4/24/72 director for the school. There is $5000 in State money available for this purpose, but the application for it must be made by May Ist. Mr. Anderson asked that we provide figures on what we are spending on recreation in the 831 area, and noted that hiring a director could save every one some money. They will meet sometime later this week. Mr. Cardinal thought he could make it on Thursday or Friday; Mr. Bohjanen wished to attend also. Mr. Cardinal noted that we don't have a breakdown on what is spent in each School District Area, but we can give a total figure on the cost of operating the parks. Mr. Marier reported on the P &Z meeting held on April 19th. Mr. Burman and Mr. Torkildson had talked on the legalities of County ditches, noting that they had legal respon- sibility for the ditches, but would not take responsibility for maintaining them. Mr. Torkildson presented the County's park proposal for some 2400 acres and the various facilities they may provide. Mr. Marier noted that this was only a proposal and that there was a lot of work and research to be done before we take the proposal into consideration. Mr. Bohjanen suggested having an open meeting on the park proposal. Mrs. Swanson thought it should be a joint environmental meeting to discuss ecology, etc. Mr. Marier suggested that the working committees get their input, draw up a proposal, meet together, and then bring the feedback to the Council; then we can have an open meeting. Mrs. Swanson thought each committee should report on this, that all connected with this should work together to determine the Villages intent on what the future will be concerning the parks. Mr. Marier reported that Mrs. Mary Glischinsky had requested the P &Z to approve a trailer sales lot at 6333 Hodgson Road. P &Z recommended that the Glischinskys need to submit a proposal in accordance with the zoning code; they would probably need a special use permit. Mr. Marier reported that Ken Rehbein had requested a variance to Ordinance 21A. The letter he submitted was not clear to the members as to where he was locating the building or if he were going to build another building. The Clerk was asked to get the restrictions from Mr. Locher. Mr. Blackbird noted that the variance request was brought in with the building request, but had gotten lost in the proceedings. He noted that they want to leave the two corner acres open for sale, they thought the letter would be a reminder of the request. Mr. Marier suggested that when they come for the variance they have some plans as to what they will do with that parcel, as the P &Z would probably want this. Mr. Marier reported that Alex Lichtscheidl had appeared on the question of splitting a parcel of land without a variance. P &Z had found that there was no split as the sale had fallen through. Mr. Marier thought officials might be better informed when reporting splits in the future. Mr. Marier reported that the Arlo Morehouses had requested that they be allowed to extend 79th Street seom 4 -500 feet further West so that they can divide their 40 acres into 10 -acre parcels to sell. Also, the person owning the land North of their was interested in selling his also. The Morehouses wondered what kind of road they would have to put in and were advised that the code specifies blacktop. Mr. Marier asked for the Council's views. There was considerable discussion on the subject of building roads and on the particulars of 79th St. Mr. Marier noted that the Morehouse land is relatively high with a few low dips, and that the Morehouses are willing to put in the road, but the question is if it should be blacktopped. 1 1
