people have a chance to voice their concerns. If anyone has a concern, it automatically triggers a
hearing. Other Class N Licenses include: tattoo parlors, auto repair, auto sales, etc.—things that have
an immediate impact on the neighborhood. In this case, the City received six (6) letters of
objection/concern to this license. There are three (3) possible results from this hearing: 1) Ms.
Moermond may recommend that the City Council issue this license without any conditions; 2) she may
remmmend that the City Council issue this license with agreed upon conditions; or 3) she may
recommend that the City Council not issue this license but refer it to an administrative law judge for a
further hearino and findings.
The hearing will begin with a report from Yhe Departrnent of Safety and Inspections (DSI). Staff will be
asked to explain their review ot the application and to state their recommendation. Next, Ms.
Moermond will ask the applicant to talk about the business plan. Then, she will hear from people who
are here in support of the issuance of the license and those wifih concerns about the issuance of the
license. At the end of the hearing, she will make a recommendation for the City Council to consider.
Her recommendation will be on the Consent Agenda. The City Council is the final authority on
whether the license is approved or denied.
Ms. Christine Rozek, Department of Safety and Inspections (DSI), reported that DSI staff recommends

and Sarixrday night to ensure a safe and secure environment for the public and their
employees. Security personnel are in addition to bartenders, servers and cooks (staff
assigned to these duties are not considered part of the security staff�, and shall wear
clothing that clearly identifies them as security. The licensee and security staff shall be
responsible for monitoring both the interior and exterior of the premises, and shall patrol
the parking lot area on a regular basis to discourage loitering.
All of the inspection requirements have been met.
Ms. Moermond asked if the business was operating with a management agreement now. Ms. Rozek
responded that it is not; the establishment is currently closed. Mr. Snyder explained that he ancl Lois
got the business back through foreclosure. Mr. Paul Mateyka, Lois Snyder's son, had previously been
listed on the property ownership and license but is not at this time. Mr. Snyder said that they want to
revive the business and make it successful again. After a few years of success, they intend to sell it.
Mr. Synder submitted their business plan for the file. He also submitted it to the attendees at the
district meeting he attended. Realizing what had happened to the business over the past six (6) years,
he listed plans to help the business recover, trying to address and eliminate the problems that existed,
which the neighborhood was most concemed about:
changed name to Bay Street Grill and Bar, emphasizing food rather than alcohol
display signs remindino patrons to respect the neighborhood
want to be known for excellent food, first
food service will be from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week with food specials
no pool table
}uke box volume will be controlled; it will also contain a filter to cancel vulgar lyrics.
Texas Hold'em will be discontinued
2 a.m. closing nights will be only Thursday, Friday and Saturday
A security person will be on duty Friday and Saturday nights; he will patrol outside the
building as well
10-762
eliminate smoking in the rear of the building, directing smokers to the east side of the
building and the front.
more lighting has been installed outside
no trash dumping between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m.
no motorcycle parking on the sidewalk; signs have been erected.
Mr. Snyder said that he left the district council meeting with good feelings that the neighborhood
supported their ideas for improvement and were willing to let them give it a try. T`he police have
approved their camera system. Mr. Snyder and some of his staff will be getting instructions for
crearing a disc. There are seven (7) cameras inside and one (1) outside. They have agreed with and
complied with all of the conditions.
Ms. Moermond said that she was somewhat confused when she saw that Mr. Mateyka was listed as a
previous license holder at this site, yet the applicarion listed him as a manager and then there was a
letter saying that Mr. Snyder was going to be the manager. Mr. Mateyka explained that the
neighborhood doesn't want him to manage it, so Ed will be the manager. Mr. Mateyka will be an
employee and provide his experience of 25 years. He owned Dean's Tavem on Rice Street for fourteen
(14) years and sold it last year. Mr. Mateyka will help out and advise but Ed and Lois will have the
final say. Mr. Snyder will be there everyday except when he and his wife go on vacation. He will do
the bookwork and buying, etc. Mr. Mateyka will be on site mostly at night, especially the busier nights;
he will tend bar one (1) night a week. They will employee about twelve (12) staff. A bartender will be
acting manager when Mr. Snyder or Mr. Mateyka is not present. Mr. Mateyka noted that he o�vns the
business at 2045 Marshall Avenue, Suds America, a laundry and tanning operation; and he owns a
house in Saint Paul.
Ms. Lois Snyder added that they have already put up signs to respect the neighborhood. The
cameras are in and the lights outside have been repaired. The juke box will play only rock'n
roll and country music. Mr. Snyder chimed in that "litter° has been a common complaint and
so, their cleaning person has been instructed to police the area everyday, including the next
door neighbor's yard and the alley. Also, he withdrew the application for a 2 a.m. closing. He
hopes that they might be able to reconsider a 2 a.m. closing after a year of operation.
Ms. Rozek asked whom neighbors or DSI can call when there are complaints. Mr. Snyder
responded that he has already been very explicit on that. He wants to hear about the
complaints; he wants to know what's going on. Ms. Rozek asked if they could call him if there
is a disturbance at bar closing at 1 a.m. Mr. Snyder replied that he would want to know. He
gave the neighbors his cell phone number (651-328-9014) and his email address. Mr.
Mateyka's phone number is 651-260-7981. Ms. Rozek asked Mr. Snyder what kind of clientele
is expected after 10 p.m. when they are no longer serving food. Mr. Snyder responded that he
would like to see,the old clientele coming back; neighborhood people. Ms. Rozek added that
making a disc is a very important piece and it will be necessary to have someone on the
premises who knows how to do it because sometimes the police officer wants the disc right
away. Mr. Snyder added that Officer Parsons was very explicit about that. Ms. Rozek said
that she has heard that there might be some issue with ownership of the contents of the
10-762
building. Mr. Snyder said that they own everything in the building. There is a question
waiting for an arbitrator's decision. The parking lot, the cage around the dumpsters, the office,
the bar and the booths are in arbitrarion. A judge asked that an arbitration date was to take
place within 9Q days; however, the other party won't respond to setting a date. Time will be
up the day after tomorrow. They are unsure about what may happen next. They intend to
replace anything that they might lose.
Public Testimonv
Mr. David Bradshaw, representing Patricia Peterson, spoke with concerns particularly about
noise along Randolph and Bay Street well past 3 a.m., which is where there were previous
problems with Lucky Foxx. Some patrons would remain in front of Lucky Foxx using
threatening and abusive language most of the time. The neighbors were not able to keep their
windows open during the summer. Ms. Peterson noted that if there will be security cameras
only in the rear of the building, this behavior along Bay Street and Randolph Avenue will be
missed. Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Bradshaw if he had ever witnessed this behavior while he
was at Ms. Petersori s home. Mr. Bradshaw said that he had. Once there was a fight going on
together with loud squealing car tires and shouts of "We'll be back!° Staff had already gone
and there was no video record.
Ms. Linda Schmit, neighbor, noted that she lived in the neighborhood in 2004 when new
owners were taking over and she had expressed her concerns at that time. In 2004, her
concerns were with respect to the establishment that the Mateykas had run. Nothing changed.
There are a lot of issues with the establishment: noise, tires squealing, motorcycles revving at
2:00 a.m., people lingering after 2:00 a.m., very loud fights and lots of trash/litter around the
building and the neighborhood. Sunday night was the noisiest night; she would appreciate
having additional monitoring andJor additional security. Sunday night attracted a lot of
motorcycles. Ms. Moermond asked about her observations of the over-service conclusion
reached in her letter of concern. Ms. Schmit replied that many people left the bar with an
altered gait and were very loud with their slurry language.
Mr. Mike Strufelder, neighbor, noted that he has been living there for twenty-five (25) years.
He agrees with the concerns of the previous speakers. He recommends that a camera be
placed outside the east side of the building on Bay and one on the southeast side on Randolph.
The front, side and back should all be camera covered. He understands that many of the
concerns will continue regardless of who owns/manages the estaUlishment; however, if the
security person were responsible and capable, many of these concerns could be
limited/resolved; and the neighborhood would be more satisfied. Diligently and consistently
policing the area for litter will also increase the neighbors' satisfaction. He stated that he
doesri t have a problem with the bar but admits that it has been nice being quiet during the
time it has been shut down. He feels that if the concerns are addressed and kept up, and the
bar owner cooperates with neighbors, it can work out for everyone.

10-762
Mr. Mike Barodt, neighbor, has lived in this neighborhood for seventeen (1� years. He stated
that he had been an employee of Paul Mateyka from 1991-1995. He said that the problems
stated by the neighbors seemed to have escalated when Lucky Foxx took over in 2004. The
owner brought in a different clientele; many of her friends/acquaintances from North
Minneapolis did not mix with the neighborhood. However, there were no shootings and no
one was stabbed. Every bar has some fights; and people are outside because they are no
longer allowed to smoke inside. Mr. Barodt said that he is going to be working in the
restaurant. People who have talked with him were anxious for the bar to open. He feels that
they can bring something good to the neighborhood. He has twenty (20) years of experience in
the kitchen; he's a butcher by trade and has a lot of great ideas to make this business work. He
has been laid off for almost a year and he is anxious to get back to work. This business will
provide twelve (12) people with work.
Mr. Robert Bowman, neighbor, lives five houses down from this establishment. He sais that
the previous owner brought in a crowd that likes "gangster rap" and an East Side crowd, as
well, many of whom were actually gang members. He and his wife went to the Lucky Foxx
numerous times to have a night cap and they got to know some of the clientele who were gang
members from the East Side and Minneapolis. They were allowed to congregate there by the
previous owner. Neighborhood people would stop there during the day and for lunch;
around 6 p.m., the neighborhood people would leave. Many people would not go there at all
because of the type of clientele and the type of music being played. At night, there were no
neighborhood people at all. Ms. Moermond asked if the gang members were from one (1)
particular gang. Mr. Bowman responded that several gangs were represented. He thinks that
was where the majority of problems were coming from. If the new owners' plans go through,
he thinks the gang element will be gone. At first, they may return to check it out. Tt may take
a couple of months to weed those people out. He noted that he is an acquaintance of Paul
Mateyka. Regarding Deari s Tavern, he said that he and his wife had frequented it many
times. It was a very nice establishment and he never saw any problems there. He and his wife
had their wedding reception at Dean's Tavern with over 300 people in attendance, who
commented on the wonderful food, the fine accommodations and how well-run the place was.
Mr. Greg Tervola, who lives near Cherokee Park, stated that he has been a personal friend of
Paul Mateyka for thirty (30) years so he has seen him going through all of the transitions. He
has had four (4) businesses and has become very successful at managing them. He likes Paul's
idea for changing this bar to a neighborhood bar first of all by changing the name to Bay Street
Grill and Bar, emphasizing food over alcohol. He has also known Ed since he has moved back
to Saint Paul. Both Ed and Lois are very conservative and they want to run this place that
way. Mr. Tervola will be employed as a bartender and a security person on weekends.
Ms. Betty Moran, West Seventh Street Federation, addressed the hearing thinking that a better
system needs to be in place when a problem arises in the early morning hours other than
10-762
calling Ed, who then will call the bartender. She was also concerned that the security
personnel might choose to avoid a problem rather than deal with it. She knows that several
people who live near the bar have set up their own cameras. There is no shortage of bars
along West 7"' but this is the only bar that seems to have had on-going problems, even going
back before the previous owners. Ms. Moermond asked what is unique about this parficular
bar or location that may have contributed to the problems. Ms. Moran noted the lack of
respect that the past owners have had for the neighborhood.
NIs. Lois Snyder stated that during all of the eighteen (18) years they ran the bar previously,
they never had a citation or been taken to court. Once in 1994 or 1995, when a sting was set
up, the bartender gave an underage girl change for the cigarette machine. She added that they
are unable to put the cameras out front because of the awnings.
Mr. Snyder noted that he had asked a police officer to look up police reports on the bar prior to
Lucky Foxx and there were none.
Mr. Mateyka referred to the letter of objection written by Mr. Frank Petersen, who stated that
he didn't want Paul to be involved with the bar. Mr. Mateyka stated that he didri t want any
of the neighbors to feel such animosity towards him and he is willing to sit down and have a
conversation with Mr. Petersen. He wants to work out whatever is concerning Mr. Petersen,
who seems to be a leader in the community. Mr. Snyder added that he thinks that Mr.
Petersen is the person he needs to be in contact with as a liaison for the community. In
respvnse to Ms. Moran, Mr. Snyder stated that a phone call to him at 12:30 a.m. will get a
response. The success of this business is important for many reasons and anything he can do
to help take care of potential problems will be his objective.
Mr. Mateyka noted that back in the 90s, he was told not to call the police because the number
of police calls could affect the license in a negative way; now, that has changed. Now, they
want you to call the police; the police are there to help.
Ms. Moermond reviewed the letters of concern/objecrion.
Ms. Moermond asked Ms. Rozek about customary conditions regarding trash. Ms. Rozek
responded that iYs not unusual to have a license condition that would require trash pick-up
not only around the licensed property but also some of the surrounding properties. Ms.
Moermond recommended adding such a condition, with a 100 foot radius of the property. Mr.
Snyder added that they have instructed their cleaning person to police the area on a daily
basis; and they will police the yard of the lady next door.
Ms. Moermond stated that the problem people who frequented Lucky Foxx are likely to come
back after the place is opened up again to check it out. The situation will need to be
addressed. Mr. Snyder responded that they are hoping, since iYs been closed since the second
0
10-762
week of December 2009, many of them will have already found a new locarion in which to
hang out. If the problematic clientele does come back, their favorite game of pool will no
longer be there; their favorite music will no longer be played on the juke box; the
entertainment of Texas Hold'em will no longer be there; and their favorite kind of alcohol will
no longer be stocked. Hopefully, they will no longer want to be there, either. Mr. Mateyka
added that their first priority will be food, not alcohol; the kitchen will be open from 7:30 a.m.
-10:00 p.m., Monday - Saturday. Three full-time cooks have aiready been hired; perhaps,
more part-rime cooks will be hired. They put in all new kitchen equipment. They are going to
try hard to change the environment and discourage the previous problematic clientele.
Ms. Rozek stated that DSI would like to make sure that the establishment's security personnel
are clearly marked so when a police officer comes, he will know immediately who to talk with.
She wants to remind the applicants that it's really important to call the police when there is
trouble but to remember that the police are not the bar's bouncers. They expect the
establishment to deal with common problems. Some of the things that have taken place in the
past sound to Ms. Rozek as though they may have happened because of over-service. She
asked the applicants how they intend to make sure that over-service does not happen Mr.
Snyder responded that they will hire experience bartenders; bartenders will not be drinking
behind the bar; and alcohol awareness training will be provided. The applicants agreed to put
alcohol awareness training for their employees as a condition on the license. Ms. Rozek added
that providing the training would make them eligible for a discount on their insurance and
license. Alcohol awareness training is offered very frequently; the City has two (2) vendors
and they are very flexible about scheduling.
Regarding security cameras, Ms. Moermond noted that providing more cameras was brought
up in the letters. Mr. Mateyka stated that they now have six (6) cameras on the inside and one
(1) on the outside. The camera system they leased holds eight (8) cameras, so they have one
spot left. They would like to put cameras out front; however, the awnings prevent them from
putting them up and if they put them under the awnings, the cameras will be stolen. Mr.
Snyder added that the awnings provide a bright light source to help deter trouble. T'hey plan
to have security personnel walk around the perimeter at least every thirty (30) minutes.
Mr. Sarodt added that he has seen the camera system operate and it takes in a lot of territory;
he finds it to be sufficient. Mr. Bradshaw commented that not having cameras in front and on
the side of the building is not sufficient. That is where the problematic activity has previously
taken place.
Ms. Moermond noted that a unique thing about this situation is Mr. Metayka having been
listed on the license application and then having removed himself, and a neighbar being
concerned about his name being listed on the license. She asked Ms. Rozek the material
differences between being an employee versus being the manager listed on the license. Ms.
Rozek responded that there really isn't much. DSI defines manager as someone who does the
10-762 '
hiring and firing, handles the finances, orders supplies and sets the policy for the business.
She doesn't think that it will make any difference, materially. His name is not on the license;
he will not be the responsible party but he will be there.
Ms. Rozek noted that Officer Parsons evaluates security camera situations. She suggested that
Officer Parsons be asked to come out and take a look to see if it would do any good to add a
camera; if iYs even possible. Ms. Moermond agreed. Ms. Rozek will contact him by email.
Ms. Moermond stated that she would like to have someone check the outside of the
establishment on an hourly basis after 9 p.m. each evening for the next year. After a year, that
condition will switch to "as needed," if things are under mntrol.
Ms. Moermond asked the applicants how soon they would be able to replace the items they
might lose in arbitration. Mr. Snyder replied that they would replace them as soon as possible.
Ms. Moermond suggested that they send a letter to the neighbors listing Mr. Snyder's and Mr.
Mateyka's phone numbers just in case it is necessary to contact them. They both agreed. She
encouraged the applicants to also add as much information as possible to the Certificate of
Occupancy and to keep it current. Officers tend to look there for phone numbers.
Mr. Rozek summarized additional conditions:
- daily litter pick up within a 1�0 foot radius
- atcohol awareness training annually
- security check outside for problems hourly for one year
- back door used as exit only
- security camera evaluation by SPPD to determine location
Ms. Moermond stated that she would like Officer Parsons choose the location for the eighth
camera. Also, the garbage needs to be screened (not a condition); and a receptacle be placed in
