The motion carried unanimously (4-0). E. PC#05-03, St. Panl Lodee, #2 - I.O.O.F., 1174 Edeewater avenue, SUP Amendment Mr. Rellegers stated applicant had requested a Special Use Permit (SUP) to allow for site plan modifications which would reduce the size of the originally approved parking lot in Special Use Permit #70-36.
