Asst. <br />Motion by Rymarchick, seconded by Cowan to approve the July 20, 1976 <br />Planning Board minutes, as submitted. <br />The adoption of the new zoning ordinance was discussed. Members <br />requested copies of the ordinance as soon as possible. <br />Mr. Jack Lawrence of Signcrafters was not present to present his <br />request for a variance to permit a free-standing sign at Pizza <br />Hut, 3901 Stinson Boulevard. <br />,Ar. Rymarchick expressed his concern about the unsightliness of <br />Sroga's Standard Service Station, 3201 Stinson Boulevard, and <br />felt the City should encourage Mr. Sroga to clean the property up. <br />It was noted that when the Planning Board approved the permit for <br />the service station in 1953, the members stipulated that the <br />premises "be kept clean and orderly with no accumulation of old <br />cars, tin -cans or other debris". <br />Mr. Cowan advised that the City should diplomatically advise <br />Mr. Sroga to tidy up the property. <br />Motion by Mr. Rymarchick, seconded by Mr. Marks to direct the <br />City staff to contact Mr. Sroga about cleaning up his service <br />station and surrounding land and to solicit Mr. Sroga's proposals <br />for cleaning up and dressing up his station. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />The Planning Board members suggested that the City Council <br />investigate the possibility of storing abandoned vehicles at <br />the Public Works Department yard, room permitting, thereby <br />reducing the number of vehicles stored at Mr. Sroga's station <br />and also collecting the storage and/or disposal fees for the City. <br />Jim Fornell was directed to research ordinances on group care <br />houses, family care houses, etc. as a possible amendment to the <br />zoning ordinance. He is to report back at the September Planning <br />Board meeting. <br />Mr. Marks wondered about the status of discussions on the St. <br />Anthony Shopping Center. He was informed that Wil Johnson is <br />most knowledgeable about the latest activities. <br />
