240 April 25, 1977 orize the Engineer to prepare the estimates for the cost of constructing this street for City acceptance. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Paul Videen will contact Mr. Gotwald. Mr. William Houle, Fire, Marshall, told the Council of the problems he has in obtaining burning permits. At the present time, the PCA is only issuing burning permits for dis- eased trees. He has had many people with just brush to be burned. There is a meeting sch- eduled for May 3, 1977 to discuss this problem. The Clerk was instructed to write to the PCA and ask for special permission to allow the burning of this brush. Mr. Houle also referred to the Resolution of the Anoka Board of Commissioners asking for evidence to be taken on the constitutionality of the regional government. He requested this Council to go on record supporting this action. Mr. Houle read a Resolution he had prepared asking for the abolishment of the Metropol- itan Council or Regional Government. The Council felt rite County Commissioners Resolution asked for evidence to support the constutionality of this government and this they could support. Mr. Zelinka moved to pass a Resolution supporting the Action of the Anoka County Commiss- ioners. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Karth reported Mr. Volk had submitted a list of items that could be sold at the auct- ion. However, he has not had any information from the other communities who expressed an interest. Mr. Karth was asked what date had been planned for this auction and he said a definite date had not been set, but thought around the end of May. Mr. Karth reported the roads are in good shape and if the Council has time after the meet- ing he would like to show them the street sweeper the City has just purchased. Mr. McLean reported on the actions of the Planning and Zoning Board meeting held on April 20, 1977. However, before he presented the actions from that meeting, there is an item from the March meeting that should be cleared. Mr. Tim Rehbine had asked for two variances for the transfer of title on two parcels of land of less than two and one -half acres. These parcels are in the Twilite Acres plat and Mr. Rehbine had burchased a triangle of land to the South, added it to an odd shaped lot and was asking to split the new parcel into two lots. The Planning and Zoning Board had recommended approval of this request. Mr. McLean so moved. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. McLean proceeded with the April meeting. Mr. William Molin had appeared before the Board at their request to discuss the complaint against the storage of materials and the re- grading of the ditch along 4th Avenue. Mr. Molin was asked to have the ditch regraded to it's original depth and the vegatation replaced. Ahho, two rows of pine trees or their equivalent be planted along 4th Avenue for screening purposes. (Mr. McLean said the prop- erty had been checked and Mr. Molin had moved his materials in the storage yard back to within his property.) Mr. McLean moved to have the ditch restored and require the plant- ing of the trees. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Robert Reinertson had applied for a special use permit to liow ceramic tile at his home. He has plans for the construction of a new home near the corner of 4th Avenue and Main Street.

The Planning and Zoning Board had recommended approval of this special use permit.
