21 February 28, 1977 roads. Mr. McLean asked Mr. Locher if this would be setting a precedent and Mr. Locher said he would rather see it go this way then by meets and bounds. If land is transferred by meets and bounds, there is always the possibility of overlapping the descriptions. If the plat fails, then the title would have to go by meets and bounds, with the 150' frontage and 22 acres. Mr. Kolstad was asked if these lots are contiguous and he said, No, they are scatt- ered - the lots they are requesting building permits for are lots #33, 70, 76, 65, 57 and 62. There would be no occupancy until the plat is final or refused. Mr. Gotwald felt this was permissable as long as they are for models and nothing else. Mr. McLean asked how long it would take to construct the models and Mr. Kolstad said, about two months. This would coincide with the anticipated plat final approval. Mr. Zelinka had reservations on the approval of these building permits. He felt that somehow or other when the City Council allows this sort of thing, the City ends up holding the bag. Mr. McLean moved to approve the issuance of building permits for lots #33, 65, 76, 70, 57 and 62 in Sunset Oaks Plat with the stipulation that no occupancy of these homes will be permitted until the final plat is approved by the City Council. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Locher reminded Mr. Kolstad, that if the plat is not approved, the lots must have 150' frontage and contain 22 acres. Mr. Kolstad said all these lots meet those requirements. Mr. Jaworski, from the audience, said the Council had approved two plats in the same area - has the Planning and Zoning Board considered the Comprehensive Land Use Plan in conjunction with these. approvals. Mr. McLean said the plats are con- sistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Mr. McLean said there had been many changes in conjunction with the overall Comprehensive Land Use Plan since it had been approved. Some of the land originally suggested as commercial is now being suggested for agricultural in order to meet the density standards as set by the Metropolitan Council. The Clerk presented the following items for Council consideration; ..The Crossways Gun Club had dropped off a copy of an application they are submitt- ing to the Rice Creek Watershed District and the DNR for permission to clean the channel on the East side of Rondeau Lake. Mr. Gotwald looked over the application and said the Council cannot consider this because 1) a set of plans must be sub- mitted; 2) there is no material for review. He would suggest no action of this until this material is available. Mr. McLean moved to have the Clerk write to the DNR and the Rice Creek Watershed District asking for these drawings. Seconded by Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. ..Read a letter from the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission asking for the curr- ent and proposed number of homes served by sanitary sewer systems in this City. The Clerk was instructed to answer that in the next one to five years, the 700 hook ups allocated to this City would be used. ..A letter from the Anoka Comprehensive Health Department had been received notify-
