• • • Planning & Zoning Board October 8, 1997 Page 21 Mr. Herr expressed agreement that more information could be available, but that he was not sure that obtaining it would be helpful. He added his feeling that there is a place in the community for the American Legion, and that there is not a better place than the proposed location. Mr. Herr stated that the questions raised by residents could be sufficiently answered by the City Council. Mr. Hermann returned to the podium, asking about conditions for issuance of a liquor license, and whether or not licensees were sufficiently monitored. Mr. Gelbmann stated that the Legion does many positive things for a community, and asked that focus be returned to the Planning and Zoning Board's responsibility at this time. Absent complete information, Mr. Gelbmann expressed his feeling that a determination regarding this item should be tabled. Mr. Herr made a MOTION that a determination on the American Legion's conditional use permit request be tabled for one month to allow for a neighborhood meeting, after which the matter can come before the Planning and Zoning Board for public hearing. Mr. Dunn and Mr. Gelbmann rescinded the previous motion to close the public hearing. Motion carried 5 -0. Ms. Wyland asked that the applicant be given direction as to whom he should include in the proposed neighborhood meeting. Further discussion resulted in agreement that the neighborhood meeting should include households in the Sherwood Green Development, Lino Air Park and Behm Century Farm. Mr. Johnson added that issues which must be clarified are parking, security, and recourse if liquor license is misused. Ms. Dahl supported the motion by Mr. Herr to continue this proposal. Motion carried 5- 0. D.
