Discus of Rosevi11e, Inc., Case No. 2230 Page 2 2. DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY The proposal does not involve any physical changes to the building or site. 3. DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS Planninq Considerations Parking may be the only physical site planning issue that could be affected by the proposed use. The applicant notes that in their experience, parking is adequate since many younger teens ride with older, licensed teens, and many others are dropped off by parents. Parking is not expected to be a problem, but it would be prudent to include as a condition of approval a stipulation that adequate parking and traffic flow be maintained on site. If problems arise, the permit can be reviewed. Security is a significant concern, and the applicant has outlined the security measures that will be taken and the rules that govern the teen night. The applicant mentions a similar program at the Fuddruckers restaurant in st. Louis Park. We contacted City Manager Bill Dixon and Police Chief Mitchell who botb said that the program is not a significant problem. There have been police calls there, but the problems have been handled satisfactorily. The City Manager said his own daughter has attended the dance night and reports no problems. Early in the process we encouraged the applicant to contact Chief Zelinsky directly to discuss security issues. When this still had not occurred as of two weeks ago, we sent a copy of the applicant's information to the Chief and again encouraged the applicant to contact the Police Department. To our knowledge, those discussions have just now been initiated as this report is being written. Substantive comments from the Police Chief may be available for the meeting. Zoninq Ordinance References The site is zoned B-1B, Limited Retail District. Section 8.280. Uses by Special Permit in District: B-1B 6.23. "Restaurants including live entertainment and dancing."
