CONCEPT REVIEWS. 19 C. Bona, Unocal Expansion. 20 Ms. Moore-Sykes reported Mr. Bona has decided to scale back his plans for expansion of his 21 service station due to construction costs and the lateness of the construction season. He would 22 like the Planning Commission to consider new plans that would allow him a modest expansion 23. and to incorporate the old meat market building into the building plans for repair bays. 24 Mr. Roger Bona, St. Anthony Unocal 2812-27th Avenue N.E., stated he regrettably had to go to 25 Plan B when he realized the previously approved plan would cost$1/4 million over his budget. 26 He has entered into an agreement with Belair Contracting of New Brighton. The proposed 27 building will be compatible with Kensington and First Bank. It will be of a rustic character 28 constructed of dark brick and will be functional for himself and the community. 29 Ms. Moore-Sykes explained the proposal will include a second floor. The current building and 30 the proposed addition have a rear yard setback of 10 feet. Since this is a major reconstruction 31 and will add an additional 18 feet to the building, it will require a setback variance of 10 feet. 32 This variance could be considered a rear yard, side yard, or setback in a residential area. Chair Bergstrom asked if the required number of parking stalls would be provided.
