• Traffic flow patterns and provisions for safety for walk-in customers were illustrated on the model by Mr. Johnson who assured the Mayor no cut through the median on Stinson was anticipated. The landscaping and screening proposed for the project were considered and Councilman Stauffer said she felt the stated approval of the project by the owners of the mobile home park to the north was a definite plus for approval. Councilman Haik thought the condition set by the Planning Board which prohibited any reduction of the proposed landscaping/green area to accomodate more parking space should also be stipulated as a condition of approval. Other Council members felt this could be taken care of when the final landscaping plans are approved. Mayor Miedtke also pointed out the fact that the City now has the power to prohibit parking on either Stinson or Kenzie Terrace. Motion by Councilman Stauffer and seconded by Councilman Sundland to grant a Conditional Use Permit to the State Bank of St. Anthony Village which will allow them to include an eight lane remote teller drive-in facility when they build the banking facility they propose on Plat 63507, Parcel 7010 (approximately at 2401 Lowry Avenue N.E. ) . Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Councilman Sundland and seconded by Councilman Sauer to • grant a Variance to the City Zoning Ordinance requirements for off street parking for General Commercial usage which will allow the State Bank of St. Anthony Village to provide only 56 on site parking spaces for their proposed new bank building on the condition that additional parking accomodations for walk-in customers and staff are provided by the bank whenever a need is evidenced. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Johnson then said he and Mr. Farber would like to continue their efforts to work with the City to erase the "cancerous image of the St. Anthony Shopping Center" . Mayor Miedtke said should it prove to be true that the "out of country" ownership of a major portion of the shopping center has no motivation to make the necessary improvements on their property then "perhaps an HRA is the way to go" but he would prefer that the same goals be reached through the cooperative efforts of the City and the owners. He thanked them for their offer of services and asked them to keep "stimulating us to get the job done" . Motion by Councilman Sundland and seconded by Councilman Sauer to adopt the resolution by which the City requests an extension of time to make application for the grant funds available to aid in the plan- ning required by the Metropolitan Land Planning Act.
