t s I 6 .. 1/27/72 quested on Parcel B, having the following legal description: The East 150 feet of the West 659.46 feet of the North 345.8 feet of the SE 1 /4.of the SW 1/4 of Section 29, Town 31 N, Range 22 W,' Anoka County, Minn. subject to Birch St. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Marier reported that Mr. Al Fisher of the Dist. Conservation Dept. of Anoka County had presented a soil capabilities map which can be used for determining the type of building and drainage capabilities a particular parcel has. This was made up a aerial view and taking of coil samples. Today the Metro is us- ing maps in the vintage of 1916, whereas this was done in 1967. The map cost is $125 plus $25 to have the colors added. Mr. Marier felt this would be a great asset to the Engineer and the P&Z Board. The map will show 7 distinct types of .soil compared with the 4 types shown on the old ones. There was dis- cussion. Mr. Marier moved to buy this map in colored form for the cost of $150. Seconded by W. Jaworski. There was discussion. The Clerk mentioned that Mr. Fisher had indicated to her that the photos overlap Centerville and that it might be possible to split the cost with them as they were also considering buying a map. This had not been mentioned at the P&Z meeting. Roll call vote on the motion was unanimous. Mr. Marier reported that the P&Z requested the Council to have the Police Chief see if Bob Wilson on Lake Dr. had a building permit. Mr. Myhre stated that he had been unable to get a home address for Mr. Wilson in order to make the re- quested check. The Clerk offered to try to get the mailing address through the Court Treasurer's office. Mr. Myhre noted that Mr. Locher had been unable to get an address. Mr. Marier wanted an answer before the next P&Z. Mr. Marier stated that Ken Rehbein had made a request for an apartment building a year ago; it is the P&Z's understanding that after one year elapsed, he would have to make another application and resubmit his plans. Mr. Marier felt we should send him a letter giving him 10 days to reply what his intent is on the apartment building. The Clerk will send the letter. Mr. Marier reported that the P&Z had mentioned that the riding stable on Birch St. had advertised in the papers for 24 -hour trail usage, which is in violation of their special use permit; he suggested that proper action be taken. The Clerk mentioned that the special use permit had been revoked, and that the land was zoned limited commercial for boarding and riding of horses. Mr. Cardinal stated that the sign which had been placed on his property at the corner of Birch St. and Centerville Rd. stated a snowmobile trail ranch; he had been told that they were advertising 010+ acres in the paper - -he thought maybe they were including his land since they didn't have that much; at least they were riding on his property. He stated that the older woman at the place had been seen going there daily, but the younger one had left. There was discussion. Mr. Marier stated he watld like to see a letter written to them. Mrs. Swanson moved to have the police investigate the riding stable on Birch St. as to snow- mobile trails and the legality thereof, and to report on such; also, if they are using the horses on the trails. Seconded by Mr. Marier. Carried. Mr. Jaworski felt the police should also check to see if the snowmobiles are licensed as required under State law. It was noted that the main violation would be for charging fees for snowmobile rides or trail use, since this isn't allowed under the limited commercial zoning. Mr. Marier noted that presently the Plumbing Inspector gets about $7.50 per visit, on an average. In checking around he had found this amount to be quite . low, as the fees ranged from $10 to $15 in other places. Mr. Marier felt that
