It was suggested an inquiry form be drawn up to be mailed to all special use holders now in the files. If the property has changed hands, the permit is automatically cancelled. The Clerk will prepare this form for Board consideration A letter from Mr. Phil Lewis of WCCO had been received explaining the delays in the approval for the tower they plan to construct in Lino Lakes. He asked an extension of the special use permit until the aniversary date in 1978. After some discussion, Mr. Nadeau roved to recommend to the Council approval of this request. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried. Mr. Gourley and Mr. Hill had gone over the Comprehensive Land Use elan and marked some ares they felt should be changed and updated. The Clerk was instructed to type these notes Indicating the pages and suggestions, and mail to all members for study. Zr. Jim Lowell, who lives on Birch Street, told the Board he would like to see the Ordinance governing the keeping of bees changed. He felt the amount of acreage was not important since bees range far from the hive. He felt that rather than acreage, the Iimit should be on the number of hives that could be kept. Mr. Gourley said the Ordinance is not designed to protect the bees but to protect the people from the bees. After some discussion, it was suggested to Mr. Lowell he write his suggestions as to the changes he would like considered and present this to the Board for consideration. Mr. Lowell agreed to do this and said he felt he was responsible for the bees regardless how many acres of land he has or the number of hives. He asked to be put on the agenda for the May meeting. Mr. Shearen moved to adjourn at 11:25 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Aye.
