3 3/15/72 joining neighbors, and said screening to be installed within one year from the time of agreement. Seconded by Mr. Nadeau. Carried unanimously. A.A. Johnson Tool Building Addition plans were reviewed. Mr. Van Housen, in a letter dated February 22, 1972, recommended denial until revised plans would be submitted, and then upon their satisfactory review, approval. Mr. Gotwald stated in his letter of March 15, 1972, that the revised plat plan covers most of the required information as outlined in his letter dated Feb. 15, 1972. The site elevation will not be altered, therefore, the drainage plan for this addition is not necessary. He also advised that before a permit is issued for the installation of the septic tank system as shown that Mr. Johnson should submit a letter of approval from the Anoka County Health Dept. Mr, Van Housen' letter of March 13, 1972, approved the plans subject to the following: 1. Is the Sewage Disposal. System satisfactory to the Village Engineer since it is so close to the property line? 2. That the 2' blacktop mat is added throughout the parking lot in accordance with Section 7,02, 3. Add Eleven 11) 1 -1/2" - 2" caliper green ash or soft maple along street and highway as indicated in Spring 1972. Mr, Johnson asked if it is in the code that he must blacktop. Be said he would plan to but wondered if it had to be done righteway. Mr. Locher read 70.2, which states blacktop is necessary for commercial. Mr. Kelling questioned planting trees along Aqua Lane there. He said fences now trap the snow in the winter and cause it to pile up - trees would cause even more trouble, Mr. Karth advised eliminating ash or maple on Aqua Lane per Mr. Kelling's recommendation. The plans show blacktop extending from the east end of the building, Mr. Johnson asked if he couldn't sod that and move the blacktop out further, the reason being, he would like to expand in a couple years and it would be less expensive than to have to rip out blacktop. Mr. McLean advised that he have his architect or planner draw this in with red before the Council meeting to make it clearer what he plans. Mr. McLean also stated he should get the en- gineer or architect to bring the elevations up to date. They are not on these revised plans, but were on the first. Mrs. Swanson asked if the parking area is blacktopped, where is all the water in that area going to go? She stated there are no ditches along Aqua Lane, Mr. Kelling said there is a ditch that goes along Highway 8, with culverts all along under private drives. Mr. Hill noted that there might be a potential back up problem. Mr. Johnson said they were putting in a retaining wall with this in mind. Mr. Karth moved to recommend approval of the plans as submitted in accordance with the planner, engineer and Health Dept., omitting the trees on the north side of the building. Seconded by Mr. Shearen. Carried unanimously. Mr. McLean noted that a Mr, Burke had been mining or doing soil removal on village land without a permit. W. Locher indicated that the village engineer should be advised. Mr. Marier said he would look into this. W.
