The minutes of the January 21 Board meeting were amended to correct the date from January 14th to January 21st. Motion by Mr. Marks and seconded by Mr. Cowan to approve the minutes of January 21st as amended. Motion carried. Mr. Bowerman arrived at 7:36 P.M. The Public Hearing on granting a conditional use permit to allow Twin City Federal Savings and Loan to build on the southeast corner of 39th Avenue N.E. and Silver Lake Road opened at 7:40 P.M. Present to speak on behalf of the conditional use request were Mr. Qordon Bluhm, Asst. Secy. of Twin City Federal; Mr. Howard Dahlgren, President of Midwest Planning & Research and Mr. Dale Einess the developer. Mr. Dahlgren gave Twin City Federal's request for a conditional use permit of two year's duration to build a savings and loan branch office on Lots 8, 9, 10 except the east 60 ft. thereof, Block 7, Mounds View Acres, 2nd Addition as well as for a variance to the City sign ordinance to allow a 2518" high, 88 sq. ft. pylon sign, which flashed the time and temperature, to be erected in front of the building. He said the request for a conditional use permit only covered that portion which was 236 x 263 ft., or 1.4 acres, which would be used for the banking operation and the remaining 225 feet to the south which they intended buying would be held for possible use as expansion parking space. Mr. D.,hlberg showed site plans including a probable landscaping plan and pictures of other savings and loan operations which Twin City Federal now has in the metro area saying the property would be developed in accordance with the princip- le and density as shown on the site plans. There was no definite floor plans for the building since Mr. Bluhm told the Board they were unable to state at this time whether a one story or two story building might be needed at the time of construction. He spoke of the possibility of having a savers club or community room similar to those other financial institut- ions now have. The banker said most of TCF's existing one-story buildings were 18 feet high and their two-story Ridgedale office was 39 feet high.
