Minutes of St. Joseph Planning Commission
February 4, 1980
Members present: Ben Kremer, Tom Nahan, Hub Klein, Phil Durkee,
S. Coleman O'Connell (College laison),
S. Kathleen Kalinowski (Convent laison)
Visitors present: Hugo Weyrens, Jerry Cyphers, Steve Dehler, Albert
Schindler, John Forsythe, Mike Bauer.
Meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m.
Albert Schindler inquired about areas zoned for busine~s or designated
for commercial in the Comprehensive Plan in which he could relocate his
cabinet and carpentry business.
John Forsythe and Mike Bauer indicated their desire to build a restaurant
downtown and inquired about the possibility of construction on the vacant
property immediately west of Klein's shoe store. The restaurant would
serve soups, sandwiches, vegitarian menu, and other lunch items by a self-
serve format. Parking, however, would be insufficient under the present
ordinance which specifies one parking space per 100 square feet of
business floor area. According to present plans, approximately 25
parking spaces would be needed. John and Mike will inquire into other
property.
Hugo Weyrens presented plans for a new house and asked for resolution of
a side-yard space limitation.
Hugo also informed the Commission that a developer is interested in
developing land north of CSAH 75. This raises the need to up-date and
draft new subdivision and zoning regulations consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan. The water and sanitary sewer issue will also need
resolution soon.
New Planning Commission officers were elected: chairperson - - Ben Kremer;
vice-chairperson -- Tom Nahan; secretary -- Phil Durkee.
The meeting was adjourned.
Next meeting will be a special meeting on Monday, February 11.
Respectfully submitted,
