The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Village Planning and Zoning Board was called to order at 8 :00 P.M., December 15, 1971, by Mr. McLean. All members were present. Mr. Cardinal was absent due to illness. Mr. Karth moved to accept the minutes of the November 17th meeting as pre- sented. Seconded by Mr. Kelling. Carried unanimously. The applicants requested removal of the sign applications from the Agenda. They asked thlt,they be postponed until February. Mr. Locher advieed he had not had the opportunity to review the new state code for placement of signs. He had talked to the Mayor about it and it.waa felt the revision Wea that they can only be located on commercial or industrial zone areas. It would be expensive to zone a small area, but that might be just the idea. He will check further into this and have a report for the Jantiry meet- ing. Mr, Keith advised that Naegele was to have a meeting with the state on Monday. Mr McLean said he would call Naegele then and see if anything had developed and let Mr. Locher know. There was general discussion as to the square footage allowed in the code book for different dwelling unite. Mr. Kelling felt the 800 ft. code for a single family dwelling was a carry over from en old code. It was to help older and younger couples. Mr. Rehbein thought this was upgraded to about 960 eq. foot at zone time. He felt the minutes would show it although it was never carried over to the code book. Mr. Kelling end Mr. Jester thought they remembered something to this effect too. Mrs. Thiltgen was Clerk at the time. Mr. Kellirl thought some kind of a compromise was needed. A two bedroom dwelling was not necessary for older couples, and the present code makes no provision for any- thing less except in a single family dwelling. It was recommended that the Clerk - Treasurer ask the building inspector if the garage on the Rogalle property had a building permit, and if it is situated right according to the code. There was discussion as to what the sheet metal building is that is on Highway 49, on the property next to Dick Olson's house. Did the owner have a permit to put this up, and what is being done back in that swampy area. 8:30 Hearing on the request for a Special Use Permit for Eugene M. Jerdee and DeLores L. Jerdee, to allow them to operate a small engine repair shop, et 899 West County Rd. J. The Affidavit of Mailing is dated December 3, 1971. M. Jerdee indicated he will sell and service Jacobsen lawn and snowblower equip- ment, but will neither sell nor service snowmobiles. It is not a full time job as he works for the Village of Blaine. He took out a building permit (# 245) in September for a pole -type building, but did not put up that sort of structure. He says the sign he has up is 4x2. He has done eadensive grading for lawn and road improvement end plans to fi11 it in in the spring. There had been some question from neighbors as to why he was grading. They had wondered if he planned to expand, and they were wary that this might entail e; great deal of noise. He said it was solely for landscaping purposes. He isn't requesting rezoning, just a special use permit. Mr. Husnick moved to recommend the Special Use Permit be granted to allow them to operate a small engine repair shop, not to include snowmobile engines, and to sell.'lawnmowers, garden tractors and snowblowers, new and used, within the existing buildings, subject to annual inspection as to compliance. Seconded by Mr. Hill. Carried.
