,Page -2- March 21, 1979 followed the most suitable contour of the land. He explained that lot 6 is almost all peat and would not be buildable. Mr. Gourley explained the City would hold to the 150 foot front footage requirements on all lots and all the dead end streets would have to be cul- de - saced. Mr. Newpower asked if an environmental impact statement would be required? He was told no, if there were not more than 50 homes in the plat. Mr. Gourley explained the park requirement and asked Mr. Newpower to get his preliminary plat and topog to the Clerk for the City Engineer and City Planners recommendation. Plat - Pine Oaks Mrs. Schwankl excused herself from the Board during consideration of this plat. She felt that since the plat is within a short distance from her property she should excuse herself. The plat was reviewed noting that the street names probably should be changed because they could cause some confusion. Mr. Shearen moved to recommend approval of this plat subject to the City Planners recommendations. Mr. Mattson seconded the motion. Motion declared passed with Mrs. Schwankl abstaining. Plat - Arborlake The Clerk read the City Planners and Engineers letters of recommendations. Mayor Karth noted the wording on the easement on the final plat will have to be changed. The Park Board had recommended that outlot A be accepted as park dedication. Mr. Mattson moved to recommend approval of this plat taking into consideration the City Planners and Engineers recommendations. Mr. Johnson seconded the motion. Motion declared passed. Aragon Ballroom - Steve Krube Mr. Krube explained he is a minister of the gospel and his church is the House of Praise. They are now meeting at Lovell School and are considering purchasing the Ballroom on Contract for Deed. Mr. Krube explained if the zoning has to be changed to RI the present owner will not sell it to them. The concern is if the contract were defaulted the property would not be as valuable if it were RI. Mayor Karth asked if there will be any reconstruction to the building itself. Mr. Krube said his father had talked to Mr. Mobley who had said that nothing had to be done immediately but there will have to be some improvements. Mr. Krube said they would honor all the Building Inspectors requests. Mr. Mattson said probably the Council will have to take action to remove the property from the tax rolls. Mr. Karth said this would be done when the church reaches exempt status. Mr. Gourley noted that this Board feels no action is needed at this time
