Mr. Filla stated if the request were granted, they would need to add more specifics on landscaping areas. He suggested Mr. Welsch also obtain consent from the mobile home park owner to install the additional landscaping if it encroached on their property. He noted there should also be a timeline added as to when the landscaping was to be completed. Mr. Parrish replied a common condition was to have a landscape plan presented for staff or Council's approval. . Mr. Filla asked when the construction of the addition would take place. Mr. Welsch replied it would probably be in the spring of 2004. Councilmember Larson asked Mr. Welsch if they could wait for two weeks for a landscaping plan to be presented to Council. Mr. Welsch replied he was willing to have this continued to the next Council meeting. Councilmember Grant stated the addition was just over 200 square feet and while he did not usually oppose the Planning Commission's recommendations, he stated he was willing to vote in favor of this because the addition was fairly small. Councilmember Rem noted the Council had additional information that was not available at the Planning Commission meeting, so she felt comfortable voting in favor of this variance. Mayor Aplikowski closed the public hearing at 7:58 p.m. .
