Planning and Zoning September 8, 1982 Page Two •Mr. Johnson asked if there was a hardship to the land and Mr. Davidson said even if the trees were removed, a clear sight line would not be possible. He felt his concern was the destruction of the fairly large Pine trees. ti- Mr. Juleen said he had driven through the pmt and did not have a problem with sight but felt it would be a sharhe to destroy the trees and he didn't feet that would make too much difference. There was discussion on the need for traffic control signs and where they could be needed. Mr. Prokop moved to recommend to the Council that the variance requested by Mr. Charles Neslon be allowed on the boulevard slope per the City Engineer's recommendations on Lots 16 and 1. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Mr. Kolstad felt that this had been presented to the Council and the Council had sent back to the P &Z - since the City has professionals to deal with such matters, a lot of time could have been saved by heeding their advice. The motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Klaus asbout the installation of the traffic control signs - who takes care of this? This is handled by the Public Works Department and the Engineer. Mrs. Klaus moved to recommend to the Council, when this area is completed, • in the area of Lois Lane and Nottingham Place, this be inspected for the need of proper signs. Seconded by Mr. Prokop . Motion carried unanimously. NATHE - OFF STREET PARKING This matter had been before the Council at a Public Hearing on a Re -zone request to R -3. The Council had delayed a decision on the rezoning and had returned the matter to the Planning and Zoning and asked them to consider the parking that had been proposed and had been deleted by the Planning and Zoning. Mr. McLean pointed out that this property has less than the required frontage on a street. Also this application was for an R -3 zoning. Mr. Prokop stated his concerns with the possibility of cars using the drive= way for parking and blocking emergency vehicles. Mr. McLean read a letter from Chief Myhre noting the problem with the paring at the 49 Club and stating that he felt the additional parking would be an asset. Mr. Prokop suggested that this building be converted to a motel and use the entire parcel for parking. Someone suggested this would only compound the problem. •There was discussion on controlling the parking in the area. Mr. McLean felt there had been the suggestion that a fence be installed. Mr. McLean read his motion but it did not include a fence requirement. Mr. Prokop felt that he could not change his vote on this matter.
