JULY A6, 1975 <br />-3- <br />The rest of the members did not feel that an everygreen screen would <br />be necessary and Mr. Shearan moved to recommend to the Council that <br />a letter be directed to the Anoka County Health Department stating <br />that this request does not violate any City Ordinances. Mr. Gourley <br />seconded the motion. Motion carried. <br />The next item was Mr. Richard Bodick of 885 Orange Street. This matter <br />was referred from the Council Meeting of July 14, 1975 to the P Z <br />for some action. <br />Mr. Bodick is seeking permission to fill in a lot that he owns directly <br />West of his present home. He has been having water problems all spring <br />and feels that if he can fill this lot in his problems will be resolved. <br />The City was going to dig a ditch to the end of Orange street and <br />let the water drain into the swamps at the West End however the <br />owner of that property has refused permission to the City for this <br />project. The owner has also had water problems all spring and feels <br />that if the ditch were to be dug in that manner the water would simply <br />turn around and come right back into his yard and basement. <br />After much discussion of this problem and after viewing the section <br />map to determine the exact location of Mr. Bodick's land, Mr. Shearan <br />recommend that Mr. Bodick contact the engineer and get his recommendations <br />and return to the August meeting of the P$Z before this board made any <br />recommendations to the City Council. Mr. Hill seconded the motion and <br />the motion passed. <br />Mr. Bodick is to contact the City Engineer, Mr. Gotwald at his <br />convenience but the Clerk told Mr. Bodick that Mr. Gotwald would be <br />out of town from the 24th of July for several days. <br />Mr. Bodick indicated that he would contact Mr. Gotwald before then. <br />The next item for discussion was Mr. James Lowell and his request for a <br />Special Use Permit to continue operating a Bicycle Repair shop at his <br />home located at 866 Birch Street. <br />Mr. Shearan asked if most of the work was done inside or outside? <br />Mr. Lowell said that the majority of the work is done inside, either <br />in his basement or in the garage. <br />Mr. Hill questioned him on parking facilities available. Mr. Lowell <br />said that there was room for at least 4 cars at any one time. <br />Mr. Karth asked if this would be a full time business or part time. <br />Mr. Lowell said it was only part time and that eventually he would <br />seek to open a shop somewhere but he doubted if it would be at tha -t <br />location. <br />Mr. Gourley moved to recommend to hhe Council that a Special Use <br />Permit be granted to Mr. James Lowell to operate a bicycle repair <br />
