Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that when C.R. #116 was constructed, he would have to eliminate this driveway and rework his access. That's in the development agreement. Rick Burnham stated that the problem he has is that with future expansion, he will need two accesses and he thought he could do that on the back end of the property. The point he is trying to make is the road can be moved down somewhat but there will not be the distance to turn semi trucks if he has to move the road too far down. If necessary, the building could be moved five to 10 feet. Ms. Frolik suggested that maybe the Council should table action on this issue and staff can contact the County to see how the traffic pattern could be worked out. Motion by Mayor Gamec and seconded by Councilmember Hendriksen to table action on this case and the next case (Part B: Request for Site Plan Approval; Case of C.R. Concrete) until we receive answers from the County about the road right-of-way and what the permitted accesses will be. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Anderson and Zimmennan. Voting No: None. Case #6: Part B: Request for Site Plan Approval; Case of C.R. Concrete Council tabled discussion of this case in the previous case. Case #7: Request for a Music Festival License; Case of Diamonds Sports Bar and Grill, Inc. Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that the owners of the Diamonds Sports Bar and Grill have applied for a music festival license for an outdoor concert be to held on August 14, 1999, from 2:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Ms. Frolik described that the music festival proposal estimates that 3,000 to 5,000 persons will attend the event. The event will be held within the perimeter fencing of the current softball fields. Part of that area will be used to accommodate sanitary facilities, entertainment stage, food and beverage concessions, and medical facilities. The remainder of that area will be used for off-street parking. The applicants have made arrangements with A1 Pearson, the owner of farmland to the west, to use his property for overflow parking. The parking concession will be managed by the Ramsey Lions. It is staff's understanding that there will be shuttle service available for persons parking on the Pearson farm. Ms. Frolik reported that because the event will be adjacent to T.H. #10, staff contacted MnDOT. Keith Van Wagner of MnDOT Permits Division indicated that no special permit is required for this outdoor concert. He noted that the local police department has the authority to implement any traffic control necessary on Highway #10. Ms. Frolik noted that the license has been drafted to require the applicants to pay for police presence on the day of the event. Police Chief Gustafson has researched outdoor sales of liquor. He has reported that State law requires that the area in which liquor will be served has to be fenced and the insurance policy covering the liquor sales must state in writing that the outdoor sales of liquor is covered.
