Councilmember Hodges stated that he felt concrete curbing would be much better for
holding up even though it did cost more.
Mr. Hartinger asked if it would be possible to have a combination of concrete and
bitumuous. Councilmember Hodges replied that if the area was going to be plowed,
it should be all concrete.
Councilmember Rowley stated that she felt concrete curbing should be required, as
bitumuous would have to be repaired yearly.
Councilmember Ziebarth stated that he also agreed that concrete curbing would be
best.
Mayor Pickar stated that he also felt concrete curbing would be the best curbing.
MSP (Pickar - Ziebarth) to release $2,500 of the deposit from the Launching Pad,
leaving a balance of $4,500, with the thought being that even with the $355 in
administrative costs, there would still be ample funds to cover remaining

JAMES REFRIGERATION - REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION OF PROPOSAL
Mayor Pickar reported that James Refrigeration has submitted revised plans for the
Burger Tower development and that the new plans eliminate the drive -in window
facility, increase the green space buffer zone on the north lot line from 40 to
83.6 feet, and reduce parking spaces from 64 to 63. Disposable dishware and uten-
sils would still be employed. The Staff has interpreted this to mean the proposal
is still for a convenience food restaurant which requires a conditional use permit.
The applicant has requested Council waive the six month waiting period provided
in Chapter 40.23, Subd. C (2), Reconsideration, so that his revised plan can be
reconsidered.
Tom Legierski introduced himself as the controller for James Refrigeration and
stated that he felt the revised plan allowed for a new presentation before the
Council. Attorney Meyers replied that the ordinance reads quite plainly that the
six month waiver cannot be waived.
Mr. Legierski stated that the plan had been changed considerably. Attorney Meyers
replied that the Council must decide if the new plan still requires a conditional
use permit. He also pointed out that disposable dishware and utensils are still
being planned, but if that were changed, a conditional use permit would not be
required.
Mayor Pickar stated that the restaurant still falls into the convenience food cate-
gory by using disposable dishware and utensils and thus could not be reviewed for
another six months.
Councilmember Rowley pointed out to Mr. Legierski that when he comes in again for
Council approve, the same questions will still be raised, such as traffic and noise
and odors and so forth.
Councilmember Ziebarth pointed out that one other thing that should be considered
is the zoning which the land now has is in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan
and that he would be more comfortable with what the Comprehensive Plan calls for.
