-5- - , When the Chair asked what would happen to all the licenses granted to Chick' s if it is true that the businessis moving out of the St. Anthony Village Shopping Center, the .Manager told her those licenses are non-refundable and non-transferable and any change .would have to be made in March. . Healso told her. it must have been an oversight that the Planning Commission. had not been notified of :the .H.R.A. meeting which had been held May 10th, .but there should be no problem with the next meeting because Mr. Wagner would be representing the Commission at the Council meeting the same night and could remain for the H.R.A. meeting as well. The Manager also indicated he believed the Council agenda could be adjusted so there would not be such a long wait before the Commission minutes are considered. Commissioner Franzese reported on the Association ,of Metropolitan Municipalities Coalition for. Sensible Land- Use seminar she had recently attended. She indicated she had found..particularly interesting the sharp contrast in philosophies about zoning evident between municipalities . As an example, the Commissioner cited Roseville where zoning is established ahead of development..and. Eagan where the Mayor has indi- cated he believes zoning before developmenttends to restrict creativity. Commissioner Franzese -also noted Eagan has set up minimal square footage for housing. Referring back to the -new record .keeping system for variances and con- ditional use permits, Commissioner Jones. said he hopes the costs of . setting up the system . anc3 prgcessing_variandes , including staff time, would be figured into the application- fees and not absorbed by the taxpayers. Commission members had been given copies of the new ordinances and the Chair pointed several errors and omissions she had not-iced which the Manager indicated would be changed. Commissioner Franzese said she had. noticed there had been a number of door to door solicitations latelyand she wondered if they had been cleared by the City. Mr. Childs told her .COACT 'had been authorized to solicit by a letter from the State Attorney's office, which takes precedence over the City regulations, but he doubted whether the others had received permission to make door to door. sales. He advised the Commissioners to call the police .if there is any doubt about persons . who come to their doors . Motion by Commissioner Jones and seconded. by Commissioner Franzese to adjourn the meeting at 9 :10 P.M.. Motion carried unanimously. Respectfully submitted, Helen Crowe , Secretary
