Mr. Cardinal stated that Brede, Inc., of Minneapolis, had requested a special use permit to erect a sign on 135W on the SE corner of Lot 19, Block 3, Lakeview Wood- lands Addn. Mr. Locher pointed out the location on the map. Mr. Cardinal moved to grant on the P&Z recommendation, a special use permit to Brede, Inc. to erect a sign at that location. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Rosengren mentioned that one more sign was to be donated by Meyer Sign Service for informa- tional use somewhere in the vicinity of 135W and Main Street. He requested that a piece of public property (a former dedicated roadway) be reserved for that purpose. Mr. Dielentheis, Mr. Jensen and Mr. Busch stepped forward to present copies of the preliminary plat for Lakes Addition No. 2. Mr. Dielentheis stated that the plat met or exceeded all requirements of the ordinances and pointed out various areas on the plat and what their future use would be. Mr. L'Allier pointed out that there was no formal report on the plat from Mr. Gotwald since the P&Z had not requested one of him. P&Z had given no recommendation on the plat. Mr. Busch stated that he felt that the P&Z had no objections to the plat, that they were not unfavorable. There was a considerable amount of discussion on the various outlots and uses. Mr. Busch especially wished that the Council would rezone to commercial one outlot in the plat so that in the future stores and retail shops could be put in there. The plat includes lots for 124 residential units. A check for the platting fees was presented. Mr. Locher felt that there would be no problem in holding hearings for rezoning of the parcel on the same nights as the hearing for the plat. Mr. Cardinal moved that the plat for Lakes Addition No. 2 be received and filled with copies to be sent to the Engineer, Attorney and Planner so that these persons will have reports on the plat for the first meeting in January.
