Mr. Pete Madeau was present and appeared before the Council asking directions for vacating his East B -rch Addition plat, and some response from the Council on the refunding of the money paid into the park dedication fund. Mayor Gourley said the Council would need a petition from M. Nadeau for the va- cation of the plat. On the question of the park money, he would like time to dis- cuss this matter before any decision is made on this point. After some discussion on the manner in which this could be handled, the Council decided that they would like some time to discuss this matter before a decision is made. They will try to have an. answer for Mr. Nadeau by September 22, 1980. The public hearing on Lakes Add. #7 preliminary plat was called to order at 10:00 III P.M. Mayor Gourley said he had received a request from the developer for a two weeks delay. Mayor Gourley moved to continue this hearing until September 22, 1980 at 10:00 P.M. Some of the residents in the audience asked that the meeting be set at an earlier time. The Public Hearing is already scheduled for the earlier time. A special meeting was suggested. Mayor Gourley changed his motion to set a special hearing for September 29, 1980 at 7:30 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. The Public Hearing on Ord. #22A, Street Specifications, was called to order at 10:05 P.M. Mr. Locher pointed out the portions of Ord. #22 that have been can- celled and replaced by the Sections in Ord. #22A. The revisions were discussed. Mr. McLean moved to approve Ord. #22A as presented. Seconded by Mr. Kusaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. The proposed Ordinance #52A was opened for hearing at 10:15 P.M. This ordinance dealing with the drevisions of platting fees, special use, variance and rezoning fees. The administrative fee was raised to $50.00, platting fee deposit is $500.00, deposit fee on all requests is $100.00. Mrs. Elsenpeter wondered if there is any way a simple variance or special use per- mit deposit can be waived? Could this be an administrative function? Mr. Schumacher felt this would put a lot of responsibility on the staff and some of the simple requests could end up not being so simple and legal, engineering or planning services could be required. He felt it would be better to collect and refund if not needed rather than incurring the costs and then trying to collect.
