Circle
City Planner Licht presented the staff report. The city received complaints from residents as well as
concerns from the Wright County Sheriff's office regarding on -street parking along Park Avenue west
of Parrish Avenue. The on -street parking is being generated by Boondox Bar & Grille during evening
outdoor events. City staff is recommending sending notice to the residential properties affected
asking for their input.
Mayor Stockamp stated her concern with the outdoor/indoor capacity at Boondox. She said she feels
there is a safety issue here. She further stated Boondox patrons are playing volleyball past their
allowed 10 PM cut off. CM Warehime said he agrees with Mayor Stockamp. He said something needs
to be done that is enforceable by the Wright County Sheriff. He said he likes the idea of reaching out
to the residents in that area. He also stated that the Public Safety Commission can talk to the Sheriff's
department at a future meeting to get input from them.
A parking permit for the residents in that area was discussed. CM Heidner stated he thought that
would be the way to go.
CM Darkenwald asked the City Planner if this is something that would need to go in front of the
Planning Commission. City Planner Licht said no; but if it was something to do with Boondox CUP -
PUD, that yes that would be required, but not for a parking item.
CM Warehime said in the past we have talked on holding the business accountable and there has
been no response.
City staff is recommending tabling this item to wait for public input after the notice is sent out.
CM Heidner motioned to table this to the September 11, 2017 meeting. Seconded by CM
Tanner. All in favor. Motion carried.
