Mr. McLean's Report Mr. McLean reported the Council approved all the May 17, 1978 Planning and Zoning Board re- commendations. The Council approved the hard shells for Lakes Addition IV and resolved the situation regarding 77th Street and are waiting receipt of the topog maps for the new park on 7th Avenue near Lake Reshaneau. Variance - Lyle Carpenter Mr. Carpenter has applied for a variance to combine two pieces of property with the commerc- ial property he owns on Lake Drive. The parcels are not zoned commercial and the Planning and Zoning Board questioned if residential property can be combined with commercial property without rezoning. Mr. McLean told Mr. Carpenter that he had talked to the City Attorney who said there were two ways to handle this matter. 1) Rezone the two parcels to commercial, 2) grant a Special Use Permit for the two parcels. Mr. McLean suggested rezoning as the better of the two ways since this is a permanent procedure and moved with the transfer of ownershjp. A Speceal Use Permit is subject to annual review and is not valid when the land is sold. Mr. Carpenter said he preferred to have the property rezoned and would contact Mr. Locher and determine the procedure. Mr. Gourley told Mr. Carpenter that the forms could be obtained at the City office and he would be placed on the July agenda.

Mr. Dobie discussed different possible street layouts and asked if the City would go along with installing the street in stages. Mr. McLean said installing the street in stages would be no problem but asked if Mr. Dobie considered posting a letter of credit for the street. Mr. Dobie did not know what a letter of credit was and Mr. McLean explained. Mr. Shearen said Mr. Gotwald, City Engineer, should see the lot layout to be sure it conforms to the over all City plan ans street layout. Mr. Hill questioned the length of the cul-de-sac. Mr. McLean said this could be discussed by the City Engineer. Mr. Gourley told Mr. Dobie that from this point he should consult the City Engineer.
