Dear Mr. Asayed:
This letter is intended to provide a written follow-up of the conversation I had August 19, 2005
with the site manager Casey Piquet, regarding the required licensing for Dance Halls within the
City of Springfield. Dance Halls are defined in the Springfield Municipal Code (SMC) as any hall,
room, pavilion, or place, except a private residence, in which a dance is held and charge is made
for admission thereto. It is my understanding, and also confirmed by Mr. Piquet, that dances have
been held at the above referenced location without obtaining the required license from the City.
Section 7.162 of the SMC provides in part:
No person shall establish, maintain or operate a dance hall within the City unless a license
for that use is obtained from the city. Every place or building where a dance hall is carried
on, whether for hire or not, shall be deemed a dance hall subject to the provisions of
sections of7 .160 to 7.168.
The reason for my site visit on August 19, 2005, was to inform Mr. Piquet that the dance hall
license application to the City, applied for on August 16, 2005 by Mr. Mathew Murin ofN & S
Enterprises, Inc., had been denied and the application fee would be returned. The dance hall
activities were considered as a change in use from the original land use approval. Without
securing additional approvals from the City's Urban Planning Division, the dance hall business
license cannot be approved. I informed Mr. Piquet the dance hall activities must cease and any
further dance hall event would be subject to a civil infraction.
