Councilmember Sorteberg felt that if re-zoning were involved, it would be a different matter, but since this area is already zone UMB we should approve this concern. Mayor Gamec stated that his only concern is do we want a lot of gas stations and superettes throughout the City. We should keep our retail concerns more centrally located. Councilmember Cox stated that we have been working and spending money to encourage tax base into this community. Sooner or later, we have to let some retail business in. Motion by Councilmember Reimann and seconded by Councilmember Sorteberg, to approve of James Refrigeration's request to locate a superette grocery store and self service gas station in an Urban Multiple Business zoning district based on the Findings of Fact that was adopted by Council at this meeting. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Cox, Reimann and Sorteberg. Voting No: Mayor Gamec and Councilmember Van Wagner. Richard Kvanbeck approached the Council regarding Site and Design Plan. stated that the building has been moved a little bit north of what was originally proposed since arrangements have been made with the City and the dental clinic for a joint access driveway. He Mr. Schnelle suggested a more 'country' looking sign (redwood, cedar, etc.) than the standard pylon type. Council agreed with this suggestion. Councilmember Cox recommends some type of trees between superette and adjacent neighborhood to soften the looks of the business to the residents. He also recommends berming so lights do not flash into the neighbors windows. He also recommends a brick front-facing on the building in a palatable soft tone. Mayor Gamec requested a Landscape Plan from James Refrigeration and informed them that air would be required at the gas pumps. Councilmember Cox appointed Bob Zelenak to represent the people of the neighborhood and review the Landscape Plan. Mr. Schnelle will write a contract and present it at the next Council Meeting, in regards to the outer appearance of the superette, for the Council's approval.
