Mr. McLean reported the Council actions on the Planning and Zoning September recommendations. Alto the Marcel LeRoux mining pit on 64th Avenue has been resolved and the condition of the street is being resolved as well with Mr. Gotwald. Mr. LeRoux's escrow was raised and the elevations were defined as well as the pit area. Mar Don Homes plat still has not been filed because of discrepancies between the approved final plat and the hard shells. The City Attorney and City Engineer are working with Mar Don Homes on this matter. A moratorium has been placed on the moving in of any buildings until the ordinance can be rewritten.

Mr. McLean, Council Liason was also present. Mr. Bohjanen moved to approve the September 20, 1978 minutes as written. Mrs. Schwankl seconded the motion. Motion decttred passed. Variance - Jim Frischmon Mr. Frischmon has requested a variance to split his 2Z acre lot on Holly Drive and Center- ville Road into two Tots. Lot CI would be one acre and lot C2 would be IZ acres. After reviewing the plot map it was determined that Holly Drive and possibly Centerville Road both are located on this lot. The Clerk was requested to contact City Engineer Gotwald and have him determine the measurements of Lot IC so that it will have one acre exclusive of road right of way. Mr. Bohjanen moved to recommend that City Engineer Gotwald determine the lot lines and det- ermine the measurement along Holly Drive that would give each new lot at least one acre ex- clusive of road right of way. Mr. Shearen seconded the motion. Motion declared passed. Variance - Wendell Ostlie Mr. & Mrs. Ostlie presented a variance request to erect a storage building closer to the street than the house. Mr. Ostlie explained the house is set to far to the rear of the lot to allow a building behind the house. It was noted that the front 300' at the Ostlie residence is zoned commercial. However, the City Attorney had recommended a variance be issued. Mrs. Schwankl moved to recommend to Council a variance be approved for the construction of a storage building closer to the street than the primiary building with all other set backs to be observed. Mr. Shearen seconded the motion. Motion declared passed.

(1) The discrepancy in elevations between the plat and Mar Don Homes plat, (2) Traffic flow on the dead end street to the north (3) drainage patterns. Mr. Menkveld said the elevation problem was with Mar Don Homes and they have straightened this out. The second item was the traffic flow on the street to the north. A temporary cul - de - sac was provided for this street. The third item, drainage is taken care of by the revised drawing showing the ponding area and drainage flow.

Jim Manning - 260 Linda Avenue Mr. Manning wishes to rebuild a garage he dismantled at another location. He brought a drawing for the Board members to review showing set backs from street right of way. The Ordinances were checked regarding size of building and nothing was found to indicate he could not build the size he requested. ivir. Gourley said he did not see any reason for a variance at this point and he asked the Clerk to notify Mr. Mobley of this and if Mr. Mobley sees a problem he should let the members know. Mr. Mobley is to check the footings regarding the set backs before Council meeting October 23, 1978. Mr. Bohjanen moved to have it be noted that in so far as the Building Inspectors comments in his letter of October 13, 1978 to Mr. Manning regarding set backs, size etc., there seems to be no problem and the owner indicates the building will not be used commercially. Mr. Shearen seconded the motion. Motion declared passed. Mr. Forrest Tagg Mr. Joel Tagg was in the audience to represent his father Forrest Tagg. Mr. Gourley told Mr. Tagg that he has received no documents on the meeting Forrest Tagg had with Mr. Mobley and Attorney Locher. It was his understanding from the Attorney that sandblasting does not conform to Mr. Taggs zoning and a Special Use Permit would be required. Mr. Joel Tagg said he did not know of any agreements reached at this meeting. He was just here to answer question he could. Mr. Gourley said Mr. Tagg should apply for a Special Use Permit for the Planning and Zoning Board to consider. He also told Joel Tagg to tell his father to call Mr. Gourley and he would explain the Special Use permit to him Page -3- October 18, 1978 Mr. Gourley asked the Clerk to write to Mr. Robinson and ask for a certificate of Survey. Mr. Gourley offered his apology to the Board regarding the El Rehbein & Son variance request. He was not aware of all the other elements involved in this request. Mr. Gourely asked if Chief Myhre has checked on the construction trailer on Lake Drive. The Clerk said she had given him the message and he felt he could not enforce this ordinance. Mr. Gourley said Chief Myhre should let the Planning and Zoning Board know if he feels he cannot so that it can be changed. New Business Mr. Gourley noted that Moline Concrete has extended its area to the north and placed one or two culverts on 4th Avenue for driveways to the expanded area. The Clerk was instructed to pull the file on Moline Concrete and find the original approved plan. Mr. Volk and Mr. Mobley are to check the area to see how far it has expanded and to see if the street is being misused. This matter will be considered at the November meeting. Mr. Shearen asked if anything else has happendd regarding hunting restrictions. The Clerk said she felt it would come up again at Council. Mr. Bohjanen moved to adjourn at 9:40 P.M.
