2 1/19/72 Mr. Locher advised it would not be necessary to alter our ordinance. The state code reempts it. He did suggest there are some items that beer checking. It was advised that the Clerk make copies of this code available to the Council, Planner, Engineer and P&Z members and herself. 8:30 continued Hearing on Forrest Tagg rezoning request. The affidavits of Publication and Affidavits of Mailing of Notices to owners of parcels within 300 feet are on file. This hearing was begun at the December meeting of P&Z. The Council laid it over to the January 24th meeting. On Jan. 18, 1972, the Clerk received a call from Mrs. Tagg stating they wouldn4t be here for the P&Z meeting this Jan. 19th, but they wanted to be put on for Feb. Mr. McLean read a letter from Mr. Van Housen, dated January 11, 1972, in which he outlined that the least of Mr. Tagg's problems were his ten plans not being submitted on time. He totally failed to read or comply with the original 21Rt•C Ordinance and now Section 5.03. Mr. Van Housen's general comment was: "A request for rezoning on the total parcel of land and only a portion of it was drawn end submitted. The most valuable corner in the Village - put together in a very unsatisfactory and detrimental manner for the village.' Mr. Gvtwald stated that Mr. Tagg's biggest error is that he just hadn't identified everything that had to be done. Mr. Tagg had informed him that he was getting things put together now. Mr. Kelling moved to lay this rezoning matter over until next month. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Carried unanimously. 411 Den Waalen, U.S. Lakes Development Co., presented the revised landscaping plan for Chomonix South, showing the additional parking in red. This additional adjacent parking area wasn't shown on the last submitted plat. Sec. 101 states there must be two spaces per driveway - one of which must be enclosed. The concern of Mr. Merier was that this left no visitor parking except on the street. This could be a real hazard to the people in the area. Mr. Hill questioned if this kind of additional space could be made mandatory in our code. Others agreed it would be good. Mr. Karth moved to recommend that this be accepted as presented for additional parking. Seconded by Mr. Shearen. Carried unanimously. A soil capabilities map was presented by Mr. Al Fisher, District Conserva- tionist, Anoka Soil and Water Conservation District. These maps are air photos, the one he showed being 9 field sheets, 1 inch equalling 1,000 feet. He indicated soil samples are taken quite often. Soil capabilities were used in farming most frequently in the past. They can be used to interpret land for urban use. This could foresee some problems that might come up, such as sewer drainage and foundation problems. Mr. Fisher said the map the Metro uses was taken in 1916 and there are only 4 kinds of soil dileniated. The County now uses 50 -60. Even the areas marked as severe limitation as far as building is concerned could be overcome by really working it out, but you must know the soil types and limitations so as to do it properly. The overlay shows major expressways orzone numbers so you can identify what you're looking at. The cost of a map such as this would be $125.00 and $25.00 extra with colors. The planner book is $50.00.
