Mr. Jaworski reported that work has started on the removal of the trees on Sunrise with the use of County men.

Also request from the Metro Council and the PCA any information available as to their plans and intentions; also the restriction that they must abide by. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Mr. Al Ross, from the audience, said that he was grateful for the action taken by the Council. He has been very active in this area and felt that this was a positive action by the Council. He discussed the problem enc cantered by Our Village in 1967 when we proposed a landfill in the Holly Drive area. Not only the adjoining Village abjected but the St. Paul and Minneapolis water departments. He reported that County Ditch #53 runs directly through this proposed area and empties directly into Golden Lake. He felt that there should be public hearings before this is approved and contrary to reports, the permit has not been granted by the PCA. Mr. Bohjanen asked if the County had made a decision at their last meeting or if the matter had been held over to a later date. Mr. Ross said they had laid it over to their next meeting which is Thursday, November 30th. This matter will be considered at that time. Mr. Cardinal reported that he had seen the plans of the proposed development of that area. There are 440 sq. acres., The plan is to dredge the small lake there now and to use this material to cover the debris hauled in. The future plans for the area are quite extensive. Mr. Jaworski called for a vote on the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Marier reported on the P &Z meeting of November 22, 1972. He asked Mr. Locher if there had been any decision from the State on the certification of a sign ordinance. Mr. Locher said, NO, not yet. Mr. Marier asked about a helicopter being launched from a private yard adjacent to the highway. Mr. Locher will check with the State and report back at the next meeting. The businesses being conducted from private homes was again discussed. Mr. Locher read from our Ordinance, but if these businesses were in operation before August 5, 1971, . then they would fall under the grandfather clause and are entirely legal.
