I I I Council Meeting Minutes June 10, 1986 Council Business, continued ing type of use for that location. Therefore, Benke stated he had concerns approving the plat, and having that approval carry some expectations that the city really favors keeping the ashphalt plant there and developing a hardware store; has reservations with what will follow the proposed platting. Locke indicated the city's assistance, other than as it related to the Beisswenger property, is not being sought; believes if the property is platted and the Beisswenger property is approved and upgraded, that it may very well open up the opportunity for some- thing to happen with the asphalt plant property. At that time, we would have the opportunity to use tax increment as a vehicle. Locke stated the issue of the use in terms of the asphalt plant's use is a separate issue from the plat. Another concern Benke had was whether or not this action or any subsequent actions should be considered or precluded in light of the pending lawsuit; LeFevere stated the outcome of the lawsuit would have no bearing on this issue, and would recommend council act on this item. Schmidt asked if staff is saying there will be no request for tax increment financing assistance for the Beisswenger project; Locke stated Beisswenger's proposal is related to the issue of correct- ing specific nonconformities related to that property and the location of existing building. Going back to the proposed conditions, Benke expressed a concern with Condition #5 which reflects that approving of the plat creates some nonconformities and in order to get the nonconformi- ties removed the building needs to be moved, but to move the building Beisswenger need to get approval for the new building which they can't get approved until the city agrees to provide some financial help. Schmidt stated legally we have a request for plat approval; coun- cil can approve the plat in terms of what the staff may negotiate with the developer and what kind of message we are giving to the developer and to staff, they may find that, based upon how this plat is presented and the rest of the development that council would like to see occur there, council does not have to make any kind of assistance for this development to occur. Benke stated that it be clearly understood that approval of plat is a totally independent and isolated decision from subsequent development and approval kinds of processes. Page Nineteen
