Chairman Stefanson advised that Member Sullivan ABSENT was unable to return from out-of-town for the meeting but had .expressed her concerns in a memorandum dated August 17, which was read to the Planning Commission as follows: (1) B & J should be required to put up additional screening, (2) what type of screening will Bullseye put in back yards along wall? (3) should consider additional landscaping along both Snelling and Arona with other five trees, and (4) strongly opposed to condemnation, extremely costly to city. The Planning Commission reviewed the conditional use request from B & J APPROVAL Midway Floral, Inc. The property owner was advised that EB zoning now OF CONDIT- applies to the property. B & J Midway Floral, Inc. presented a sketch ZONAL USE indicating either the placement of a shed or garage. Member Nilsen advised REQUEST BY that on page 52 of the Zoning Ordinance the placement of a structure should B & J be 40 feet from the north property line. After discussion concerning placement, MIDWAY agreement was reached that the structure--a garage as preferred by the property FLORAL owner--should be placed on the blacktopped area of the lot. Therefore, Member Mead moved that the garage should be constructed on the northeast section of the lot not less than 52 feet from the north property line maintaining the same distance from the east property line as the present greenhouse structure with a provision that the garden area, indicated on the sketch, be sodded in the spring. Member Olson seconded the motion. Member Nilsen offered an amendment to the motion that the existing structure and debris be removed before the new structure is erected. Members Mead and Olson approved the addition of the amendment to the original motion. Upon a vote being taken, the motion was approved unanimously. Bob Collins, Bullseye Golf, Inc. reviewed the variances as follows: (1) erection of the Bullseye structure to within six inches of the rear alley line, (2) decrease in the size of the parking space to 9' x 18', plus 17 spaces which are designed for compact cars and are 8' x 18', (3) proposed parking and drives have no setback at the street right-of-ways, and (4) parking to be within 5' of the building at the east and west ends and along a portion of the south side. Bullseye Golf, Inc. is also requesting approval of a conditional use request to use a portion of the proposed building for warehousing. Mr. Collins then reviewed the number of parking spaces on the site (104) and how the calculation was arrived at. He also distributed copies of the revised site plan indicating that there may be a possibility of a reduction in the size of the building by 1,500 square feet to accommodate housing a restaurant in the building on the east end (Flameburger). The change in the site plan provided for additional needed parking to accommodate the restaurant (eight spaces). Mr. Collins was not sure at this point whether the additional parking was adequate so an additional variance may be needed in the future. BOB COLLINS, BULLSEYF GOLF, INC.
