201 licenses issued to St. Paul. He
would introduce legislation to reduce the number.
' ' Minutes of Meeting of License & �ublic Safety Cammittee of the Whole, June 8, 1977
� Page 5
Roedler again said that 80% of the city absorbs 100% of the Iicenses. Although
he did not want to see licenses reduced, he would like the problem rectified.
The East Side is absorbing more than its share of licenses because of the liquor
patrol li.mits.
Ruby Hunt inquired of the city attorney whether or not the Council has the pre-
rogative of denying a license when the zoning is correct. Byrne responded that the
license could be denied if the appli.cant were not suitable or it could be based on
the health and safety of the community. A denial could also be based on improper
- zoning, insufficient parki.ng and violations of health regulations. These are all
grounds for denial.
Levine said sometime back the Council was told that in a relocation matter where the
applicant was forced to move, the applicant could go to other areas of the city
where a bar is off limits at the present time. He said 20� of the city daes not
have liquor. He asked if this law sti11 applied. Byrne said this was the case at
one time that an appl�.cant could go outside the patrol limits but this had been
repealed. This provision is not available to this licensee.
Roedler asked for an interpretation of the liquor patrol limits. Byrne said it is
a boundary or area within the westerly area of the city within which no new liquor
. license can be established because of special state legislation passed during
Prohibition. There were some licenses permitted into that area when Prohibition was
repealed. The liquor patrol limits can be changed either by state legislation or by
a Charter Amendment. Byrne said the density is far below that of the East Side.
Carchedi explained that the applicant originally came into his office and applied
� for a Thomas and Prior location. Carchedi was unaware of the expiration of the
previous law and started proceedings to locate applicant at that location. He .
was then informed the bar could not go in at Thomas and Prior and the White Bear
location �vas the applicant's second choice.
(The following is taken directly from the transcript of the tape.)
Hozza: I think everybody on the Council is aware that this is an extremely difficult
- situation because of the reasons outlined by the attorney, that it has to be demon--
strated some grounds on which to deny the application for the transf e�. But I think
in terms of the conversation that has been held regarding density and the problems
that that creates; in terms of the information that has been presented and in terms
of traffic; in terms of children in the area; in terms of already existing licenses
both on-sale and other liquor licenses in the area; that the record sufficiently
demonstrates that another license in "this i.mmediate area would be a threat to the
public health, safety and welfare. I don`t think that says anything about the
character or integrity of the applicant. To our lanowledge and through the process
which the city has that an applicant must follow, the applicant is of good integrity
until at such a time it is proven otherwise. But I think in terms of location; in
terms of the turning movements at what is already a very busy corner, that this would
simply make matters worse. It could not possible make matters better. And, on that
basis I would move denial of the transfer.
Sylvester: Mr. Danna, if this motion passes are you going to take this matter to court?
Danna replied he couldn't say. He would have to discuss it with the applicant.
Sylvester: We have been here many times before and if this motion passes I think
one man is going to settle it and it will be a judge. The only difference is going
to be that the license is going to be issued about seven days sooner than if we did
.

it through the normal channels. Z`m sorry I don',t hear the evidence that apparently
Mr. Aozza heairs and z would like to ask the attorney if he feels he has sufficient
record thi.s mozning to de�end the motion.
Byrne: I had re�rained earlier i.n maki.ng that comment. I think primarily the duty
of weighing and assessing the evidence is on the members of the committee but my
view would be that there is the state of the evidence in the record is not what I
would like it to be in going to court, in District Court. I would not like to say
- more because i� the comntittee does deny the application and I do go to court I am
going to hear my own words back at me from Mr. Danna.
Hozza: I would like to respond to Mr. Sylvester's comment and I do this in a friendly
manner. Mr. Sylvester, I would not have made the motion if I didn't believe there
wasn't sufficient evidence which would either on the Council or in the caurt of law
sustain the motion. T think w� would be kidding everyone here if there was not
sufficient evidence. However, the city is charged with protecting the pubZic health,
safety and welfare. I think that the evidence here in terms of traff ic conditions,
in terms of children in the neighborhood, in terms of other liquor establishments
and the conversation about the density of liquor establishments clearly indicated that
this would be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare. It is on. that
� basis, and that basis alone, that I make the motion. I recognize that it may go to
court bu*_ I wouldn't want to waste everybody's time if I didn't think the motion
couldn't �z sustained.
Hunt: I am prepared to support the motion but I do think that we have to recognize
that probably in this instance just as in many other instances there is goi.ng to be
some kind of precedence set as to zahat might happen in the courts. We have gone
through this to a certain extent on the granting of permits for fast-food instal2ations.
We found in a number of instances that just because an item had to come before the.
Council for the granting of a permit to operate a fast food permit, because there
was some concern that this might be in conflict with what migh� happen in the neighbor-
hood, this was not enough of a basis on which the Council could deny these permits
and in a number of instances when it went to court the Council was overruled. How-
ever, I guess in this particular instance we have not established much of a precedence
wi.th the court in the granting of these kinds of license transfers sa perhaps it may
be that in the long run the courts may ha.ve to help set the precendent for what takes
place. I think in voting for this motion I think we have to point out to the neigh-
borhood affected that in many other instances because of the zoning there is on this
particular piece of property, there are many kinds of commercial developments that
could take place without the matter coming before the CQUncil. So, the denial of
this license - transfer - in the long run might not mean that there might not be
other businesses that would locate there that would gresent some o€ the same problems
such as traffic in the neighborhood. I don`t think anyoneshould go away with the
false hope that the City Council is in a position to deny any kind of business that
might want to locate there because it would present some traffic problems.
Levine: Having not been very familiar with the operation of this committee, I am
familiar with the way we build a record in the City Development Committee on matters
that have come before us on fast-food restaurants and other establishments where
similar types of discussions have taken place. And, I have seen it both ways, I
ha.ve seen the Council take a matter before it and not build an adequate record and
go to court and have it turned around immediately and I have seen us build an
adequate record. In this case, I listened to Commissioner Hozza's comments and
took very careful notes on alI the speakers that appeared before us today. It appears
to me that if Mr. Hozza is correct, and I have every reason to believe that he is,
� � � Minutes of Meeting of License & �ublic Sa�et� Committee of the Whole, June g� Z977
Page 7 � .
as I read the notes z have taken here we have had comments from the residents on
�I the residential plan of the nei.ghbozhood, traf�ic statistics, �acts of the area.
One resident - tza��zc. �e have had moze i.n thi.s record than just listening to
the people say they didn't want a certaa.n type o� establ�shment. Now, it seems
to me from iay past experience that i,f the same holds true that this would be a
record that would be certainly somewhat adequate. To what degree and how the
courts look at it, I don't think anyone knows, even our own attorney. I would
expect a comment on that. I think the residents, whoever indicated' to them, Mr.
_ Tedesco or someone from the committee, that it was important to build a record,
I think they did set out this morning to build:that kind of a record. I was on
Arcade Street last night speaking to a group at the Palish American Club and a
6ouple o� people came up to me and said we are going to come down; we have done
our homework on this matter and we are going to come do� with some facts and
figures. It looks like they have. T don't know that we can ever judge ahead of
time but it looks like the neighbors have done an adequate amount of work.
Roedler: I would like to make a statement if I could. I w4nt to say it again
and I have said it before. The fact that the applicant contacted our License
Inspector--I don't know if anybody caught that--but he contacted our License
Inspector. He wanted to transfer this license into an area somewhere other than
. the East Side. If I am not mistaken it was in the liquor patrol limits and he
was told he couldn't do it. Now, I am going to vote in favor of the motion, but
as I stated earlier - and I live on the East Side - I think you are being cheated.
I don't think you are getting a fair shake on the East Side. I think you have
too damn many liquor licenses and you are going to have them until we get the
patrol limits lifted. Now, every time I bring it up down here I never hear another
member of this Council join in with me. I have never heard the Chairman of the
Committee join in with me. I would like to know just how everybody on this Council
feels about it. Not only the Council but Senator Chenoweth, Representative Waldorf
and we alrea�iy know Repres�ntative Ke11y is going to bring in legislation to reduce
the liquor licenses in St. Paul to 150. Isn't that what he is going to da? Gentle-
men, I don`t want to belabor it but I feel very strongly about this because I tttink
the East Side and other parts of this city are carrying an unequal burden, and I
don`t ti�ink it is fair.
Roll call on motion: Hozza, aye
Hunt, aye
Levine, aye
Roedler, aye
Sylvester, no . _
Tedesco, aye
Hozza: I didn't want to discuss it before the motion was voted on but either Mr.
Byrne or Mr. Carchedi - why is Prior and Thomas in the patrol limits?
Byrne: I believe the patrol limits on the north go up to the city Zine - right up
to the Fair Grounds.
Hozza: I'm sorry, I wasn't aware of that. I thought they stopped at University.
Carchedi: Patrol limits are 200 f eet east of Snelling, west to the• city limits.
From the middle of St. Clair Avenue, north to the city limits. That is the patro�
limits.
