-4- - Mr. Childs said .he hopes .to furnish the worksheets and information necessary for the Commission to establish a six year Capital Investment S Plan for the City-, . including possibly having -speakers who can instruct them on how they should - go about setting .up the program. He reiterated. that he would schedule .the . P.U.D. hearing as early in June as he can because the developers are anxious to get started during this construction season. When Commissioner Jones asked about the reference in the Council ' s April 26th minutes to. questions : raised by Craig Morris ' neighbor, Mr. Childs told him Mrs . Behan had been given some erroneous informa- tion by Mr. Morris regarding the ownership of the property on which her townhome was .built. . He had advised her that it was her property over which the beauty shop .proprietor had been driving and if he cut across her sod again she should call the police. Commissioner Zawislak said he .would: be attending the League of Minnesota Cities meeting in June as . a .representative of another municipality and he wondered if there wouldany planning issues which might warrant the attendance of other Commissioners . . Mr. Childs will . find out and let them know, he said. He then distributed copies of. an. April 22nd letter from W. H. Kelly as well as a Certificate of Survey .for Lot 2, Block 2 , -Apache Plaza on which Mr. Kelly had indicated if the lot can be . split in half, he has purchasers for one .parcel for a. chi-nese restaurant. The Manager • indicated he was only seeking Commission reaction to creating two undersize commercial lots on the vacant land between. the Firestone station and Apache Medical Center ,on Stinson Boulevard. He said the division would leave only : 75 foot frontage where -100 is required for comercial development, but .Mr. Kelly, believes the fact that his pro- perty fronts - on two streets should compensate for the non-conformance of the lot size. Commissioner B,jorklund indicated he: believes building such a restaurant within the Apache Complex would be . less of a problem because of the. parking space which is available but he doubted a restaurant could be squeezed onto- less than a 15, 000 square foot lot and still maintain the required sideyard setbacks. He .noted.-that "another restaurant along Stinson would give it the appearance of -a "strip" but was advised the City would have no control over that since restaurants are permitted uses - in Commercial Districts . . Commissioner Jones saw four. entrances *on two small lots as .too tight and indicated he believed. parking would.be. a real problem. Commissioner Zawislak'. commented that the Pizza Hut property is possibly twice the size and they still have a problem with parking. Mr. Childs will .convey their concerns to the persons who want to build the restaurant if they come in to see him. He also indicated he would • contact the Apache management to see what could be done about the old non-conforming Apache sign on the corner of 39th Avenue. and Stinson Boulevard.
