Page 4 Mr. Glockzin said the problems at the Clark Station across 33rd Avenue did not apply to his present market and he intended to continue his strict managerial control over the business. He said without the gas to attract customers to his new store he would not be able to afford the rent on the building and the City might end up with a vacant building on its hands. fir. Vickrey told Councilman Sauer that recent court rulings allowed two permitted uses on a commercial lot. Iie said both uses are permissible if they are permissible individually, as long as they do not pose a hazard to the safety or welfare of the community. The Mayor then said that although the property in geestiu:.`•.:. now zoned commercial the Council should be afforded the opportun- ity to view some of fir. Claypool's other operations of a similar nature throughout the metropolitan area to ascertain whether there are problems. Councilman Haik asked that a !-.ra£`ioc: count be taken on the streets adjacent to the proposal to ascertai,ac:rhat effect a large increase in traffic at that intersection would have on the rest of the neighborhood. Councilman Stauffer also wanted a chance to look at other similar operations. Motion by Councilman Stauffer, seconded by Councilman Haik to table until the July 13th Council meeting any action regarding the Schroeder Milk Company request for a building permit for a Speedy Market with two self-service gas pumps to replace the Jiffy Market at the corner of Stinson Boulevard and 33rd Avenue N.E. and to request that the City staff make a traffic count of that corner and that the applicants provide a list of similar operations before that meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Sax was concerned with the time which might be required to put the new zoning ordinance into effect and said he wanted it made a part of the record that the denial of the building permit which is legally permissible is outside the }i_nr, of t" .C' Council at this time. Mayor Miedtke said the Council would probably have to relate to the existing zoning ordinance since the request for the building permit was made prior to the adoption of the new zoning ordinance. Mr. Vickrey disagreed that this was necessarily so. The meeting was recessed at 8:45 P.M. and reconvened at 8.,55 P.M. for a continuance of fir. Bowerman°s report on the June 15th meet- ing of the Planning Board. He related the informal discussion which. the Bo•=ird hadregarding the procedure t'•iey anticipated we o.U'l ba f--iliowed in the study they were to make on how to vitalize tt,,- St. Anthony Shopping Center.
