150 12/27/71 by W. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Tagg asked if he would be able to rezone the entire piece or only 3 or 4 acres. He stated that the motel would, take up 23 acres, and the 40 acres in the swamp would be left for the time being. Mr. L'Allier felt this could be left for the new Council. Mr. Locher stated that Mr. Tagg would need a survey for the portions he wished rezoned, also a permit from the State Commissioner for the sign; he read parts of the new State law. Mr. Jaworski suggested that the swamp be left as a green area. The hearing was closed at 9:18 p.m. Mr. Tagg was asked to send a note to the Clerk if he wished the size to be rezoned reduced. Mr. Cardinal had a question from the P&Z as to whether the Building Inspector had been contacted to see if there was a building permit for the garage on the Rogaila property. The Clerk thought there was one. Also, a question had arisen as to whether the person next to Dick Olson's on Lake Drive had gotten a building permit for the metal shed he had erected in the swamp. Mr. Rosengren noted that if the owner had sufficient acreage he would need no permit. Mr. Locher thought it was a 20 acre parcel. Mr. Bohjanen stated he would contact the owner, Robt. Wilson, on this. Mr. Jaworski, wondered if Mr. Wilson didn't need a.permit from the State to fill the swamp. It was noted that he must have contacted the State to get a permit for a road easement. Mr. Cardinal reported that the P&Z had discussed the square footage on living units in the new code, but had layed the matter over to study later. Mr. Jaworski reported that he had checked on the rental of a warming house. For a 101x18' building with a stove, insulated with styrofoam, with lights, it would cost $720 for the season. They will sell it for $1900, which can be nego- tiated, possibly for $1575. It was plywood construction. Mr. Jaworski stated that it would coat $250 for the plywood alone to build. Mr. Bohjanen thought that it was too,much money to spend. After discussion, Mr. Jaworski was advised to get bids on a warming house to present at the next meeting. Mr. Jaworski mentioned that Ham Lake had adopted a snowmobile ordinance in which violaters get fined or must attend safety classes. He will check with the club on this. The hearing on the Chamonix South plat was called to order at 9 :28 p.m. Mr. Locher read the notices which had been presented at the previous hearings, and read the Dec. 15th letter from Mr. Van Housen which was read at the last P&Z hearing recommending several items for compliance. A subsequent letter from Mr. Van Housen stated the revised plans were in accordance with the Planning Commission's request with the exception of the landscape plan which must be completed per his red lines on the drawing. He advised the owners that the landscape plan is mandatory and certificates of occupancy will not be issued untilthis work is completed. He recommended that with the following of this request that the Council approve the plans and permit the developer to build Model No. 8. He commended Chamonix and Suburban Engineering for the complete- ness of their plans. The Clerk read the portion of the December P&Z minutes pertaining to the Chom- onix South plat. It had been noted that a through street had been eliminated, and that 100 square feet had been.added to the units to meet and exceed our requirements under the new zoning code. Mr. Gotwald had written that he had reviewed the plans as to streets, drainage, sanitary sewer and the water system, all of which were found to be adequate; he recommended approval. There were no objections. Mr. L'Allier noted that this was only the preliminary plat and that any recommended changes would have to be met before final approval. There was discussion on the streets and size of the units. Mr. Locher stated that the revised unit sizes were 1302 sq. ft. on 3-bedroom units and 1178 sq. ft.
