MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />FEBRUARY 22, 1995 <br />uses. <br />Fahey pointed out that fast-food restaurants, for <br />example, seem to flock together. Fahey did not feel <br />additional fast-food restaurants were objectionable in <br />the Minnesota Avenue area. <br />The Planner noted that the original proposal designated <br />auto-related commercial in the Minnesota Street area. <br />Morelan stated that that designation seemed to make <br />sense to him, however, Council Members LaValle and <br />Scalze had concerns with it. <br />Scalze stated that her concern was not with the type of <br />development that was there now, but with other uses <br />which could occur. Scalze felt that new development in <br />this area should compliment the existing development. <br />Scalze stated that she did not want to see more service <br />stations along Rice Street. <br />The City Planner pointed out that the zoning ordinance <br />could be amended to exclude certain auto-related <br />commercial. <br />Morelan pointed out that some auto-related uses would <br />require a Conditional Use Permit. <br />The Planner indicated that if the consensus of the <br />Council is that some auto-related uses are acceptable <br />and others are not, the zoning text can be drafted <br />accordingly. <br />Jim Benson, representing Schroeder Development, stated <br />that they would very much like to see the moratorium <br />lifted. Spring is coming, and there are developers out <br />looking at property. Benson felt that auto-related <br />commercial was an appropriate use for the Schroeder <br />property. <br />The Planner indicated that the Schroeder property is <br />currently zoned B-3. Auto minor repair is allowed by <br />Conditional Use Permit in B-3 zoning, but major repair <br />is not allowed. <br />Scalze stated that she would be willing to lift the <br />moratorium for a proposal that would fit in with the <br />Zoning Code and would compliment the existing uses in <br />30 <br />
