Session 1807 <br />April 2~ 2001 <br /> <br />Donald Murano, 7238 Pershing, stated that the operators of Smoothie King were <br />excellent businessmen and their foresight is definitely what this community needs. He <br />agrees with Council's action this evening. <br /> <br />Patrick Liberto, 7359 Dartmouth, wished to thank Mr. Ollendorff for his efforts in working <br />this out with Mr. GhasedL He wanted to make clear, for the record, that at the last <br />meeting, he was only representing his own business interests, not the entire LSBD, He <br />does, however, have a letter signed by twenty businesses, of which six are LSBD board <br />members, of support for the Smoothie King operation and stating that the conditions of <br />the conditional use permit should be directed at the proper parties. He is glad that the <br />Council approved the project and that a compromise on the last two conditions has <br />been reached. <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendofff asked Mr. Liberto if it was true that this issue was never discussed at a <br />LSBD board meeting and if it was true that several Loop board members were opposed <br />to the letter he mentioned and refused to sign it, Mr. Liberto responded that this never <br />had an opportunity to be discussed at a LSBD board meeting. The last City Council <br />meeting was after the last meeting and they obviously haven't had the April meeting <br />yet. He stated that there were some beard members that would not sign, because of <br />varying reasons. He does not have any desire to mislead anyone. He will file the letter <br />with the signatures with the City Clerk. (Clerk's note: this letter has not been filed as of the <br />transcribing of these minutes) <br /> <br />Mr, OIlendorff asked Mr. Liberto if he was willing to take up the owner's offer for him to <br />allow his customers to park in this lot. Mr. Uberto stated that, as far as his agreed <br />space that he has for himself, he would be more than happy to try and contribute to the <br />lessening of the effects of the neighborhood by one space. Mr. Ollendofff said that this <br />would really go a long way towards showing the good faith that Patdck brings to the <br />table that he is willing to abide by this agreement and he should be commended for <br />that. <br /> <br />David Trauterman, 1617 Dawnbreak, St. Charles, Smoothie King owner, thanked <br />OIlendorff for agreeing to meet with Mr. Ghasedi to come up with a satisfactory <br />agreement. They agree with all the conditions and the two amended conditions. He <br />wanted to make sure that this parking arrangement would not limit them to closing at 9 <br />p.m. Mr. OIlendorff said that this will not limit his operating hours, it just means that Mr. <br />Ghasedi will be able to gate his parking lot at 9 p.m. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner moved approval of the amended conditional use permit. Mr. Sharpe <br />seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br /> <br />
