1 8 September 26, 1977 Mr. McLean reported on the actions forwarded to the Council. Mr. thoeny had requested a variance to split a lot on Elm Street. This would create two lots of approximately 1.6 acres each. He is requesting a variance to the front footage requirement of 1501. This is the remaining lands and the Planning and Zoning had recommended approval. Mr. McLean so moved. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Art Rehbein had asked for clearance for a building permit on the Edith Kammerer pro- perty and had presented the Planning and Zoning with a variance application that had been approved at one time by the Council. The Clerk had researched the minutes and found the variance was for the transfer of title and stipulated that no building permit would be iss- ued on that property until such time as a street was put in. This material had been copied and forwared to Mr. Rehbein and Mr. Locher. Mr. McLean asked Mr. Locher to present a writt- en opinion on this matter for Planning and Zoning consideration. Mr. Lee Robinson had presented a variance to request to split off a parcel of land less than the required 22 acres. The land has more than the required frontage. The Planning and Zon- ing had requested that the rear lot line be extended to line up with the existing lots to the South and Mr. Robinson had agreed. The Planning and Zoning had recommended approval with this stipulation. Mr. McLean so moved. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Mr. McLean amended the motion to include "no variance request be sumitted to the Planning and Zoning Board for consideration unless a certificate of survey is included ". Mr. Schneider accepted the amendment. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. McLean questioned the procedure for application of funds for the cost in revising the Comprehensive Land Use Plan per Metropolitan Council suggestion. The Clerk was instructed to contact Mr. Short on this matter. Mr. Schneider presented the figures to be certified to the County for levy pruposes. He said the internal budget could not be approved at this time due to several adjustments that must be made. If the levy limit is approved, the mill rate will be less than oeemill more than in 1977. After some discussion, Mr. Karth moved to certify the maximum amount of $192,431.00 to the Anoka County Auditor for levy for the year 1978. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously. (Mr. Schneider requested the figures be double checked.). Mr. Schneider reported he had met with the Centennial Hockey Association on the problem of hockey rinks at Sunrise Park. There had been discussion of constructing a new rink, but due to the construction costs, it was decided to repair the old rink. Some of the posts and some of the boards need to be replaced and the lighting needs to be realigned. Mr. Schneider said he had some indication that some financial assistance may be forth coming from Blaine. The hockey association had agreed to this proposal. Mr. Locher had checked the request for information on the City's bonded indebtness and said the Clerk should fill out and return to the firm requesting the information. Mr. Locher read the petition from the persons interested in extending the utility lines on East Shadow Lake Drive. Mr. Locher said the amount to be placed in escrow cannot be det- ermined until Mr. Gotwald has bids. This Council should pass a Resolution authorizing this work to be done. He felt that possibly the street surfacing would not be completed until next year, but the Council could allow building to commence but not issue a certificate of occupancy until the hookups are completed. Mr. McLean asked if the City needed to advertise for bids and Mr. Locher said, No, since this is not a City project, it is merely being installed in a City street. Mr. Locher reminded the Council that permission for this extension must be obtained from the Metropol-
