April 28, 1980 The matter of the petition to Anoka County to take over 24th Avenue and 81st. Mr. Schumacher had discussed this with Mr. Gotwald and he asked the Council for permission to proceed with this project. Mayor Gourley suggested that Hugo be included in the matter of 24th Avenue. Mr. McLean moved to authorize Mr. Schumacher to initate a petition to Anoka County to take over 24th Avenue and 80th Street. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried unanimoulsy. The Planning and Zoning Board report was considered. Mr. George Meadows' application for a long driveway was considered. Mr. Schumacher reported that this application had been recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Board. This driveway is over 1000' long and is necessitated by a low area in the front of the lot. Mayor Gourley questioned the absence of a Certificate of Survey - he wondered why this had been considered without this survey. Mayor Gourley was con- cerned over the possibility of this land being split and the City ending up with a house with only a street easement access. Mayor Gourley asked if there was some way the City could control this manner of splitting land. Mr. Locher felt that this land is not buildable and, if this manner, the City is protected somewhat. There was discussion of the filing of lands in Anoka as long as the parcel contains 22 acres, the County does not check for frontage footage. Mr. Locher suggested filing Ordinance #22 with the County, this sets forth the requirements for obtaining building permits. Mr. Locher suggested that perhaps Anoka County should not file any land splits unless they are approved by the local Clerk's office. Mr. Meadows was told to get a Certificate of Survey and this matter will be put on the agenda for May 12, 1980. Mr. McLean so moved. Seconded by Mr.. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried. Mrs. Mary Goodale appeared before the Council with a special use permit application for welding in a three car garage at 6864 Lakeview Avenue. This has been in operation since t979, August; presently employes 12 persons; hours for 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; this shop is located in a residential area; according to ordinances, welding is allowed in a light industrial area. The special use permit application had been signed by all persons within 300 feet of the property. Mr. McLean asked about delivery trucks ans was told that there are deliveries about once every 6 months. He was told that the steel used is picked up on a 'as needed basis'; The filtering system for the spray painting was explained; the parking spaces were discussed (there seems to be plently). The matter of the building being adequate for this type of work was questioned. It would seem the building inspector said this building is inadequate for this type of work. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to table this request until the building is brought up to code. Mayor Gourley did not feel the issue was the condition of the build- 87
