. III I III Council Meeting Minutes May 26, 1987 Gunderman asked why the Planning Commission made the recommenda- tion; Blomquist stated the Planning Commission directed the appli- cant to contact his lender for the option of transferring the land; that request was denied by the mortgage lender; subsequently the Planning Commission approved the request for a variance. Benke stated the alternatives are to deny the variance, continua- tion, or approve as is. Benke believes the approval process and the whole zoning change process suggests that 60-feet is no longer desirable; would be inclined to go with the wider lot in that par- ticular where other lots are wide. Benke would support continua- tion to pursue other options for consolidating the lots. Brandt agreed with Benke and disagreed with the Planning Commis- sion's recommendation; does not believe there are sufficient jus- tifiable reasons for granting a variance in this instance and sees no purpose for continuing the matter. Blomquist did not believe there is any justification to granting a variance, but believes council should allow the applicant one more chance. Gunderman restated the motion, Blomquist concurred, to DELAY COUN- CIL ACTION IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE PETITIONER AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT ALTERNATIVES. 3 Ayes - 1 Naye (Brandt) - Motion Carried Mattila reviewed staff report and site plans for approval to con- struct an addition onto the existing Perkin's Restaurant; explained city's Sanitarian met with Perkin's representatives and resolved Planning Commission's concerns, but that the condition for adequate food preparation area and additional refrigeration and freezer appliances was not deleted from LP-213 in accordance with the Sanitarian's request to assist him with obtaining the necessary facilities in the kitchen area. In response to Benke's concern, Mattila stated when the seating area is expanded, the food prep area and freezer space must also be expanded to comply with State Code.
