HAROLD PHELPS: This case was erroneously placed on the February 22, 1983 Council agenda and Council denied it at that meeting. It has been normal practice that the party who is requesting a variance, conditional use permit, home occupation permit, etc. be present or have his representative present at the meeting. However, no one was present at the last meeting on the part of the Phelps. -The concern I have in this case is why the Council denied the request, as it appears to me that we are not being consistent in our approach to grant- ing this type of a variance. I asked the Building Official to submit a memo on it and I am enclosing this memo as enclosure (D2-c). As you will note, we have granted this type of request before and we have also refused them. The Tom Halker request we.denied was a proper denial. The Phelps request is entirely different however and I would recommend that we secure a restrictive covenance which would become part of his deed and would pro- hibit further subdivision of land until a City street was in place. Council Action: Your action would be to reconsider the action you took at your February 22, 1983 meeting. CASE #3: INSTALLATION OF DRINKING FOUNTAIN AT THE WARMING HOUSE: At the February 22, 1983 Council meeting, the City Council received a petition from the children and adults requesting that a drinking fountain be installed at the warming house at the Ramsey Elementary School. At that time, Council requested that the public Works Superintendent look into the issue and report back at the March 22, 1983 meeting. Accordingly, enclosure (D2-d) contains a memo from the Public Works Super- intendent in regards to the installation of a drinking fountain at the warm- ing house. He points out that due to various things, at this time it would be best to purchase a five gallon insulated cooler and provide a cup dis- penser and paper cups. He states that this will be a letdown to the children who signed the petition but due to the circumstances involved it is the best alternative the City has. /
