Members Present: Cormnissioners Swanson, Stevens, Folch, Voelker, and Murphy Members Absent: Commissioners Reuter, Simacek, Conzemius, and Anderson Moved by Commissioner Stevens, seconded by Commissioner Folch to approve the minutes of February 27, 1984. Ayes, 5; Nayes, 0. The Planning Commission had previously reviewed this matter on February 27, 1984 and tabled it subject to clarification of the following items: The applicant had not addressed the issue of how parking is going to be provided for the adjacent duplex property that they are intending to lease to satisfy their parking requirements. 2. No lease agreement for parking for the adjacent property had been provided. 3. Property line discrepancies must be clarified before any final action is taken on the proposal. Mr. Loucks reviewed the application and indicated that 1.) all property line questions have been resolved; and, 2.) that the applicant revised his parking arrange- ment by providing seven (7) on site spaces and nine (9) off site lease spaces at Loesch's Bar and Grill (412 Vermillion Street) and Ace Hardware (427 Vermillion Street). It was noted that the combination of on site lease spaces meet the requirements of the ordinance, and therefore a parking variance is not required. A discussion ensued, at which time it was noted that the lease spaces were only for a one (1) year period; therefore, the City Council should be advised of this matter. Motion by Commissioner Swanson, seconded by Commissioner Voelker to approve the site plan, advise the City Council of the parking arrangement being proposed, and review the leased space arrangement in March, 1985. Ayes, 5; Nayes, 0. APPROVAL OF MINUTES P.W. MURPHY CON- STRUCTION, INC.
