Mr. Kelling and Mr. McLean had gone over the proposed Sign Ordinance with Naegele •epresentatives and had made several changes concerning height, square footage, construction material, and definitions. However, they did not wish to delete any districts in the ordinance because of the fact that strictly residential and commercial zoning does not cover every situation presently in the Village and other situations which it is anticipated may arise in the future. Mr. Karth moved to recommend to the Council the acceptance of Ordinance Number 51 with the recommended changes, keeping the districts as proposed previously. Fee schedules from St.. Paul, Minneapolis and the previously subnLtted fees were also attached to the ordinance; fees being a Council matter. Seconded by Mr. Jester. Motion carried. A sample ordinance with the recommended changes was given to the Attorney for transmitting to the Council.

The :Attorney showed that all legal requirements had been met. Two Cemetery Board members 'were present along with Mr. and Mrs. ilahlberg. The Board members stated that they wished the additional four acres to add to the present cemetery for future expansion. No one in the audience or on the Planning Board objected to the Special Use Permit. Mr. Locher explained the fees involved and stated the Cemetery Board would receive a statement from the Clerk. Mr. Stanley moved to recommend to the Council that a Special Use Permit be granted to Twitchel Cemetery Association, Inc., for expansion of the present cemetery.

No one was present from the NW Saddle Club which had also requested a public hearing this evening. Mr. Locher attempted to telephone representatives several times but was unable to reach anyone. In the meantime, Mr. McLean brought up the subject of temporary trailer permits. Mr. McLean wanted to put some 'meat" into the ordinance so individual trailer owners could not move their trailers into the Village and then come before the Council and force their hand. Mr. Stanley suggested a fine be levied against people who move in before obtaining a permit. Mr. McLean thought we should get rid of the Building Inspector's ability to issue permits and they should be issued only through the Board of Zoning and the Council.
