-4- the City Zoning Ordinance and the usage suggested by Mr. Blanske is • in conformance with that of the surrounding neighborhood. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Blanske was present, but did not comment during these proceedings . The site plans for the proposed addition to the Red Owl building in the St. Anthony Shopping Center, as well as the original building plans for that structure, were presented by Harlan Opheim and Kenneth 0. Parke, representing the business owner, Kraus Anderson Building Company. Questions raised by the Board regarding the parking for the existing building were settled to the Council 's satisfaction when it was demonstrated Kraus Anderson owns land to the west of the building which could accommodate 180 parking spaces where the City Zoning , Ordinance only requires 96 . Mr. Fornell pointed out that the existing grocery operation will be reduced to incorporate the Snyder Drug Store, sans restaurant, and the usage will remain "C" after the renovation. Mr. Berg said there was no opposition to the proposal by the City Fire Department, following its review of the plans. Motion by Councilman Ranallo and seconded by Letourneau to grant an eleven-foot rear yard variance along the southeast property line of the Red Owl building, 2550 Highway 88, which will allow the addition to the building as proposed, subject to staff review of the building • plans and their conformance with all building , fire and safety codes and submission of a signage plan which is in conformance with City ordinances , finding that the addition only continues the existing building lines and the adjacent building has a similar property line setback. Motion carried unanimously. A question of whether the Board could recommend approval of the warehouse office building proposed to be erected by C. G. Hill on the property he owns in the St. Anthony Industrial Park if the granting of the variance varied from that in the notice of the public hearing on the subject, was settled when Mr. Hill announced he had revised his plans for the building to bring it into confor- mance with the notice and still maintain the setback between his property and the Cassidy property to the north which will be consis- tent with other buildings on Anthony Lane. These revisions will necessitate a variance for only one parking space as well . Motion by Councilman Ranallo and seconded by Councilman Letourneau to grant all setback variances necessary for the building proposed to be built by C. G. Hill on Block 1, Lot 4 , except the southwest 45 feet thereof, St. Anthony Industrial Park (2924 Anthony Lane) as well as variances to allow (9 x 20 foot) parking spaces and one less parking space , agreeing with the Planning Board that the vari- ances should be granted because of the poor subsoil conditions on the site ; surrounding buildings have similar setbacks ; there is a substantial drainage easement on the Highway 88 side of the building; and the building as proposed does not appear to present a conflict with the adjacent property to the north.
