The event, which was held in the parking lot of Flaherty's Arden Bowl, included a motorcycle ride, live music, and 3.2 beer sales. No issues from last year's event were reported. Staff has received applications for this year's event, which will be held on July 14, 2012. Consideration Because the event includes live music, Mr. Flaherty has submitted an application for an Outdoor Concert license. A copy of the license application is attached. City Code requires Council approval for the issuance of such a license. Mr. Flaherty is also submitting an application for a Temporary 3.2 Beer On-Sale Only license. Last year's event brought in approximately 20 motorcyclists. It is anticipated that the number of motorcyclists will be closer to 100 this year. Two portable toilets will be provided and Flaherty's has security guards on staff that will be present for the event. Staff Review Commercial Building Inspector, Dave Scherbel, has approved the proposed layout for this event. No permits are required for the tents because they are sma11 pop-up tents less than 120 square feet in size. The stage height is less than 30 inches so it is considered a platform rather than a structure and does not require a permit. Seating will consist of folding chairs; no bleachers will be used so there is no permit required for the seating. Fire Marshal, Rick Current, also approved the proposed layout for the event with the condition that a fire extinguisher be present at the food tent. Mr. Flaherty has also been informed tliat he needs to contact Mike Crider, Ramsey County Health Inspector, regarding the serving of food.
