Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carr- ied unanimously. The East Birch Addition of Mr. Glenn Rehbein's had been considered with several suggestions for changes. This will be re- submitted. The preliminary Plat for Shenandoah East had been considered and the Planning and Zoning had recommended approval of this preliminary and recommended the Council set a public hearing on this plat. Mr. Karth moved to approve the preliminary plat, subject to the Engineer's and Planner's reports and Metropolitan Waste Control Commission's approval to extend the sewers into that plat, and to set the public hearing for April 25, 1977 at 8:30 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Elmer Maisio of Orange Street had applied for a special use permit to keep a horse on their property. They have less than the required five acres, but are leas- ing eight acres of adjoining property for pasturing the animal. The Planning and Zoning had recommended approval of this permit if this arrangement was approved by the City Attorney. Mr. Locher said there is no problem with this arrangement. Mr. Karth moved to approve the special use permit. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Jerry Blackbird, representing North NorthEast Realty was present. He told the Council that his firm has had a problem in obtaining a road bond for the Pine Haven Plat. He asked if he could post a letter of credit until the road bond has been written? There are four purchase agreements in that plat and they would like to get started on the construction. Mr. Locher felt a letter of credit was fine but it should be automatically continued until the road bond is issued in order to provide continuing coverage with no gaps. Mr. Blackbird suggested issuing the building permits, with no occupancy permitted until the road bond is issued. Mayor Bohjanen moved to issue building permits for the Pine Haven Plat but there is to be no occupancy of the building until the road bond is issued. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously. The variance request by United Tire will be considered at the April meeting. Mr. Molin will also attend that meeting. Mr. Kaiser had appeared before the Planning and Zoning Board with the proposal of purchasing the Convent at St. Joseph's Church to be used as a half way house for young adults who are withdrawing from chemical dependency. Since this building does not have frontage on an existing street, he was told this would have to be worked out. Mr. Kaiser said he would consult the Church C ouncil and return. Sign Permit Number 145 for United Tire had been approved by the Building Inspector and recommended for approval upon receipt of the fee. The fee had been paid. Mr. Karth moved to approve the sign permit. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously.
