MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 8, 2021 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator FROM: Julie Hanson, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Northern Lights Bingo Liquor License and Concept Plan
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
For Council Consideration
Council may provide direction regarding a potential new liquor license for the new Northern
Lights Bingo (formerly Pot-O-Gold Bingo) located at 3776 Connelly Avenue.
Background
Northern Lights Bingo (applicant) has submitted the required City and State applications and
associated paperwork (background check forms and insurance information) for a new liquor
license effective in 2022.
The liquor license will be presented to the Council for formal consideration of approval at its
regular meeting on December 13, 2021 together with the yearly renewals that are brought
forward each year. Because this a new use for this particular site/building, staff is requesting
Council direction on proceeding with the liquor license process. It should be noted that staff has
consulted with the City Attorney as bingo halls are not a typical location at which a liquor
license is pursued. That said, the City Attorney concurred that neither City Code nor State
Statute precludes a bingo hall from selling liquor. Based on this, staff is moving this application
forward for Council consideration with the caveat that the applicant attain the designation as a
restaurant, per City Code.
City Code, Chapter 5, Section 500.1, states that liquor licenses are issued to restaurants, and
restaurants are defined as “an establishment . . . under the control of a single proprietor or
manager, where meals are regularly prepared on the premises . . . and having a minimum seating
capacity for thirty (30) guests.”
Page 2 of 2
Northern Lights Bingo contains an area that is currently licensed with the City as Brightside Café
with limited seating. In order to qualify for a liquor license, the site must contain a restaurant that
can seat at least 30 patrons. In the concept plan submittals provided by the applicant (see
Attachment A Land Use Application and Attachment B Interior Floor Plans and Site Layout), the
proposed restaurant section would have a seating capacity for 32-36 patrons. The City Planner
has confirmed the subject property is located in the B-2 General Business District and that
restaurants are allowed as permitted uses within this district.
The Applicant Narrative (Attachment C) provides the applicant’s vision for the business which,
as one example, includes specific hours of liquor service. It should be noted that staff has advised
the applicant that hours of operation for liquor service cannot exceed that which are allowable by
City Code, Chapter 5, Section 500.16 Hours and Days of Sale (Subdivisions 1, 3, 5 and 6 below,
which mirror State Statute); however, the applicant can certainly be more restrictive regarding
the hours of sale.
• Subd. 1 On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor. No sale of intoxicating liquor for consumption on
the licensed premises may be made:
A. Between 2:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. on Monday through Saturday; or
B. After 2:00 a.m. on Sunday unless the licensee has also been issued a Sunday
onsale liquor license.
• Subd. 3 On-Sale 3.2% Malt Liquor. No sale of 3.2% malt liquor may be made between
2:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. on Monday through Saturday or after 2:00 a.m. on Sunday.
• Subd. 5 On-Sale Wine. No sale of wine may be made between 2:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m.
on Monday through Saturday or after 2:00 a.m. on Sunday.
• Subd. 6 Sunday On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor. Sales are permitted between the hours of
10:00 a.m. on Sunday and 2:00 a.m. on Monday in conjunction with the sale of food.
Based on the submitted layout and plan, this location meets City Code requirements for a
restaurant and therefore can pursue a liquor license. If Council is agreeable to this concept plan,
staff will facilitate the remainder of the liquor license application process, which includes fees
totaling $7,288 to be paid by the applicant for an on-sale intoxicating liquor license (wine, beer
and spirits), Sunday sales, and background investigation, and will bring forward said license for
formal City approval at the December 13 City Council meeting. Prior to issuance and release of a
license, staff will confirm the site has met the necessary requirements for seating.

Concept Review Narrative
At the Northern Lights Bingo Hall and Brightside Café we provide a captivating experience for
every person who comes through our doors.
Our Story:
Julie Standering, along with hardworking partners, purchased the Bingo Hall on October
31st, 2020, with the goal of creating a safe, clean, and enjoyable environment for all bingo
players throughout the local community.
Julie Standering grew up in Southern California and graduated from the University of
Arizona. There, she was a member of the Arizona Wildcat Softball team where she won a
National Championship. After her time in Arizona, Julie was the Head Softball Coach at the
University of Minnesota from 1991-2010. Since then, Julie has lived in Roseville for 30 years
and has gained tremendous pride in the Roseville community. Julie is currently the Head Softball
Coach at Roseville High School. Beyond softball, Julie is a highly successful businesswoman.
With the recognition of the elderly community in the local area along with the movement
of young families becoming residence in the Roseville area Julie saw a need to care for these
communities by opening a Café within the Bingo Hall. Julie’s mom, Ann, was extremely
inspirational in the vision for the Café. Ann passed away on the date the bingo hall was
purchased, but her legacy lives on. The café is named Brightside to honor Ann, who saw the
bright side in everything.
We would like to add the option of selling alcohol to our customers. We envision
reaching our patrons who are here for an afternoon out with their friends where they can enjoy an
adult beverage, while playing at their favorite bingo hall. For our seniors, time at Northern Lights
Bingo Hall is some of their only social time; and we want to provide an opportunity where they
can have amazing food, a glass of wine and play Bingo with the community they have built here.
Someday we would love to add an outdoor Farmer’s Market, again drawing people to our Bingo
Hall as well as our amazing community, which would only add to the entire experience for
populations we would like to reach.
During this season of planning for the possibility of a liquor license, Julie and her
administrative staff have surveyed loyal customers regarding alcohol and have received very
positive feedback overall. Some of the considerations we have taken into account are: two drink
limit per person, happy hour times, strict cut off times, and added security. The Northern Lights
Bingo Hall respects the responsibility that comes with a liquor license. We are committed to our
customers' safety, and we recognize the importance of upholding the laws and values of the
community when it comes to alcohol consumption.
Updates and Plans:
At Northern Lights Bingo Hall, we are committed to upholding the highest safety
standards while remaining compliant with the city and state code. Recently repaved and stripped,
our parking lot has the capacity for 148 spaces, falling within guidelines. Beyond parking
updates, the exterior of our building has been painted and the roof has been redone. Additionally,
we remodeled our kitchen to ensure city and state code is followed and we are able to adequately
serve our customers. These projects accrued a total of $450,000. We are invested in making our
space safe and our building inviting, as we welcome new community members and long-standing
patrons alike.
Our space is highly functional as it does not only service our Bingo Hall but also services
community members who want to grab a bite to eat in our Café. We have a welcome space, our
Café with a seating capacity of 32-36 people. Customers can eat in this space while waiting to
play bingo, an essential “Happy Hour” space. Customers who are not playing bingo can enjoy
our café as well and eat in this inviting space. We deliver food, take orders, and provide orders to
go upon request. All tables will have QR Codes with a full, detailed menu. In the future, there
will be an option of ordering from a high-tech kiosk. However, all alcohol orders will require a
face-to-face order from a staff member who will properly check ID’s.
We chose the serving in the welcome area for serving, as we have space for a bar and
access to display the menu. We have a plan of delegating needed space for bartenders with all
supplies needed in that area. In the future we would like to have a beverage and snack cart with a
cash bag and an electronic payment terminal.
In the next three months, the Northern Lights Bingo Hall will be contracting with a
professional security company to provide an on-site service. Our goal is to have a member of this
security team on duty during our Friday and Saturday Night Bingo sessions. If an incident
occurs, the security will be there, on the spot to intervene. Northern Lights Bingo Hall is
committed to upholding the safety of our patrons and staff, while providing an enjoyable
experience for all.
Hours of Operation:
Mondays we are Closed.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings our doors are open from 5:00 pm-10:00 pm (Bingo
sessions are at 6:00 pm and 8:15 pm). Proposed hours of liquor operations would be 5:00 pm-
9:00 pm.
Thursday mornings, our doors open at 10:30 am-1:00 pm am and we serve breakfast for our
matinee session and will have limited liquor options. Proposed hours of limited liquor operations
would be 10:30am-12:30pm
On Friday, our doors are open from 5:00 pm-11:00 pm with three bingo sessions (6:00 pm, 8:15
pm, and 10:00 pm). Proposed hours of liquor operations would be 5:00 pm-9:00 pm.
Saturday and Sunday doors are open from 3:00 pm - 9:00 pm with three sessions (4:00 pm, 6:00
pm 8:15 pm). Proposed hours of liquor operation will be 3:00 pm-7:00 pm.
Julie Standering and her professional staff ensure that the workers of both the Bingo Hall
and the Cafe are highly prepared. No staff member is hired without proper credentials and
thorough background checks. Once hired, we offer extensive on the job training, so our staff
members get hands-on experience while learning the best practices of service and operations.
Each staff member learns the values we hold regarding our professionalism, customer courtesy
and accountability.
The vision Julie Standering dreamt about turning an Arden Hills landmark property into a
revitalize place that offers an enjoyable and meaningful experience has become a reality. Her
determination, drive, and dedication to her customers has turned the Northern Lights Bingo Hall
and Brightside Café into a successful business. We believe the granting of a liquor license will
allow us to attract more business to the community of Arden Hills, offering benefits to our
business as well as the city. Julie Standering reminds all staff members or caring for the
customer above all else, adding the liquor license would only further this mission and increase
the value in this area.
Thank you for your consideration.

Re: Citywide Speed Limit Implementation Fees
Dear David,
As part of the ongoing City Council discussions on reducing speed limits within the City of Arden Hills, HR Green
has been asked to provide a scope of work a nd fee for the implementation of citywide 25 MPH speed limit signs.
The scope of work for the implementation includes the following:
Task 1 – Coordination - Coordinate with Ramsey County Traffic Engineer and Sherriff, and City of Shoreview on
sign locations to ensure signs are properly located for sight distances and obstructions, are allowed at locations in
ROW and are enforceable.
Task 2 – Field Verify Sign Locations/Confirm Sign Inventory/Update Speed Limit Sign Map - Visit proposed
sign locations to ensure signs are properly located, to ensure adequate visibility, location and to reduce “sign
pollution” (too many signs making the message ignorable). Confirm signs are in the City inventory and located
properly. Update Speed Limit Sign map accordingly if sign locations change.
Task 3 – Citywide Speed Limit Sign Design/Communications/City Code - Research citywide speed limit sign
design options for a City decision. Develop communications option with City Staff and an update to the City Code.
HR Green proposes to perform the work to complete Tasks 1-3 to assist to the City in implementing a citywide
speed limit reduction for a lump sum fee of $4,857.
Thank you for the opportunity to assist with the citywide speed limit reduction efforts. If you have any questions, or
need any additional information, please contact John Morast at jmorast@hrgreen.com or 763.710.1514.

SUBJECT: Snelling Avenue North Improvements – Design discussion
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$1,250,000 $1,307,000 - $1,497,000 PIR, Utility Funds,
(estimate) Special Assessments, Future MSA
Council Should Consider
Council should consider the desired design option to move forward with regarding the Snelling
Avenue North Improvements project.
Background
On September 20, 2021, at the Work Session, Council was presented 3 different design options
(Attachment B) for the Snelling Avenue North Improvements project. Within the presentation
was the project background and information about how each option was designed and the
associated costs. Council then directed staff to consider all available design options and host a
Public Open House to receive feedback from Arden Hills’ residents. The Public Open House was
held on October 20, 2021. Staff also had a virtual opportunity for feedback on the project page
on the City website from October 15 to October 24. The comments that were received have been
compiled and provided in Attachment A.
Discussion
To proceed with the overall design of this project, Council will need to decide which of the 3
options to move forward with. If Option 2 or Option 3 are chosen, then Council must decide on
which side of the road the trail will be located, East or West.
Page 2 of 2
For added information, at the May 17, 2021 Work Session, Council approved a letter of support
to Roseville for the alignment shift of the Regional Bicycle Transportation Network (RBTN)
corridor (Attachment C). With this shift in the corridor alignment, it allows Roseville to be
eligible for funding to extend a trail along the West side of HWY-51, to then connect to the
border of Arden Hills. Arden Hills currently has a voluntarily mowed natural-type trail on the
West side of HWY-51 that leads up to the project corridor of Snelling Avenue North and, in
2018, the City constructed a trail on the West side of Snelling Avenue North, North of County
Road E. Due to these existing conditions, safety, and to put the City in better positioning for
future RBTN funding, City staff recommends constructing the trail on the West side of Snelling
Avenue North.
Budget Impact
Option 1 Option 2 Option3
The project has a budget of $1,250,000 which includes contingencies for construction, materials

For Council Consideration
Council may provide further direction on a future Lake Johanna Fire Department Sign on the Pine
Tree Drive Site.
Background
The fire department has requested the City Council consider allowing a sign on their Pine Tree Drive
site noting it is the location of a future fire station. City Code is silent on “future development” signs;
however, the City Attorney noted this would be considered a Government Sign, which does not
require formal approval but should be given the informal nod from the City Council. The sign would
be a 4’x8’ sign that would have a rendering similar to the one below, and would note “Future Lake
Johanna Fire Station Headquarters – Serving the Cities of Arden Hills, North Oaks, and Shoreview”.
Staff would also ensure the sign is positioned so as not to adversely affect any operations, such as,
snow plowing.
This parcel falls under Sign District 7, which typically allows for a monument sign and wall signage,
which would be approved as part of the formal approval process.
