• Mrs. Michaelhoff referred to the expenses she had incurred in seeking funding for the construction of the same house on the lot she owns at the corner of 37th Avenue N.F. and Silver Lake Road. Mayor Miedtke said he did not feel this hard- ship would warrant a variance from the City ordinances and pointed out the fire hazards produced by constructing buildings too close to each other to allow easy accessibility by fire fighting equipment which he said was one of the basis for the side yard requirements in the zoning ordinance. Motion by Mayor Miedtke, seconded by Councilman Stauffer to follow the recommend- ations of the Planning Board to deny the request of Mrs. Dale Michaelhoff, 906 W County Road D. for a side yard variance of 5 feet to build a 68 foot house at 3604 Downers Drive. Votion on the motion: Aye: Miedtke, Stauffer, Sundland Abstaining: Haik ,Motion carried. Mr. Letourneau gave the reasons the Planning Board had not held a public hearing on the Bernu Company proposal to place a free standing sign in front of the building they are erecting in the St. Anthony Office Park and Mr. Dulgar told the Council that Mr. Rod Bernu had informed him that the company had run into soil conditions which would warrant a revision of the site plans for the project and had requested they be allowed to present the plan changes later in the evening. • Action on the matter was deferred for the arrival of Mr. Bernu as well as other members of the Planning Board who had been invited to attend the Council meeting ` _ later that evening. After Mr. Letourneau explained that the proprietor of the Village Inn Cafe was unwilling to pay the filing fee for an application on a sign variance as long as it was not refundable if the application was refused Mr. Letourneau told of the Board's desire for an examination of the equity of all filing fees. Motion by Mayor Miedtke, seconded by Councilman Sundland to direct the Manager to review all licenses and variance filing fees and report back to the Council on the administrative costs of processing such requests and their relationship to the amount of the filing fees. Motion carried. The Planning Board representative told the Council of the completion of the Board's work on the revision of the City's zoning ordinance and a joint meeting of the Council and the Board to discuss the recommendations for revision was set for November 5, 1974.
