SEMPER (W ALGREENS). COUNTY ROAD E & <br />LEXINGTON AVENUE NORTH. SPECIAL USE PERMIT (SUP)/SITE <br />PLANN ARIANCE/LOTSPLIT <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />It was brought to City Planner Chaput's attention that the Holiday Inn would not <br />have the required greenspace if Walgreen's goes in on the comer. A variance <br />would be required for Holiday Inn and a hardship found to exist. Chaput stated <br />that a decision needed to be made at the next Council meeting and that this case <br />would not go back to the Planning Commission. Chaput will be preparing a <br />memo with the options that the Council has available to them for their next <br />meeting. The memo will also state that her recommendation is to deny the <br />application due to the greenspace issue. Currently if the Council were to allow <br />the application, they would be approving Walgreen's without a variance <br />application from Holiday Inn. <br />
