- Page 3 - January 21, 1976 Mr. Glen Simons was present. He has a home in LaMotte's Second Addition adjacent to Centerville Lake. When he bought the property, Mr. LaMotte had told him there was a 60' wide parcel of land that was public property and would give him access to the lake. He asked the Board if this was true. There is an outlot in that Addition that has been deeded to the City and is probably the parcel in question. Mr. McLean could not remember any discussion of upgrading that land for public use. Mr. Simon said it does present a danger in the form of a ditch that fills with water. He suggested a culvert of some sort. The land is overgrown with weeds in the summer. Maybe some grading and mowing or something coud be done so the land could at least be walked across. Mr. Kelling suggested that a neighborhood Park Association be formed. He said most of the Parks in the City have had help from groups such as this. The people put their thoughts together and take them to the Park Board. When the City of short of funds the people must help themselves, even if only in the form of getting some lawn mowers together and cutting the weeds. Mr. Simon agreed and said he would see what he could do. We will contact the Park Board. Under Old Baelness, Mr. Karth felt that Forjay had not complied with the requirements that had neen in the original approval of that installation. There is landscaping, fencing, shrubbery, and an additional driveway. This should be brought up to date, He thought- this board should recommend to the Council that Forjay comply with plans presented at the time of planning. The Clerk was instructed to get the file folder on this operation and have available for the Council. Mr. Hill felt that Skyline Autobody and Restoration Enterprises have not fully complied with the stipulations as set forth by this Board. Under new business, Mr. McLean presented some goals for this Board for the year 1976. He thought the Sign Ordinance should be reviewed and revised in order to make it more workable. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan must be reviewed and up -dated. The Zoning Ordinance needs some work especially on the cul-de-sac requirements. There was also some discussion of the Ramsey County proposal in regards to the Huber property on Bald Eagle Lake. Mr. McLean asked the Clerk to provide all members with copies of the Sign Ordinance, Zoning Ordinance, Utility Ordinances and a copy of the agreement with Anoka County on Open Space.
