1 4 Crystal Ahlman arrived and asked to put in a word in favor of the proposal. She stated that she and Mr. Stein had not received notice of the P&Z hearing. Mr. Locher stated that he had sent out the notices and they had not been returned by mail. Mrs. Ahlman stated that if the area being considered was not acceptable then she had another one to consider, also, that considerable time was required for the groundwork on such a project --some five years or so. She stated that an- other developer was considering an 80 -acre piece immediately west of the Youth Center. Mrs. Ahlman stated that she was representing Mr. Stein and that on his behalf she wished to withdraw the request for a trailer court at this site. She stated that 15 persons now living in the Baldwin Lake Park have asked her when a new court would be available to move into. Mrs. Ahlman mentioned that Mr. Stein had been willing to purchase another 40 acres, thus being able to give a 300' buffer zone around the park. He also would have waited another two or three years for the sewer to be put in and would have given his lines to the village. There was more discussion on what to do about future courts in the light of this proposal. Ken Rehbein asked if it was legal toturn down this request if it com- plies with our ordinances. Mr. Locher mentioned that some villages have ordinances prohibiting trailer courts, others require them to be only in certain areas, and stated that the Council could decline because of lack of sewer and the opposition by residents. Mr. Rosengren thought that certain areas should be segregated for trailer sites, that low areas where houses would have to be built above -grade would be suitable for trailers. Mr. Bohjanen felt that maybe this parcel would be better for future residential development, that we should not oppose all trailer parks, we have turned down several, more will come. The bad one we have creates animosity. Mr. Jaworski asked if the developer had a commitment on the other 40 acres Mrs. Ahlman stated, "partially." Mr4Jaworski moved to deny the request for rezoning and the special use permit for a trailer park on this particular piece. Mr. Rosengren requested that the P&Z minutes pertaining to this be read. After reading, Mr. Cardinal seconded the motion. It carried unanimously. Mayor L'Allier stated that the request had been denied. The Clerk was instructed to communicate with the petitioner on this denial. The hearing closed at 9:28 p.m. Mr. Locher noted that the certificate of insurance on the liquor liability policy for Mr. Horbal had not been received; also the date of termination on the bonds should be changed to June 30, 1970. The Clerk stated that their agent had pro- mised that the certificate would be here by Wednesday. Mr. Cardinal moved to grant the following licenses to Mr. Horbal, B.K.O., Inc.: on -and off -sale intoxicating liquor, off -sale 3.2 beer, dancing and cigarette, effective November 1, 1969, but after that the Mayor be authorized to sign the liquor licenses only. The certificate of insurance and the bond corrections were in. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Jaworski moved to allow the cancellation of the licenses held by Mr. John Wright and Mr. Henry Mossey as of November 1, and that the transfer of the liquor licenses be effective at that time. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. Mr. Jaworski reported, noting that he wished to follow Mr. Cardinal's reports henceforth, that the park board had met on planning and that he wished the minutes of the last meeting read. He then commented on plans to plant trees around the park perimeter; these could be moved at a later date; the pine trees don't stand up well in Sunrise Park, perhaps saplings would be better. Mr. Sutliff offered them all the pines they could use.
