tion was a proposed registered land survey requested by

No. 1209, which comprehends much of the western perimeter
of the Brookdale complex. He stated the subject area was
located between Xerxes Avenue North and Brooklyn Boulevard,
from 55th Avenue North to 56th Avenue North, and consisted

seeking approval of site and building plans for an area
bakery goods distribution center, including a small thrift
store to be located on the south side of 69th Avenue North
between June Avenue North and Indiana Avenue North.
Mr. Tremere stated that the gross floor area of the
proposed structure was approximately 11,000 square feet
and the size of the parcel was approximately 1 .2 acres.
He stated that because of these dimensions, as well as
the current ordinance parking requirements, any future
-2- 12 -17 -73
use of the building for retail purposes could not be
permitted. He stated that the plans did comprehend
adequate parking as required for general commercial
purposes.

Y p Y
distribution point and sales office, with approximately
500 square feet devoted to a day -old baked goods store.
He stated that the bulk of the floor area, however, was
intended for the parking, routine maintenance and loading
of approximately 24 delivery vehicles
Mayor Cohen then recognized Mr. Robert Connell
representing the applicant, and a brief discussion ensued.
Mr. Tremere stated that substantial screening, including
berming, was recommended at the northerly end of the site
in particular consideration to the single family residents
across 69th Avenue North.
Mr. Tremere also noted the concern of the City sanitarian
relative to designated holding areas for fresh baked goods
which were delivered daily by semi- trailer trucks and held
for later loading onto the smaller delivery vehicles. He
stated that the sanitarian had indicated that the applicant's
food handling license could be jeopardized if inspections
by the department discovered racks of baked goods being
stored in the open garage area.
Mr. Connell stated that the dock area which was separate
from the garage was deemed to be more than adequate for
their holding needs.
Mr. Tremere then commented that Mr. Connell and
Mr. john Urbach of the City Sanitarian Department met
at City Hall on December 10, 1973 to discuss the possible
needs for additional enclosed holding areas. The applicant

(Ms. Sue Dunkley) The item was again introduced by the Director of
Planning and Inspection who stated the applicant had
recently received a special use permit for a nursery
school at the Faith Community Church and that apparently
the operation had been successful so to have outgrown
those facilities.
Mr. Tremere stated that the applicant has applied for a
revised license and proposes to open a facility at the
Lutheran Church of the Master, 1200 - 69th Avenue North,
for approximately 28 children. He further explained that
the hours of operation would be five hours per day two
days per week, and that the church had authorized the
use of the facility to May 1974.
He stated that the facility had been inspected by the
Fire Chief and Building Inspector whose reports are in

explained the nature of the operation.
The Mayor then noted that a public hearing had been
called for this application and that no one was present.
Motion by Councilman Britts and seconded by Councilman
Leary to approve Planning Commission Application No.
73044 submitted by Ms. Sue Dunkley subject to the
following conditions:
1 . The premises will be brought into compliance
with all applicable State and local require-
ments as to fire safety, health and building
code standards, and such compliance will

Planning Commission The City Council then considered Planning Commission
Application No. 73042 Application No. 73042 submitted by Mr. john A. Greenly.
(Mr. John A. Greenly) The item was introduced by the Director of Planning and
Inspection who stated that the applicant's property is
described as Lot 2, Block 4 Twin Lake Woods Addition,

effective lot depth of 117.5 feet on the north and 183
feet on the south.
He further stated the applicant's house was located in the
middle of the property and that there was a large inlet
lagoon located on the northerly portion.
Mr. Tremere explained that in 1966 the applicant proposed
dividing the lot into three parcels, Planning Commission
Application No. 66045, and the Planning Commission had
then recommended denial noting that a two lot division
would be acceptable. He stated that the item was not
considered by the City Council and that the recommenda-
tion for denial was apparently based upon the factors of
the inlet lagoon, location of the house, and the size and
shape of the lot.
Mr. Tremere also noted that the proposed plat compre-
hends the creation of a new lot at the southerly end of
the property; the new lot line would be 10 feet from the
existing house. He stated that while the new lot would
have an odd configuration, due to the deviation on the
south lot line, the minimum requirements of the sub-
division ordinance are met.
A brief discussion ensued relative to the location of the
west lot line indicated on the proposed plat versus the
location of the actual shore line. Mr. Tremere noted
that the proposed west property line lies westerly of
the current platted line. He stated that he had discussed
this difference with the applicant and had recommended
that legal action be taken to extend the lot line of the
property from that indicated on the current plat to that
which is proposed.

Planning Commission man Fignar to approve Planning Commission Application
Application No. 73042 No. 73042 submitted by Mr. John A. Greenly subject to
