t JULY 16, 1975 -2- After much discussion, the members of the P &Z that were present asked that Mr. and Mrs. Baumgart return to the next meeting (August 20th) with more specific plans. Mr. Hill arrived and the meeting was opened at 8:55 P.M. Because a discussion was underway regarding .Mr. and Mrs. James Kohler's request for a Special Use Permit to keep one horse on 22 acres of land rather than the 5 acres that are required by the terms of Ordinance No. 26. Mrs. Kohler said that the horse would be for her children and that at the present time they do not have a barn but will construct one only if the horse works out in relation to the family situation. Mr, Karth asked if they thought they would have enough land to pasture the horse properly? Mrs. Kohler said that they have made arrangements with her neighbors to pasture the horse on their property if the special use permit were granted. Mr. Starr said that he could see no objection provided only one horse is kept at that location. Mr. Hill asked if the Kohler shouldn't apply for a Variance rather than a Special Use permit. Mr. Karth said that a special use permit would be preferable in this case because the Kohler might some day sell the property and then the variance could present problems for the City. Mr. Shearan moved to recommend to the Council that a Special Use Permit gbe granted to Mr. and Mrs. James Kohler to keep one horse at 7133 Mound Trail, an annual renewal of this permit will be required. At this point Mr. Shearan moved to accept the minutes of the June 18, 1975 meeting. Mr. Gourley seconded the motion. Motion carried. Mr. Karth then asked Mr. Blackbird to give a summary of the discussion that had been held regarding the sale of Rehbein Excavating to Rite -Way Waterproofing, Inc. for the benefit of Mr. Hill in order to have a motion made to the Council for action. Mr. Blackbird reiterated the purchase stipulation made by Rite -Way that they must be allowed to dump cement scraps and land (dirt) that is not good for anything else. Anoka County Health Department has given approval of this according to Mr. Anderson of Rite -Way: Mr. Blackbird is asking that the Council give some indication in writing that there would be no violation of City Ordinances if they were to dump there. Mr. Hill said that he could- see no objections but asked that a screen of everygreen type trees be placed along the rear portion of the lot that borders on Fourth Avenue.
