recognizing that no American should have the right to purchase a rent shelter of choice Abridged because of race color religion sex handicap familial status or national origin sexual orientation or gender identity

This really came out of the critical um incident review of the 2022 uh West Waso incident as many of you remember we had one of our officers shot fairly early on and we didn't have any type of vehicle that could safely go in there that that provided any protection...

the granite Foundation was established around 2001 2002 uh We've enjoyed some success and it certainly is a pleasure to donate to uh compelling needs such as uh the chief has indicated but I want to give granite a shout out because we don't have a website but Roseville is dear to our hearts and uh in our 501c3 mandate we're allowed not only to give to other nonprofits and City organizations but also to individuals of need

We have taken what once was that that restaurant space in the front of the store and are looking to expand it lighten it brighten it and make it more of a community center with a small bar bar serving beer and wine the food provided would be the the wonderful deli food with our upgraded hot bar and our lovely soup and salad bar sushi all of those Foods would service the area and the part that I'm most excited to share is that part of this area will be able to be cordoned off by a set of sliding glass doors with a nice big fireplace and and um access to the bar for a meean space and a community space work space for those who want it

this is a less fun part to talk about but we're always concerned about having proper training for people Serv alcoholic drinks and and checking IDs and I know you have an excellent reputation but I just need to repeat that because we have at a big uptick recently in uh in in people that have not been complying so they've been coming here and that's the last thing we want to see so make sure your your data is up to date

the breach into the attic was the most concerning to me because inside that attic there is no fire suppression system there's no warning notification system a fire alarm system um theoretically should a fire have occurred inside that attic space it would be my opinion that there would have been no notification prior to a fully engulfed structure and that was really what alarmed me the most was that breach from second floor through multiple layers of uh fire rated assembly all the way into the attic area of this woodf framed building and that was something we observed still exists today

I'm requesting that uh we be given few more days to complete the entire item and I'm requesting that the inspector walk with with us and check all the items in uh so that he can conclude with us that it is all done and all the permit related items they are the plumbers and electrician already talking with the inspector and taking the instructions from them so I am assumed that when they are done those items will be done

the structure itself is not a safe place for people to be spending nights and staying as as a hotel facility uh and that's the reason for the condemnation in essence that is correct

Double Tree has been inspected by the city's Community Development and fire department and they have completed all necessary Corrections and do not have any outstanding building or fire code issues

Avid Hotel therefore uh staff does recommend approval of the hotel license for Avid hotel at 315 Center Point dri

management has taken steps to address the cost for service and in 20 20 2024 there's only been one month when Kean has had more than 10 nuisance related calls although calls for service remain remain higher than average for the hotels in the city the rosville police department recognizes the efforts made by the new ownership and management team to improve the conditions based on their cooperation and commitment for addressing the public safety concerns the police department does not object to granting of a hotel license for key in

the license requirement is is nobody associated with the management of the running of the hotel be residential in the hotel um and therefore if it's somebody that's related to the restaurant my understanding would be unless they have a business relationship with the hotel that would be the limiting factor there

The outstanding issues are as you know the hotel has exterior door access and no internal access to the rooms uh it's a three-story building the railing on the second and third floor exterior walkways are not secured properly and in some cases missing and therefore the road uh the railing is not code compliant and poses a danger for public to fall off of also it was noted that there are potential structural deficiencies on the exterior walkway system for the second and third story

staff does recommend uh in consideration of that hotel license approv of the hotel license with the uh condition that the uh occupancy is limited to the ground floor the main ground floor and occupancy is not allowed on the second and third stories until the work on the railing as well as the structural engineers review of the work and any necessary Corrections are done

The applicant for hotel license Milwaukee 45 Hospitality no longer owns Norwood in the city conducted inspections on October 15th 2024 and March 3rd 2025 and noticed numerous code violations that have not been corrected to date the city condemned the nor in on March 18th and that appeal has been upheld due to the lack of a correction of the noted code violations norwi in Burnsville owned by Percy punaa who is also the applicant for the Roseville Hotel license was closed down by the state of Minnesota Health Department for various state code violations in December 2018 an interested person key pah as defined under the hotel license ordinance was not included in the hotel license application and no criminal background check was conducted on that individual then finally the Norwood in exceeded the threshold for repeat news and service calls in 3 months since January 2024

what we would really not like to see happen is that have uh this license application denied which I believe it was filed on behalf of Milwaukee 45 Hospitality LLC only then to be stuck with not being able to reapply for a license uh for 12 months from the date of denial especially when uh given Mr pun Walla statements about doing everything that needs to be done to bring this property to where it needs to be so that it can be uh uncondemned if you will and get a certificate of occupancy back

I I don't I don't think we have been given a a right opportunity to explain anything we we have never hea
