Ms. Haake stated that she would like a legal opinion from Mr. Meyers
in a letter to the Planning Commission, as even with this motion,
they do not have a legal basis.
Mr. Meyers stated that Mr. Shelquist is correct. The word "hardship"
was more a reason to compromise a situation. The law is clear, but
the policy of carrying it out is the difficult part. Each lot and
block will have to be examined and acted on its own merits.
Mr. Anderson stated that he would have no objection on Mr. Herman's
behalf to a motion that would incorporate the same requirements as
exist in the Nelson request with respect to the easement.
MSP (Johnson - Shelquist) that we approve the Herman Addition's preliminary

south.

governed by the state building code and fire code and would be a
maximum of 328 people.
Mayor Johnson stated that the Planning Commission held a hearing on
June 23, 1976, and they have several comments from the citizens
surrounding the Compassion Center. He now opened the hearing up to
the public.
Robert Glazer asked if the Council were going to base its decision on
the impact on the neighborhood, or whether it will base its decision
on whether its operation or mission is good or bad. Important now
is what are the external effects going to be on the community. He feels
