5/22/72 Mr. Marier reported that the P &Z wished to change the wording of the sewer regulations adopted on April 24th regarding percolation tests and submitting site plans to them. The sentence will now read "Percolation test required to be submitted to the Village Engineer'. The second sentence of that paragraph is to be omitted in its entirety. Mr. Marier noted that it was a mistake on his part that the second sentence had been included in the regulations. Mr. Marier stated that the P &Z had held a discussion on who was to do these perc tests. Mr. Gotwald had felt that it put the Village engineering firm in a bad position to state that they must perform the perc tests. Also, they have a two -week backlog on this sort of work, so that persons can't make the deadlines. Mr. Marier felt that the regulations should read that the tests can be done by the Village Engineer or any certified engineer. Ken Rehbein had arrived and the discussion returned to his variance request. Mrs. Swanson asked how are we going to control the drainage problems that may come up with additional building on the site, and will the person buying this have to comply or come before the P &Z. Ken Rehbein wondered what drainage problems she was talking about, noting that there was no problem . on the parcel he wanted the variance on. He stated that nothing can be done on the other parcel until it comes before the P &Z and Council again. Mrs. Swanson asked Mr. Rehbein if he intended to sell the larger parcel as he had a sign up; Mr. Rehbein noted that the for sale sign didn't mean anything, that in his business they sell if the price is right. He stated that there should be more than 1 building on 3 acres, and they don't want to mortage the whole piece for that onle building. He noted we should cross 1 bridge at a time, there may be sewer in Lake Drive before something else is put up; he had nothing in mind now for the other parcel. There was more discussion. Mr. Marier moved that we concur with the Planning & Zoning Board's recommendation to grant a variance to Ordianance No. 21A to Mr. Kenneth REhbein, for mortgage purposes, to split a commercial piece of land at Main Street and Old Highway 8 into two parcels having the following legal descriptions: A.
