- Page Two - December 1, 1976 Mr. Locher discussed the changes he had made in Ordinance #66. He had reworded the Ordinance to avoid the necessity of publishing the soils map. However, Mr. Locher felt that a hearing must be held before this ordinance is adopted. Under 66.4, Subd. C, Mr. Reinert questioned the requirement of a professional engineer to perform the perk tests. He thought the possibility of a soils expert or someone expert in the knowledge of soils would be more capable of performing this test.. Mr. Starr suggested a list of local people who could be recommended to the home builder. There was discussion on the need to develop a form for these permits. This is required under 66.6 and 6.5 of Ordinance #66, the proposed ordinance. The new regulations being developed by the PCA was discussed. Since these are just in the draft stage, it was decided to support Ordinance #53 now on the books until the new regulations are adopted. The set back in the business area as set forth in Ordinance #56 was discussed. These figures need to be clarified. Also, the cul-de-sac requirements. The Board had discussed this at a previous meeting and asked that the 75' require- meht be at the building setback, in a residential. In the rural service area the frontage must be 150' at the building setback line and the building must be 30' from the right-of-way line.

Mr. Nadeau moved to have the Attorney chebk and confirm this with the State, and make recommendations as to the acreage needed for farm definition. Seconded by Mr. Hill. Motion carried unanimously. The soils map was discussed. Someone asked where this would be kept and Mr. Short said in the City offices. All building permit applications will have to be checked against this map. The Clerk was asked if she could read this map and said, with a little practice, Yes. Mr. Short will mount these six small map to form the City. Mr. Short reminded this Board that an extension of time to complete this work will be needed. Mr. Starr was questioned as to when this letter should be written. Mr. Starr felt the extension should be requested before December 31, 1976. He felt that very good progress had been made and felt there would be no problem in obtaining an extension. He said what has been done will fullfill the requirement for an interium CSP and will allow hook ups to the interceptor. He suggested three to four months for completing this work. Mr. Starr said the letter should be written to Mr. Boland stating what has
