��F� � �,�_:.�,�- - � � ----� � � Monday, December 23, 2002 Mr. Pisanu Sukhtipyaroge, Owner Royal Orchid Restaurant 2401 Faixview Avenue North Roseville, Minnesota 5 5113 Dear Mr. Sukhtipyaroge: On December 6, 2002, Mr. Thauh Van Ha served an alcoholic beverage to an underage person at your restaurant. Under the Roseville City Code the penalty for a first offense at serving liquor to an under-aged person is a$500 fine and a one-day suspension of one's privilege of serving liquor. The Chief of Police set the suspension date as Friday, December 27. Mr. Sukhtipyaroge has appealed to me. A hearing was held in Roseville City Hall this date involving Royal Orchid Owner Mr. Pisanu Sukhtipyaroge, Police Chief Carol Sletner, and City Manager Neal Beets. Mr. Sukhtipyaroge had six reasons for appealing, which he described at the hearing: l. Liquor sales are a very small part of his business, about ��°:•'�, and liquor is only provided for customer convenience. 2. Mr. Sukhtipyaroge passed his two previous liquor compliance checks in Roseville. 3. Mr. Sukhtipyaroge had no liquor compliance problems in Minneapolis the previous 13 years before opei-�ing in Roseville 4. The Royal Orchid is a family restaurant. Mr. Sukhtipyaroge's sons usually wait tables, along with his sister-in-law. According to Mr. Sukhtipyaroge, they know to check the identification of young looking customers. The waiter that night was there only because Mr. Sukhtipyaroge's sons took part of the weekend off and Mr. Sukhtipyaroge was in a jam. Mr. Sukhtipyaroge thought this waiter had experience and knew to check identification. Moreover, Mr. Sukhtipyaroge believes this server may have diabetes and his attention may wander. 5. The $500 penalty is too harsh. Mr. Sukhtipyaroge says he grosses about $1,000 on weekend nights. Plus, it may take 4 to 5 days, he believes, to make a$500 profit. 2660 Civic Center Drive t Roseville •;• Minnesota �r 55113 651-490-2200 � TDD GS�.-490�2207 ❖ ti��ti��ti�-�:�,��{��4�:1=��_ii7,i.�.i.}
