-3- (.l)- The Flaherty house would have been built facing Hilldale if that street had been in when the residence was constructed. (_2) The variance is not based exclusively upon the desire of the property owner to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of land because it would probably cost him more than the property would appreciate in value. (3) There is a hardship created for Mr. Flaherty because he is on a corner lot and, therefore, front. yard setbacks and a rear yard setback are required on three sides of the lot. (4) There was no opposition to the proposal demonstrated at either considerations of the request before the Commission or Council and Mr. Flaherty' s neighbor to the west had testified during the Commission hearing that he favored granting the variance. Motion carried unanimously.. Commissioner Bowerman read the portion of the minutes which reflected the Commission's approval of a conditional use permit being issued to Craig and Mary Belisle to operate a video tape and movie sales and rental store at 2501 Kenzie Terrace. Mayor Sundland said he agreed with the Commission' s recommendation on the condition that the City could designate the location where a drop box could be installed. • The applicant, Craig Belisle , was present and told Councilman Makowske he plans to keep the store open from 11 :00 A.M. to 11 :00 P.M. and to design the drop box in such a manner that the same type of pilfering experienced by other video stores would be impossible. The Manager indicated the hours of the former tenant, the 7-11 Store , had matched its name. . When Councilman Marks told Mr. Belisle that, in the past, the main concern with. approving similar video operations in the City had been the possibility that X-rated materials might be shown or distributed in those stores , the franchise operator assured him that he intends to comply with all City ordinances and if they state there is to be no X-rated materials, "there will be none" . Councilman Ranallo warned him that the ordinance would be strictly enforced. Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Enrooth to grant a conditional use permit to Mary J. and Craig M. Belisle which would allow them to operate a Video Update movie, and VCR rental and sales store, as proposed, at 2510 Kenzie Terrace N.E. , .under the conditions that: (1) There would be no viewing of tapes in the store, except for bona fide demonstrations of tapes and no viewing would be visible from • outside the store.
