Voting in favor: Flint, Montain, Mosher & Wood. Voting against: Lee and Larson. Motion passed. V.DISCUSSION ITEMS The Commission reviewed a site plan for Mr. Paul Steffel. He is proposing a new building at 1709 Main Street that would include two offices and a restaurant. Mr. Dale Dockendorf, contractor for the development, was present to review the plan. The site plan indicated 15 parking stalls. City parking guidelines indicate that 30 stalls should be provided for the building; however, this location is in an M-1 zoning district which allows the City flexibility to adjust regulations to fit the circumstances. Commissioner Mosher indicated that he has had experience with restaurant development and suggested that parking of one stall for each two seats would be more likely to meet the actual need. That would indicate more on the order of 40 stalls. It was noted that there were 8 stalls on-street that the Commission felt could be counted. It was suggested that something might be worked out to put overflow parking on the City land to the west. That would be temporary until that site develops as envisioned by the Downtown Masterplan. The Masterplan has adequate parking for all of the phases at full development, but adjustments may have to be made as each part of the plan is constructed. VI.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING ADJOURNMENT Motion by Commissioner Wood, seconded by Commissioner Lee to adjourn the meeting at 7:56 p.m. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
