2 11/17/71 area. It is 4o acres on two tarred streets, Ware Road and Birch Street. He is dedicating 5 acres to parks instead of giving 10% can value. He stated the park area is in a low land, but drainable propperty. There are plans for 30 adjoining acres. There was discussion with Mrs. Ahlman as to whether you needed a 50 or 75 foot variance for cul -de -sacs. She pointed out further that there was no turn around on one unnamed road. It was recommended that it be shown as a cul -de -sac on the plat. Mr. Rehbein said the second addition of 30 acres will be started soon and, therefore, the road will go through, but that he will have it changed and so shown on the plat for now. There are no named streets as yet. Private ditches will be moved. The park area will be deeded over to the Village when the final plat is approved. "1r. Lundheim, the County Engineer, in his letter of Nov. 15, 1971, to P =Ir. Meyer, advised several opinionF in regard to the Preliminary Plat. He advised a total right of way width of 120 feet for Birch Street. Also that the access directly onto Birch Street by Lots 2, 3 & 4 were unsatisfactory and dangerous. He advised of 3 ways to correct this: a)Serviee road (least desireable); b) Extension of turn - around Northerly to Co. Highway, permitting a row of lots on each side; c) Plan for a street or row of lots South of County Highway with no access onto County Road to the North. Mr. Van Housen recommended in a letter dated November 16, 1971, that houses be built on every other lot until the sanitary sewer is completed and functioning, and that some recreation facilities for girls be provided in the park area. Mr. Gotwald had penned in on the plat map that the Preliminary Plat fulfills the fequirements of the Village. They will forward a report of approval on or before 11-22-71. Mr. Rehbein indicated there is sufficient drainage and in some cases existing ditches will be moved. There will be no ditch in the park area because of the problem with children. Mr. Kelling moved to recommedd to the Council that they approve the Preliminary Plat for the Shenandoah area with the following stinilations : 1. Widening the right of way on Birch Street from 50 to 60 feet for 120 feet total. 2. Provide in property turn arounds on lots 2,3 & 4 to prevent County Road access problems. 3. Laterals for sewage system be provided in street before houses are erected, and hooked up to a temporary holding system until hook up can be made with the sanitary sewer system. Seconded by Mr. Hill. Carried unanimously. Mr. Rehbein, still abstaining, asked for a variance for his business property on Highway 49. Out present code states 40' getback and it is already within that at 36.5'. He would like to build a ten foot addition on the front of the building. Mrs. Ahlman stated that the road was going to be widened in that area. She said she had been advised of this herself. After some discussion Mr. Kelling moved to table it until we can get more adequate information and the attorney can act on it. Seconded by 'Ir. Hill. Carried unanimously.
