Chris Ross - Ross' Liquors - Mr. Jerry Anderson of Jamb -Archi- tects, representing Mr. Ross gave the Council a courtesy presentation of the proposed redevelopment of the southeast corner of Lake Drive and Main Street. Mr. Anderson also presented a model of how the cor- ner would look. He further explained that to accomplish the project Iand meet City Codes and the requirements for Tax Increment Financing (TIF), a variance would be required for a five (5) foot building set- back on the east lot line. He had presented the request to the Plan- ning and Zoning Board, November 12, 1986 and was told that they would not recommend to the Council a variance be issued because it did not meet the six findings of fact required by the Zoning Ordinance. He discussed applying the zero lot line code to the project, however, the City Planner felt that this section of the ordinance would not apply in this case. Mr. Ross is expecting to start construction dur- ing the coming winter so that the lease area is ready by June 1, 1987. Also Mr. Anderson explained while construction is progressing on the new building, Mr. Ross will continue the operations in his present buildings. There was discussion regarding acquiring an additional 30 feet from the lot owner to the east. Mr. Ross explained this owner has decided not to sell any of his land. Mr. Ross is trying to obtain the right of first refusal from this neighbor so that he could later enlarge his business. Mr. Reinert asked what is required for a zero lot line and what is re- quired for a five foot setback.

Mr. Marier suggested the ordinance be amended to allow for the five foot setback, but be written in such a manner that no other areas could meet the restrictions. Mayor Benson suggested granting a variance
