reaction from Mr. Flannery. However, Mr. Flannery did state

Discussion was held regarding the on off entrance for the
Burger King Restaurant on School Street. Discussion was
also held regarding another entrance and exit off the rear
portion of the shopping center parkin, lot. Councilmember
Gunkel noted that Freeport Avenue could probably use a stop
light. It was noted that instead of a stop lisht perhaps
the area could be policed more frequently. Councilmember

made, but when the squads are not pre~ent things would be
bad: to norma 1.

would be about the same size as McDonalds and would be a 50
foot pole with ~ 12' bv 12' sign on it. Commissioner Warner

the Burger King logo on it and would also include on the
sign a 4' x 8' reader board. He further stated this sign

free standing pylon sign for the shoppins center. Chairman
Tralle noted that the City Council and Planning Commission
also only allowed one sign for Food N Fuel.
Discussion was held regardin, landscaping. The Building and
Zoning Administrator noted that at previous times the City
Council and Planning Commission had left landscaping up ~o
the discretion of the City Staff.
The second sign was discussed. Mr. Dolphin noted that
instead of an 8' bv 8' pvl~n sign, a smaller sign of 6' x 6'
with a 20' pole could be installed. Commissioner
Warner noted that he had no problem with the smaller sign.

would allow a 40,000 square foot Pamida Sto~e and a 10,000
squa~e foot Coast to Coast Store to be located to the South
of the existing Ben Franklin Sto~e. He fu~the~ stated that
the la~ge ~etail store would not have a negtive impact with
the Downtown a~ea. He stated that the ma.io~ change is the L
shape effect on the Cente~, which would change the mall f~om
an enclosed a~e~ to an unenclosed area.
Chairman T~alle noted that there had been no effort shown in
the housing p~oJect on Barthel's part. M~. Ken Ba~thel
stated that the o~iginal concept was fo~ 36 units and that
the concept had been changed to 40 units and that it took
time to process this because it was fede~ally funded. M~.
Ba~thel stated he is expecting funding in approximately two
weeks and that the single family housing is ready and does
have funding available.
Chai~man Tralle noted he was opposed to any changes until
the housing is developed because of the stipulations stated
in the develope~s a9~eement. Rick Breezee, the Building and
Zoning Administrator noted that because Pamida is on part of
Pa~cel G, the develope~s ag~eement would not apply.
Councilmembe~ Schuldt noted that most of the building would
be on Parcel N, not G. The Building and Zoning
Administ~ator noted that this was not the point whethe~ the
building was mostly on Pa~cel G or N, but whethe~ o~ not
they should approve the concept.
