Mr. Kelling approved the minutes of the February 16th meeting as submitted. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Carried unanimously. Mr, McLean read a letter from the Clerk, dated March 7, 1972, to Mr. Oscar Ramberg of the Northwest Saddle Club. It stated that a third 90 -day temporary trailer permit would not be issued, due to lack of construction, It was also noted that the Club is in violation of Village Ordinance No, 6Q and that the trailer house should be removed immediately. Mr. McLean noted that the Saddle Club's Board will appear at the next Council meeting and tell of thirr plans. A letter dated March 9, 1972, from the Clerk to the P&Z, was reed regarding a split of property by Mr. Liehtsoheidl into two small lots, less than 2 1/2 acres each. No variance was secured. It was suggested that there could have been deeds of record in progress before our ordinance. The building permit was issued in August 1971. It was recommended that Mr. Locher look into this matter and advise of his findings to the Councils Skelly Oil is requesting a variance for sign permit #53 to increase the height of their existing sign. There is no application for variance in the records. The gentleman representing Skelly presented the Chairman with a check in the amount of $25.00 for the fee. The total height of the sign they wish to in- stall is 64.9 feet, and our codes states a maximum height of 65 feet. The lighting will be from the ground up - externally lit. The structure and face will be all steel. The SKEW sign will be raised (without the arrow as shown on the drawings) with a FCC® sign underneath. The sign as it is now, is pretty well obscured by the pine trees, Mr. Hill raised the question if it should fall, what is the proximity to the ramp. It was felt that if the wind were such to knock this down, you could have a problem with any size sign. Mr. Kelling moved to recommend that the Council permit this variance upon the receipt of application. Seconded by Mr. Hill. Carried unanimously. 8 :30 P.M. Continued hearing on Forrest Tagg rezoning request. Mr. Locher advised that Notices of Public Hearings, Publication Notice and Affidavit of Mailing are all complied with. Mr. Tagg advised that he proposed to start his construction by doing the 20 unit center building first. He has the right of way secured from the church. The State gave permission for access onto Hwy. 8, Permit 72-9A-D6. The percolator and core tests have beeamade. The well was not complete on his plans, so he has to work some more with the Anoka Health Dept, on that. He said he would not like to have to delay now, other- wise they probably couldn't get started until fall. That wouldn't be finaneiall advantageous as you would miss the peak season. He plans 68 motel units but would just complete the main building this year, and the other two buildings next year. He feels he could have the one done in 90 days. He had new plans which the architect had just completed showing the landscaping. Mr, McLean questioned why he hadn't planned for a frontage road to run along the expressway and then push his plans back in a little further. Mr, Tagg felt it would push everything too far in, Also, he said the State indicated they were thinking about putting a rest area in on the south side of 35W in that low marshy land. It was suggested he may run into problems in the future as he is only 40 plus feet set back from the fence. Should a frontage road be put in there, he might have trouble.
