Miss Wyschnick, planning staff, said the project replaces temporary restrooms and will not increase impervious surface or impact natural features. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal and recommended approval on a 4–0 vote before forwarding it to the council.

Architect David Maroney, president of ATSR and the project architect, described durable, low‑maintenance materials and energy‑saving systems planned for the building, saying the design uses “very durable materials” and that the design includes features such as an “high efficiency, instantaneous water heater system,” rooftop-unit temperature controls and occupancy sensors to control lighting.

Why it matters: The project replaces portable restrooms with permanent facilities and includes retaining‑wall reconstruction; it affects school users, community sports programs (the Minnetonka Monarchs town‑team baseball) and visitors to Veterans Field.

Council discussion was supportive and included a request from Council Member Romilly that staff and the district consider sustainability features where feasible; Council Member Schack called the replacement of portable toilets with a permanent facility “a major improvement.”

Council Member Romilly moved adoption of the resolution approving the conditional use permit and final site and building plans; Council Member Schack seconded. The motion passed on a unanimous roll call vote.","The council adopted a resolution approving a new concession stand with permanent restroom facilities, retaining‑wall reconstruction and related site work at Veterans Field on the Minnetonka High School campus.",{"_33":85,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":86,"_41":87,"_43":88,"_45":89,"_46":90,"_48":91,"_50":92,"_52":93,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":94,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":95,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6499746,"Council approves temporary on‑sale liquor license for Unmapped Brewing after neighbor raises noise, notice concerns",1235,1258000,2493000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5595957-5fa14057766802dcfe6b1225a0482f00&start=1258&end=2493","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5595957-5fa14057766802dcfe6b1225a0482f00/thumbnail_1258000.jpg","/articles/6499746/Minnetonka-City/Hennepin-County/Minnesota/Council-approves-temporary-onsale-liquor-license-for-Unmapped-Brewing-after-neighbor-raises-noise-notice-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6499746-191eae0a16626630ebb5a08c396a0ecb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183365&Signature=Pxir-DrvJK43va1gze4kyTd8kKuSuQ4nxWqaRaI~hdA-TJItnnfxNDGW5JUBYRm04GuwenzGKTcUnCQBXJFzDYw4nZqBwz6bS0qcuxe3p2RQfZHtpMw6aKaz5fACN53C9E4vQNs3Cd22EqjyyNVm0dQmxns9Kya3t2N-Dwd8LRs4Cv5mmwSvn8yAHuGitHtuDTc9mOb-oUDdQJ~SHHEauc0RPKEXtYdk1dd4E-r1f1dXsV4~BxBoU8TZxw2lfNIOtD15s05ChQ87rXOimZANYCXb9YVpFeI3UdRJvn9UWVoo7cbfzfKWc2CMK1QmCKjpUMEh8iZXmoXFaRhQFs05qA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Minnetonka City Council granted temporary on‑sale liquor licenses to Unmapped Brewing LLC for two fall events — a Gladden Farms Hop Harvest and a Flannel Roots music festival — after a public hearing in which a nearby resident urged caution about noise and late notice.

Anne Hassfeld, a resident at 14616 Glendale Street, told the council her home is “right behind south of Unmapped Brewery” and raised two concerns: late neighborhood notice (she received the city’s notice on a Friday) and uncertainty about the loudness and duration of a planned outdoor broadcast of a Twins game on Sept. 6.

Miss Wyschnick, planning staff, summarized the permit requests and staff review, noting that Unmapped typically secures additional parking on nearby properties and that staff had not received prior complaints about parking or traffic for these events. Wyschnick told the council staff had reviewed the events with the police department and “we don't have any concerns.”

An Unmapped Brewing representative, speaking for the applicant, described the September event as a viewing party and said the screen and speakers used for the broadcast are “very directional.” The representative told the council, “I can promise you, you will not hear any of the noise from the September 6 event.” He also said the October 11 event will include live music but that the business “always try[s] to wrap it up at 09:30 at the latest,” even though the permit runs until 10 p.m.

Why it matters: The hearing reflects recurring neighborhood concerns about noise and parking tied to Unmapped’s outdoor events. Council members acknowledged Unmapped’s role in neighborhood revitalization while urging attention to potential “scope creep” as ownership evolves.

Council discussion and decision: Council members thanked the resident for raising concerns and encouraged direct communication with the business and staff if problems arise. Council Member Schack said staff will note past complaints (if any) when reviewing future applications. Council Member Calvert, who described Unmapped as a business that “has revitalized that part of the city,” moved approval of the temporary licenses; Council Member Romilly seconded. The motion passed on a unanimous roll call vote.

Post‑hearing comments from the applicant and council included a description of the Gladden Farms event format (on‑site hop picking, tent and parking-lot overflow, giveaways) and the applicant’s apology for the delayed neighborhood mailing in this first year under new ownership. The council did not attach special conditions to the license at the meeting.","The Minnetonka City Council voted to grant temporary on‑sale liquor licenses to Unmapped Brewing for two fall events after a resident raised questions about notification timing and amplified sound for a televised sports viewing event.",{"_33":97,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":98,"_41":99,"_43":100,"_45":101,"_46":102,"_48":103,"_50":104,"_52":105,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":106,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":107,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6499750,"Minnetonka council hears update on 20th Tour de Tonka; organizers report strong registration, volunteer needs",553,221000,774000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5595957-5fa14057766802dcfe6b1225a0482f00&start=221&end=774","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5595957-5fa14057766802dcfe6b1225a0482f00/thumbnail_221000.jpg","/articles/6499750/Minnetonka-City/Hennepin-County/Minnesota/Minnetonka-council-hears-update-on-20th-Tour-de-Tonka-organizers-report-strong-registration-volunteer-needs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6499750-2aa6192c28ee67a261b20dc078665aff/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183365&Signature=HjApynXT2UXza7z7QqdjloDrmreiFTu97-L99sahgyLr0FfO8BicybQWOaJxRPqH1zrME1N0-QSwmNoeJEyye6h9XiPLXLEmMl52Q6NCxTNO8wJuXSXC2vd18yScqNDV018Bq5FkrxTdy8JjIEgQsg1~fMZSo9GIwHCIc0~9R7rnY1si9~pYOPFAd4JerxI7n97pk2XFHPif6RCyRCiJS-ecyZggrWsjJWYYd4Tnscb~BGALAHSb2A8n1oG3WGz-LJySKqmPyBcmMtBolRaPZOXpVGwrBBT0WWR5P8TU~-YmWX7n1B73z-jlmU489d3Upzxk3NN~fFJmNashLb~3fQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Kim Carlstein, the city’s executive director for community education and a Minnetonka resident, briefed the City Council on the upcoming Tour de Tonka, saying the 20th-anniversary ride is “happening this Saturday.”

Carlstein said the event has “over 1,700 registrants” as of the meeting and that organizers “fully expect it to be up to 2,500.” She described five route options ranging from about 16 miles to 100 miles that traverse “four counties, 25 cities and riding on 143 unique roads and trail miles.”

Why it matters: Tour de Tonka is a major annual community event that draws riders statewide, raises funds for local partners and requires coordination across multiple jurisdictions for traffic and safety. Council members thanked organizers for the event’s community-building role and for working with public safety partners.

Organizers told the council they contracted a local company for commemorative merchandise and will host an archives display at the vendor fair. Carlstein said a longstanding group of 49 riders will mark 20 consecutive years of participation. She noted partnerships with the Minnetonka Police Department, First Student and the ICA food shelf, and said ICA has received “over $100,000” from the event since 2006.

Carlstein described logistics: smaller routes have about two rest stops while the 100-mile course includes five rest stops with entertainment and food; volunteers play a large role and organizers are seeking roughly 600 volunteers, including route captains and rest-stop staff. She said some parking and route coordination involves neighboring cities and counties and that organizers secure about 350 off-site parking spaces through agreements with local property owners for larger events.

Council members commented that the ride is “a huge part of what makes Minnetonka Minnetonka every summer” (Council Member Calvert) and expressed appreciation for the event’s fundraising for the ICA food shelf and for the volunteer base that supports it. Carlstein said registrants have donated about $2,000 so far at registration, and that organizers expect additional walk-up and day-of donations.

The presentation closed with organizers asking for continued partnership from the City and public-safety agencies; council members encouraged continued attention to safety and thanked staff and volunteers for supporting the event.

A council vote was not required on the report.","Organizers told the Minnetonka City Council the Tour de Tonka's 20th anniversary has more than 1,700 registrants, five route options across four counties, and ongoing volunteer and safety coordination with local partners.","actionData","errors"]
