MEMORANDUM
Date: February 15, 1979
To: Joyce Wilde
Acting City Manager
_
From: Thomas A. Morgan, Jr.
Director of 'Public Safety
Subject: LIQUOR LICENSE INVESTIGATIVE REPORT
GROUND ROUND RESTAURANT'
In accordance with Richfield City Ordinance Code 11.06 the Public Safety
Department has conducted the required background investigation relative
to an on -sale liquor license application from the Howard Johnson Corporation.
The application is for a Ground Round restaurant which is proposed to be
located at 1500 East 78th Street. The proposed site currently occupied by
an office building which also houses the Los Bravos restaurant. The applicant
proposes to purchase the property and remodel the existing structure to house
only the restaurant and bar facility for which the license application has
been made. The city council approved the necessary special use permit for
this proposed business venture at their regular meeting on February 12, 1979.
Ground Round restaurants are a subsidiary of the Howard Johnson Corporation.
There are presently approximately 100 Ground Round restaurants in operation
in various parts of the United States.' A few of these restaurants are operated
as licensed franchises, however, the majority are both owned and operated by
the corporation. The restaurant proposed for Richfield would be a corporate
owned and operated venture. The restaurant proposed for Richfield is a part of
the expansion program currently underway by Howard Johnson to open approximately
25 additional Ground Round restaurants during the current year in various parts
of the country.
The Public Safety Department has conducted the required background
investiga-
tion on the officers of the corporation. Our investigation has
revealed no
basis for concern with regard to any of the corporate officers.l
Additionally,
our investigation of the corporation itself has raised no basis
for concern.
The company itself incorporated in the state of Maryland with the
corporate
home office-in Braintree, Massachusetts. The corporation is currently
cert-
ified to do business in the state of Minnesota.. The Public Safety
Department
-
has examined the financial reports of the corporation and found
them to be in
order. The corporation currently is operating with assets in excess
of
$304,000,000. The corporation proposes to finance the proposed!Richfield
ven-
ture with existing corporate assets and no mortgages or loans will
be used for
either the purchase of the property or the establishment of theirestaurant
in
our community. _
t
•
February 15, 1979
Page Two
There are presently four Ground Round restaurants operating in our met-
ropolitan area. These restaurants are located in Brooklyn Center, Rose-
ville, St. Paul and Fridley. We have contacted the public safety agencies
in each of these communities and find that the restaurants have created
no significant public safety problems. Additionally, we have conducted
site inspections of the four restaurants currently in operation and have
noted no significant operational problems.
As of this date, the corporation has not named a resident manager for the
proposed restaurant as required in our city ordinance. Aside from the issue
relating to the resident manager, based upon the Public Safety Department
investigation there would appear to be no basis to deny this application for
an on -sale and Sunday liquor license.

RE: Special Use Permit
6525 Cedar Ave. So.
Gentlemen,
February 8, 1979
It is our desire to obtain permission to engage in the
automotive rustproofing business in a building to be
located at the above address.
We offer two services to the general public:
Automotive Rustproofing which consists of spraying the
undercarrage, engine compartment, trunk, doors etc. with
our rustproofing materials VM 2000 a product of Rustproof-
ing Factories of America. This product is a Neoprene synthetic
rubber material with a mineral spirits carrier. The product
is non- tonic, has a high flash point of 1030+ and is low odor.
It is applied with low pressure equipment 50 -70 lbs and there -
fore we are not atomizing nor vaporizing the spray:,
Vitraseal -an exterior paint sealant; applied by hand to the
paint and chrome surfaces. The process consists of washing,
machine buffing, hand buffing and hand application of the
sealant. The sealant is a silicone based material, packed in
two ounce tubes with relatively no odor.
Due to the amount of time we spend on each vehicle, we are
not a high volume operation. Our maximum is 5 vehicles a
day, normally they arrive at 7:30 to 8:00 A.M. and leave
between 4:40' to 6:00 P.M. We keep all vehicles inside while
in our possession, for warming, cleaning and drying, purposes.
It is our intention to have two employees at this location.

The proposed automobile rustproofing business is a low inten-
sity use. The business would handle a maximum of 5 automobiles
per day by appointment only. Appointments would be primarily
made by phone, so there shouldn't be much drive -up traffic.
The customers would normally arrive between 7 :30 to 8:00 AM
and pick up cars between 4:40 to 6:00 PM. The business would
employ 2 persons. There would be approximately 1 Y 25 trips per
day generated by the business.
The site is located on Cedar Avenue just north of 66th Street.
There is a traffic signal at 66th Street and Cedar Avenue_
The site is near to the intersection of Highway 36 and 66th
Street.- Because of the easy access to the site, no traffic
through residential neighborhood's should be generated by this
use.
Except for a multi - family development across Cedar, the site
is surrounded by commercial land uses.
Because of the easy access to the site, the small number of
trips generated per day,.and the surrounding commercial land
•
uses there would be no undue traffic hazards or congestion
created by the proposed use.

Subject: Transitory Ordinance Providing for Charter
Amendment Relating to Filing Dates, Second
Reading
On February 12, 1979 the city council.gave first reading
approval to a transitory ordinance amending the city charter
with respect to certain filing provisions for elective offices:
This proposed charter amendment was developed by•the Richfield
Charter Commission.
The transitory ordinance amending the.city charter would
.
provide for the printing of candidates'names on the ballot
when the nomination petition had been filed with the city clerk,
four weeks before the municipal primary election date. The
present charter requirement is that all filings be
complete
two weeks before the primary. The charter amendment
closing
off the filing of applications for candidacy four we
ks before
the primary would bring.Richf'ield's filing - require ments
into
.agreement with the required filing dates: for statutory
cities.
Section 2.67 of the city ordinance code establishes
the
beginning and ending dates for filing nomination petitions
for
city offices. The present ordinance establishesJulZ
1 as the
beginning date and two weeks before. the primary.as tie
ending
date for filing. Attached to.this council letter is
an ordin-
ance amendment which would change the.time period for
filing to
a period which would be four weeks before the city..p
imary
election date. If the city councilapproves the charter
pro -"
visions relating to the filing date, it is. reco mmended
that
the 'city council also give second reading approval to
this
amendment to the city code.
Final adoption of the proposed charter amendment
by ordin -
ance requires a favorable vote by all members of the
city council.

`council authorization. The planning and redevelopment director,

primarily, in the ,park maintenance program. Thefour
-wheel truckster
is designed to minimize damage to turf, and will, therefore;—be
quite useful in doing the numerous maintenance tasks
necessary in
the city's developed park areas.

bid was

in the
amount of $4,373.00.
Funds for this purchase are included in the 1979
central garage
budget. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the
public works
director, in which'I concur, that the city council approve
the
bid minutes and tabulation of bids" authorize t
e award:of
bid for the turf truckster to Cushman Motor Company,

Subject: Recommendation for Denial of
Taxicab Drivers License -
The city has received..an application fora taxicab drivers
-license ,from Mr . William, Boyd' Forrey. The background investi-
gation conducted .by the public safety department�,with regard.to
this 'license application reveals that the applicant was charged
in Crow _Wing County for carrying a handgun without a permit.
Conviction of.this charge constitutes a gross misdemeanor under
state statutes. This matter has been considered :by ;the, district.
court in Crow.Wing County.and a final disposition is pending'at
this time. This litigation is`;based on. an incident involving
: ".
the applicant which took place on August 21, 1978.
It is the opinion of the - public safety director, in; which I con-
cur, that this criminal prosecution 'relates directly to the taxi-
cab drivers license which',is being sou ht by the applicant.
Therefore, it is my recommendation that this application
be denied
by the city council until.,such time as the court disposition
of
this matter has been finalized. If the applicant subsequently
wishes to reapply for a taxicab drivers license,-....the,
council can
review the application again based upon the facts ava'lable
at
that time.
Respectfully submitted,
