Deslauries appeared before the Council and renewed their request to obtain a building permit to erect a home South of County Road B2 fronting on bhe presently ungraded Jackson Street. They pointed out that the owner of the property lying between their property and County Road B2 has told them that they cannot reach County Road B2 by travelling along what appears to be the right of way o£ Jackson Street. After some discussion, these people were advised to contact the person from whom they purchased the property and if necessary engage an attorney to solve their problem. Mr. H. Mostad of 2720 Noel Drive, asked permission to erect a concrete block building 42 feet by 30 £eet to replace a building recently destroyed by fire in which he was doing automobile repair work. He was advised that if a permit would be given it would have to be dealt with as a special use permit since the Council would not rezone the property from its present use to a commercial usee This matter was laid over £or investigation and the owner was advised that he would be informed when the Council would meet with him. The Village Attorney explained to the Council the problems that may be arising in connection with the prosecution of criminals and traffic violators in the new municipal court. Ae pointed out that Mr. Warren D. Bauer has been representing Maplewood as prosecuting attorney and he recommended that Bauer also be employed by Little Canada for this purpose. Iie explained that Bauer presently is receiving a monthly retainer from Maplewood but that he probably should be paid on a fee basis for any appearances required on behalf of Little Canada at least temporarily. Mr. Memmer pointed out that after a year or maybe less than a year we will be able to tell how many court appearances axe necessary and it might then be necessary to work out a retainer basis on some monthly figure for such prosecution work. Upon motion by Loe££ler, seconded by J espersen, it was "RESOLVED, that Warren D. Bauer be and is hereby designated as the prosecuting attorney for the Village of Little Canada on a temporary fee basis." A3tes _ 4 Nays - 0
