Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Planning Commission
for the City of st. Joseph met in regular session on Monday,
October 2, 1995 at the st. Joseph City Hall.
Members Present: Chair Hub Klein. Commissioners s. Kathleen
Kalinowski, Linda Sniezek, Marge Lesnick, Dan Nierengarten.
Council Liaison Cory Ehlert. Secretary Judy Weyrens.
Others Present: Ron Philippi, Joel Vogel, Jerry Klaphake.
Ron Phi I ippi - Storaqe Units: Ron Philippi appeared before the
Planning Commission requesting an extension of the special use
permit issued to him on April 23, 1993. Philippi stated that his
plan consisted of constructing two (2), twenty six (26) unit mini
storage facilities. However, due to financial constraints only
two-thirds of the units have been constructed. Since a special use
permit is only valid for one year, Philippi is requesting an
extension of the special use.
Commissioners discussed that since the building has been an on-
going project with construction in each 1993 and 1994, and there
were no objections at the public hearing a new public hearing
should not be necessary.
Kalinowski made a motion to grant the extension of the special use
permit issued on April 23, 1993 allowing the construction of two
(2 ), twenty six (26) unit mini storage facilities. The extension
is granted with the stipulation that the plans must be consistent
with those presented at the hearing. If the plans are not
identical, a new hearing must be conducted. The motion was
seconded by Ehlert.

Street Addressing: As requested by the Commission, Weyrens
discussed the street numbering with a third party, Dale Haug. Mr.
Haug stated that during his tenure as Building Official for the
City of st. Cloud, he was very involved with street addressing.
After reviewing the st. Joseph street addressing options, he stated
that he used a system similar to the one designed by the City
Engineer and encouraged the continued use of such a system.
Jerry Klaphake and Joel Vogel spoke on behalf of Ben Poepping and
reiterated his method of street addressing. After a lengthy
discussion of Mr. Poepping's proposal, Ehlert made a motion
recommending the Council rescind adoption of the current street
addressing method and make the following address changes:
l. Minnesota Street East to continue to the Del-Win, changing
88th street to Minnesota Street.

3. 91st Avenue to become 14th Avenue
4. 90th Avenue to become 15th Avenue
