City Council Minutes <br />March 17, 1997 <br />Page 10 <br /> <br />Councilmember Farber stated that it is not the flag that draws him to Perkins and <br />he does not feel it is a source of marketing. He indicated he is in favor of the 70 <br />foot flag pole. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmgren stated that the Perkins site already sits 20 feet above <br />the highway and can be clearly seen from the road. He indicated that he could <br />support a 50 foot pole but not 70 feet as it would put the flag 90 feet above the <br />intersection. <br /> <br />Councilmember Thompson indicated that he agrees with Councilmember Farber <br />in that he does not feel the flag is a representation of advertisement for Perkins. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dietz concurred with Mayor Duitsman and indicated his <br />opposition to raising the height of the pole to 70 feet. <br /> <br />The City Attorney indicated that the city is under no legal obligation to allow the <br />increase in the pole height. He stated that the right to fly the flag is not being <br />regulated. <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBER HOLMGREN MOVED TO APPROVE THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT <br />REQUESTED BY PINNACLE FOODS LP TO AMEND THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT <br />AND EXPAND THE PERKINS RESTAURANT FACILITY BY ADDING AN ADDITIONAL 48 <br />SEATS AND EXPANDING THE PARKING LOT WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: <br /> <br />ALL OF THE EXISTING LANDSCAPING DISTURBED AS PART OF THE <br />CONSTRUCTION BE RELOCATED AND REPLACED. <br /> <br />AWNINGS ALONG THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPOSED WALL NOT PROJECT <br />INTO THE DRIVE AISLE. <br /> <br />ANY PARKING LOT EXPANSIONS REQUIRE SUBMrrI'AL OF A SITE PLAN <br />IDENTIFYING THE SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE. <br /> <br />THE NEW PARKING LOT EXPANSION BE DONE ONLY AFTER AN EXEMPTION TO <br />THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE HAS BEEN COMPLETED WHICH WILL RELOCATE <br />THE EXISTING LOT LINE, ALLOWING PERKINS TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL <br />PROPERTY. <br /> <br />THE PARKING LOT IMPROVEMENTS MEET ALL OF THE CITY'S PERFORMANCE <br />STANDARDS SUCH AS CURB AND BITUMINOUS SURFACING. <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBER FARBER SECONDED THE MOTION.
