132 March 25, 1975 must maintain some control over businesses in order to conform with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and see that they are established in the areas so designated. Mr. Smith said this is a small part -time business and used to supplement his income. Mr. Marier reiterated that this is not aimed at his business, specifically, but at all businesses located in residential areas. Mr. Marier felt that unless controls are maintained, Lino Lakes would be severely criticized for non - conformance to the Land Use Plan. Mr. Smith said that he has no signs, the garage is also used for family cars, and he has no plans for expansion. Mr. Zelinka asked what his position would be if there were complaints? Mr. Smith said he would have to quit. At the present the neighbors have not complained. If this permit is denied he would suffer quite a financial Toss. There was some discussion on the $25.00 fee for the special use permit. Mr. Smith thought that $25.00 per year was excessive. Mr. Marier said this will have to be taken up by the Council at a later date. - Mr. Marier moved to grant the special use permit for one year at which time it will be reviewed. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried. Mr. Smith was reminded that special use permits are non - transferable. Mr. Smith requested a copy of the minutes of this meeting. The Clerk will mail them to him. Mr. Dennis Frick of 6025 Sunrise Avenue had appeated before the Planning and Zoning Board requesting a special use permit to establish a repair shop at that location.

At that time the permit would be reviewed. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Mr. Frick had some questions as to signs and advertising. He was told that if the sign is under six square feet, a sign perm it is not necessary.

Mr. Henry Meirs had appeared before the Planning and Zoning Board asking for a variance to Ordinance 21 A to extend his driveway beyond the 400 feet.
