Acting M~zor ~¢terson stated he is not in favor of the fence for added storage space because other <br />businesses flaayexpect to be able to do the same thing but have less building space and a larger <br />fenced stoiage aXea. <br />Mr. Nissen Commented that the same tax base is present whether he has fenced storage or not. He <br />added that a¢co~ling to the ordinance, a fence constitutes storage. He also stated that he would like <br />Council to!~se$~ why a liquor store even needs 4,000 square feet to operate. He felt the ordinance <br />is antiquat~ and deserves review. He stated he did try to find other places to relocate his pawn <br />shop to but aoultl not f'md any reasonable enough in price. <br /> <br />Council agleed to review the ordinance. <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik stated she reviewed Mr. Nissen's site and felt that it didn't make <br />sense to c°n~trttct the fence in the location Mr. Nissen indicated he would because this area was <br />landscaped, :Sh$ added the proposed storage area cannot be relocated to any other part of the site <br />because it wbuld then interfere with off-street parking and loading areas. <br /> <br />Councilmotriber[ Beyer stated that June 25, 1991, Council granted permission to Mr. Nissen to <br />erect a fenoe for~the remainder of his 4,000 square foot requirement and over a year later, that has <br />not been eor~pl0ted.

He suggested <br /> Council takeipag blame for Mr. Nissen ending up with too little space for his liquor establishment <br /> because th{~ Council ordinance was not reviewed closely enough at that time. He added that Mr. <br /> Nissen's busineSS is kept neat. <br /> <br /> Councilme _7/ber'Zimmerman felt that six months did not allow Mr. Nissen much time to look for <br /> another building. <br /> <br /> Mr. Nissen sateda year would allow him plenty of time to find another location for his pawn shop. <br /> <br /> CouncilmemberBeyer felt giving Mr. Nissen such an extension would be a detriment to other <br /> liquor store owners. <br /> <br />Motion by C0unt:ilmember Hardin to renew Mr. Ralph Nissen's liquor license for one year with <br />the stipulatio~t~ that between now and then Mr. Nissen will determine if his present location will <br />become total;liqUor store or total pawn shop.
