<br />Planning & Zoning Connnission <br />July l, 2003 <br />Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />Mr. Kilian indicated that Ms. Bender told him that he would have had 12 months to act <br />upon the variance that was approved by inaction but, since that was not done, the <br />approval is void. <br /> <br />Kilian then asked whether he would have to wait for the next Planning Commission <br />meeting for a public hearing on the variance and then for Council approval which means <br />it would be two or three months before he would obtain approval. <br /> <br />Mr. Palzer indicated that Mr. Kilian could discuss that matter with Ms. Moore-Sykes. He <br />then said that it may be possible to hold the public hearing at the Council level to <br />expedite the process. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wilharber commented that he hopes this City has not gotten so big that it <br />has lost sight of common sense. Mr. Kilian paid the fee for the variance once and the <br />City did not act upon it. He then said that it is sad when the City has to depend upon <br />attorneys for everything when years ago a handshake was all that was required. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Wilharber, seconded by Commissioner Lakso to <br />recommend to Council approval of the site plan for 1695 Sorel Street with a five foot <br />separation from the property line, no zero lot lines, no occupancy of the structure <br />and approval from Rice Creek Watershed District. Ayes - 4, Nays - 0, Abstain - 1 <br />(Kilian). Motion carried. <br /> <br />Mr. Palzer indicated that he did not think this would make it past Ms. Moore-Sykes to the <br />Council agenda because a variance application is required. <br /> <br />Mr. Kilian indicated he would contact Ms. Moore-Sykes to discuss why he was not given <br />the information presented in the packet when he brought in the application and discussed <br />the plan with her. <br /> <br />VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS <br /> <br />Commissioner Wilharber indicated the County had become involved in the City's <br />vacation of Goiffan Road and said the church intended to widen it and provide angled <br />parking on both sides. He then indicated that the church is still discussing its plans for <br />whether to add onto the existing church or rebuild it. He also asked for any ideas people <br />had for celebrating the church's 150th anniversary. <br /> <br />VII. CONSIDERA TION OF MINUTES <br /> <br />1.
