Finance Committee Minutes 2
July 14, 2020
A temporary snow fence will be installed between A.J.’s property and the
adjacent neighbor’s property (Doug Friedrich).
He will start the events earlier (4:30 pm or 5:00 pm). This will mean that the
music will be over by 8:00 pm.
Parking: 30 spaces will be eliminated with placement of the tent. Two
neighbors have agreed to allow parking on their properties for the events.
This will result in a gain of 80 parking spaces. Could the City place No
Parking signs in front of the adjacent neighbors’ properties?
There will be people present to direct traffic to the appropriate parking areas.
Additional trash containers will be available with the dumpster getting picked
up on the Monday after the event.
There will be multiple security on site; no one under 21 years old will be
allowed.
All the events are for charity.
The events are proposed to help the business stay afloat during these difficult
times.
Mayor Petfalski stated the parking arrangements with the neighbors should be in
writing and submitted to the City. Alderperson Kubacki expressed his concern about
a large tent being 60’ from a residential property.
Input from Neighbors:
Doug Friedrich, S90 W13950 Boxhorn Drive
He still has concerns regarding noise and parking. These events are large scale
and not meant to be held in a bar/restaurant located in a residential area.
Linne Bruskewitz, W139 S218 Boxhorn Drive
She agreed that A.J.’s is not the proper venue for these events. The area is
residential and she has experienced issues with noise and rowdiness of the patrons.
Mr. Jankowski stated that there will be a cap of 500 tickets for each event.
Alderperson Madden stated Mr. Jankowski did provide some positive options to
address some of the issues. However, she still understands the neighbors’
concerns.
Alderperson Wolfe also noted that A.J.’s did offer some reasonable suggestions.
His concern is that the City be consistent. The Mayor recommended moving this
matter directly to the Common Council for further discussion. Alderperson Wolfe
moved to send these license applications directly to the Common Council.
Alderperson Kubacki seconded; motion carried.
