City puts Unprecedented Number of Conditions on Porky's

The city council's zoning and planning committee attached an unprecedented number of conditions to Porky's proposal on Monday November 27. With 16 conditions, no other development has been approved by Z&P with so many conditions this year. Even the highly discussed DeLaSalle football field on Nicollet Island had less conditions attached to it's approval: 12.

The question then becomes, if a fast-food drive-thru on a tiny lot needs 16 conditions, how can this really be a good proposal? And, who will monitor enforcement of the conditions? NAP somehow doubts that Alderman Ostrow will be stopping by twice a day to ensure that Porky's is picking up trash as condition 2 states, "The applicant will arrange for trash and litter pickup on and around the Porky’s premises each evening and each morning before noon."

The full city council will act on the Porky's proposal December 1 at 9:30.

The 16 conditions were done because they had to find a way to appear to work with the citizens of Northeast.

Even so, most of those conditions were nothing new. Read the Northeaster.
