I I I Council Meeting Minutes August 9, 1994 Page 3 Council Business. continued Samuelson said one concern brought up at the Planning Commission was that if the rezoning was approved, there is a possibility that a ownership or business use change may occur. She feels there is no guarantee that an ownership change would not occur, however, the building's design somewhat limits other business uses. Mattila said a B-1 District allows for office or dental businesses, and disallows gas stations or other high traffic type uses. He feels this proposal appears to be the best use of a B-1 District. Benke noted the location of air conditioning units on the 10th St. side, and asked if they could present a noise concern to adjacent properties. Mattila said the applicant proposes to provide landscaping near the units; and those neighbors to the east did not feel the location of the units were a problem. Williams noted that the building's square footage appears to be 10% of the total lot size and is really not much larger than a good sized home. Jim Strapco, Architect, said the property owner to the east was contacted and requested the air conditioning units be moved further south. These units are similar to those used in homes and are much quieter than commercial units. Samuelson said previous attempts to locate a tenant for the site has been difficult, and noted support for the project because it is an excel1ent use for that site. Williams agrees the structure's design fits in with the neighboring properties. Dr. Jalali attempted to design a building which would blend in well with the neighboring properties. He is very anxious to begin construction and the facility should open by the end of this year or early next year. Benke feels this proposal provides a positive and acceptable addition to that corner.
