Absent: Mr. Thomas B. Baden
Mr. William Bradford, Assistant Building and Zoning Director,

Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion
made by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.
(1) A plan was presented for the construction of a tower at the
Lutheran Church on N. E. • 2nd Ave. at 103rd St., with a wall encroaching
in the front setback by 9 inches. Mr. Arnold moved that the Board recommend
approval of the variance of 9 inches in setback with the request that they
advise the Board of the height of the tower before they complete the plan.
Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.
(2) Final approval was requested for the Kwik-Chek parking
layout and sign. Mr. Ed Wolz, architect, stated that this revised plan
indicates more parking spaces as well as a slight change in the store
buildings on either side of the Kwik-Chek building. The free standing sign
to be erected near the Boulevard indicated a height of over 40 feet. After
some discussion, Mr. Arnold moved that the layout be approved, with a
maximum height of the sign to be 25 feet and that the top of the sign be
setback the same distance from the Boulevard as the sign for the Pancake
House. Motion was seconded by Mr. Harris and passed unanimously.
(3) A design of a wall to be constructed around the Village owned
parking lots on 97th and 98th Streets, was presented to the Planning Board
for approval. Some of the Board members felt that this wall should set
an example for other property owners and should be of a more attractive
design. Mr. Arnold moved that Mr. Markel re -study the wall using an
ornamental design with a foundation plus two blocks then ornamental decor
plus the cap. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.
Mr. Arnold added that he felt the City Council should proceed carefully
with this wall as it will be a guide in requiring the owners of private parking
lots to provide similar walls.

(4) Concerning the request from the Chamber of Commerce
for signs indicating location of parking lots, the Board tabled this subject
until the Chamber presents sketches of the signs and where they should
be located.
(5) An amendment to the zoning ordinance concerning storage
of boats in residential districts was discussed. The Board generally
agreed the first step should be to put something in the Village buttetin
concerning this subject and ask the cooperation of the boat owners in
keeping their boats out of the front yards.
The meeting adjourned at 8:30 P.M.
