MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 13, 1985 PAGE 8 Councilmember Hard made the following points: (1) health, general COUNCILMEMBER welfare, etc. would be enhanced by a cul-de-sac, (2) felt the covenant HARD requiring owner occupied homes would decrease value as it would limit buyers, (3) rental property is lucratiNe in the area due to the close proximity to the University of Minnesota and Harvest States, and (4) he would recommend shared parking with Harvest States, especially for banquet parking, with establishment of a more defined pedestrain walk- way, perhaps with Tax Increment Financing. He felt one condition that should be required with the conditional use is that there be a written agreement between Harvest States and the Lido for shared parking. Mr. Labalestra stated he did not feel shared parking with Harvest States is necessary but Harvest States has indicated a willingness to share. Mayor Eggert commented on the effect of deterioration of the business MAYOR area which is most evident on the northeast corner of Larpenteur and EGGERT Sneling, and the effect of deterioration on adjacent residences. He felt the business deterioration must detrimentally impact on the residential, and as business districts age, they must be kept up, if not the effects are broader than just the business district itself. Mayor Eggert also felt the Comprehensive Plan addresses that issue directly and there would be sufficient basis in the Plan to go forward with the kind of proposal that is being presented here. Some potential conditions he recommended were refuse, employee parking, hours of operation, style of entertainment, and screening. He also commented on the fact there is a distinct possibility there will be some type of legal action taken relating to property values. Councilmember Baldwin suggested agrement in principal contingent upon conditions and Mayor Eggert felt the conditional use should not remain in effect unless the project goes to completion. Councilmember Hard moved, seconded by Councilmember Baldwin, that the CONDITIONAL conditional use permit be approved contingent upon agreement between USE APPROVED the City and Lido Cafe, Inc., as to handling of contingencies expressed WITH by Council relating to management of the facility, scope and scale of CONTINGENCIES entertainment, parking, minimum improvements, refuse screening, berming, and screening, and hours of operation.
