Board members present; Kelling, Hill, Shearen, Karth. Absent; Houle, Gourley. Mr. McLean was also present. Mr. Kelling moved to approve the April 21, '1976 minutes as presented. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried. Mr. Larry Brokke appeared before the Board requesting a special use permit for the parking of commercial vehicles on property he has purchased located on 20th Ave. S. Mr. Karth asked where the trucks were parked at this time and Mr. Brokke said he had been instructed by the Council to park these vehicles in Centerville and that is where they are. He had cleared a spot on the property in Centerville and is using the driveway on the property in Lino Lakes to park them In Centerville. Mr. Karth asked just what he was asking for in the special use permit. Mr. Brokke said he is asking for access through his present driveway to reach the property to the North and located in Centerville and permission to park a pick up at the home. Mr. Karth asked for how long and Mr. Brokke said he planned to have the land in Centerville ready before freeze-up. Mr. Shearen asked if six months was long enough? Mr. Brokke asked to have the time extended to December 31, 1976. Since he had originally planned to park all vehicles on the Lino Lakes property, he has had to change some plans. Since he is parking the larger vehicles on the Center- ville property, he only needs a special use permit for use of the driveway. Mr. Nadeau asked about the pick up trucks over 7000#, does he have any? Mr. Brokke said, yes, he has a 3/4 ton that has a gross weight of 9000#. Mr. Nadeau asked Mr. Kelling to assume the Chair since he is involved in this discussion on a personal basis. Mr. Nadeau assumed a seat in the audience. Mr. Kelling asked Mr. Brokke to make a definite statement as to what he is asking for. Mr. Brokke said he is asking for a special use permit to use his driveway for nine months to park his trucks on the Centerville property. Mr. Hill asked how much property he owned in Centerville and Mr. Brokke said eight acres. Mr. Shearen said the way he interprets the Ordinance, Mr. Brokke doesn't need a special use permit for access. Mr. Nadeau said he parks the vehicles on the Centerville property with part of the vehicles over the property line and on the Lino Lakes property. Mr. Nadeau said there is at least six cars parked in the driveway each day. He also felt that with eight acres of land the trucks could be parked further in on the Centerville property. Mr. Kelling asked if the Ordinance says that employees cannot park on their employer's property? He felt the Planning and Zoning Board could not limit this type of parking as long as the cars were off the street and not creating a trafic hazard.
