As I understand it, debate is raging regarding whether or not City-issued liquor license(s) and/or City-permitted construction in/after 1976 and in/after 2012 eliminated the need for Planning Commission review/approval before the “future dining room” (as shown on architects’ plans) is permitted/licensed by the City to be used (in 2018 or after) as an actual dining room (filled with customers who need parking spaces for their cars). QUESTIONS: [1] By approving/permitting/licensing whatever the City approved/permitted/licensed way back in 1976 and thereafter, did the City relinquish its right to enforce parking standards for the Commodore Bar/Restaurant as those standards existed in 1976 or 2012, or currently exist in 2018? [2] Do/Did parking standards apply to the “future dining room,” and if so, which year’s standards, if any, will be enforced? +2 ABZA 18-2 2/23/2018 10:10 AM Eric Lein   Against Traffic and vehicles in and close to the Commodore parking lot have created an existing, incessant and hazardous problem. Vehicles of non-residents, who are generally not familiar with the parking lot layout, frequently turn from Western Avenue into the Commodore's "garage access only" south driveway. Upon finding themselves trapped, drivers are forced to back into oncoming traffic on Western. While backing across the city sidewalk (at high risk to occasional pedestrians), the drivers' line of sight is almost always blocked by cars parked on Western. I have watched it happen dozens of times (I live very close and walk along Western next to the Commodore 2 to 4 times every day). The near misses are especially exciting after dark...when Mr. Rupp's Commodore Bar and Restaurant attracts plenty of happy customers. +2 RES 18-198 2/22/2018 11:37 PM Sharon Anderson   Against Go to pg 16 re Sharon Anderson Widow Political Candidate 697 Surrey Av.

I am writing to you with my individual opinion, but it is informed by deep experience in ***ociation governance. The Commodore Bar and Restaurant is important to the homeowners of the Commodore ***ociation. The bar and restaurant pays 10% of the budget of the ***ociation. This means that the financial success of the restaurant is very important to our homeowners. I would hate to see a bureaucratic snafu potentially compromise the fiscal health of an ***ociation containing 48 homes and 3 businesses. Since the restaurant opened, there has been impact on property values. It also serves as an appreciated amenity for our owners and residents and their guests.  It is important to emphasize the historical and cultural importance of the restaurant. The restaurant has been beautifully restored to capture an important era in St. Paul's history. It is nothing less than a local treasure. +3 Ord 18-8 2/5/2018 3:18 PM Anne Thom     I cannot find any connection to what 18-8 is about, and I would like to perhaps comment.
