Planning Commission Minutes -2- 9/8/80 • Clem Lehnen from Falcon Heights Bowling Lanes appeared regarding a variance to install a sign advertising his alleys. There was some question as to whether his sign would be a flashing sign, which is not permitted under the ordinance. It was felt that the City Attorney should be questioned as to whether this is a flashing sign and wouldn't be permitted under 14.1 (3. 2). The Planning Commission would recommend the sign, contingent upon a determination of the attorney that it meets requirements. Philip Meyers, 1899 Larpenteur appeared requesting permission to build a 4-plex on the vacant lot next to his property, East of his property on Larpenteur. He anticipates entry through the back part of his lot from Tatum and the question was asked if he should sdll his property at some future date, would that jeopardize the access? He didn't feel it would but that would be considered. There will be 1~ spaces for parking for each unit, which. is a one-bedroom unit, with the current construction cost estimated at approximately $150,000. He will come back at our next meeting (Oct. 6th) and inform us as to the site plan, which he was unable to bring with him, and. with the question of drainage answered. • It was felt that the Baryons should be called and apologized for any confusion in that they needed two permits: one for the pool and one for the fence. Carl Dale presented his swimming pool ordinance proposal and it will be turned over to the City Attorney for viewing and perhaps incorporating into his ordinance. A question was raised as to advisability to delete that portion of the Comprehensive Plan that states "proposed future major road - Fairview to Randall Avenue" as it looked as though the Planning Commission was not considering both the University and Fairgrounds' feelings, as well as some expressed by the County. Engineer.. It relates to the letter from St. Paul regarding our Comprehensive Plan. It was recommended that this portion be deleted and not show a further extending of Fairview Avenue. Carl Dale and members of the Commission recommended that there be some appropriate means of communication with St. Paul to discuss and find out what their plans and thinking are as to the various points in their letter regarding the Comprehensive Plan, as well as keeping the lines of communication open. It was suggested perhaps the Council liaison and Carl Dale, or someone else could arrange a meeting, if agreeable.
