Ivan, representing the applicant, explained the circumstances surrounding the delay in opening the establishment and requested the licensing moratorium placed on July 20, 2015, be lifted to allow for his establishment to begin operating. Kris Studniski, 9936 - 17e Avenue NW, Elk River, asked for clarification of what types of massages Joy Massage would be providing, stating her concerns with the location near a day care center and her Google search of their business name indicated their services offered were "sensual massage Elk River, MN for most trustworthy sacred sexual massage." Ms. Allard stated she wasn't sure of the source of Ms. Studenski's information so she couldn't answer specifically to it, but the information Ms. Studniski provided did not come up during any background checks and she indicated the applicants both successfully passed their background investigations.
