• • � 6 • Planning Off ice Hours, April 30, 198 Page 4 9. Federal Express Danny Dean, Heather Paiper, and Pete Gerzen, representing Federal Express Company, were in to discuss a proposal to build a business service center near the Fastbank site at the northwest corner of Highway 36 and Fairview Avenue. They propose a 6 x 10 structure on a concrete pad, to function as a drop-off for Federal Express packages. They note that Federal Express does sixty-three percent of the overnight express business in the country, delivering 670,000 packages per night. They do this by running fifty- six 727's and eleven DC-10's in and out of Memphis, Tennessee every night, and back to their respective cities for delivery the following day. Their building included a proposal for an antenna addition on the top on which a sign was printed. We noted that signs are not permitted on a roof structure, and that the antenna would not be approved on the roof of this small structure. We also suggested the signs be simplified to improve the appearance of the structure. We noted the need to have an analysis of the parking as relates to the shopping center square footage, so as to ascertain the adequacy of the remaining parking. 10. Westbv, 484-6784 Jim and Gail Westby live at 480 Lovell. Gail is the daughter of Ken Fabynski, now residing in the f amil� home. They propose to purchase the property directly north of the church, which at one time was redeveloped for a funeral home. ,This lot is directly south of the cul-de-sac on Lovell, and was oriqinally proposed to be two lots. The width is 170 feet, and would appear easily divisible. They're considerinq the possibility of app�ying for a duplex construction on the westerly most lot. This lot would be bounded on the west by the school property, the church at the south, and their second lot to the east. We suggested that this procedure could be followed by developing a plan for the site, showing how the duplex would work on the site. We suggested they discuss this with the neighbors in the area before proceeding with such a proposal. We noted the Council's policy to allow duplexes throughout the City as alternative housing sites, where conditions warranted. 11. Halverson. 464-298_5 C, W. (Boots) Halverson, his wife Pat, Steve Saunders, his wife Patty, and Steve Saunders, Jr., were in to discuss redevelopment of the McDonald's site on the west side of Snelling Avenue Service Road. Steve Saunders wants to develop a Kentucky Fried Chicken structure on this site (northeast corner) which would be leased by him from C. W. Halverson.
