Regular City Council Meeting AND Board of Adjustments and Appeals Monday,July 16, 2012 Page 19 Councilmember McGehee opined that, since this is a new business, but the City Council was attempting to be uniform in its policy with the potential of more taprooms coming into Roseville, it seemed that having an operating window from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. should provide enough time to accommodate cus- tomers and the applicant for this business plan. Councilmember McGehee opined that this provided a more concise schedule for Police Department en- forcement as will through a uniform effort. At Mayor Roe's prompting, individual Councilmember input for hours of opera- tion at this point was as follows: 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. (Councilmember Johnson) and8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. per State Statute (Councilmember Willmus). Councilmember Johnson compromised and concurred with the sug- gested hours of operation of Councilmember Willmus in accordance with State Statute: 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Mayor Roe declared a consensus for hours of operation from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Regarding seating capacity regulations or square footage restrictions presented by Mayor Roe, Councilmember McGehee opined that she saw no need for any restrictions. Councilmember Johnson, related to seating capacity stipulations, opined that he was leaning toward having no restrictions, since it was indicated in the business model to get people in and out as fast as they could and not encourage loitering. Councilmember Johnson questioned what enforcement controls the City would have in that regard anyway. Mayor Roe concluded a consensus that the City ordinance would have no ca- pacity and/or square footage restrictions. Regarding dancing, Councilmember McGehee opined that her only concern would be in any potential disturbance for other residential or business property around an establishment, even though the location of this establishment created a non-applicable situation. Councilmember Pust spoke in opposition to having any regulation regarding dancing or music, opining that she couldn't remember the City having to ad- dress such a problem in the past, and questioning the role of government in get- ting involved in such an issue in the first place, by dictating a decibel level or play list.
