ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—OCTOBER 29, 2012 5 <br /> City Administrator Klaers asked that the Council approve the resolution. If the Council does <br /> not like the section dealing with the square footage of the unit sizes, then those numbers can be <br /> discussed at a work session. He noted that changing the language in the ordinance would require <br /> a public hearing. <br /> Mayor Grant stated that the moratorium should be lifted. <br /> Councilmember Holmes agreed that the moratorium should be lifted, but that it does not <br /> preclude the City from amending the ordinance at a later date. <br /> Councilmember Holden stated that she does not want too much time to pass before the topic is <br /> discussed again. <br /> Mayor Grant suggested that this topic be put on the agenda for the January City Council <br /> meeting. <br /> MOTION: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Werner seconded a <br /> motion to adopt Resolution 92012-038 — Resolution Rescinding Ordinance <br /> 2012-005 and to Lift the Moratorium on Multi-Family Dwelling Units.

She also noted that a City Code amendment is also required to create two new types of <br /> liquor licenses for on and off-sale sales of malt liquor brewed on site. <br /> Mayor Grant inquired as to whether or not staff has talked with the applicant regarding <br /> compliance checks and what would happen if he would fail. He also questioned if the applicant <br /> would be selling spirits. <br /> Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that the applicant is aware of the <br /> compliance checks that are performed by the alcohol enforcement agent; however, she personally <br /> has not had a conversation with him regarding the penalties for failing to comply.
