There had been complaints regarding the parking'of vehicles on Lois Lane and the use of the property. Mr. Miller read the list of options he noted in his memorandum to the Council on this matter. He noted the applicant is willing to comply with all of the options and he is already in the building and operating his business. Mr. Miller suggested that the Council place a time limit for the completion of the items on the list of forty five (45) days. Gary Shipman, 907 Lois Lane asked how will the Council make sure that Mr. Simonson will do what is requested? Mr. Hawkins said it would not be unreasonable to require a financial commitment such as a bond or escrow to insure the timely completion of the items. Bert Noren, 785 Lois Lane said that a lot of residents are concerned about parking on the street. He asked if there will be no parking on Lois Lane and if there is not parking, will the Police Officers issue tags without a signed complaint? Arlene Averbeck, 7855 Lake Drive said she was concerned about the appearance of the front of the building and noted the appearance of A -Well and Apitz Garage as examples of her thoughts. She asked where would cars park, in the front or back of the building? She also asked if cars will be offered for sale in front of the building.
