Bernard Dahlberg and his attorney,Mr. Leonard Strickler, appeared in support of the application. After considerable discussion the following action was taken: A motion was made by Councilman Schadow, seconded by Councilman Wolfe, to grant the On-Sale Liquor License to Bernard Dahlberg and George Theros (Golden Steer) at the location as shown on plat presented to the City Council this evening. The motion was lost by the following roll call vote: Councilman Bolmgren, nay; Councilman Davis, yea; Councilman Ehrenberg, nay; Councilman Jorvig, nay; Councilman Schadow,yea; Councilman Wolfe, Nay; Mayor Fernstrom abstained from voting. Councilman Ehrenberg requested that the following be entered into the minutes: I would like to set forth my reasoning for voting "nay" at the present time on 111 the liquor license application submitted by Mr. Dahlberg and Mr. Theros for the "Golden Steer". 172 August 13, 1956 Public Hearing on Liquor License for Dahlberg and Theros - Continued First, let me say that I have eery confidence in the ability and the integ- rety of these 2 gentlemen to operate a first-class dining establishment that would be a credit and an asset to the City of St. Louis Park. I feel that if any On- Sale license were granted these 2 gentlemen should receive the first considera- tion, and will receive such consideration by myself. Further, I have satisfied myself that all of their financing is legitimate and that there is no attempt on their part at any subterfuge or deception as regards hidden control or multiple ownership of liquor licenses or establishments. I am convinced that theirs is a sincere an honest attempt to set up an operate a high-type restaurant. They de- serve every consideration. Secondly, I have had several contacts and meetings with the developers of the proposed "Office City" in which I have set forth my feelings as regards the granting of a liquor license as part of this development. I am convinced in my own mind that these men are sincere in their objectives and are doing everything to bring Office City into existance. I am further convinced that there was and is no attempt to use this device as a means of obtaining an additional liquor license. I have expressed to both the applicants and the developers my conditions for a "yea" vote. These conditions were a follows: 1. There must be no connection with the Lilac Lanes establishment, and no person connected with Lilac Lanes who could, through financing, influence the control and operation of the Golden Steer. I am satis- fied that this requirement has been met. 2. The exact location of the proposed Golden Steer must be agreed upon in advance of granting the license. This location must be towards the center of the development, and must not be on or within 3001 of the proposed Douglas Avenue extention. Mr. Strickler has assured me that this WILL be the case. 3. As evide: nce of good faith on the part of the developer, a portion of Office City must be constructed at the same time as the restaurant is started. This condition is of prime importance to me. Mr. Strickler has given me every assurance that this is the purpose of the developers. However, I feel the granting of the license at this time is premature inas much as there has been no evidence of construction, and no definite committment dates as to when construction will begin. When I see tangible evidence of such construction, you can rest assured that I will vote for a high quality restaurant (Not a Nite Club), and I will vote for a license if the same two applicants desire it at that time. I do not wish to deny the applicants a license. I would move to postpone the actual granting of this license to the time construction on Office City, and the restaurant, begins. After further discussion the following motion was made by Councilman Schadow, seconded by Councilman Wolfe, that application for "On-Sale" liquor license of Bernard A. Dahlberg and George Theros at premises designated as "restaurant" on plot plan of property located at the intersection of Highway 100 and Wayzata Boule- vard prepared by Sebco Inc. dated August 13, 1956 and filed with the City Clerk 173 August 13, 1956 Public Hearing On Liquor License for Dahlberg and Theros - Continued August 13, 1956 be hereby granted on condition, however, that the issuance of the license shall not be authorized until construction-of said restaurant and clinic building and office building as shown on said plat has commenced under proper permits granted by the City. Motion was passed by the following roll call vote: Councilman Bolmgren, nay; Councilman Davis, yea; Councilman Ehrenberg, yea; Councilman Jorvig, nay; Councilman Schadow, yea; Councilman Wolfe, yea; Mayor Fernstrom abstained from voting.
