Mr. Jaworski approved of the appearance of the house, saying that it looked better than those Rehbein built. He felt there was no problem as long as they didn't back up water in the drainage. Jerome Boyd asked if there were certified plans from the manufacturer as to meeting the State code and was told yes. Mr. Gotwald mentioned the previous letter on drainage sent to Mr. Villella and sug- gested that the Road Supervisor check this; he would be glad to help if neces- sary. Following considerable discussion, Mr. Marier moved to accept the building as constructed with the approval of the Building Inspector, Plumbing Inspector and the Electrical Inspector; and that in the future there should be some authori- zation before erecting this type of building so that the plans are okayed. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. The office plans for Ken Rehbein were discussed. Gerry Mategko stated that they would like to get a building permit; they had no other plans for the site at this time. He stated that the location is at least 50 feet away from the Matt- son home on Vicky Lane. The office location is on the West side of Lake Drive, nearly across from the Oasis Lounge. Mr. Locher stated that 30 feet was requir- ed for a rear yard setback and the front setback on a thoroughfare is 40 feet. Mr. Mategko stated that they could move the building further North to comply. Mr. Locher read the requirements for consideration which must be provided under Section 5.03 of the zoning code. Mr. Blackbird stated that Rehbein planned to sell the rema..ning 2 acres of the 3 -acre parcel, and was told that a variance would then be necessary. Mr. Gotwald recommended that the drain field be kept at least 10 feet from the property line. Mrs. Swanson asked how many feet the building would be away from the adjoining private property line; she was told 12 feet. Mr. Jaworski moved to send the matter of the Ken Rehbein office building to the P&Z Board in February and that Mr. Rehbein comply with all the requirements under section 5.03 of the zoning code. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Carried unanimously. There was more discussion with the Rehbein people protesting having to wait until February. Mr. Marier moved that the Engineer and the Clerk draft a letter to Ken Rehbein, stating what is lacking in his plans as presented. Sec- onded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Locher was ready with advice on the Clerk - Treasurer's position. He read portions of Ordinances 43A & B, and stated that her job would come under these ordinances and it would continue as hired last December. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he was just naming the person on the list, that Mrs. June Emerton was Clerk- Treasurer and Elsie Linnell and Joan Heath were Deputy Clerks. Mr. Jaw - orski explained that he just wanted it clear that the Clerk- Treasurer was no longer an appointive job, but a full -time employee and not subject to appointment. Mr. Gotwald stated his only report was on the set of plans submitted to him be- fore the meeting in regard to work which the State Highway Dept. plans to let on Feb. 25th on Highway 49. This involves mostly turn lands, guard rails on the bridge over Rice Creek, eliminating the extension of North Road at the inter- section of Hwy 49 and Old 8 by putting in a curved road further north. Also, they are putting in a bituminous island to separate the traffic from the parking at the Blue Heron. He recommended that the Council approve this, but noticed an omission, namely that there were no turn lanes onto Birch Street. He felt that traffic to the East will increase in this area and turn lanes should be put in. He recommended sending a letter to the State saying that we would like to approve these plans by our next meeting in time for letting bids if they feel fit to add these turn lanes. Mr. Marier moved to accept the Engineer's recommendation and write a letter to the State informing them of our intention and our request. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously.
