105 10/12/71 noted that this would also cause a problem on the other side of 4th Avenue back to the woods. Mr. Gotwald felt that the builder should contact the Village for a landscaping permit., Mr. L'Allier asked Mr. Gotwald to write the Council a letter setting forth the reasons why the ditch shouldn't be filled and authorize the Clerk to send a copy of the letter to the builder along with a request that he either appear before the Council before he does the final landscaping or contact Mr. Gotwald for suggestions. Mr. Jaworski moved to authorize the above letters. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. Jaworski asked if the culvert this builder put in isn't too small. Mr. Rosengren stated that it was too small, only about a 6" pipe, and won't work. Mr. Gotwald thought this should be noted in the letter, too. No one had additional duggestions for use of the County's allocation for un- employment funds. Mr. L'Allier asked that they bring up any such suggestions at a later Council meeting or pass them on to our County Commissioner. Glenn Rehbein stepped forward with a plat of land he hopes to develop. He stated that he had been to Van Housen and had made suggested changes. The plat is located at the SE corner of Ware Road and Birch Street on a 40 acre piece; he also has an option on an adjoining 30 acres. He plans for a 5 acre park which he will completely develop since he is in that business and has the equipment. Mr. L'Allier noted that the Council could take either park land or money. Glenn noted that the land is low but drained; he would change the ditch. Mr. Bohjanen inquired why Mr. Van Housen had not liked the original location of the park; Glenn gave him the reasons which included the fact that kids using it would have to cross all the streets to get there. Mr. Rehbein had decided to use the original park spot for the well, etc., and had drawn new park plans with ball diamonds, etc. Glenn stated that he had not made the 10 copies for the P&Z yet because they don't know what height the sewer line will be; he plans to do his own sewer and street construction and will put up a bond for the finished streets. He has obtained a building permit for a model home using the entire 40 acres as a legal description; he wishes to get a variance to put up another model home. Glenn stated that his brother would built the homes and that he himself would develop the plat. He has 77 lots in the 40 acr piece and hopes to complete the project in 2 years; he expected that there would be 35 -40 homes completed for sewer hookup next year. He showed the Council his long range plans for the additional 30 acre piece, noting that he must get some road easements up to Birch Street yet for a 60 foot road. The park would be centrally located between the two parcels; the re are 51 lots in the 30 -acre parcel. Mr. Rehbein stated that Mr. Gotwald had a copy of the plans and that Mr. Van Housen has already made his report on the proposed plat. After discussion, Mr. Cardinal moved to set hearings per our ordinances on the preliminary plat of Glenrae Estates before the Planning and Zoning Board on November 17th at 8 :30 P.M. and before the Council on November 22nd at 8:30 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. L'Allier noted that Glenn will need a variance to build the second model home.. Mr. Rehbein noted that he had observed the setbacks per the new zoning code on the first model which is located on Lot 5; he would like to place the second house on Lot 13. Mr. Locher stated that he would need a metes and bounds description for the variance. Mr. Rosengren moved to refer the variance request of Glenn Rehbein to the agenda of the Planning and Zoning Board for their Oct. 20th meeting. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously.
