Jiule 1 , 111;{' Council did act favorably on that request. The second reason which was articulated by the Planning Commistien that they questiornAd whether it would be in total compliance with the Corprehermsive Plan and in his review of the Coanp-Lehensive Plan it appeared to him that the wording o: the Cammprehensive Plan would more or less support this type of proposal in three important respects; (1) the Carprchensive Plan states that one of the primary purposes of the Plan is to retain the small town atmosphere and environment of Stillwater and the Vegsunds suggest that there is no better way to acca7,lish this than to allow the large more historic hones to be utilized as a bed and breakfast facility; (2) the second purpose or policy of the Plan is to encourage the preservation and restoration of buildings, particukly the historic buildings - in suhmni.tting this proposal it is submitted that they are continuing, to preserve and to restore and utilize a hu-ne which has previously been converted; the third policy which he felt pertained as far as the Comprehensive Plan is concerned is to encourage and enhance the downt(un area and they suggested with this close proximity to the downtam area it would he in confonvince with this particular , A icy of the ,,laud and it. would serve this facility made available to people caning in and wanting to spP'.-i an evening in our r ! munity. IL is their position to convert the Anderson Herne into a bed and brCsKfaSL Facility is rea; ly a natural use for this already converted structure - also this proposed use thev suggest should have much less of an impact on the neighborhood than the prior uses have been and they feel that the impact would minimal at best with the conditions that the VeF.sunds are willing to live with and ro amply wit',. 11-icy have made a very reasonable effort to greet with the neighbors to attcrnt to .address their concerns and arv..,er their qustior- - there are still concerns that the neil,rhors have but art effort has been made to answer their questions and to identify the use that the property is proposed to be put to He felt that the limitations and the restrictions that they are willing to have in:lLded :n Iris Special Use Permit are really proof of their good faith of the concerns of the rte;3hburho(A. The bed and breakfast facility would appear to be an excellent add.;.ti.on to the City of Stillwater - a type of facility which we do have a need for and ie hyped chat the Council would agree that the Vegsunds are the type of people that they would iiKe to have manage such a facility. GrORGE SCIMTT, 208 WL-t Chestnut Street, made reference to the amount of money that was spent to fix up the Anderson hone, but he felt that everyone else in that, neighborhood has spent a lo'. of money on their hones and it is a good residential area - there is a real concern that the commercialism that is -eepink, into that area - right directly across the street is the Stillwater Resider e which has 30 people in it full time - you have food trucks coning and going and you have staff people - there are other commercial businesses in the area - he felt that this should be kypt as a residential neighborhood. LEE 1.nVER, 303 West Olive Street, rmade reference to the petition which was signed by practically the neighbors and they do not want to he zoned that way - they kids walking back and forth to the ch.u-ches aixi schools and they do nrt need the additional traffic in that area - 1DGER KASTP3J.1, 315 West Olive Street, asked for clarification of several points - whether or not this permit, if granted or not, would be transferable from Vegsunds to another party for whatever reasons? Would like to kmxmw what their estimated costs per roam per day would be? He was a little bit unclear as to the tiff?rence between a Commercial facility and getting some ccnmercially zoned. MR. UJ- RS stated that as he understood it this C:orxiitiunal Use Permit would run with the land and not to the owners of the property - in the event that the property was sold it was his understanding that the use would not be identical and they could probably came in for another special use permit As far .s the costs for the rcxxns he did not feel that is noLerial ..and he was not surd ti at has been established. MAYOR JlNKER felt that the cost of the rrw'16 is nest something that Mr. I vmers or the Vegs unoiR would have to tell. MR. !'irLWLNM stated that urIcss the C::xurcil st:at.eed udlerwise time p4ei ' Rees with th@ land rather than the person arxi Ile felt that 4 t WN-Alld he in enforcwih:e> curkii.tiun nc;t to be
