MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 13, 1985 PAGE 2 Don Hermes, Hermes Floral, 1750 West Larpenteur, presented a request for a conditional use to construct a utility building on the nursery property, and a variance to place the structure 14 feet from the. east property line in order that it will be in line with .the existing building. Councilmember Ciernia expressed concern that the owner of the adjacent apartments was not aware of the proposed structure. Following a discussion, Mayor Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Chenoweth, that the requests be granted with the understanding that the Clerk Administrator will notify the owner of the abutting property and if there are objections, they must be indicated within 72 hours. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Baldwin, that conditional use request from Roy Spaulding, 1879 Arona, to construct a utility building, be approved as recommended by the Planning Commission. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Eggert moved, seconded by Councilmember Hard, that Ernest Olson, 1687 Fry, be appointed to the Fire/Rescue Department subject to the required physical and one year probation period. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Eggert presented the proposed development agreement with Lido Cafe, Inc., and explained that he had met with Clerk Administrator Barnes, Attorney Gasteazoro, and Engineer Schunicht to attempt to bring together ideas regard- ing the proposed Lido plans. He stated that they discussed alternatives to the closing of St. Mary's Street since that seemed to be of great concern to the nearby residents. It was determined that adequate parking could be provided without the street closing if the Lido would down scale the seating by 15 or 20 spaces and slightly adjusting the parking ratio per seating spaces. Mayor Eggert had talked to Ted Meyers and Bobby Thomas, the abutting property owners, and John Labalestra of tYe Lido Cafe to promote private negotiations between those parties. All expressed a willingness to discuss the matter and the outcome of these discussions would affect the development agreement. Jim Bykowski, 1745 St. Mary's, questioned the fact that all date and dollar figures are missing in the agreement and was concerned that the agreement was drafted based on the closing of St. Mary's and construction of a cul- de-sac, when it is now being discussed to leave St. Mary's open. Mr. Bykowski stated that the residents are more concerned with maintaining the Croft property as a residence than over the cul-de-sac. He also questioned whether or not there is a written document agreeing to shared parking with Buck's Unpainted Furniture, whether or not Council has estimates on legal fees, etc. connected with the project, if condemnation of the alley is still a part of the project, and if so who will maintain the alley. Mayor Eggert explained that Buck's parking will not be needed, that St. Mary's could be designated one way to the south if neighbors feel it necessary, costs will be addressed later with the Tax Increment Hearing, that condemnation is still a consideration, but the City will attempt to negotiate with the owner for purchase of the alley, and that it would be a public alley maintained by the City.
