Mr. Robert Rierson was present to ask the planning Commission members to
reconsider their tabled variance request from the september 6, 1988
Monticello Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Rierson indicating to
planning Commission members the urgency to commence with the construction
of his new parking lot subject to the planning Commission variance
approvals. Mr. Rierson indicated that at the september 6, 1988 Planning
Commission meeting, an employee of his, Mr. Paul Lutzke, was present to
represent Bridge Water Telephone company with Mr. Rierson having previous
commitments. Mr. Rierson indicated that some possible misinformation may
have been given out at that time as he only had Mr. Lutzke to attend to
represent Bridge Water Telephone, not informing them, nor does Mr. Lutzke
have authority to make judgements of approval without Mr. Rierson's
consent.
Mr. Rierson indicated that the property has been purchased, that the
actual purchase of the property with the closing will come on or before
the 18th of October. Immediately or there after on the closing on the
18th, Mr. Rierson has a contract with veit Construction to demolish the
house and the garage to get the site ready for the new parking lot. Mr.
Rierson said that they would like to leave at least 60 feet of separation
from the existing building on the southerly 60 feet of this lot to allow
for possible expansion for sometime onto the future of the Bridge Water
Telephone company building. This 60 foot portion of land would be left in
the green area which now exists. Mr. Rierson also indicated that the
driveway entrance which currently exists on Highway 25 would be closed up
and it would be a single entrance/exit only constructed on East Third
Street.
Much discussion centered on the limitations of the green are which
separates this property from the next adjoining property to the east. The
intent of the discussion here was to create as much green area as possible
in this location of the side lot line.

applicant, Mr. Rierson, or from City Staff, a motion by Richard Martie,
seconded by Dan McConnon to approve the variance request to allow a
parking lot to be constucted with more than 25 percent of the parking
