MINUTES Planning Commission September 8, 1988 FinaServe Sign Taco John's The City Planner reported that he received calls from Levitz, Art Flieshhacker and Ramsey County inquiring about the effect of the rezonings on his property. The City Planner reported that the public hearing at Council level will be held on September 28th, however, the Council will table action pending a recommendation from the Planning Commission. Davison informed the public that the matter will be on the agenda of the next Planning Commission meeting. DeLonais pointed out action on the Mid -West Spring variance which allows Mid -West Spring to maintain existing setbacks and not increase a non- conformity on their site. DeLonais felt the same situation was evident in the FinaServe sign variance request. FinaServe is improving their property and should be allowed to replace their existing sign at the same height and not increase the non - conformity. DeLonais felt the Sign Ordinance should be amended to allow this. The City Planner suggested that the Commission act on the rezoning of the Taco John's site, however, recommended that action on the Conditional Use Permit be tabled since the site plan was just received and there are some problems with it. The Planner pointed out that Taco John's is requesting B -3 zoning, which is what is proposed for the property in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
