.Page 5 • Planning and Zoning, June 20, 1979 a land use permit from the building inspector had been required and Mr. Klenck was now in violation of city code because he did not have the land use permit for the barn. The Building Department could be asked to clear up the situation whereby the barn was built without a land use permit, and then could be dealt with at a later date. This was a matter between the Building Department and the Council. There was some discussion as to whether the Planning and Zoning Commission was within its rights to review their previous recommendation to the Council in regard to the vehicles in view of the damage to Rolling Hills Drive; it was felt that since the special use permit had never been issued, and since an annual review is automatic in any case, that it was within the capability of the Commission to do so. Mr. Johnson moved that the Planning and Zoning Commission rescind its initial recommendation for approval of the special use permit and recommend denial upon receipt of information from the City Maintenance Department in regard to the damage to the road sustained by his trucks. Mr. Doocey seconded the motion. All were in favor. •lotion declared passed. Mr. Gourley brought up a situation in Lakes Addition No. 4, on Sandpiper Drive. The Building Department had issued a building permit to build a house on lot 1 and there was a house already in existance there. There was also a problem with who is going to build a road in there; whether the landowners want a road there and the situation with the assessment back to the benefiting property owners. The Clerk is requested to contact the city attorney and have him research the existance or nonexistance of Sandpiper Drive and to let the Commission know exactly how many lots are there because lots 2, 3, 4, and 5 seem to be there; lot 2 is only partially pencilled in, and lot 1 doesn't appear at all. The next item was a petition bearing the signatures of 11 different residents for street lights in the Shenendoah area, the Birch -Totem Trail-Hokah culdesac. In regard to street lights, there was also some communication dating back to November of 1978 concerning a request for street lighting at the intersection of County 14 and County 84. The Clerk had written a letter to the Anoka County Board of Com- missioners in regard to this, and they had replied that the installation and main- tenance of street lights along a county road was the responsibility of the local government. There was some futher communication in regard to this, which Mr. Gourley read. Mr. Johnson moved that the request be forwarded to the Council with the recommendation that action be delayed until the completion of the street light ordinance, as part of the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Gourley seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion declared passed. Mr. Gourley brought up the matter of the outline for the work load on the Comprehen- sive Plan, and the time frame. Since there were only 4 members present at this meeting, it was decided to carry it over until the next meeting. A special meeting was scheduled for June 27 at 8 p.m. Mr. Gourley suggested to the members of the Planning and Zoning Commission that they route their calls to the city attorney through either himself or the Clerk in view of the billing situation. There was an opinion from the attorney on Ordinance No. 20, one of a continuing number of changes that needed to be made to the ordinances. Vi Schwankl moved that this be moved up to the next regular meeting. Mr. Johnson seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion declared passed. Mr. Gourley brought up a point of information on a matter involving Sunset Estates. Apparently there is a problem with one of the developers building homes without inspections. The houses will have to be opened up for inspection.
