-5- Mr. Sopcinski suggested the motion be amended to state "finding that the platting line follows the residential placement of property between 39th Avenue N.E. and Silver Lane and Mr. Blanske 's plans for future development of the northeast corner of Lot 1 on the corner of Penrod Lane and Silver Lane to be in conformance with the property development on Penrod, i .e. , residential, and the remainder of Lot 1 on Silver Lake Road could conceivably be utilized in a manner similar to -the Hedlund PUD" . Mr. Jones agreed to the amend- ment, but following protests of Mr. Marks and Mr. Bjorklund to the amendment's suggestion that the property be commercially developed as well as insistence of Mrs . Thompson that the suggestion "was out of order" followed by the Manager's recommendation that there be no reference to the PUD development, he withdrew his motion with Mr. Sopcinski ' s concurrence and submitted the following in its stead: Motion by Mr. Jones and seconded by Mr. Bjorklund to recommend Council approval of the preliminary plat proposed by Mr. Blanske in the survey dated August 28 , 1979 , finding that: the lot sizes meet the requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance and the usage suggested by Mr. Blanske is in conformance with that of the surrounding neighborhood. Motion carried unanimously. The public hearing on the proposed addition for the Red Owl Store in the St. Anthony Shopping Center was opened by Mr. Marks at 10 :28 p.m. • Mr. Fornell confirmed that all application, publication and notification requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance had been met and no one present reported failure to receive nor objected to its contents. In the absence of the building owner, Kraus Anderson Company, John Kuehnow, the store 's manager, and Walter Betts , also representing Red Owl, presented the request for a variance to the rear yard set- back requirements set for commercial property in the City Zoning Ordinance. The variance would permit Red Owl to construct an addition in the rear of the existing building to within nine feet of the pro- perty line. Mr. Kuehnow said the enclosed addition will be a 50-foot extension of the existing loading dock with the entire loading area now to be sprinklered. There will also be a 1514" by 74" addition on the front of the building which will require no variance. These additions are to be made in conjunction with the complete renovation of the exterior and interior of the existing building for the incor- poration of the Snyder Rexall operation within the grocery store. There was no public input and the public hearing was closed at 10 :43 p.m. Mr. Bjorklund doubted whether even the existing building meets the parking requirements of the City Zoning Ordinance within the property owned by Kraus Anderson, but this point could hot be verified. He was concerned that a good deal of the parking was on the Saliterman center property and was concerned this space might be no longer avail- able for parking if that center should be redeveloped as suggested in the Comprehensive Plan. He was also concerned about the firefighters ability to manuever down the gap between Red Owl and the Northgate Motel building and questioned whether the new addition will contribute
