254 February 25, 1974 Mr. McLean moved to pass a Resolution to express the feeling of opposition of the City Council to Senate File No. 2770 and House File No. 2904. This bill is in direct conflict with the City Comprehensive Land Use Plan as approved by the Metropolitan Council. The decision to issue building permits is the responsibility of the governing body. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Marier reported Mr. Amundsen had appeared at the Planning and Zoning Board with the request that the Village pay for his member ship fee to join the Professional Building Inspector Group. Mr. Marier so moved. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Mr. Jaworski asked Mr. Locher if our Ordinance governing the storage of flamable liquids covered all flamable materials? He said that he had spotted a 300 gallon or so storage by a house. He thought that it was too close to the building. He also asked if we required a permit for storage and if there was a fee? Mr. Locher said the Ordinance covered all combustible materials, but there are no provisions in the Ordinance for charging a fee. Mayor Bohjanen felt that if there is a fee, there should be a form noting that the party has paid a fee and has permission for the storage of flamable liquid. Mr. Marier moved to charge a $10.00 fee for permission to store flamable liquid. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried. Mr. Marier moved to amend the motion to say "The $10.00 would only cover 500 gallons. The additional fee would be $5.00 per 500 gallons." Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried. Mr. McLean reported on the Park, Recreational and Enviornmental Commission meeting held on February 18, 1974. There were five members present with two absent. The rough draft of the Ordinance had been gone over. Mr. Jim McGeary had been elected Chairman, Mr. Frank Resch as Vice- Chairman. Mr. Clausen and Mrs. Kendall had been given the task of physical development recommendations for Sunrise Park; Mr. Kent and Mr. Resch the Hall property; Mr. McGeray the Lino Park in conjunction with the Lions Club. The long range overall plan, Mrs. Brission and Mrs. LeTourneau. The plans for Sunrise and Hall property along with cost estimations should be finished within six months in order to be availabel for budget meetings. The Lino Park plans should be finished within sixty days so that bids can be let for work to be done in the Spring. The long range plans should be done within a year. The next meeting is scheduled for March 18, 1974. Mr. McLean had discussed the Lino Park plans with Mr. McGrary and they agreed that fencing is necessary. He asked if the Council would approve his requesting assis- tance from Mr. Gotwald as to the specifications needed to let bids for this fencing. The general consensus of the Council was this was allowed. The patrol car bids were discussed and the letter from Chrysler Motors dealing with the problems with the 1972 car that we now own. It was felt that the letter was very vague and problems with the 1972 car that we now own. It was felt that the letter was very vague and stated nothing. Mr. Marier felt that we should have a record of our dealings with this company. Mr. McLean would like clairfication from Barnett Chrysler /Plymouth covering the problems with the 1972 Plymouth. There was a suggestion that we use this as a leverage in whether or not the bid for the new car will be accepted.
