Mr. Cardinal moved to grant a special use permit to Eugene Jerdee and Delores L. Jerdee, to allow them to operate a small engine repair shop at 899 West County Road J, not to include snowmobile engines, and to sell lawnmowers, garden tractors and snowblowers, new and used, within the existing buildings, subject to annual inspection as to compliance. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. The hearing closed at 9:03 p.m. The hearing for requested rezoning by Forrest Tagg was called to order at 9 :04 p.m. Mr. Locher read the notice:, the legal description and the affidavit of mailing, noting that it was published in the Forest Lake Times on Dec. 2nd. All were in order. No one wished to speak in opposition. Mr. Cardinal reported that the P&Z had been advised by Mr. Van Housen that there was an inadequate submittal, and Mr. McLean recommended that the hearing be continued until the January meeting if Mr. Tagg can come up with the necessary information. Mr. L'Allier stated that he understood what they had wanted was a complete site plan laying out what the entire parcel would be used for. Mr. Tagg was confused as to what he actually needed, stating that he had a plat map there. The P&Z had not wanted to rezone the entire parcel, but only where the motel was to be lo- cated. He wished the spot where the sign would be located to be rezoned also. Mr. Tagg stated that he had not yet had the opportunity to talk with Mr. Gotwald as had been suggested. Mr. Locher stated that his recollection was that,Section 5.03 of the zoning code had not been fully complied with in that all of the plan had not been submitted to the Planner and the P&Z at least 10 days ahead of the hearing, and that there was supposed to be a discussion netween Mr. Tagg and Mr. Gotwald on sewer and servicing for sewer. He noted too that the entire parcel had been in the notices and that we could rezone any part of that parcel, but could not go beyond those limits. He thought that the feeling of the P&Z was that only the portions for which Mr. Tagg had use should be rezoned at this time. It had been mentioned that we have rezoned 3 corners of the intersection of 35E and they have been sitting there doing nothing for 3 or 4 years now. Also, he had not acquired highway access. There was discussion on this, with Mr. Locher noting that we can't rezone a lanlocked parcel; he suggested spot zoning for the sign. Mr. L'Allier asked the Clerk to send a transmittal to Mr. Van Housen to see exactly that he wanted and also to let the Engineer know he is to contact Mr. Tagg. Mr. Jaworski noted that he had talked with one of the board members of the church who had indicated that the road easement matter had passed the board and was not waiting for a vote by the congregation after the first of the year. Mr. Tagg asked about the screening. Mr. L'Allier didn;t know what the thoughts of the P&Z were on screening around a nice building. Mr. Bohjanen felt that this should be open for various idead on screening different types of buildings. Mr. Cardinal moved to reset the Forrest Tagg rezoning before the P&Z at 8 :30 p.m. on January 19th and before the Council at 8 :30 p.m. on January 24th. Seconded
