Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, October 9, 1990 Page 6 CASE #90-14 (Cont'd) CounciJ1nember Growe also stated opposition to the . proposal, due to the moratorium enacted by eouncil action this evening. She advised she recently viewed the interior of the bingo hall and there appears to be enough space inside to enclose an area for nonsmoking. Growe also expressed concern that the hard-surfaced area has not been installed over the past four years the hall has been in operation. counciJ1nember Malone questioned if the paving of the parking lot area was a condition of approval when the original site plan was reviewed by eouncil in 1986. Planner Bergly stated the eouncil action did not specifically require the paving, however, hard-surfaced area is required by City code. Malone explained in an I-1 District the wIding meets =ent code and the applicant sul:rnitted the application one month prior to the iIrq:x:>Sition of the moratorium. CounciJ1nember Malone suggested if approval is granted the applicant be advised the monies spent on expansion of the facility will not be recouped in the future, based on the proposed development guidelines and rezoning of the area and that in'provement of the parking area be a condition of approval. Mayor Sather agreed with CounciJ1nember Malone that theoapplication be considered for action and stated it may be difficult for legal counsel to defend action to deny based on the moratorium iIrq:x:>Sition. He also agreed the applicant should be . required to install the paved area within a thirty day period. Marlyn DaIrnnan, representing American Business Women's Association, stated she is appalled by the condition of the bingo hall and Council should review the operation of the hall. IJa1nI'ran confirmed that there is sufficie.nt area inside the facility to enclose an area for nol1SlOClking patrons. She reviewed the recent dispute between management and renters of the facility regarding the amount of space and cost of rental; indicated the management is requesting the addition to justify higher rental fees for the charities operating at the hall. CounciJ1nember Malone stated the city cannot regulate the operation of the bingo hall management, only regulate the building meeting code requirements. Malone moved, seconded by Sather, to approve the site Plan Review, Case #90-14, for a building addition at the Pot 0 Gold Bingo Hall, 3776 Connolly, subject to the property owner being notified of the following: l. That with the intended rezoning of the property, the building will become nonconforming and future modifications will not be pennitted without upgrading of the facility; 2. That a building pennit for the addition will not be issued until the surfacing of the parking area is installed in the northwest area of the site to aCCClll1lOOdate parking and meet code requirements; and, 3. That ten additional parking spaces will be added in the northeast corner of the site, to aCCClll1lOOdate removal of parking for the building addition, and the railroad spur removed, prior to issuance of a building pennit. Motion failed. (Malone, Sather voting in favor; Hansen, Growe and Mahowald opposed) (2-3) .. Planner Bergly recommended that action for denial of the application include rationale.
