<br />been reviewed, These tenants would split the space, He showed illustration of possible tenant
<br />arrangements,

<br />Chair Klausing asked about "undue hardship" finding and definition of hardship,
<br />
<br />Chair Klausing asked if no Cub approval, are there no reasonable uses for the site? Tim Prinzen
<br />explained the difficult details of leasing the site, When a vacancy such as Homeplace remains, it creates
<br />a domino effect. The goal is to find a stabilizing anchor tenant.
<br />
<br />Member Mulder asked what is the percent occupancy (today 80%+, 70-80% in late 80's, early 90's);
<br />were the lease covenants considered a "hardship" not of Bradley's doing, How much of Cub building will
<br />be back room or storage? (30%), Will Homeplace be torn down and an entirely new building replace it?
<br />(yes),
<br />
<br />Questions from the Public
<br />
<br />Tom O'Brien noted that no tenant has succeeded in the southeast corner. He requested no further
<br />expansion, More variances would be required for visibility, Bradley makes improvements only if it gets
<br />approvals,
<br />
<br />Ron Belcheski, 1391 Ryan, asked if there was a covenant or deed restriction prohibiting access to
<br />Ryan; if approved, how would deed restriction be changed? (depends on who the restrictive covenant
<br />ran in favor of),
<br />
<br />Lee Keller asked for required parking restrictions, Mr. Keller asked for the number of seats in the
<br />theatre,
<br />
<br />Laurence Schwie, 1383 Ryan, asked for details of holiday truck traffic and how to resolve it? Was
<br />Michael's Crafts denied use of the space? (no),
<br />
<br />Lee Keller asked if the Theatre asked for expansion into the Homeplace site? (no),
<br />
<br />Comments from the Public
<br />
<br />Lee Keller stated Har Mar is non-conforming, Is the variance in harmony with purpose and intent of
<br />Code? The proposal doesn't allow for parking and traffic lanes, separate from parking the lot. Keller's
<br />count is that 7,500 more trucks will use the site; more snow plowing; and more cars, Sharing the traffic
<br />and parking will conflict with Har Mar Theatre,
