242 April 25, 1977 Three sign permit applications 1) Red Door Antiques; 2) Lino Cabinet: and 3) Hemauer Off - Sale, had been considered and approval recommended. Mr. McLean so moved. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously. A question of the existence of a pigeon house in Shenandoah was discussed. This had been checked for the issuance of a building permit and there was none. Under Ord- inance #26, a resident must have 5 acres or more for the keeping of fowl. The Clerk was instructed to write to the owner citing the violations of I)non- conforming use; 2) no building permit; and 3) not enough land, and ask that he appear at the May 9, 1977 Council meeting. Mr. Zelinka requested the Assessor or his assistance place a value on the structure. Mr. McLean said reports on the various establishments had been received from the Police but there had not been enough time to consider them. This will be done at the May meeting. The Clerk had also prepared a check list for platting and this will also be considered at that meeting. The Clerk reminded the Council of the continued public hearing on the Lexington Park Lakeview sewer petition scheduled for May 4, 1977 and asked if notices should be sent to the residents. The Council said notices should be sent. Mr. McLean said the problem existing with the sale of the two unit townhouse in Lakes Addition should be cleaned up. This unit has only a driveway access and no front footage. The matter needs to be corrected. Mr. Locher said he had tried to contact Mr. Kronholm and had been unsuccessful. He will try to get back to Mr. Kronholm. Mr. Locher thought maybe a variance could clear this for the interim. When that outlot is platted, this unit would then be- come part of that plat. Mr. McLean presented some suggestions, Mr. Locher will take these to Mr. Kronholm. Mr. Schneider reported on the meeting at the MMTC. Construction will be starting on the addition and remodeling. Mr. Zantek will attend a Council meeting soon to inform this Council of the changes taking place. He had checked with the person who is considering the census and the matter is still alive. The girls from the University of Minnesota will be at a Council meeting in May to explain their plans for the Park to be located adjacent to the Hall. Mr. Schneider was asked if they have a cost estimate for the suggested improvements and Mr. Sch- neider said he would try to get an estimate. Mr. Zelinka reported on the Personnel Commission meeting held on April 19, 1977 for the purpose of considering the salary increase for Chief Myhre. Mr. Johnson had done an extensive analysis and the recommendation of the Personnel Commission was $120.00 per month raise to become effective February 15, 1977. Mr. Zelinka so moved. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Volk had presented a request for the Personnel Commission to consider a man for park maintenance. This would be for 3 to 4 months employment and Mr. Volk had asked for an older man on whom he could depend. The Personnel Commission had felt this could be handled by Mr. Zelinka and Mr. Volk. The Council suggested checking into the CETA program and Mr. McLean felt Mr. Torkildson could be contacted on this.
