Council Members Dear Mr. Kelly:
Thomas Hedges The City Council received your letter dated June 16, 2009, relative to the matter of the Cub liquor
City Administrator license item that was on their agenda that evening. Recognizing the letter provided comments for
an item before the Council, the City Attorney and City Planner responded to the questions the
letter raised at the time of the meeting. The Council had the benefit of the questions and answers
when they took their action to approve the license, but we had not planned to respond to the letter
separately.
Our City Clerk, Maria Petersen, has shared that your client, Eduard Fisher, contacted her to ask
Municipal Center whether a response to the letter would be provided to you and we are happy to do so. The
3830 Pilot Knob Road conclusion with respect to both of the issues you raised in your letter is that no additional analysis
or action would be necessary in their regard, because the subject property is a planned
Eagan, MN 55122 1810 development (PD). In a PD, various matters of site design including the location and scale of the
651.675.5000 phone loading area are determined through the approved site plan, rather than through separate
651.675.5012 fax approvals such as a CUP.
651.454.8535 TDD
That being the case, the City Attorney indicated that there were no additional actions or
conclusions necessary, other than the determination of whether the license application itself was
in order.
Maintenance Facility
3501 Coachman Point We appreciate your communication with us on behalf of your client. If you have further
Eagan, MN 55122 questions relative to this matter or the determinations with respect to the land use issues, please
651.675.5300 phone let us know.
651.675.5360 fax Sincerely,
651.454.8535 TDD
