On considering the minutes of March 28 and 31, 1977, Mr. McLean asked for information on the issuing of a building permit to Arnt Construction on property purchased from Acton Construction - is it necessary for the deeds to the street to be accepted before the permit can be issued? Mr. Locher salid, No, if the intent of the Council is to acc- ept this as a City Street, a building permit can be issued before the formal acceptance. The required frontage for this operation was questioned, Mr. Locher said the Ordinance calls for 150' frontage for Light Industry, the classification of this type of operation. Mr. Karth moved to approve the minutes as presented. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried with Mr. McLean and Mr. Zelinka abstaining. The Clerk presented the following items for Council consideration: ..Mayor Bohjanen had received a letter announcing a recognition for volunteer workers. The Clerk was instructed to contact the State for more information on this. ..Material on the Federal Revenue Sharing and the Title 11 program had been received. All Council members have copies. ..A contract for Planning Services from William Short Associates was considered. After some discussion, Mr. McLean moved to approve the contract and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the contract. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. ..The new patrol car has been accepted by Chief Myhre and Mr. Volk. The Clerk asked for permission to return the bid check to Art Goebel Ford. Mr. Zelinka so moved. Se- conded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. ..A form requesting information as to the newly constructed homes for the year 1976 had been received from the Metropolitan Council. There was discussion of the questions in the form, with Mr. McLean asking the Attorney if this information could be used ag- ainst the City in any way. The Attorney felt that it could not. The Clerk was instr- ucted to fill out to the best of her knowledge and return. Mr. Cheesebrough and Mr. Johnston appeared before the Council asking for information on the extension of East Shadow Lake Drive to lots they have purchased or are in the process of purchasing. The utilities are in the street and these men have plans for construction on these lots. Mr. Gotwald suggested they go to Drovers State Bank with this problem since the street is the responsibility of the seller. Mr. Johnston asked if they could arrange to have the street extended? Mr. Gotwald said that would be an expensive undertaking the lots across the street would benefit. These men were told that building permits would not be issued unless the street is in or provisions are made for the installation - such as a road bond or a letter of credit or money in escrow. Mr. Locher said he would contact Drovers State Bank on this matter and try to have an answer for the next Council meeting. 1 1 1 The Public Hearing for the Otter Lake Estates was scheduled for this meeting but, since the Attorney had failed to receive the legal description, the notice had not been published.
