which showed the exterior and interior of other Red Barn Restaurants in the metropolitan area. The applicant is seeking a rezoning from Shopping Center to B-3 because of the 100 foot setback requirement for building in shopping center districts. Discussion Mr. Uttley, Village Planner, indicated that after further consideration he felt that it would be preferable to not rezone the parcel from SC to B-3 but instead grant the necessary variance to setback which would be required if the parcel were to remain Shopping Center District. He indicated that this would provide better control of the property by the Village. Mr. V. Johnson felt that this would be a more reasonable approach to the application. Recormnendation Mr. Eagles moved and Mr. V. Johnson seconded, that the Commission recorrnnend approval of a special use permit, variance to parking requirement, variance to sign setback and variance to building setback required in Shopping Center zoning district with the following con- ditions: 1. That concrete barrier curbs be placed along the east boundary of the leased area. 2. That the parking area be stripped to provide a total of 13 diagonal stalls. 3. That a concrete barrier curb or pennanent concrete cllrbing be installed along Fernwood to the proposed driveway entrance. 4. That the light pole on the sign island be replaced with lights attached to the building. Roll Call, Ayes: Membrez, Demos, Eagles, V. Johnson and Kellett. Nays: None. The Commission also recorrnnends that the applicant investigate the feasibility of moving the access on Larpenteur Avenue further to the east to avoid the problem of having Red Barn customers who park in the Spartan parking lot having to walk across a maj or entrance point to get to the restaurant.
