Absent: None
Mr. Frank LuBien, Building Director and Code Enforcement Officer,
was also present.
Concerning the minutes of the meeting of June 11, 1981, Mr. O'Connor
moved the following deletions: "The Board discussed a new interpretation of
parking requirements as one parking space for each 180 sq. ft. of building
area", and in the following sentence the phrase, "although previously approved
by variance.." This was seconded by Mr. Cutchens and the minutes as
corrected were approved.
(1) Request for approval of plans for alterations and
addition to 1131 N. E. 97th St., Larry Moneyhun, owner.
Mr. LuBien reported that this applicant is enclosing an
existing garage and adding a new garage on the rear of the home; no variances
or exceptions are involved. The plan was approved as presented by motion
made by Mr. Palmer, seconded by Mrs. Johnson and carried unanimously.
(2) Request for approval of plans for trellis over front
entrance to 1099 N. E. 104th. St., owner - M. Cudlipp.
Several months ago the Board had proposed new regulations
for trellises that are designed as an architectural feature for other than
the rear yard which have not been acted on by Council. Mr. Cudlipp was
advised that his plan did not meet these requirements which he understood
but said the plan could be revised. Since Mr. Cudlipp did not wishto
withdraw his application for later resubmission Mr. OF -Connor moved that the
Board deny the applicant's request. The motion was seconded by Mr. Cutchens
and carried unanimously.
(3)
Continuation - Parking for Village Lodge addition,
9855 N. E. 2nd Ave.
Chairman Stobs stated that the Village Attorney has been
unable to provide an opinion for this meeting on question of using the.
public alley as part of required parking.

PUBLIC HEARING:
PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR BUSINESS PROPERTIES
Chairman Stobs reviewed a proposed new parking ordinance and
highlighted changes that would, in some cases, benefit the business owners.
He then invited comments from the floor.
Mr. Ronald Fieldstone, owner of 9999 N. E. 2nd Ave., an� attorney
representing other property owners, discussed change of use and was opposed to
the Village's interpretation of change of use as meaning change of tenant.
Mr. Fieldstone felt that all uses within a particular zone should be con-
sidered together and requested an emergency ordinance to define change of
use.
Dr. Joseph, owner of 9345 N. E. 6th Ave., also discussed change of
use as to medical clinics vs. medical offices. He proposed that the pro-
fessions be less definitive and use be defined as to the nature of the building,
combine office uses as separate from retail use, with one parking space to
400 sq. ft. of building.
Mr. Dave Felton, owner of insurance building on 6th Ave. at 92nd
St., stated that his building has no off-street parking.
Dr. Schofman, owner ofbusiness property on N. E. 2nd Ave., asked
what the Board and Council are going to do to provide parking, such as a
parking gara§e.
Mr. Bienstock, owner of property along the Railroad, reported on his
hardship in not being able to rent office space in his building because of
parking.
Mr. George Gilbert, attorney for the owner of the building where
Paulsen's is, stated there should be a distinction on requirement for new
building and old buildings.
Mr. Burt Boulton, Division Manager of Amerifirst Federal, reported
that he has leased 10 spaces at the Chevron Station to meet their requirements.
Mr. George Frix, owner of 9713 N. E. 2nd Ave., wanted to know how
business owners can comply.
At the close of the discussion Chairman Stobs stated that the Board
would finalize their proposed parking ordinance at the next meeting and
subsequently forward it to Council.
The meeting adjourned at 9:50 p.m.
