8/28/72 talked to Mr. Nasik and found that we can issue licenses for signs, but on through highways the land must be zoned commercial. Mr. Wasik hadn't written yet as his III office had run into couple of snags and was waiting for answers from the Attorney's General's office. Mr. Marier noted that the P &7 thought it would help if the Mayor sent a letter personally. After discussion, Mr. Bohjanen said he would draft a letter to Mr. Wasik. 1 1 Mr. Marier reported that the P&Z suggested that something be done about several re- zonings which had been granted in the past, and on which land no construction had taken place in the 12 month period allowed in the zoning code. After discussion it was decided that letters would be written to all who had received re- zoning more than 12 months ago asking their intentions as to building. Mr. Locher stated that the re- zonings were not automatically void. but that the Council would have to pass ordinances repealing the re- zoning ordinances. Mr. Marier reported that there was a general P &7 discussion on the mining of Village lands, noting that the ordinance requires a.permit to mine. Mr. Locher stated that the ordinance left the fee to be determined by resolution. This was discussed at length with Francis Burque and Clyde Rehbein. Mr. Cardinal moved to set the permit fee for mining dirt at $100 plus 15 per yard, with the yardage to be determined by the 'Engineer; the 6100 to include $10 for the Clerk's fee for the permit; all costs be taken out of the $100; however, if the costs amount to more than 6100, then this should come out of the yardage fees. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Carried. Mr. Marier felt that Francis Burque should like to apply for a permit if he has anything going on at present. Mr. Marier reported that the P &7 suggested that Mr. King present elevations for the drainage on his horse stable in detail on his prints. A letter will be sent. Mr. 7elinka reported that the Personnel Commission had written the specs for a utilities maintenance man around the job, not around the man. He had hoped that Mr. Gotwald would be here since the Commission had asked him for suggestions on the specs for the lift station and pumphouse work. However, he asked the Council to take specs under consideration subject to amendments. There was some discussion. Mr. 7elinka noted that the salary range had come from industry rather than municipal scale since they felt they would rather see a qualified man come from industry with the necessary capabilities. Mr. Marier wanted to do some research on the going municipal rates, stating that we don't have much room for negotiation in the range as set. This will be put on the next agenda. Mr. 7elinka felt the Council should think about setting a maximum amount aside for the repair of vehicles in an amergency and discuss this later:,, Mr. Locher reported that he had been contacted by Mr. Charles Leckie, Jr., about a variance on a parcel of land, 110' x 331', less than 21/2 acres and 150' frontage, on which he had been given a building permit in April of 1970, but which he could not sell until the matter of a variance was straightened out. Mr. Locher noted that the contract had been recorded on Feb. 23, 1966 and the deed recorded on January 26, 1968. Mr. Leckie noted that his father had acquired a parcel `lest of his at that time, but had since sold it. After discussion, Mr. Cardinal moved that the matter come before the P &7 so they can look at the variance request. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Clerk asked the reason for sending this to the P &7 as the house was already constructed. Mr. Marier stated that there was a vacant lot on each side of the parcel. Motion carried. The hearings were set at 8:15 P.M. before the P&Z on September 20th and the Council on September 25th. Mr. Locher stated that this was needed for closing on the house. Mr. Locher read a letter from a Robert Bertrand dated August 15th, concerning speeding on Ware Road. Mr. Myhre stated that he had seen Mr. Bertrand and helped him draft the letter. The problem was in identifying the driver. Mr. Myhre noted that most of the
