There were no amendments or corrections to t,,e minutes of June 15
and 22, 1970.
A request from the Seventh -day Adventist Church for approval of
building an elementary school building in the southwest corner of
the Maplewood Academy property. It was determined that the area
under consideration would be at the end of the northerly extension
of Water Street. It was further determined that since no City
property was involved the request represents compliance with
Ordinance but that approval is largely academic. Discussion of
street access requirements was held. Marshall Tudor moved and
Tom Cone seconded, that a recommendation be sent to the City
Council that the request is not in conflict with any City plans
and that the owners make provision to dedicate a 66• street right-
of-way, along with property owners to the South. Motion carried.
Lloyd Schmeling was present to request a variance for extension
of storage space for Westside Grocery, 502 Harrington. Discussion
of set -back requirements and specifications for variance as outlined
in Ordinance 245 was held. Marshall Tudor moved that a recommenda-
tion be sent to Council that this request be disapproved on the basis
of non-compliance with provisions of Ordinance 245 and the definition
of variance as described therein. Motion was seconded by Dave Jensen
and carried unanimously.
A request from the McLeod County Historical Society for a special
sign permit was presented by Building Inspector Schmeling. The sign
is to be located in the Southwest corner of Library Square and
requires a special permit because it encroaches on the street right-
of-way. After discussion and examination of maps of the proposed
location, Tom Cone moved the permit be approved. Marshall Tudor
seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously.
There being no further business before the Commission, Tom Cone moved
the meeting be adjourned at 9:00. Dave Jensen seconded the motion
and Chairman Linder declared the meeting adjourned.
