(3) Sept. 18, 1974 Mr. Prokop and Mr. Jankus presented their revised petition to the Planning and Zoning Board. They had also received a soil analysis from the Anoka County Soils Department stating that the soils in that area are of the Hayden type and serve as an excellent base for roads. Also, this type of soil provides for excellent drainage. Mx. Shearer felt that if the building permits could be restricted he would approve alternative #3. Lombardi wondered if the City can legally stop people from building on their c,-swn property. He felt that this question will be resolved by the State and in not :o'i distant future. g'',rLocher reviewed the Johnson case where the building permit was denied but this 'as on a 20 foot easement. There was discussion on the type of street that serves that area and Rolling Hills .rive is an oiled street at the present and he felt that an oiled street in the Lrea would be sufficient. P{r. Locher brought up the requirement of extending the roadway 150 foot into Mr. Ja--:kus's property and accepting this as a public roadway. ^_;-sire was more discussion on the possibility of other lots in the area being sold aid the people applying for building permits. Kelling moved to recommend to the Council a variance to Ordinance 22 under :'sction 27 accepting alternate #3 with the stipulation that when other lots are tp.td the street be brought up to City specifications, at property owners expense, that the street be wind rowed with the oil, mixed and then packed down, this street will be accepted for partial maintenance only, this to include the 150' into the Jeakus property, building permits to be issued one to each of the two petitioners, only, turn around into the Jankus property to end in a cul-de-sac with a 100' eiameter. Seconded by Mr. Shearen. Motion carried. Mr. Prokop thanked the Board and asked that copies of thise minutes be mailed to him. Mere re was no old business. ui3.nr new business, Mr. Hill brought up the problem of the horses at Old Highway 8 -14 Elm Street. He felt that this situation should be looked into. The names of the p:<•pie involved must be obtained first. ?x, Locher brought up the differences between the State statutes and the City Oruinances in who is to be notified and how in the cases of rezoning. The City Ordinances reads 'registered' mail but Mr. Locher has been using 'certified' mail vith a return receipt requested. He felt this is sufficient and suggested that pa -haps the Ord. should be changed to read as such. Mr. Lombardi suggested the elimination of reading the entire legal description. He thought if it was posted in the Hall this would be enough. The Board members agreed. M=. Kelling moved to adjourn at 10:00 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Hill. Aye.
