Dear List, Once again, I must turn to the all-helpful List for any advice you are willing to offer me! Cafe Bicko on 45th and France has applied to change its liquor license from wine and beer to On Sale Liquor, Class C-1 with Sunday Sales : a C-1 license permits live amplified entertainment by five or fewer musicians. A residential area is directly east of Bicko... I live at 4538 Ewing (i now understand "not in my back yard" in a new way). Due to a change regarding who decides adequate number of parking spots or some such technicality, they can now apply for this type of license whereas they were not able to before. (not sure about the details) Currently, parking already spills into the residential area. A neighbor brought me a copy of the Notice of Public Hearing (I did not recieve one until today). The Public Hearing is already next Wednesday.
My neighbors are trying to organize to make our concerns heard. (their are already neighborhood complaints and issues with them at their current license) I do not want to infringe on Bicko's right to go through this process and want to be fair. Regardless of our opinions, I just want to know from anyone willing to share or has any knowledge on something like this, (email off list) are my neighbors and I doing all we can to be heard? We are: going to try to get as many people to show up at the meeting as is possible with short notice ( we must spread the word ourselves since not many homes recieved the mailing), circulating a petition in the neighborhood, calling our council member, calling the Inspector and gathering written responses to the Notice. I am new to this and am doing the best I can to figure out the process! Thank you for reading, Kris Musser Linden Hills _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
