Mr. Dunn asked if there will be any environmental impact to the wetland. There is a large pond to the west that drains through this property. There are too many unanswered questions. He acknowledged the entertainment provided for children, but it is a business and it must be reviewed carefully in terms of its impact to the neighborhood. Mr. Herr made a MOTION to continue the public hearing to the July 9, 1997 meeting in anticipation of the Council's action on the amended Zoning Ordinance; to allow the applicant time to resolve issues raised by neighbors by holding a neighborhood meeting; and to work with City staff and consultants to review the proposed sound system. Mr. Johnson seconded the motion. Discussion: Ms. Wyland noted that if the Council approves the Zoning Ordinance, this application could be acted upon. If there is any delay to adoption of the Zoning Ordinance, the Board could consider a text amendment with the same provisions as in the revised Zoning Ordinance at the next meeting and vote on it separately. Chair Schaps stated that to continue the public hearing gives the Council an opportunity to adopt the Zoning Ordinance. If it is not approved, the Board will have to take action on the application at the July meeting because of the 60 -day deadline of application review. That will also allow time to work on other serious problems, particularly fire code compliance. He expressed concern that the memo from the Fire Chief is dated April 24, 1997, but Mr. Rehbein is just beginning to take action to comply. Mr. Johnson stated that he will not vote for the conditional use permit if the building is not completely up to code. Chair Schaps stated that the work to comply with the Fire Code should have been started immediately. Another item that can be addressed by July is the sound system. Beyond those issues, the project will have to be considered in terms of whether it is good for Lino Lakes on its own merit.
