A Hearing on the Zone change request No. 85-21 from R-1 to B-lb
on the Tic Toc Motel at 1600 Marion Road S. E. Wishing to be heard
was Tom Healey , Attorney in Rochester on behalf of the owner,
Frans De Baker. He stated that this establishment operated as a mot(
since it was brought into the City and Mr. De Baker removed a door
and made part of this motel into a restaurant. He did secure a
licensed plumber but Mr. De Baker was not aware that he needed any
other permits. That is the reason he did not apply for a building
permit. Mr. Healey also stated that Mr. De Baker was not aware
that he needed another type of'zone to operate a restaurant. Mr.
Healey urged the Council to approve this zone change so that they
could remain in business. After Council discussion, Alderman
Strain questioned Thomas Moore, Planning Director as to reaffirm
the fact that the restaurant is non -conforming. Mr. Moore stated
that it was and even the motel is at this time. Alderman Solinger
asked Mr. Moore what the area was zoned as then this was not in the
City. Mr. Moore stated that this was brought in a long time ago, but
it was some sort of commercial zoning in the County. That is why
the motel was allowed. Wishing to be heard was Greg Magaren of
852 1st St. N. W. and stated that he goesx::�o this restaurant and
urges the Council.to approve the change s-a that this can remain a
restaurant. Council questioned the alternative of a conditional
use permit for -this restaurant. It was noted that the owner was
interested in purchasing a wine license and under a conditional
use permit he would not be allowed to serve beverages of that kind.
Alderman Duffy stated that the owner made an honest error and
is in favor of the request. Also since this was a motel, and the
area was brought into the city, the owner could not help that fact
and that the motel should be allowed at tns time. After Council
discussion, the concept of a potential PUD was suggested, however,
the Planning Department stated that this was to small a project
for a PUD and Mr. Healey also stated that this would not be
feasible for a PUD. After further Council discussion, President
Postier stated that he would not vote for any other thing except a
conditional use permit method. He stated this this was spot zoning
and he is not in favor of that. Alderman Strain stated that he
had no objection to this being left as a motel, but suggested that
this matter be taken back and a conditional use permit be obtained
for the restaurant use. Having no further discussion, or anyone
else wishing to be heard, President Postier closed the hearing.
Powers moved, Duffy second to approve the zone change. Upon roll
call vote, Aldermen Duffy, Powers and Solinger voted aye. Ayes (3).
Aldermen Allen, Bluhm, Strain and President Postier voted nay .
