He is appearing on behalf of the neighbors who submitted petifions. He expected them to be here today. He is merely acting in a supportive role. The District 7 Planning Council submitted no letter because they did not receive complaints. Complaints have been fimneled through the Thomas Dale Block Club. Mr. Strathman asked haue any complaints been considered informally. Mr. Datrielson responded only among staff and never reviewed by the boazd. Even though Mr. Danielson does not have an official position from District 7, Mr. Strathinan asked, what does staff think about this license application. Mr. Danielson responded any parking problems aze because there aze two establishments on this corner and a lot of activity. There are complaints of prostitution outside because there is so much activity on the corner. There is some concern about activities in the billiard club after the business is closed. Monitoring should be done after hours. Mr. Strathman stated the records do not show any adverse action against the business in the past. Mr. Danielson responded that is why there is no letter of objection from District 7. In the last 6�-�� LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINUTES - HiJNG BILLIARDS - 995 University Avenue VJest few weeks, objections came in that there were problems in the past. He does not know why the complaints haue come in all of a sudden. Also, it happens quite often within District 7 that people do not know where to go so they complain to neighbors instead of the proper authorities. Mr. Stratlunau stated he received a letter attached to the petitions that contained the following issues: rubbish, drinlcing, fights, drug use, loud music, firecrackers or gunshots, urinaiing in the pazldng lot, cazs rewing their engines. The petition contains 54 signatures. It came in an envelope from A. F. Schwarz, 1011 Sherburne Avenue, and the Thomas Dale Block Club, 1034 Lafond Avenue. The following appeazed: Hung Nguyen, owner, and Ken Bottema, attorney, 210 Second Street North #50, Minneapolis. Mr. Bottema stated that Mr. Nguyen purchased the business in the spring. None of the complaints can be attached to the business. There is a baz on the corner. People rev theu motors and throw trash out there. He and the owner pick up the parking lot every morning. There is a fence in the pazking lot to prevent people from traveling into the alley. The majority of the problems happen after 12:00 when the billiazd hall closes, the bar lets out, and people enter the pazking lot. The parking lot is massive and there aze plenty of parking spaces. Mr. Nguyen is familiar with the conditions placed on the previous license application. Mr. Nguyen asks that the licenses be issued, and he will comply with the conditions previously established. Mr. Strathman stated he has empathy for the neighbors regardless of which establishment the problems are resulring from; however, Mr. Strathman does not believe the materials submitted and the testnnony received rise to the level of being the basis for denying the licenses. If the owner violates the conditions, it could be the basis for an adverse action against the licenses. Mr. Bottema responded he has explained that to the owner. Gerry Strathman granted the licenses with the conditions that the owner has agreed to, which are as follows: 1. Business will close no later than 11:00 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and 12:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday; 2.
