-6- (:3) A "piece-by-piece" development in that area. is not desirable. . Motion carried unanimously. Peggy Allguire had followed. the Commission's suggestion. that she present a formal plan for remodeling her. home at 3053 Harding Street N.E. when- she- presents her-request to the Council for a four foot front yard setback variance for an entryway. She indicated which of two roof- lines her builder had .suggested she believed would provide the greatest safety in event of fire. The. roof line had been one of the_ concerns, of . the Commission when it had recommended, denial of her request 'because of "lack of documentation to assure -compatible aesthetics of the addition to' the ,existing dwelling" . Motion by Councilman Sundland and seconded by Councilman Ranallo to grant to Peggy Allguire a- .four -foot front yard setback variance to the City Zoning Ordinance for- an entryway to the structure at 30-53 Harding Street N.E. finding- the project, as proposed, will result in energy saving for the owner,, will. not have an injurious effect on the neighborhood and will follow the recent precedents of permitting more living space for. residences.

He couldn't see where permitting -a .64 square foot sign, where only 32 square feet is allowed, would "make an iota.. of .difference" . It was also noted none of -the fixing-up behind the center, promised for the past weekend, had apparently been started. Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by 'Co.uncilman Ranallo to deny the request from St. Anthony Village Shopping Center, Inc. to retain the existing 64 square foot "For Lease" sign finding, as did the Planning Commission, that, an adequate size sign can be con- structed to conform to the City Sign Ordinance which will also allow the shopping center adequate exposure. Voting on the motion: Aye: Marks, Ranallo, Haik and Letourneau. Nay: Sundland. Motion carried. Motion by Councilman Sundland and seconded by Councilman Ranallo to grant a sign variance for a two-sided 5 X 6 foot price sign to be located. on the existing freestanding "Standard" sign at Dick' s
