8- 16--72 2-- Mr. Menkveld asked about the density of single family homes in this area. The Code specifies a lot of 11,250 sq, ft. without sewer and platted. Mr. Menkveld said they are considering building on about 14 lots. They would build on half the lots now and the other half after the sewer comes in. He advised he would probably-be in soon with plans on the #2 location. Francis Burque requested a variance to the 2 1/2 acre requirement. He wants to give a lot 160 ft. by 150 ft. to his daughter and son -in -law as a gift. This property faces on Co. Rd. #54, and the frontage exceeds that specified in the code. He said he is carrying the back line of the properties in through this area in a straight line. He submitted a percolation test dated 7/19/72, and these were attached to the variance request for the Clerk's use. Mr. Nadeau moved to reooninezd the Council grant.tbis vari neo for less than 2 1/2 acres for the property described as follows: The North 160 feet of the South 355.5 feet of the Southwest Quarter (SW 1/4) of Section 25, T31, R22, Anoka County, Minnesota. Subject to County Roar' '4. Seconded by Mr. Farrand. Motion carried. The members of the P&Z will be meeting at 7:30 P.M., September 13th, at John MoLean's home for a work session on the land use plan. The Clerk was asked to send reminders to the members. Tom King, Carriage House Stable, had been granted a special use permit at the last Council meeting, passed by the Council with the contingency that the P&Z approve. The actual structures were not passed on Mr. hoarier said. Nothing on elevations was included, just roof detail and a site pion rnd main barn plan. Mr, Van Housen's letter of August 7, 1972, was read, -iI which he commented on the site plan only. He suggested trees be plamd along the freeway, as tequested in our code. There was general discussion regarding the planting of trees along freeways. Mr. Karth felt that in his opinion trees should not be required as they con be monotonous from the standpoint of the motorist. Mr. Nadeau notes that the trees might block out the natural advertising for them, such re a neat stable end white fence. Mr. MoLean said they would not be able to have signs as such for advertising purposes since spot zoning was no longer allowed under the state code. It was felt that trees were con- ducive to noise absorption. This spot will stay-basically agricultural. There will be no animals outside. Manure will be hauled and there will be a small building for liquid waste. None of this was really shown in the plans. It was noted that they would not have to supply exterior views, but we would like them„ Mr. Kelling recommended that they submit more detailed drawings of buildings, elevation and exteriors, and that all waste disposal meet county standards. Seconded by Mr. Nadeau. Carried unanimously. In addition, Mr. Kelling, recommended to the Council that they request 30' of landscaping on the property facing the freeway, preferrably trees as suggested by the Planner. Seconded by Mr. Farrand. Carried unanimously.
