November 26, 1973 The rezoning hearing for Richard Walbon was called to order at 8:15P.M. This request had been heard at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting. The mailing list and affadivit of publication had been read. Mr. Walbon was questioned as to the use of the land and he answered that it is for a shop and office and storage of excavating equipment. He agreed that he would abide by the recomm- endations of the Planner for screening on the rear of the lot. Mr. Jaworski questioned Mr. Walbon as to the width of the driveway - would it be wide enough for the type of equipment he would have. Mr. Walbon said there was room to widen the driveway so that it was adequate. The Planning and Zoning Board had recommended approval of this rezoning request and Mr. Marier so moved. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Cardinal moved to adjourn the hearing at 8:25 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Marier reported that the Comprehensive Land Use Report from the Metro Council had been discussed and there are areas of differences. The P &Z had requested that the Clerk write to Mr. Boland asking for a 30 day extension in order to give Mr. Starr time to resolve these differences. This has been done. Mr. Marier reported that he had calls concerning the County's offers for the lands located within the Open Space area. Many people are not satisfied with the appraisals of their property. He felt that the Council should meet with the entire Board of County Commissioners to certify our Open Space Resolution and to discuss the use of the Park. Mr. Marier moved to set up a meeting with the Anoka County Board of Commissioners to get this -. Resolution certified before the end of the year. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Motion carried unanimously. The Clerk was instructed to write to the Board of Commissioners requesting that the entire Board attend a joint meeting set for December 6, 1973 at 8:00 P.M. to be held here at the Village Hall. If this date is inconvient for the Board, would they set a date when it would be possible for them to meet with the Village Council. Mr. Jaworski questioned the law that allows Anoka County to condemn land for Park purposes - does this law-apply if the park is to be a regional not county park? Mr. Locher wasn't sure of this but felt that the intent of the County at the time of concept would have some bearing on this. Mr. Marier said that at the time of concept this could have been for just a local park not regional. Mr. Marier announced that a meeting of the NSSB will hold a meeting on December 27, 1973 at 8:00 P.M. in Fridley. He asked the Clerk to read a letter from David Larson to Mr. Honsey of the MSB dealing with their studies in reference to the interceptor. He also had a copy of the report if any one wanted a copy of it. Mr. Cardinal reported that there had been a Park Board Meeting and that the skating rink at the Hall is leveled. He also has the address where the trailer can be obtained. He asked the Clerk if a list of names had been submitted for supervision in the unit. She said she had not received a list as yet. Mr.
