Meeting was called to order by Vice Chairman Lee Barry in the
absence of Chairman Len Boche.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
February 25 minutes approved as written.
PUBLIC HEARING
Vice Chair Barry moved to cancel the public hearing because the
person requesting the conditional use permit to operate an
amusement establishment in Bullseye Plaza was not present at the
• meeting, and because the necessary information accompanying the
application was not complete. The motion was approved
unanimously.
REPORT ON PROPOSED CONDITIONS TO GOVERN THE OPERATION OF
S MEN ESTABLISHMEN IN -2 ON S
Planner Hoyt reported on the reasonableness of putting proposed
conditions to govern the operation of amusement establishments
into a license rather than a conditional use permit. She said
that both Planner Malloy and Attorney Gedde recommended these
conditions be in the zoning code as a conditional use permit.
Without a conditional use requirement, these establishments
would be permitted uses, and not require Planning Commission
review and Council approval. Hoyt said both Malloy and Gedde
concurred that a condition that terminates the conditional use
permit with a change in business ownership is appropriate and
legal in a conditional use permit governing amusement
establishments where ownership and management are extremely
important. After a brief discussion and review of the proposed
language revisions to the zoning code, the Commission scheduled
a public hearing on the proposed zoning code for May 20, 1991.
UPDATE ON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Fred Hoisington, Planning Consultant, is in the process of
preparing a draft of the comprehensive plan. He expects to
present some material at the May 22 Planning Commission meeting.

SUMMARY OF CITY'S FIVE YEAR STREET IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Planner Hoyt briefly summarized the five year street improvement
program. She explained there are three ways to obtain financing
for the street work: 1) assess the property owner, 2) a general
tax, and 3) utility aid and state aid. Reconstruction is
scheduled to start in June, 1991 for the 1991 street
improvements.

CO T

ways to consolidate services. The Falcon Heights/Roseville
consolidation study is progressing.
