6/28/71 Mr. LaMotte inquired about the outlot in LaMotte's Second,Addition pertaining to straightening the ditch to run directly into the creek; he.noted that he had no authority to cross the St. Paul Water Dept. property. Mr. L'Allier asked Mr. Rosengren to consult with Mr. Gotwald on this., Mr. LaMotte was willing to go along, with any costs involved with the ditch. Tom Caron was asked to come forward by Mr. Cardinal. Mr. Caron was concerned about the hayroad on which Jesse Heller had been allowed to place a culvert. The plat map was viewed, showing an easement on the Caron property. W. Caron wants to place a fence along the road with access gates, but wished to know which side of the easement the posts should go on. After discussion, Mr, Bohjanen moved to have the Clerk check the records on the hayroad as well as the thoroughfare map to see if this was a dedicated road. Seconded by Mr, Cardinal. Carried unanimously. o Mr. L'Allier noted that unless we were cutting someone off, we should consider vacating the hayroad. The matter will be placed on the next agenda if the Clerk has time to find the information in the records; also, to let, Tom Caronoknow if it is on the agenda. At. 8:30 P.M., Mayor L'Allier adjourned the regular meeting and called to order the hearing for the second rezoning for Keith Apitz. Mr. Locher read through the affidavits of publication, mailing and posting and noted that they were all in order. Redommending letters from Mr. Van Housen >end Mir. Gotwald were read, as were the P&Z minutes regarding their recommendations. Mr. Apitz was asked to read over the recommending letters. Mk.. Apitz stated that State law requires a service station to have one restroom if there is hired help, but he had no plans to hire anyone at this time. However, he planned to make provisions for future hook -up to the interceptor. He was advised that the Metro. Council had passed the inter- ceptor with stipulations concerning the zoning plan and elimating additional hookups in Lino Lakes for some time. Also, our plumbing ordinance requires stubbing anyway. Mr. Cardinal reminded Mr. Apitz that he had been told here that one person couldn't hook up, but that hookup was done on an area basis. Mr. Apitz stated that he would like to leave most of the existing trees on the East side of the lo# and would put some on the line where there aren't any. He stated that he would like to plant trees and grass on the West area of, crushed., rock on the plans since he doesn't want cars that close to his house anyway. He stated that he would prefer blacktop to crushed rock, but would like to do the back area later. He noted also that he will have to fill in the front and would like to fill in the ditch also; he was advised to contact the County on the ditch. Mr. Rosengren felt there would be no problem with placing a culvert for the blacktop driveway. Mr. L'Allier asked Mr. Apitz if he had any objections to making all the corrections indicated by the Planner, Engineer and the P&Z if we allowed him to delay blacktopping the rear area for six months,; he stated that he did not. Mr. Jaworski felt that Mr. Apitz should be given a year to do the blacktop; Mr. Bohjanen, thought the time should be until the next blacktopping season. Mr. Cardinal moved to grant the rezoning to Keith Apitz under Ordinance, No. 6T(a), allowing him one year maximum to blacktop the. back portion, providing that Mr. Apitz make new plans including all the corrections indicated by the Planner, the Engineer, and the P&Z, and that the new plans be resubmitted to the Planner and the Engineer soon; also that, the Clerk send Mr. Apitz copies of the letter with the necessary corrections to be made. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Mr. L'AIlier.,felt that the motion should contain the stipulations that Mr. Apitz conform with all the recommendations of the Planner, Engineer, and the P&Z, and that same be indicated on the plans, that he finish the blacktopping no later than January 1, 1972, and that e new East setback line (10 additional feet covered with trees) be shown.
