FEBRUARY 19, 1975 -4- The P & Z was informed that there has been a change in the business at Ross' Corner Store, from a hardware store to a poof hall but that there had not been any complaints to the knowledge of the Clerk's. Again there is no ordinance covering this type of business at the present time and since the location Is within the commercial district, the P & Z decided to pass this information to the Council but to not recommend any action at this time because of the location and the bbsence of any complaints. The P & Z has also been informed that there is an auto body repair shop located at 874 Oak Lane, known as Smith Auto Body. The Clerk said that no-one has been in to the office inquiring about the proceedure that is to be conformed to. Mr. Sheeran made a motion to recommend to the Council that a letter be sent to that address informing the owner that he must appear before the P & Z and request a special use permit. Mr. Nadeau seconded the motion. Motion carried. Mr. Robert Emery was next on the agenda and he was present to bring his preliminary plans for a storage building and an antique car museum to be added to his present location at 6931 Lake Drive. He is In the process of finalizing the financing of this now and emphasized that the drawing he has forwarded to the P&Z is only preliminary and he has come this evening :a1y to get the reactions of the P&Z on this matter. if the plan he has presented tonight does not evolve he will then seek permission to add only one story now with the provision to add another story later. He is having a traffic study done to see if the area will support such a museum. The question arose if the proposed extension would still be within the commercial zone. Mr. Emery said that he owns 3f acres at 6931 Lake Drive and could forsee no probfems with this requirement as his present building is withing the 300' zone. He also said that they anticipate no problems for parking space. Mr. Emery said they would probably have to put some fill in the marsh area in back of his present building, but that he would only use clean fill and asked if the City has any regulations on this. He was advised to con- tact the Rice Creek Watershed District which has the jurisdiction in that area. Mr. Emery indicated that he would contact them immediately. N^xt on the agenda was the request from El Rehbeing & Sons for a Special Use Permit adjacent to their present warehouse area now on Lake Drive. The proposed use is for surface storage of miscellaneous items such as sand, stone, blocks. lumber, etc. They have complied with the regulations by ratting the consent of the neighbors within 300' of the property.
