Mr.Rudisell agreed to this additional landscaping. During the public portion, Donna Gerring of 208 South St. Peter Street again voiced opposition to the C-1 Zoning Classification. She stated that there are problems in the area in light of the additional traffic by Parkview Atrium with the neighborhood being boxed-in. She stated that she believes that the building is highly historic and should have extra consideration. Council Member Luecke appreciated the redesign proposed by the developer. He stated that the new design now has the setback being equal to the adjacent structures.He noted that it is unfortunate with regard to the house however, the first option is to keep it and have it relocated to another site. Mr Byorni noted that the entire area is being looked at. In light of the delays due to staff changes and the fact that only medical buildings were exempted from the 0-office with the medical buildings keeping their"B"classification that this entire area should be carefully reviewed. Following further discussion, Council Member Luecke made a motion seconded by Council Member Varner that Bill No. 75-95 be recommended favorably to Council. The motion passed. •
