1 1 July 25, 1977 concerning the proposed Park Land. ti o Mr. McLean moved to set a Public Hearing on this Plat for September 12, 1977 at 8:45 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Art Rehbein had presented a request for a building permit on a parcel of land owned by Mrs. Edith Kammerer that only has access over a 30' easement. The property has no frontage on an existing street. The Planning and Zoning Board had asked Mr. Rehbein to document the date of recording of this parcel of land. If this land was recorded before the Ordinance was in effect, then he should apply for a variance. Mr. Locher checked the dates of the Ordinance and they became effective in 1957. This matter will be referred back to the Planning and Zoning Board. The Planning and Zoning Board had then considered the System Statement. The fact that a special hearing had been called by the EQB and scheduled for July 28, 1977 make it imperative this matter be considered at this time. This meeting will deal with the West Oaks of Bald Eagle plat that is being challenged by the Metro Council. They have included this land in the Otter Lake Regional Park. Mr. McLean felt the agreement worked out between the City and the Anoka County Board of Commissioners would relate to all points of the Chain of Lakes Park. There were several statements in the Otter Lake and Bald Eagle portion that are erroneous. Mr. McLean pointed those out. It was felt the agreement with Anoka County would also apply in this area. Mr. Gotwald and Mr. Short were present at this meeting and they met with the Clerk on Friday and put together the suggestions that each Council member has a copy of it. The suggestions were gone over and suggested changes were noted. A revised copy of this will be ready for the special meeting scheduled for Tuesday, July 26, 1977. Mr. Gourley had been contacted by a resident who lives on Glenview just off Sunset Avenue. He wants to build a garage on the east side of his lot. This would be the center line of those lots in the Lakeview area that at one time had been considered for a possible street. The City does not have an ordinance covering this at this time so it was felt no special permit or variance was needed. There are still complaints about the condition of the Sparkle -Wash operations. The Clerk was instructed to pull the background material on this. Mr. Schneider reported on the meeting of the Park Board on July 18, 1977. There was discussion of the Outlot on LaMotte Road. After some discussion, Mr. Schneider moved to direct Mr. Gotwald to investigate the possibility of exchanging the lot owned by the City along the street for land without frontage. Seconded by MR. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schneider had visited with Mrs. LaFond on the problems with the ballfield located at the end of Glenview. Mrs. LaFond was unaware of a street easement along the north edge of her property. He had left a copy of the plat map with her. There had been representatives from the Centennial Hockey Association at the meeting. They had requested better lighting at the rinks at Sunrise. The rinks need to be graded and the boards need repair. The snow blower is not practical for the rinks but a good sweeper is needed. There was some discussion on whether it would be feasible for the City to continue to
