City Council minutes, June 5, 1978
There �eing no one wishing to speak, the Mayor declared the hearing closed,
In response to Councilman Griak, the Planning Director explained the zoning
change applica�ion (item 6d) as it relates to the application for preliminary
plat. H� outlined �he existing and proposed zoning in the area and
summariz�d the Planning Department report on the zoning change. He said
the 5ingle-�amily house abutting the property will continue to exist and,
due to the topography, the extension of the Embers parking lot to the east
of the house will not create an adverse effect. He noted the Council will
be considering a special perm�t request to expand the restaurant at second
reading of the ordinance changing the zoning, if approved.
The Planning Director submitted a petition executed by eleven property
owners opposing rezoning 1325 Pennsylvania Avenue to allow commercial use.
Councilman Martin noted the parking lot expansion adjacent to the single-"
family structure will be used for overf 1ow parking and therefore will not
receive heavy use.
It was moved by Councilman Meland, seconded by Councilman Backes, to approve
t-��� the preliminary plat with the following conditions : 1) Six-foot-wide utility
easements shall be provided on either side of the side and rear lot
lines, and a 10-foot-wide utility easement shall be provided along the front
lot line; 2) for the purposes of building addresses and yard setback areas,
the portion of Lot 1 abutting the frontage road to Highway 12 shall be
designated the lot front; 3) a drainage plan shall be provided and approved
in accordance with the requirements of the Director of Public Works prior to
fhe approval of the final plat.
Councilman Griak felt a more compatible use other than expansion of parking
could have been made of the portion of the single-family property proposed
to be included in Lot 1 of the preliminary plat.
Henry Crystal, representing the applicant, stated the owner of the single-familY
property is aware of the proposed use of a section of his land and has agreed
to sell to E.M.S. Systems for this purpose.
After further discussion, the motion passed 6-1 (Councilman Griak opposed)•

purchased it elsewhere, thereby sub�ecting an owner to prosecution when
no offense occurred. He continued that frequently minors consume liquor
in more than one on-sale establishment during an evening and perhaps the last
estab.lishment visited will be prosecuted. He suggested placing this burden on
the owner may also affect employee behavior; extortion and ethics must a�so
be considered. He continued that if an operator decides to plead not guilty,
the City must incur considerable legal expense; if judged guilty, the City
would still have the authority to close the establishment a number of days
as�it is currently empowered to do.
Councilman Hanks concurred; he stressed the intent of the motion is not to
