WHEREAS, the Council finds that these efforts constitute a good faith effort to fulfill all petition
requirements, and that the results of the attempts to obtain signatures showed a generally favorable
disposition from the surrounding community toward the proposed licensed activity; and
WHEREAS, the Council finds that issuance of the license will not interfere with the reasonable use
and enjoyment of neighboring property and residences and will not bear adversely on the health, safety,
morals and general welfare of the community; and
WHEREAS, the Council finds that the application is in order and there are no grounds for denial of
the license and that the failure to grant the waiver and the consequent delay in approving the license would
cause exceptional and unusual hardship to the license applicant; and
WHEREAS, the licensee agrees that in the event a complaint is received prior to the expiration of
the 45-day period and the complaint provides a basis for adverse action against the license, that the
Department of Safety and Inspections may direct the licensee to immediately discontinue all operations
until a public hearing is scheduled, and that the licensee shall comply with said directive; now, therefore,
be it,

Re: Shamrocks Sidewalk Patio
To Whom It May Concern:
First and foremost, I want to thank you for your time in reviewing
our plan. Over the last year or so, we have been attempting to receive
signatures from neighbors and businesses regarding our sidewalk cafe. We
have sent out two mailings to neighbors with self addressed, self posted
envelopes and have received a fairly substantial number of these back.
What we didn't get returned and signed, we went door to door trying to
get the remainder of them. This, by which is very hard to time right.
Although we received a few going door to door, we did miss some people
due to them not being home from work, or maybe they were eating dinner
and didn't get up or for a hundred other reasons. However, I feel we made
a just try in receivang signatures and in doing so, have what I believe to be
16 signatures which own 20 properties in the area.
A letter of Insurance was faxed over to the city's office and should be
on record. We have insured this area with the City of St. Paul as an
undersigned. If another one is needed for some chance I can provide that
to you at a future time.
We are intending to sell intoxicating liquor on the sidewalk cafe and
have a few ideas for the control of beverages being consumed by our
patrons. First we will be using rolling flower pots to section off the area
used for dining and drinking from the general public. (See Diagram) These
flower pots can then be pushed against the building at the end of the night
. ,
09-631
and the tables and chairs will be placed inside the restaurant until the
following business day. Second, we will have wait staff taking
responsibility of these tables during the day and into the evening hours.
On long and busy nights, such as Thursday, Friday, and Saturday's, along
with any big events we will have door men(bouncers) keeping an extra eye
on this area. We also have a camera that has been placed out side so we
can visually see this area at all hours of that business day.
I know that these maters take some time in developing, and I would
like to ask for a speedy application acceptance. If there are any future
matter that we need to resolve. Please don't hesitate to call me (651)485-
1383. I thank you again for your time, We are very excited to be along
West 7`�' and are txying daily to make improvements to our neighborhood.
This will be a wonderful place for St. Paul families to enjoy there short
summers and we would be happy to serve them.
