The
applicant
is
requesting
an
upgrade
to
the
level
of
entertainment.
They
are
able
to
offer
on
their
rooftop
patio.
In
the
summer
of
2016,
the
city
received
sound
complaints
about
craves,
rooftop
patio,
the
city
notified
crave,
and
they
made
alterations
to
their
setup
on
the
rooftop
to
minimize
sound
issues.
There
has
not
been
a
sound
bailet
violation
recorded
there
since
before
2016,
when
they
originally
applied,
they
thought
they
had
been
granted
the
ability
to
have
the
same
kind
of
entertainment
on
the
rooftop
had
patio
as
the
interior
of
their
establishment.
F
It
was
determined
by
a
hearing
officer
through
the
administrative
appeal
process
that
Krave
was
not
expressly
granted
that
level
of
entertainment
on
there.
Top
patio
crave
worked
with
business
licensing
to
submit
an
amended
application
requesting
the
ability
to
have
disc
jockeys
and
dancing
on
their
rooftop.
Patio
crave
intends
to
provide
restaurant
background
music
during
the
weekdays
until
10:00
p.m.
they
will
provide
disc
jockey,
music
and
services,
along
with
patron
dancing
on
Friday
and
Saturday
nights
from
10
p.m.
to
1:45
a.m.
F
On
May,
first
public
hearing
notices
were
mailed
to
residents
and
property
owners
within
300
feet
of
the
premises.
Notices
were
also
emailed
to
the
ward
councilmember,
the
downtown
Minneapolis
Neighborhood
Association
in
the
warehouse
district
is
an
association
association.
We
have
received
one
response
from
the
public
hearing
notices
that
person
had
concerns
about
the
music
being
too
loud.
A
review
of
3-1-1
calls
and
police
incidents
in
the
two
year.
Look-Back
period
found
no
significant
issues
concerning
this
business.
At
this
time
we
recommend
conditional
approval
of
an
upgrade
to
general
entertainment
on
the
rooftop
patio
at
crave.
A
There
any
questions
for
mr.
Arbit
on
item
number

seeing
none.
Thank

we'll
open
up
the

and
item
number

which
is
an
expansion
of
premise
for

amplified
music
on
the

patio
at

by
miss

Is

anyone

speak
to
this
issue.

Name
is
cam
Talley
and
I'm,
the
owner
and
CEO
of
crave.
Restaurants
I
appreciate
your
consideration
in
this
matter.
We
certainly
believe
having
this
form
of
entertainment
is
critical
to
the
success
factor
of
the
restaurant
I
think
we
have
worked
well
with
the
city
but
from
in
2016
to
address
any
issues
to
implement
all
the
recommendations
and
which
has
been
effective.
As
discussed
and
noted,
there
has
been
no
documented
noise
or
violation
since
2016,
so
we
hope
that
you
guys
would
consider
this
force
we're
a
good
tenant.

Jeremy
Matheson
I'm
the
operations
manager
for
broken
clock
brewing
as
Mosquitia
said.
Obviously
we
are
a
brewery
but,
more
importantly,
we're
a
co-op
community
owned
with
over
800
community
members
that
own
us.
So
obviously
we've
been
a
taproom
for
the
last
year,
but
more
importantly,
this
summer
we
like
to
have
some
outdoor
seating,
because
we
cannot
deprive
our
residents
of
not
being
able
to
sit
outdoors
when
they
drink
their
beer.
So
thank.

Hi,
my
name
is
Sam
Peterson,
one
of
the
owners
of
giochi
restaurant.
We
specialize
in
Japanese
food
we've
been
there
since
2014
and
I'm,
mostly
just
excited
to
offer
more
selection
to
my
customers.
We
have
a
location
in
st.
Paul
that
has
a
follicular
license
and
we're
gonna
duplicate
the
menu.
We
have
there.
It's
about
nine
Japanese,
specialty,
whiskeys
and
then
I
think
like
for
specialty
cocktails,
so
Jeremy.
A
N
A
Is
been
moved
for
their
comments
or
questions,
seeing
none
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
all
right,
any
opposed.
That
item
is
approved.
So
that
concludes
the
public
hearing
agenda
and
we'll
move
on
to
our
discussion
items.
But
before
we
do
that,
I
just
wanted
to
ask
our
Career
Pathways
folks.
Do
you
think
that
would
be
a
job?
You
would
like
being
the
liquor
license
person?
A
Anyone?
No,
not
so
much!
Well,
wait!
There's
one
more
item
and
you
might
want
this
job
so
just
stay
here.
Just
in
case
you
might
want
to
be
a
project
manager
at
Safed.
That's
the
point
of
them
being
here
right
to
determine
if
these
are
kind
of
jobs.
They're
interested
in
I
think
that
liquor
license
job
is
a
good
one
by
the
way
get
to
be
outside.
I
A
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
Jim
Terrell
and
with
the
business
development
division
of
cpad
and
this
afternoon
I'm
very
pleased
to
present
this
request
for
a
council
approval
for
a
$700,000,
great
streets
loan
for
the
expansion
of
the
Capri
theater
at
2027,
West
Broadway
Avenue.
As
a
part
of
its
strategic
plan.
Some
10
years
in
the
making
PCYC
the
parent
organization
of
the
Capri
theater,
launched
a
nearly
13
million
dollar
endeavor
to
benefit
north
Minneapolis,
to
enhance
the
Arts
in
the
region
to
stimulate
economic
growth
and
community
livability.
O
The
actions
that
are
before
you
this
afternoon
will
facilitate
the
renovation
of
the
existing
Capri
theater,
building
the
construction
of
a
19,000
plus
square
foot.
Addition
to
the
building,
as
well
as
the
construction
of
a
community
centered
outdoor
plaza
PCYC
was
foreign
founded
in
1954
as
a
nonprofit
organization
dedicated
to
improving
the
lives
of
the
youth
and
families.
The
organization
moved
to
its
current
location
in
1969
and
purchased
the
Capri
theater
in
1987,
as
highlighted
in
the
RCA.
O
The
rehabilitation
and
expansion
of
the
Capri
theatre
will
provide
a
number
of
benefits
to
the
surrounding
community
and
across
the
city,
especially
for
youth.
A
brief
highlight
of
these
benefits
include
the
creation
of
a
Best
Buy
teen
tech
center
that
will
provide
state-of-the-art
technology
and
maker
equipment
and
programming
for
youth.
The
expansion
of
some
18
different
youth
programs
estimated
to
serve
over
six
hundred
youths
per
year,
the
renovation
and
expansion
of
the
theater
estimated
to
serve
over
36,000
patrons
per
year.
O
The
project
has
received
grant
funding
from
some
of
the
area's
leading
foundations,
including,
but
not
limited
to
the
pole,
ed
foundation,
the

a
Cargill
foundation,

and
over

and
Janet
Anderson
Margaret
and
Angus
Myrtle
Bill
and
Susan
Sam's,
Kathy,

and

O
We're
also
very
happy
to
make
the
note

It's
not
mentioned
in
the
memo
I'd
like
to
thank
my
colleague,
Hilary
Holmes,
who
assisted
with
especially
some
of
the
regulatory
activity
in
getting
the
project
here
today.
Staff
recommends
approval
of
this
request
for
council
actions.
Mr.
James
Scott,
the
director
of
the
Capri
theatres,
as
well
as
other
members
of
the
Capri
theater
project
team,
are
also
here.
If
you
have
questions
for
them
and
I'll
stand
for,
questions
are.
H
H
You
know
many
years
ago
to
restore
those
theaters
and
now
we're
seeing
those
theaters
start
to
reach
out
and
really
contribute
to
vibrancy
all
up
and
down,
have
been
avenue
and
contribute
to
the
vibrancy
of
the
whole
community
and
I.
Think
I'm
really
glad
that
we
can
make
this
investment
right
now
and
really
glad
that
we
can
envision
a
future
where
this
contributes
to
the
vibrancy
of
Broadway
in
a
similar
way.
So
thanks
for
your
work
on
this.
P
Thank
you
Jim
and
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
and
long
PCC
ycs
executive
director
is
unable
to
be
here
today
so
I'm
honored,
to
have
the
opportunity
to
speak
on
her
behalf
and
on
behalf
of
the
agencies.
On
this
day,
that's
been
more
than
eight
years
in
the
making.
As
you
seen
in
the
request
for
community
action,
the
project
will
have
tremendous
effect
in
North
Minneapolis.
A
A
So
anything
that's
easy
to
do
would
have
been
done
already.
This
was
not
something
that
was
easy
to
do
at
the
time
in
and
and
her
team,
along
with
my
dear
friend,
Carl
Reichert
spent
a
good
amount
of
time,
raising
a
huge
amount
of
he's,
just
an
enormous
amount
of
money
from
the
private
sector.
In
order
to
bring
this
item
for
to
fruition
and
I'll
note
mr.
A
Chow's
report,
it
wasn't
until
2010
when
the
first
livable
communities
grant
came
along,
which
is
which
allowed
the
theater
to
buy
the
parcels
surrounding,
but
it
wasn't
even
until
2011
when
the
city
agreed
to
sell
those
parcels.
So
we
are
talking
a
long
time
and
some
of
these
projects
are
just
so
transformative
that
doing
them
right
and
taking
time
makes
a
level
of
sense
right
now.
There
is
a
sense
of
urgency.
A
A
A
We
very
much
respect
the
work
that
you've
done
to
get
this
from
here
to
there,
and
we
are
I
would
say,
on
behalf
of
all
committee,
really
happy
that
we've
gotten
to
this
point
on
the
motion
to
approve
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
any
opposed.
That
item
is
unanimously
approved,
seeing
no
further
business
before
us.
We
are
adjourned.
