OPEN MIKE There were five items to be discussed under 'Open Mike', which was added to this month's agenda for the first time. The purpose of this is to allow persons to appear before the board with questions regarding their own situations without the red tape involved. The five items discussed were as follows: Lino Video /Bright Interiors - Portable Sign - Mr. Michael Ring re- presented these businesses asking about the portable sign which they have been using to advertise their business. Mr. Kluegel has informed Mr. Ring that the ordinance no longer allows this type of sign and that it would have to be removed by February 15. The Board suggested that Mr. Ring apply for a 30 -day permit which can be issued for a temporary sign, since the sign is frozen to the ground; and after the ground thaws, the sign must be removed at which time Mr. Ring may consider a more permanent type of sign. Mr. Ring was satisfied with this suggestion. Feasibility - Body Shop - Mr. Richard Cape appeared before the Board asking whether the Board would be in favor of a small body shop (28'X32' garage) to repair minor dents and body work on a parcel in a rural area.

The Board explained that rezoning one parcel for this use would not be a viable alternative since it would be con- sidered 'spotzoning' and that the other possibility of a variance would be considered generally only if there was a hardship of the land. The Board interpreted the ordinances relating to this type of situation and explained that the ordinance would have to be followed, Feasibility - Car Wash - Two gentlemen appeared before the Board asking how the Board would feel about the establishment ofa car wash within Lino Lakes. No location had yet been determined. The Board recommended that the gentlemen choose a location in General Business (where a car wash is a conditional use) or in an industrial district; make available some figures regarding water usage, since possibly the. water usage and storm sewer usage may warrant an area with utilities; and plan for an attractive• building. If an application were made including the above the Board would be agreeable to consider the venture. Feasibility - Oversize Garage. Mr. Dennis Wegan appeared before the Board asking how the Board would feel about him enclosing his carport which is attached to his garage. Mr. Kluegel explained that a building permit was issued to Mr. Wegan 'for a 1,000 square foot garage. Mr. Wegan put the groundwork in for a 2,000 square 95
