MINUTES City Council June 22, 1988 Taco Holland reported that there are three properties involved,comprising the John's Taco John's site and these three par•cels ar•e owned by differ•ent par•ties. (Cont.) Scalze asked if there was enough squar•e footage so that setback r~equir•ements could be met. The City Planner~ r•eported that the Taco John's building is located on one lot and par•ts of two other~ lots ar~e being used for• parking. The Planner• r~epor~ted that there ar~e ser~ious non-confor~mities on the site cur~r•ently, and under• or•dinance, the Taco John's building would only be allowed to be r•emodeled. The Planner~ stated that the City has the option to r•ezone the pr•operty and allow the constr•uction of the new facility, or• the City can just allow the building to be r•emodeled. Fahey stated that he under•stood the pr•oblem was that ther•e was a non- confor~mi ng use i n an i ndustr~i al ar~ea. He was not aware that var•i ances would be needed to meet setbacks. The Pl anner• stated that i f the Ci ty r~ezoned the pr•oper•ty, the proper~ty owner• could pur•sue land acquisition and combine the lots and then request a conditional use permit for~ a restaurant. However, if the proper•ty owner• can not acquir~e the additional pr•oper•ty, the City could rezone the area and gr•ant setback and lot size var~iances and gr•ant a CUP for~ off-site parking. A thir~d option would be to just r~emodel the existing building. Bob Schmidt, r•epr~esenting Taco John's, r~epor~ted that some of the land they would like to acquir•e is owned by the County and he is concer•ned that the County would not sell this pr~operty. Fahey pointed out that the City has not granted variances for~ other• pr•operty owners who have wanted to expand, but their~ pr~oper~ty has been too small. Schmidt r~epor•ted that Taco John's will pur•sue the pur•chase of additional pr•oper•ty, but wanted to know the City's position on rezoning. Fahey stated that he saw no pr•oblem with the r~ezoning since a B-3 zone made mor~e sense than Industr•ial in that par~ticular~ ar~ea given the sur•rounding uses. However•, Fahey felt Taco John's would need additional pr•oper•ty in or~der• to meet setbacks. The City Planner• pointed out that the Compr•ehensive Plan recommended B-3 zoning for this ar~ea, however•, the area was never~ rezoned. It was the concensus of the Council that the rezoning was appr•opr~iate, however, Taco John's would need to acquir•e additional pr~oper~ty so that the pr•oposed building would meet setback r~equirements. Saiko The City Engineer• r•epor•ted that he is pr•oposing that an 18-inch, plastic Dr~ainage pipe be installed along Sylvan Avenue and across Day Avenue to dr•ain sur~face water• coming fr~om the tr~ailer~ cour~t. The Engineer~ also pr~oposed Agenda two catch basins be installed as well. The r•un-off would be dir•ected Addition Page -17-
