80 criticized the Council and the Planning & Zoning for the way things were handled and became quite upset. Mr. LtAllier stated that the Planning & Zoning were only an advisory board and received the same advise and information that the Council did and that it could be expected that the two groups might come up with the same con- clusions. The developers must abide by our ordinances. There was considerable discussion from Mrs. Ahlman. Mr;. Locher stated that as he understood Mr. Menkveld's petition, he could not see that there could be a hearing for the site which had been turned down for Mr. Stein unless the Council gave their consent for one since there is no petition for the court by 2/3 of the surrounding property owners. Mr. Menkveld has such a petition for one of the other sites and this would be the only one to consider. W. L'Allier mentioned that the Planning & Zoning were apprehensive about where such parks should be located and the problem of sewage disposal. He felt that it would be a shame to hold out hope to a petitioner for a mobile home park with the Metro sewage bill coming into effect now. Mr. L'Allier asked Mr. Gotwald if he had'talked with the PCA on this. Mr. Gotwald stated that he didn't feel that the PCA would give their consent unless it had a municipal sewage system. Mrs. Ahlman stated that Mr. Menkveld understood that he would have to wait for some time to get sewer. Mr. Menkveld thought that the site by the Youth Center would be the best since it wasn't a good spot for residential growth and sewer should come there soon. There was discussion on pending legislative action regarding changing the tax base for mobile home parks as well as land prices. Mr. LtAllier moved that Lino Lakes suspend all mobile home park hearings for one year or less, until the Council has made a decision, as he had outlined in the January 12th minutes. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. There was more discussion on the parcel having a 2/3 petition. Mr. Locher noted that the ordinance reads that the Council will set a hearing but does not say "shall ". It is up to the Council if they wish to set same. After discussion it was the con- sensus of the Council that we proceed with the matter as already decided: that Mr. Menkveld attend the next Planning & Zoning meeting and come to the next Council meeting. Mr. Bohjanen read the names of the persons who will comprise the Community and Business Development Commission for 1970 and stated that perhaps 3 others may join later. The list is as follows: Naomi Zelinka, Julia Feymoville, Audrey Tauer, Vivian Rehbein, Phyllis Blaylock, Harold Hansen, Crystal Ahlman, Charles Gottwaldt, Irvin Zastrow, William Houle, Carlo Sooger, and Lee Robinson. He mentioned what they proposed to do, indicating that they couldn't move very fast to get things on paper. The last meeting had been cancelled due to inclement weather. They had received one bid on printing the brochures: the cost will average $1.00 each in booklet form. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he had requested Mr. Locher that afternoon, on behalf of the VFW Club, to see if, they might sell 3.2 beer on sale to bingo customers. Mr. Locher stated that he would have to check with the Liquor Control Commissioner on this but that we could approve it subject to this approval. He mentioned that a case was pending defining whether 3.2 beer could be considered liquor. Mr. Bohjanen moved to issue a 3.2 beer on sale license to the VFW,Post 6553 subject to the approval by the Attorney. Seconded by Mr. L'Allier. Carried unanimously. Mr. Locher will contact the Clerk on this. Mr. Rosengren reported that they had overhauled the engine in the big truck. They have not yet finished drawing up the specs on the tandem truck. There was dis-
