Councilman Ralles left the Council chambers. James Endler, Walgreen Company senior attorney for governmental affairs, de�cribed the firm's history in the United States. He said the St. Louis Park store has been located at the Knollwood Shopping Center since 1955 apd has a lease until the Year 2009. He explained the store has 13,000 square feet of retail area plus an additional 6,000 square feet of non- retail space; if the license is granted, major remodeling in excess of $175,000 is planned. Responding to a question from Councilman Backes, he was unsure if extensive remodeling would occur should the license be denied. Councilman Martin believed adequate liquor suppliers exist throughout the community. Mr. Endler stated that at the State level, the sale of packaged liquor in drug stores appears to be favored. Responding to Councilman Elstrom, he explained patrons would not be able to enter the liquor sales area from �he drug store. Councilman Elstrom suggested that license approval could set a precedent whereby all other drug stores may apply for similar licenses. Mr. Endler explained that the Walgreen Company is very familiar with the liquor business, and one of the reasons a license is sought is due to a change in district manager who has had liquor in his 14 previous stores. He noted that the Company is the largest liquor retailer in the United States. There being no one further wishing to speak, the Mayor declared the hearing closed. It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Elstrom, to reject the application.

Kimiko's 1980 renewal of licenses - Kimiko's Sauna, Sauna 4310 West 361f Street. Ralph Gale, att�rney representing Kimiko's Sauna, explained that on December 28, 1979, the City Manager advised the owners the license to operate the business would not be renewed for 1980. Ne said the offense occured over one year in the past, and there was never an indication to the owners of possible future problems; in fact, in April, 1979, a new two-year lease for the premises was executed. He continued there had been no other problems associated with the business in its 10.5 years in the community. Councilmen Martin and Meland explained that the Council policy is to not act upon a matrer until it is disposed of by the Courts. �� Steve Lange, prosecuting attorney for the criminal charges, recited the background of the December 20, 1978, arrest. He said the defend$nt was subsequently sentenced to a breach of'peace charge and fined $50. Police Cliief Richard Setter explained that as part of the department's regular inspection procedure, visits are made to each licensee on an irregular basis, and on the evening in question, the officer ente�ed in an undercover capacity. Responding to Councilman Meland, he stated the City's other licensed sauna was inspected on a similar basis. Mr. Gale explained that although ris. Kelly accepted the reduced charge offered by Mr. Lange, had slie known her license would be in jeopardy, she would noC have pleaded guilty to the lessor charge but would have requested a jury trial. Ne suggested the Council was not in the position nor equipped to try the case as a jury. He believed that even as expressed by the City Attorney, the facts were not sufficient cause to � deprive the licensee o£ a 10.5-year business. He continued that the � brench of peace ordinance has nothing to do with moral turpitude,•and if the City believed it had a case, it should h�ve proceeded to try it, � and if breaeh of peace is gufficient to t�ke away a license, the Kellys should have been so advised. i -6- � -..-R. City Council minutes, January 7, 1980 Following further discuseion, the Mayor declared the hearing closed. It was moved by Councilman Flstrom, aeconded by Councilman Martin, to authorize preparation of a resolution denying renewal of the licenses.

Sylvia t�oward, 2600 Monterey Avenue, sa�d that on De�ember 27, 1979, while driving on Quentin Avenue at West 27 Street, she was stopped by a police officer and informed her plates were expired. The o£ficer gave her a citation and had the car towed. She said she was five blocks from her h�me, and three hours later the car was retrieved for $27. She said no State or City law exists which states a car should be empounded when the �Efense i� driving with expi�ed license plates, and as a meCter of principle, she requested the City to reimburse the 527.50 tow charge. Councilm�n Martin explained the City'� liability if the officer had al�owed tie[ to drive withouC correct plates. Ne continued that if the car wae 1elt in place and vandalized, the owner could state it was the City's f:ault. He s�id the police department has certain policies and guidelines under which it operates to protect citizens and also the City from poRaible civil lawsuits resulting from property damage. Councilman f�anks noted the law states that vehicles cannot be operated in the 5tnte of MinneRota unless properly licensed. He said he would not support ection wherehy the citizens of St. Louis Park must pay for the towinq when the platee had been expired Eor seven months. Councilmnn Rallee explained thaC some peop2e do not renew licenses in order to not p��Xr_haee insurance. }ie asked Ms. Howard how she•would feel f.f sl►e beer�me involved in an accident with a person having no in�urAnce. . . .. -1-- City Council minutes, January 7, 1980 Mr. Howard said the car belonged to him. He explained Chat upon checking with the State Highway DeparCment, the City Attorney and a former judge, he was told there was no Iaw which required vehicles to be empounded and other persons received citations for the offense. He explained he had mistakenly bought one license tag instead of two. Councilman Elstrom said the law states vehicles must display current tabs and the policy of enforcement varies with each municipality. There was no action on the matter. RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES 8a. Street Name Change; Second reading of ordinance changing name of Ordinance No. 1456 roadways adjacent to Highway 100 (Cedar Lake Road, etc.).

Councilman Hanks explained the major concern stated on December 17, 1979, related to ttie road around the church; he asked if a meeting had been held to review the matter. David Squire, representing the church, said the item had been discussed at the original neighborhood meeting, and the applicant's desire to,con- struct the road around the church remained. Ed Hollen, 8112 North Virginia Circle, representing the church, repeated the desire for the road and believed the decision must come from the Council. Curtis Holmqui.st, 1807 Texas Avenue, reiterated comments made December 17, 1979, and said the November 15 neighborhood meeting concerned the south parking lot and not the roadway. He also said the City should not give up any park land. � Ci[y Council minutes, January 7, 1980 Councilman Martin said he had concern about Che roadway, but noted several houses in the area appeared to encroach more upon the pond than the proposal, and the proposal did not appear to infringe upon the trail. The Planning Director explained the City will receive 14,000 square feet of church property for 11,000 square �eet of City property. It was moved by Councilman Elstrom, secpnded by Councilman Backes, to amend the ordinance to state that park land acquired from the City by the church shall not be utilized as a roadway. Mayor McQuaid and Councilman Hanks stated it had bee� their hope that prior to the CoUncil meeting, the church and the neighborhood would meet and resvlve their differences. Mr. & Mrs. Winston, 1457 Texas Avenue, questioned the placement of the roadway and said it would be a detriment to the area. They also reiterated objections voiced on December 17, 1979. Councilman Ralles believed an alternative would be to locate the roadway in the front of the church. The motion failed 3-4 (Councilmen Backes, Elstrom and Mayor McQuaid in fa�or) . It was moved by Councilman Hanks, seconded by Councilman Ralles, to waiv� reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1457, entitled "An ordinance �uthprizing the disposition by the City of park property."
