Morse, Gambling Manager, St. Paul Wrestling Club, Gambling Manager License at 731 Randolph Avenue Andrew E. Morse, Gambling Manager of the St. Paul Wrestling Club, has applied for a Gambling Manager's License at 731 Randolph Avenue. This license is considered Class N; therefore, neighbors were notified. 1 received one letter by the scheduled response date of April 6, 2006. The ietter was received from Kaarin Long. There was no address listed on the envelope or the letter. There was also no phone number listed. Ms. Long's objection is that the Lucky Foxx has been a nuisance with noise, traffic, litter, fights, people shouting, and loud music. Also, Ms. Long indicated that the bar is supposed to provide a bouncer, but Ms. Long has never seen one stand outside the bar. Finally, she indicated that the only thing the bar has done to reduce noise is to keep the doors shut. Ms. Long feels that past problems should prohibit this bar from receiving further approval from the City. Racquel Naylor, Secretary, tried to find a phone number for Ms. Long through various means. directed her to call the West Seventh/Fort Road Federation. She was given a phone number, but the person at that number said that she was not Ms. Long. Ms. iVaylor also asked Barb Benson, Secretary to Councilmember Thune, for assistance, and she was unable to find a phone number for Ms. Long. Ms. Benson indicated that Ms. Long's concerns have nothing to do with the Gambling Manager license and that af1 the concerns are involving the Lucky Foxx. Given the above information, I am recommending that the City Council approve the resolution to grant the license for the St. Paui Wrestfing Club for the foflowing two reasons: 1) it appears that Ms. Long does not want to be reached regarding her letter because she did not include an address or phone number, 2) the concerns in the letter have nothing to do with the St. Paul Wrestling Club. c: Christine Rozek and Kristine Schweinler, LIEP CITY HALL THIRD FLOOR 15 WEST KELLOGG SOULEVARD SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 55102-1615 � AA-ADA£EO Employer _ . m. _, _R,acquel Naylor - St Paul Wrestling Foxx 2 doc Page 2 ��l ��, LICENSE APPLICATION NOTIFICATION License Number: 20060000835 Purpose: Application for Gambling Manager's License.

I am writing in �osition to the application for gambiing manager's licensing for this establishment. This entity has been a nuisance to our neighborhood since it opened. There has been increased noise, trafFic, iittering, and even vomit in my yard due to the presence of the Lucky Fo�oc. There have been loud and violent fights in the street, people shouting at all hours of the night, loud music from either the bar or the vehicle stereos of its patrons. Importantly, there has never ever been any effort by the bar to deal with the prab!�rns i# crestes fer cur neigh�orhoad. 1n talking with !!EP representat+.ves a�au± my concerns, I understand that the bar is supposed to provide some sort of bouncer or person outside to subdue al( the noise and commotion by patrons, but since its inception I have never once seen a bar employee stand outside the bar. The only thing I can say that they have done to reduce noise is keep the doors shut — although time and warmer weather will tell if that remains true. My point in all of this is that I find it hard to believe that the city would reward such a place with additional licensure to bring even more people, cars, and noise into our family neighborhood after all the trouble experienced by this place. I believe that past problems should serve to prohibit this bar from receiving any further approval from the city of St Paul. Once those problems are managed, perhaps they can apply again, but I hope this application will be denied. Respectfully, Ka-�-�=w �^ Kaarin Long neighborhood resident , �. ��R `.� �E� 2QD6 �
