2 2/16/72 gas will all be Underground. The power company wondered if they should pelt wiring underground for Mute ,etteet;l ghtingi It would lay in the ground until the Village would request poles in certain areas. It would be much more economical this way. Mr. Merier will check with the Council on this. Mr. Rehbein indicated that the 7 acre park in the project will be seeded end . completed by him. It is already dedicated. It will be a selling point for the project, Mr. brier will check with the Park Board ooneerning this park. Mr. Keliing moved to recommend to the Council that the Engineer prepare plans and specifications per Glenn Rehbein's petition per Ordinance 22. Seconded by Mr. Sheeran. Carried unanimously. Ken Rehbein requested a variance to Ord. f'21A, to split a 1 acre lot into the following parcels: Lot "A": The West 90 feet of Lot 3, Auditor's Sub. No. 100 and Lot "8 ": Lot 3, Auditor's Sub. No. 100, Anoka County Minnesota, except the West 90 feet thereof." The property is less thil2 1/2 acres on a dedicated road, The reason for thi' appeal is that the property is 1 acre square with 208 feet of road frontage az . by splitting it, it would enable him to build a horse on the extra piece. The homes on both sides are approximate 100 foot lots, so he feels this would be the thing to do with this property. Mr. Hill questioned the drainage as it slopes toward Co. Road 23. Mr. Rehbein said it is a level piece of property and will not need to be regraded. Mr. Locher said it would be costly to plat this, so it lends itself to a variance. Also, the County would require e turn around so no one would back out on Main`St. M'. Shearen moved to re- commend that the Council apptove this varielce with the stipulation to in- clude a turn arbund on the property. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Carried unan. Mr. McLean read a letter dated February 15, 1972, from Mr, G0twald concerning Mr. Rebbein's site and office building plans on Highway 8 (County Rd, 23) and Main St. He stated that the plans generally comply to the Village Ordinance requirements. The exception is that a detailed plan of the proposed septic tank and drain field system is required. He recommended that the developer submit a plan to the Village Clerk. This plan should have the approval of the Anoka County Comprehensive_ Health Dept. The letter further states that the plans for the disposal of storm drainage is adequate, providing that the site is completed as shown on the plan. He did point out however, that as the area develops, the ditch along Hwy. 8 will become inadequate. No letter of reccndation had yet been received from Mr. Van Housen. Mr. McLean suggested that the back line should be screened from the home area. He felt a positive, physical screening would be indicated (instead of just pine trees) such as redwood fencing, It was thought this might be best work- ed out with the neighbors. W. Hill was concerned that the culvert across Vicky Lane might not be aiifficient to handle the disposal of storm drainage. One of the neighbors present indicated that the culvert is plugged up at present. Mr. McLean re- commended we continue on with this site plan until the March meeting to give Mr. Rehbein time to conform to the suggestions in Mr. Gotweld's letter. Also,
