Bennett commented it did not appear that the <br /> applicant was well prepared for the meeting. <br /> Mayor White stated the Council would like to see all the details of the proposal in writing, especially <br /> given the fact that the City changed its zoning to accommodate this type of use. White stated given the <br /> amount of money that is needed to update the building and the impact that this business could potentially <br /> have on the neighborhood,the Council would like to see in writing all the specifics of the proposal prior <br /> to approving the application. <br /> Bennett stated the Planning Commission spent a considerable amount of time outlining for the applicant <br /> what he would need to submit and complete prior to appearing before the City Council but that she was <br /> not aware the applicant should submit the type of detail that was requested. <br /> Kempf commented the Planning Commission in the future should require the applicants are prepared as <br /> much as possible prior to proceeding to the City Council. <br /> Curtis stated there are applicants who insist on proceeding forward to the Planning Commission or the <br /> City Council even though they do not have all the required documents submitted. <br /> The Planning Commission had a brief discussion regarding the items that should have been discussed and <br /> requested from the applicant on the bowling center application. <br /> 6.
