control and side setback variance request made by Al Weiss. Tom Braun explained
that just recently John Perkins, architect for the applicant, had stated the
applicant was willing to reduce the size of his request for expansion to the 250
square foot level, which is within the ordinance requirements. Since the PEC had no
broblem with the setback variance, Tom Braun requested that Council table this
equest and refer the applicant back to PEC, thus saving the applicant additional
filing fees and another 30-day setback in time. Eric Affeldt moved to table and
refer the applicant back to PEC, with a second coming from John Slevin. A vote was
