Session 1698, Minutes June 9, 1997 simplest and most straightforward way of accomplishing this. The Park Commission also suggested the possibility of having a guest for half price promotion in the afternoon. Either way would help, but he feels it would be easier to enforce if the lower rate is offered late in the afternoons, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Mayor Pro Tem Wagner said that the alternate recommendation was developed by the Park Commission's fees sub-committee. Mr. Munkel moved approval of the City Manager's recommendation of lower rates for a trial period through September. Mr. Lieberman seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. AGENDA ITEM #9 - SITE PLAN - 6901 DELMAR: Mr. Ollendorff announced that he has an applicant that is very interested in renting the property at 6901 Delmar for church purposes. The use is something that can be approved by the City Council, if a number of conditions are met. The applicant has been advised of the conditions that will have to be satisfied and the applicant agrees to do so. The parking issue will require further discussion. The conditions include that trash collection be limited to daytime hours on weekdays, that transitional yards are to be fully landscaped in accordance with a plan approved by the Planning staff and that signage be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. The Council also needs to approve, under the ordinance, the use of this property by a tax-exempt institutional occupancy. It does not appear that this property would be off the tax rolls, since the applicant would be a tenant rather than the owner. Perhaps this could be clarified by Council questions. Mr. Ollendorff said that the applicant understands the need to comply with all of our City property maintenance and construction codes. Finally, the most important restriction would be either to meet the off-street parking requirement in the ordinance, of 102 spaces, which is probably not a possibility, or to consider the alternative, suggested by staff, that the total number of occupants of the building be limited to the numbers supported by the approximately fifty parking spaces currently on the site. The applicant has given the Council a letter indicating that they may be willing to limit the occupancy to seventy five. Consultation with the applicant might clarify this issue. If all these conditions could be complied with, then approval could be given. Mr. Ollendorff states that the large amounts of money that has invested in the Civic Plaza, make it very important that a use is not allowed, and he his speaking in general terms of church use rather than this specific user, that permits any variance from the parking requirements. Mr. Schoomer stated that, since this particular property is a jurisdiction of University Heights # I, that approval from the subdivision trustees should have been sought before it was brought before Council for consideration and discussion. Mr. Schoomer moved that the site plan for 6901 Delmar be tabled until such time that the applicant can secure permission from the University Heights # 1 subdivision trustees. Mr. Munkel seconded the motion. AYES: Mr. Munkel, Mr. Lieberman, Mr. Schoomer, Mayor Pro Tem Wagner. PERSONNEL REPORT: Mayor Pro Tern Wagner stated that he was in receipt of the Personnel Report for the week ending lune 6, 1997 and so ordered filed.
