<br />Councilmember Larson informed Council that Howard Pipkorn, son of W. E.
<br />Pipkorn, homeowner at 1757 N. Hamline, had attended the January 5, 1981
<br />Planning Commission Meeting with a Conditional Use Request to construct
<br />a 20' x 42' garage on the property. Mr. Pipkorn had previously been
<br />granted a variance to construct a double garage 1~' to 2' from the lot
<br />line. The Planning Commission had recommended approval of the Conditional
<br />Use however, Councilmember Larson read a letter received from Planning
<br />Commission Member, Erma Olson, stating that she had further investigated
<br />the matter and felt that the Commission's decision may have been based
<br />on mis-information as one adjoining neighbor had not approved the over-
<br />size garage. During the ensuing discussion Council was informed that
<br />Mr. Pipkorn did not present the Conditional Use Request until late in
<br />the day on the date of the Planning Commission Meeting thus making it
<br />impossible for Planning Commission Members to investigate the matter.
<br />Councilmember Larson moved, seconded by Councilmember Eggert that the
<br />Conditional Use Request be denied. Motion carried unanimously.
<br />Mayor Warkentien presented to Council his proposal to cut-off agenda
<br />items on Friday prior to Council Meetings in order to give Council-
<br />members adequate time to deliberate agenda material. He also
<br />suggested that no action be taken on non-agenda items, but that they
<br />be deferred to the next meeting to alleviate making snap decisions.
<br />~~ Mayor Warkentein moved, seconded by Councilmember Larson that the
<br />proposed suggestions be adopted. Motion carried unanimously.
