Mound City Council Minutes — February 8, 2011
5. Public Hearing — Conditional Use Permit (CUP) request from Michael Regan for Class III
restaurant classification to serve wine and beer and offer occasional live music at Porta del Sol,
located at 5309 Shoreline Drive
Rita Trapp reviewed the request for a CUP for a Class III restaurant at 5309 Shoreline Drive.
There is a currently a CUP for that property for a Class II restaurant and drive -up window, that
the applicant would like to keep also. It was noted that the current City Code related to liquor
requires seating for not less than 50 guests at one time in one or more dining rooms and Porta
del Sol currently has seating for 31. Applicant has been advised that issuance of this CUP does
not guarantee issuance of the liquor licenses due to this seating requirement.
Discussion took place regarding concern over having the two CUPs at the same time, the 50
seating requirement for liquor, and the drive -up window. Hanus expressed that he is not in
favor of reducing the liquor regulation for seating and feels that these mixed uses are not
compatible. Gillispie views it as similar to the curb -side delivery restaurants that have liquor
licenses, and not like a fast food drive -thru. Salazar and Gesch expressed concerns but would
like to see if there is a way to work it out to accommodate the applicant.
Applicant Michael Regan would like to add beer and wine to attract more business. He also
stressed that he will not have a typical bar /restaurant setting with his smaller dining area and
hours of operation. He closes at 9 p.m. week -days, 10 p.m. on week -ends, and 8 p.m. on
Sundays.
Mayor Hanus opened the public hearing at 7:43 p.m. and upon hearing no comments, closed
the public hearing.
MOTION by Hanus, seconded by Salazar to table this item to a date uncertain to allow staff to
work out the concerns voiced by the Council. All voted in favor. Motion carried.
Regan submitted a request for a 60 day extension to allow further consideration, and staff will
research what other cities do as far as regulating seating for liquor licenses, and address the
other concerns of the Council.
6. Comments and suggestions from citizens on any item no on the agenda.
Johann Chemin, 6039 Beachwood Rd, showed a presentation to the Council on reducing
Mound's energy consumption.
7. Interfund Loan for Retirement of Debt and Rep lenishment of Cash Related to the
Liquor Store Fund
Pausche stated that at the December 14 meeting the Council passed a resolution allowing
Staff to call for an early redemption of the 2001B Municipal Liquor Store Revenue Bonds and
create an interfund loan between the Liquor Store Fund and the General and Sewer Funds to
fund the retirement of the bonds.
MOTION by Gesch, seconded by Salazar to adopt the following resolution. All voted in favor.
Motion carried.
RESOLUTION NO. 11 -15: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN INTERFUND LOAN FOR
RETIREMENT OF DEBT OF LIQUOR FUND
Mound City Council Minutes — February 8, 2011
8. Discussion /Action on final plat for "Sularove ", a four -lot major subdivision of the
Property at 5248 Sularove (Planning Case #10 -11)
Rita Trapp reviewed the request of applicant, Brenshell Construction, for final plat approval for
the Sulgrove subdivision. The preliminary plat was approved in September of 2010. It was
noted that the City Engineer has verified that all four lots are over 6,000 sq. ft. and meet the lot
size requirement.
Trapp stated that the developer differs with the Staff opinion on the park dedication fee, due to
their request to base this on the recent sale value of $127,500 and not the Estimated Market
Value (EMV) of $159,000. It was the Council's consensus to base the park dedication fee on
the EMV rather than to set a precedent by basing it on sale price.
MOTION by Gesch, seconded by Salazar to adopt the following resolution as amended. All
voted in favor. Motion carried.
RESOLUTION NO. 11 -16: RESOLUTION GRANTING FINAL PLAT APPROVAL FOR THE
SULGROVE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AT 5248 SULGROVE ROAD
