Accountant' -s Report
The of -sake liquor; ordinance requires that the applicant
file with the city ;a statement made 'by a certified public account -'
ant which shows the total gross sales .and. the total food sales
of the preceding "twelve month period. This information has been ,
provided by The Godfather, Inc. for the month August through.
October; 1977, (the first three months of operation) as well as -:
for the twelve months' ending on October 31, 1978.

Food Sales 96,183 3,34,452

The purpose of obtaining this information is that the state
A
statutes require the serving of food to'be a:principal part of
the business of a restaurant which has ari on -sale liquor license..,.
Council members will. recall that originally the-city'
included a definition of the phrase "principal part
ordinance
of the
business ", stating more than 50% of the gross;retalil
sales of
licensed premises must be derived from the sale of
food. That
definition'was deleted in 1971, leaving only the s
atutory re-
s
quirement which does not include °a definition:of t
e phrase.
The city attorney has advised that "principal
part of the
business" may be interpreted to refer, to' percent oE
gross sales,
but also to such things as the amount of investment
necessary to
serve food, compared to the serving,of beverages
Dr the number
of employees engaged in the preparation and sere n
�of food com.
pared with.beVerages; or the amount 'of space.provi
ed`for' the
Pre paration and serving of food as compared with b
verages. In
short, the statute, could be defined in a'_number of
ways and in
no ways .infers that'the:definiton must be Tmited
to a percent
of gross retail sales.
A stipulation attached to the original - livens
required
that the applicant file a monthly financial 'stat
merit with the
city. Although there has been some 'difficulty and
delay in re -,
ceving some of these monthly financial statements,
the licensee
has provided-financial, statements through October',
1978. 'These
financial statements revealed an operating deficit
significantly
larger;`: than the operating deficit reported for the
period ending
October, 1977, although the corporation has been s
ceessful'in
obtaining _additional financing,to address the.?prob
em of the
operating- deficit.
MEMORANDUM
f
Date: January 4, 1979
To: Wayne S. Burggraaff
City Manager
From: Thomas A. Morgan, Jr.
Director of Public Safety
Subject: LIQUOR LICENSE RENEWAL INVESTIGATION
THE GODFATHER, INC.
Pursuant to the provisions of Richfield City Ordinance 11.06, the
Public Safety Department has conducted the required investigation
with regard to the application for the renewal of the liquor license
for The Godfather, Inc. The only significant organizational change
that has occurred during the past year with regard to The Godfather,
Inc., has been the appointment of a new manager, Mr. Michael Scanlon.
V
A routine background investigation of Mr. Scanlon revealed no negative
findings.
•
During the past year the applicant has had a minimal experience of re-
ported police incidents. In 1978, only three incidents were reported
to the Police Division of.the Public Safety Department. One of these
incidents involved the theft of a vehicle from the parking lot, another
involved a theft from a vehicle which was in the parking lot, and the
third incident involved a theft within the establishment itself. Dur-
ing 1977, there were only four incidents reported to the Police Division
of the Public Safety Department.
As of this date, the Public Safety Department has received financial
statements for only nine of the past twelve months. You willrecall that
the liquor license renewal approved by the city council in December, 1977
contained a stipulation that monthly financial reports be filed by the
applicant. When the original liquor license for the The Godfather, Inc.
was issued in 1977, the Public Safety Department expressed a concern that
the proposal seemed to be under - capitalized for the nature and scope of
the business venture. Since the business opened, they have experienced
a regular and continued increase in the amount of their operating deficit.
According to the financial statement furnished to the Public Safety Depart -
ment dated October 31, 1978, the operating deficit amounted to $136,481.
On October 31, 1977, the operating deficit was reported at $51,134. While
it may not be unusual to expect an operating deficit at the time a business
venture such as this is originated, I am concerned with the size of the
existing deficit. It should be noted with regard to this matter that the
applicant has apparently been successful in obtaining additional financing
to deal this operating deficit
with which with problem.
January 4, 1979
Page Two
In conducting our review of the financial situation of the applicant we
have relied heavily on financial data furnished by the applicant which
we have been unable to verify. The monthly financial statements which
the council required the applicant to furnish the Public Safety Depart -
ment are frequently out of date by the time they are received. While
the statements are apparently prepared by certified public accounting
firm, the statements themselves are unaudited. To the limited extent to
which we have been able to verify various parts of the applicants fin -
ancial statements we have not found them to be inaccurate.
Beyond these issues of concern regarding the corporation's financing,
we have found no basis on which to recommend a denial of the liquor
license renewal application for The Godfather, Inc.

Letter hio. 7 - 2 - January 8, 1979
Staff Findings.
The
staff has reviewed[the proposal against these zoning
ordinance requirements and found the following:
1.-
The restaurant use :would be, in compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan;
2::
The restaurant use, would not result in undue traffic
hazards or. :congestion on surrounding ,streets . The
use is established on'the site and no additional'
traffic Will be� ,generated;
3.
Some traffic exits the parking area by using the
alley to the north of-the site. This results in
'
automobile headlights shining onto residential
properties to the north of the site. Complaints
have been received also about cars sliding across
the alley onto the residential property during the
winter -,
4.
Adequte setbacks are maintained; and
5.
Adequate off - street parking space is.available to
Patrons and . employees,,; although the 'total .parking,
on the site 'is eight spaces short of what city
guidelines indicate should be provided. .'However,
the hours-of operation and peak use of the four
businesses`on the site do not .coincide,; and its
appears that the existing spaces will adequately
meet the parking needs as long as the.existing
uses of the building and the hours of operatio
do not change.
Staff 'Recommendation
It
is the recommendation of the staff that the special
use permit
be 'issued
with he following stipulations:
I.
That a solid fence. with.a minimum height; of three
I
feet be.'
constructed from the back of the building to the
west
property line to screen adjacent residences fr
m automobile
headlights and to prevent.automobiles from exiting
onto the
alley.
2.
That seating of.the' restaurant be limited to t
e existing
54 seats to insure that sufficient parking: spa
es will be
available.
3.
That the restaurant not open for business befo
e 4:00 p.m.
daily., to insure that sufficient parking-is available
for
uses in the building.

the property
w,�
10 5 Gentlemen:
T;w The building at 1506 East 661[--h Street was built in 1960 fir �se as
a cafe, barber shop and beauty shop. The cafe or4a4nally occuc�eu
1, 300 square feet and was operated by Michealis. Michealis sold
the building to the present owner in 1962 and leased it back at that
K
' :. time.
Michealis continued to operate the cafe until May of 1965. room
y4
<May of 1965 until July of 1968 the cafe was operated by three dif =er-
2rx t a ent owners (Ashley, Gloreoso and Stem) and the space reduce,-2 during
these transitions to the present 990 square feet.
`` xr _ -
In July of 1968 Oscar Lindstrom took over the opera tion. o_ t::e ca -e
and a year later expanded it to 1,300 square fees again. L- ndst_o::
operated the cafe until May of 1975 when he relocated to his presence
:,
,V °facilities at 1120 East 66th Street.
All of the operations from 1960 to 19.75 were non -con orming use. The
restaurant stood vacant for 7 -1/2 months in 1975 until the present
�Fa operator, Walter Szczeck, reopened it as a pizza carry -out restaurant
in December 1975. The restaurant occupied 990 square fezt. The
'4 other 300 square feet have been converted to a gift shop.
The restaurant didn't generate adequate business as a carry -out business
only to meet the operating expenses. Sit down business is necessary
�lrk to make the restaurant functional.
The restaurant seats a maximum of 54 and opens for business at P.,1.
The other tenants in the building, a beauty shop, barber shr_,) and
gift shop, all operate day time hours and close bet;,ce:n 5 P.".. anl%
6 P.M. Parking has not been a problem because the restaurant reaches
its peak business after the other tenants are closed at o

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Office .of City Manager
Counci3 Letter No. 6
Agenda January 8, 1979
The Honorable Mayor
and
Members, of the City Council
City of Richfield
Council Members:
Subjec Request for Variance to Frontyard Setback
Requirements, 6417 Xerxes Avenue
Mr. >Lloyd Hope is proposing to construct a four -foot addition
'onto the front of the existing garage attached to his house, loca-
ted at 6417 Xerxes Avenue. The existing garage is approximately
-12 feet by 19 feet. Mr. Hope, proposes to lower the floor of the
garage by 20 inches and construct new footings under the north wall
>
of the garage. The proposed addition will provide additional space
for a car, additional storage space,..as well as provide space for
construction of steps for a door into the porch located behind the
garage.' The proposed addition would reduce the frontyard setback
of the house from 35 feet to 31 feet. The average frontyard set.
.back on the block is 35 feet.
Zoning Ordinance Requirements
Section 3.30, subdivision 4, paragraph 2 -of the zoning ordin-
ance requires a minimum frontyard setback of 30 ,feet, subject to
the modifications in Section 3.39.. Section 3.39, subdivision 2,
paragraph _2 requires that, on developed blocks, the.
required front -
yard setback is the average existing setback on the
block.
Section 3.40, subdivision 2 of the zoning ordinance
allows the
city council to grant variances where strict;enforce�nent
of the
ordinance will cause 'undue hardship because of circumstances
unique
to an individual property, and when it.is demonstrated
that the
.proposal will meet the.spirit and intent of the zoning
ordinance.
Section 3.40, subdivision 6 sets forth three conditions
which
must be present on`the site in order for a variance
to be granted.
Staff Findings
The staff has reviewed the proposal against the
three con -'
ditions which must be met in order for a variance to
be granted.
and found the following:
4�:tY
Council Letter No., 6 -2- January 8, 1979'
c
1.: That there ,are or conditions
„special.circumstances
affecting the particular . land, building or Aise referred
to: "in -the application not common to other'gropertes in
this distr.ic t'or similar''districts.
;.`
No special conditions are present on' the site,::iThe existing
I
garage is smaller than the standard sin le'car: g =ara e Which :is
_ _
now being built, but is similar in size to other garages in; the:`
,neighborhood and the city,
2. That the granting of the application is necessary
for the,preservation and °enjoyment of substantial :property
rights.
The variance is not necessar y to protect property rights. Denial
of the variance w 11 :not prevent the applicant :tioml.using the
property for the existing °single family residential<purpose
3 That the granting of the application will not materially
or adversely, affect the health and safes 'of 2ersons residing
or working in he neighborhood of the property of The: a pp_ li-
cant and will not be material :lv detrimental to °the public
'
welfare or injurious to. property or, improvements in the
r
neeghborhood .
The ro osal' would not be' detrimental to the
p p public welfare. The
proposed.addition. would have a setback of 31 feet, :which is one
foot greater than is normally required-in residential districts.
It would:not.extend our far enough to;.detract. from the appearance
of the.block or to obstruct the view of the neighbors. The addition:
would not result -in living areas of the house being any closer, to
the : ega -five: impacts . of " the' high traffic volume on :Xerxes Avenue'
Staff Recommendation
While the staff feels that the proposal would not
be`detrim-
ental, it is the'. staff's,recommendation that the variance-be
denied 'since the three conditions which must be pies
nt on the site
in order to grant -a variance do not exist.
Planning. Commission Recommendation
The lannin commission reviewed this matter at
P g
their Decem-
ber 27, 1978 meeting.. It is the recommendation of the
planning
commission that the requested variance be granted.`

TRAFFIC CONTROL COMMITTEE MINUTES
December 18, 1978
PRESENT: C. Marinics, T. Morgan, R. Richardson, J. Wilde
(M. Raaen arrived later)
The Richfield Traffic Control Committee met on Monday, December 18,
1978 to review the following requests for traffic control devices
and regulations:
STOP SIGNS
74th Street & Upton Avenue: J. Wilde distributed copies of a
petition that had been received from neighbors in the vicinity of
74th Street and Upton Avenue, requesting installation of a four -way
stop at this intersection. She stated that the petitioners' request
was based on concern with the number of accidents that had occurred
at this intersection in recent years, and the fact that the 'inter
-
section is a school bus stop.
R. Richardson stated that, although no accidents had occurred between
1973 and 1977, three accidents had occurred at this intersection
;Y during 1978. C. Marinics noted that Upton Avenue is stopped at
73rd Street, and that the pattern of traffic controls in this part
of the city is to stop the North -South streets, at intersections
• where two -way stops exist.
The committee voted to recommend installation of a two -way stop
sign at 74th Street and Upton Avenue, stopping Upton Avenue traffic.
69th Street & Harriet Avenue: J. Wilde distributed copies of a
petition received from area residents, requesting installation of
a stop sign to stop 69th Street traffic at Harriet Avenue.
Committee members observed that the intersection is visually open,
with no obstructions. R. Richardson reported that police files
indicate no accidents at this intersection between 1973 and 1977.
C. Marirics std--edthat perhaps high school students sometimes use
this intersection as a short cut, but T. Morgan pointed out that
students parking in the high school l.ot are required to exit to
the south, onto 72nd Street.
The committee voted to recommend that no stop signs be placed at
the intersection of 69th Street and Harriet Avenue.
76th Street & Emerson Avenue: J. Wilde reported that petitions had
been received from parishioners of Berea Lutheran Church, requesting
installation of stop signs on 76th Street and Emerson Avenue. She
observed that Emerson Avenue is presently stopped at this intersection.
The committee agreed that the disparity between traffic volumes on
76th Street and Emerson warranted the existing two -way stop sign, but
not a four -way stop, especially since the intersection is visually
open. R. Richardson reported that some people were concerned with
safety at this intersection as a result of a recent accident where

south side of this block. R. Richardson suggested that such
restriction might be mor valuable on the north side of the
block, to reduce possible congestion as westbound vehicles on
70th Street approach the stop sign at Penn Avenue.
The committ e voted to re ommend that the existing "no parking"
restriction on 70th Stree east of Penn Avenue be moved from the
south side f the street o the north side.
6.600 Block Of Grand Avenu J. Wilde reported that the city
council had requested the committee to review the advisability
of establishing parking r striction on the 6600 block of Grand
Avenue, in response to a equest from some of the residents on
that block
T. Morgan c mmented that the residents' request for parking
restriction was made after the medical clinic opened, and that
the current pattern of on street parking resulting from the medical
clinic was aot conclusive since the clinic's off - street parking
facility wa3 still clutte ed with construction materials, etc.
The committee voted to take no action to establish on- street
parking restrictions for the 6600 block of Grand Avenue at this time.
6600 Block of First Avenue: J. Wilde circulated a petition which
was received from residents of this block, requesting removal of
the "no parking" restrictions on the west side of this block.
M. Raaen informed the committee that the signs were placed on
this block after the street construction project was completed,
in accordance with state aid requirements that parking on a 36 7foot
wide street be limited to one side. He observed that elimination
of these parking restrictions would disqualify First Avenue from
state aid designation.
The committee voted to make no change in the parking restrictions
on the 6600 block of First Avenue.
72nd Street, vicinity of Grand & Harriet Avenues: J. Wilde
summarized petitions which had been received requesting several
changes in parking restrictions in the vicinity of 72nd Street
and Grand and Harriet Avenues.
T. J.11organ reminded committee members of the process that had
been followed with neighbors in the whole high school area to
standardize parking regulations. R. Richardson reiterated Morgan's
point that parking congestion, and enforcement of parking require-
ments, had been greatly eased since adoption of the standardized
regulations.
The committee voted to make no change in the parking restrictions
in the vicinity of 72nd Street and Grand and Harriet Avenues.
78th Street, East of Penn Avenue: J. Wilde reported that a
police officer had asked the committee to review the advisability
of restricting parking on the 78th Street curve (adjacent to
Walser Buick), after a car slid into a parked car.
I
T. Morgan asked if plowing this area was a problem, and C. Marinics
stated that most plowing is done during periods when cars would not
be parked here anyway.
The committee voted to take no action establishing parking restrictions
in this area.
E. Pleasant Avenue, 73rd Street -76th Street: J. Wilde reported that
another petition had been received from neighbors in this area,
requesting that this portion of E. Pleasant Avenue be made two -way
again. She reminded committee members that previous action on such
a request had stipulated that absolute parking prohibitions would be
necessary, if two -way traffic were to be permitted, and that the
petitioners had indicated that such parking prohibitions would not
be acceptable.
T. Morgan stated that ingress and egress of public safety vehicles
into the area was virtually impossible with any on- street parking
if two -way traffic were to be permitted, since fire trucks would
have a difficult time entering the area even with the existing
one -way traffic pattern, iE very many cars are parked on the street.
The committee voted to rec mmend no changes in the existing one-
way traffic pattern on E. leasant Avenue between 73rd and 76th
Streets.
The committe discussed several other general matters, but made
no additiona recommendations.

Gentlemen:
Our neighborhood, in the vicinity of Central Elementary School, has become
so littered with lunch bags, soft drink cans, etc. This is a result of the
8 :00 AM to 10:30 Am parking restriction. It doesn't work. The High School
kids go to McDonald's about 11:30 kM and then return to a street which is
close to the school. They sit in their cars to eat their lunches. They
leave the bags and cups outside their cars. We have talked to the High School
officials, but without results.
We have obtained two petitions from residents on 72nd street and an Grand Ave.
The four residents on 72nd street -equest that the north side of 72nd street
between Harriet a d Pleasant Aves. be posted with parking signs which read
NO PARKING ON SCH OL DAYS BETWEEN :00 AM and 4 :30 PM. I have talked to
Bruce Anderson, Supt. of Schools and he has agreed to this petition.
He says that they have provided of street parking for the organizations •
using the facilities of Central Se ool. The second petition restricts
,- parking on Grand Ave. between 721d and 73rd streets, The petition reads
}R -NO PARKING BETWEE 10:00 AM and 2:)0 PM ON SCiOOL DAYS If you only have
signs which read 40 PARKING BETWEE 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM ON SCHOOL DAYS,this
would be satisfactory. We must ke p the students from parking over the lurch
period._; We than< you for your cooperation in.this matter.
