JUNE 23, 1975 --4-- The Special Use Permit granted to WCCO for the construction of a radio tower on Holly Drive expires on June 28, 1975. Mr. Fred Memmer and Mr. Tom Doer were in the audience. They informed the P&Z that WCCO is still in the process of obtaining permission from the FCC and would request a one year's' extension of the Special Use Permit. WCCO should have an answer by that time. The PSZ had recommended approval of this extension. Mr. Marier so moved. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. An application for a Schmidt Beer Sign to be located at the Blue Heron had been considered and found to conform to the City Ordinance. The P&Z had recommended approval. Mr. Marier so moved. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried. Mayor Bohjanen reported, -on the eeting4hd1d"oh rlday, June, 20, 1975 in connection with the sewer problems In Shenandoah. Mayor Bohjanen asked the Clerk to read the minutes of that meeting. There were several corrections. Plan No. 1 as submittedby Mr. Burandt would serve a maximum of 600 homes. Mr. Marier asked when it is expected there will be 600 homes in that area? The cost figures as submitted by Mr. Burandt were discussed with the feeling that they were within 10a of actual cost. There was general agreemnt that something must be done to aleviate the situation that exists In that area. Mr. Locher said that installations can be petitioned int wo ways; either by a petition with 35% of the residents signing or by a 4/5 vote of the Council. Either way, puBlicatlon of the notice is required. These notices must be published twice- one week apart and 10 days before the hearing is scheduled. Notices must be mailed to all affected property owners. This necessitates the defining of the area to be served. Neither of the two plans define an area to be served. Mrs. Peterson of the Metropolitan Council had requested that one of the plans be accepted in order to set the wheels in motion to solve the problems In the Shenandoah area. There was a suggestion from the audience of installing the mains and laterals in the area and using a holding tank to be purmpted and hauled by the City in much the same manner as Country Lakes is now. Mr. Zelinka felt that this would not meet with Metropolitan Councils Ppproval. This would also be a very temporary thing at the most and is not a solution to the problem. Mr. Zelinka said that the interceptor cis proposed by Mr. Burandt would only be constructed to the City's borders zid it would become the responsibility of the City of Lino takes to construct the Interceptor to the affected areas. An immediate solution is impossible since It would take the Engineer approximately four weeks to compute the cost figures and the spread the assessment on the affected areas. Here again the area to be served must be defined. ,'i question from the audience was raised. What happed to the residents of that area if the homes are ;red tagged by the PCA? They can be forced to move from their homes.
