quest to an R-2 zone for the Hesley House property and the balance of the prop-
erty to an R-3 zone. The City Administrator indicated that an application would
have to be reapplied for to change the zone request. Mr. Piwowar indicated that
the Planning Commission had indicated than an R-2 zone might be more consistent
with the area and that they might consider a future zone request of an R-2 zone.

compromise between the Planning Commission and the people in the area. Commis-
sioner Tralle indicated that the Planning Commission was sensitive to the citizen's
objection to the R-3 zone.
Councilmember Schuldt indicated that he is very familiar with the neighborhood,
and understood the neighborhood's objection to an R-3 zone. Councilmember Schuldt
further indicated that he felt an R-2 Zone would be more compatible with the
single family residences in the area. Councilmember Schuldt indicated that
at the time of Mr. Piwowar's application, he was advised to request an R~2 zone
change rather than an R-3 zone change, and that he would have to go through the
process to request the R-2 zone change.
Mr. Tim Johnson indicated that he had some problems with the zone change process,
as he felt the people in the area do not have any idea as to what is being planned
for a particular property in a zone change request.
The City Administrator indicated that the specific plans for the property are dealt
with through the Building and Zoning Department and that the City Council must look
at the land use regarding the zone change, and not what is proposed for the prop-
erty.
Mayor Hinkle indicated that a zone change is with the property and nbt the owner
and the owner's plans for the property.
Mr. Jim ~homas expressed his opposition of the R-3 and R-2 zone request for the
area. Mr. Thomas indicated that the people in the area wanted the area to remain
R-lc/Single Family zone.
Mr. Ray Zachman expressed his opposition to the R-2 zone, and further expressed his
concern of the decrease of value of his property should the property become zoned
R-3 or R-2.
Discussion was carried on regarding the number of buildings that could be placed
on the property. Discussion was also carried on regarding the number of acres and
the number of units that could be placed on an acre of property in an R-2 zone.
Ms. Mary Beck indicated that she had looked at other communities with double housing
areas and found that she could live with double housing, duplexes or double bungalows
in the area. Further discussion was carried on regarding double bungalows versus 12-
unit apartment buildings, and the care, and upkeep of double bungalows versus pri-
vate, single family homes.

Mr. Tom Johnson expressed his opposition to the .rezoning of the property at 1547
Main Street.
Ms. Evelyn McGibbon indicated that she felt it was a single family dwelling area, and
was in opposition to the R-2 zoning. Ms. McGibbon indicated that she felt the re-
zoning of the area would set a precedent for other lots in the area.
Mr. Thomas indicated that he could not see the compatibility of the area with R-2
zoning.
Discussion was carried on regarding the zoning of the area a number of years ago
as compared to the current rezone request from single family to R-2 zon~ The City

property and designed for the best use of the property. Discussion was carried on
regarding the positioning of the buildings on the property and the position of a
driveway to the property. The City Administrator indicated that this would be con-
sidered by the Building and Zoning Department.
Councilmember Gunkel indicated that she felt the specific location was a good tran~'
sition location and would fit well with the rest of the area.

dwelling or R-2 zoning would be compatible with the single family zoning and further
indicated that he would not be in favor of an R-3 zone.

community and the neighborhood.

strative subdivision for the property located on Tyler Street in the City of Elk

indicated that Mr. Warren's request meets the necessary requirements for l~t size
including lot width as well as necessary setbacks from property line and other
adjacent buildings. The City Administrator further indicated that there was a
draingage problem with the property across the street on Tyler and that this would
be the proper time to consider a drainage easement. The City Administrator indi-
cated that a culvert will have to be placed to drain the property to the north and
an easement will have to be obtained. The City Administrator indicated that Mr.
Warren's grandmother has indicated that she will grant the easement on her property.
Discussion was carried on regarding the consideration of the drainage easement at
the time of the administrative subdivision. The City Administrator indicated that
in the formal platting process, drainage easements are considered and that the
administrative subdivision is a simpler method than the formal platting process
but must be looked at as a platting process.
Mr. Ray Warren, owner of the property to the north of the administrative subidivision,
indicated that he did not have a problem with the drainage easement, and just wanted
to make sure that the water did not remain on his property.

cated that the Planning Commission did make a recommendation that the City Staff
investig~te changing the entire area in the vicinity of the Cowles~ property from
I-I to C-3. The City Administrator indicated that the proposed C-3 zone for the
Cowles property and additional properties in the area is inconsistant with the City's
land use map because of several deliberate thoughts of the City Council and the
Planning Commission regarding the concern of a strip approach to the City of Elk River.
Mayor Hinkle opened the public hearing.
Discussion was carried on regarding a nonalcoholic bar and entertainment center,
the type of business it is and what is proposed for that specific business to be
located in the George Cowles property.
Mr. Cowles questioned why the property could not be zoned commercial as there were
many commercial businesses in the area. The City Administrator indicated that Mr.
Cowles buildings are not designed for commercial and should it be rezoned commercial,
the present industries would not be conforming. The City Administrator indicated that
the rezoning of this specific property would create a spot zone.
Discussion was carried on regarding the rezoning of the total area and the recommenda-
tion from the City Planner regarding that study. Mr. Roger Bluhm, representing the
nonalcoholic bar and entertainment center business, described his business and further
indicated that he had letters from other cities recommending that type of business
on a highway location. Mayor Hinkle indicated that it was a land use question~ and
rezone question-, rather than a business location question.
Councilmember Gunkel indicated that she felt the type of business proposed for the
area was a good idea, but a spot zone could not be done specifically for that bus-
iness. Councilmember Schuldt indicated that he felt it was a spot zone and that a
commercial spot zone could not be,placed in the middle of light industrial.

The City Administrator indicated that the Minnesota-Ohio Oil Company has requested
a variance from the City's sign Ordinance for the property located at 17345 Highway
10, operated as the Fina Gas Station. The City Administrator indicated that the
Minnesota-Ohio Oil Company is requesting a variance from the specified height in
the City's Sign Ordinance. The City Administrator indicated that the Minnesota-
Ohio Oil Company's request in their first alternate is to allow a sign that would
be 42 feet in height and would project above the Ordinance requirement by approx-
imately 26 feet and that the second requested alternate would allow a sign 22 feet
in height and project over the required limit by 6 feet. The City Administrator
indicated that the Planning Commission found the variance standards in the City's
Zoning Ordinance could not be met in this situation, and unanimously voted to deny
the variance.
Mr. Paul Bell of Sneaky Pete's indicated that should Minnesota-Ohio be allowed a
larger sign, he would also request a larger sign. Mr. Joe Berglove, owner of the
Minnesota-Ohio Oil Company gas station, indicated that they have been in their par-
ticular location 11 years, under the name of American Petrofina or Fina. Mr. Berg-
love indicated that American Petrofina has moved out of the country and now Minneso-
ta-Ohio has developed their own brand name and they want to change the Fina sign to
represent the present company's name.
Mr. Chuck Hess, representative of Rochester Ace Triad Sign Company, indicated that
they would be using the same sign, just changing the sign face. Mr. Hess indicated
that it would cause a hardship to reduce the siz,e and height of the sign because
of competition.
Mr. Berglove indicated that they could go to a horizontal sign but if it was within
the sign ordinance, it would cause problems for trucks as their building is only 10
feet high and therefore, the sign would only be 16 feet high.
The City Administrator indicated that the requirement of 6 feet above the height of
the building is to provide some regularity with the City signs and further indicated
that the Best Western and Sneaky Pete's are in conformance with the City sign ord-
inance.
Mr. Joe Berglove indicated that they could put a false front on the top of their
building in order to make the building higher to allow for the height required for
their sign.

Discussion was carried on regarding the interpretation of the Ordinance with re~
gard to the changing of the face of a sign. The City Administrator indicated
that the courts do not view economic reasons as a basis for hardship, and the
granting of a variance would establish a precedence.
The City Administrator indicated that if the sign ordinance is a bad ordinance, the
City Council should consider changing the ordinance.
Mr. Rob VanValkenberg indicated that all businesses along Highway 10 are competing
for the highway business and their number one priority is to compete with the Fina
sign for that highway business.
Councilmember Schuldt indicated that he felt the horizontal sign would be more
attractive. General discussion was carried on regarding the City Sign Ordinance.
COUNCILMEMBER GUNKEL MOVED TO APPROVE THE VARIANCE REQUEST BY MINNESOTA~OHIO OIL
COMPANY FROM THE CITY SIGN ORDINANCE FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 17345 HIGHWAY 10.
COUNCILMEMBER ENGSTROM SECONDED THE MOTION.

request and the setting of a precedence for variances to the City Sign Ordinance.

ment to the Sign Ordinance rather than the granting of a variance for the Minnesota
Ohio Oil Company. Councilmember Schuld indicated that he felt the City was bound
to the Sign Ordinance. Mayor Hinkle expressed his agreement with Councilmember
