It was <br /> added that if the request is approved using this <br /> schedule, moving the gas pumps and <br /> construction of the canopy could begin August <br /> 7, 1996. <br /> The Planning Commission inquired as to <br /> whether or not the variance request could be <br /> brought to the City Council. Acting Director <br /> Pruitt replied that, according to the attorney, <br /> the City Council is a body of appeals only, so <br /> the Council would only consider the variance <br /> request if it was denied by the Planning <br /> 411) <br /> Commission. <br /> Motion/Second: Brasaemle/Stevenson to <br /> recommend to the City Council a Code <br /> amendment stating that a canopy is not <br /> considered an enlargement of a legal <br /> nonconforming use. <br /> 6 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br /> The Planning Commission continued <br /> discussion on the criteria for granting <br /> variances. It was suggested that the resolution <br /> could be drafted to be formally adopted at the <br /> next meeting. <br /> Mr. Manke mentioned that, typically, gas pump <br /> canopies are 14'6" and that the size of his lot <br /> makes its difficult to arrange the structure on it. <br /> The Planning Commission noted that the <br /> substandard size and irregular shape of the lot <br /> could be noted in the Resolution No. 448-96. <br /> • <br />
