• Voting on the motion: Aye: Sundland, Haik, Stauffer and Sauer Nay: Miedtke Motion to table carried. Council members agreed to document in writing by July 5th all the con- ditions they wished to have included in the Concept Development Plan and these are to be distributed by Staff to each of them and a copy of each made available to the applicant prior to July 8th. The discussion of the P.U.D. was continued with Councilman Stauffer ex- pressing her opposition to specific designation of architectural style for the commercial buildings she wanted only "consistent architectural style" stipulated. The City Attorney said the City could not have architectural control at its complete discretion and that he felt the courts would rule only reasonable control could be exerted. Councilman Haik said she felt "any strip shopping center was unpalatable and not attractive to the City as a whole and would not be cohesive ad- dition to the community" . The Board representative then continued with the June 21st minutes giving the Board' s recommendations regarding the expansion of the- Berger Transfer • and Storage, Inc. , building along 37th Avenue N.E. William Dircks of Berger said his company would experience a hardship if they were not allowed to expand their building. The Berger manager said the proposed addition would require not only the 4 . 85 foot front yard variance but also the side yard variance which will permit the building to be constructed within 2 . 8 feet of the property line. Mr. Fornell 's memorandum of June 27th provided clarification of the size of the front yard setback variance required. Henry Murloswki of Belaire Buildings indicated on the site plans how the southwestern corner of the building could be built with a jog to prevent visual blockage of the Auto Trac building to the west. Motion by Councilman Stauffer and seconded by Councilman Haik to grant a sidy yard variance to the City Zoning Ordinance to Berger Transfer and Storage, Inc. , which will allow them to expand their existing building on 37th Avenue N.E. , within 2. 8 feet of the westerly property line because the topography of that parcel and other factors constituted conformance with the variance section of the Zoning Ordinance. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Fornell confirmed that the addition will conform to the floor area requirements of the City Ordinance. (4)
