6/28/71 Mr, L'Allier stated that he had talked with Mr. Gotwald on the bids for sewer and water in the Chomonix project. Mr. Gotwald had recommended setting a hearing with the Fiscal Agent and the Chomonix people to meet on the assessments. He hadn't heard from the Metro Sewer Board. Mr. Jaworski moved to set a special meeting for this Thursday, July 1, at 8 P.M. on assessments for Lakes Add'n. no. 2. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. The Clerk will call Mr. Gotwald, who will contact the Fiscal Agent. Mr. Locher agreed to come. The Clerk will call and write the Chomonix people. Mr, L'Allier asked Mr. Locher to pinpoint on the plat map the parcel which the Village had purchased on the North Centerville Line on Main Street. He stated that Mr. Ray Brown, who owns adjoining land, would like to purchase the parcel. The parcel is all marsh with the exception of one high spot. It was noted that Mr. Brown would have to appear before the Council before they could do anything about the sale. Mr. Locher stated that it would have to be by quit- claim deed, Mr, L'Allier moved to write Mr. Brown that we were willing to sell the parcel in question on a quit -claim deed, asking him to appear before the Council. Mr, Brown would be required to pay any costs involved and any taxes, as well as the cost of the abstract. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. The Clerk was advised to consult the Attorney on proper wording of the letter. Mr. Locher reported that he had been contacted by a Mr. Zonki, who owns land in Aud, Sub. #100 at the corner of 79th St. and Lake Drive (lots 14 and 15). His right of way is in 79th Street. Mr. Locher felt that Mr. Gotwald should check this out, noting that it would be difficult for the Roads Dept. to plow snow if Mr. Zonki put a fence around his lot. He thought we might obtain additional right of way. Mr, Rosengren noted that this was originally the driveway to the old Ed Lichtscheidl farm. Mr. Locher noted that the road has been maintained, but doesn't know if there are cartway easements. Mr. Gotwald is to track this down. Mr. Locher noted that a new State law requires an additional fee of 50¢ to be collected with every building permit or .005 of the fee whichever is higher. There was discussion on the practicality of amending Ord. No. 6 to effect this fee charge, and also on the new building code. Mr. Locher stated that he had talked with Louie Clayson,of the League who had stated that the Code would pre- empt the local building codes and all local ordinances regarding same. The Building Inspector is to obtain a copy of the new Code for his own use. The Clerk was instructed to get a copy of the new Code from the League. Mr. Locher stated that the Code would go into effect July 1, 1972, but that collection of the fee starts July 1, 1971. Mr. Rosengren moved to adopt a resolution that an additional State fee of 50¢ would be added onto all building permits starting July 1, 1971. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Copies of this resolution will go to the P&Z and to Mr. Dupre. The matter ,. of gas service to Molin Concrete Products was brought up under old business. Letters from the Village of Circle Pines and from North Central Public Service Co. were read, explaining their views of the subject. ,Mr. L'Allier asked M. Dannheim whether be was aware that Sullivan (Engineer for C.P. Utilities) had contacted Molin. Mr. Dannheim stated that it happened quite by accident, that Sullivan was doing some other work for Molin, and had indicated to Molin that they could probably get firm gas from Circle Pines. Mr. Rosengren presented a letter from Molin, which was read. Mr. L'Allier asked Mr. Dannheim who Mr. Sebastian was, and was told that he works in the Sullivan office. Mr. L'Allier stated that there appears to be some conflict as to what did or didn't happen. To minimize the discussion, he felt that copies of the correspondence involved should be submitted to the other parties involved. If there are any misunderstandings they should be asked to respond to the comments. Mr. Locher stated that there would be no problem in doing so, only if Molin needs service right away.
