Chairman Wenman called the meeting to order.
Daryl Anderson, owner and developer of the proposed Country Inn & Suites, was sworn in. This project
would be located on Highways 34 &47, behind the former Hardee's restaurant. He has developed 8
motels within the last 8 years (Super 8, Comfort Inns and Ramada Limited). The Country Inns franchise is
owned by the Carlson family of Minneapolis. He passed out pictures of the lobby, rooms and exterior of
the motel they wish to construct. This building would have whirlpool suites, double queen and king beds,
fireplace, indoor pool and whirlpool.
Mr. Anderson said when the building drawings were laid out on the lot, the building infringes on the
setback requirement of 20 ft. on the north and south side yard setback. The building comes into the

north and south side. The parking would be within the variance. The access drive is a frontage, private
