8 be required since there was less than 150' of frontage and less than 2 1/2 acres in area. Mr. Cardinal moved to grant a variance to Mr. Clyde Rehbein to split the lot described as follows: That part of the Northeast 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 of Section 8, Township 31, Range 22, Anoka County, Minnesota, described as follows: Commencing at a point where the center line of United State Highway No. 8 intersects the centerline of Carlton Road, so called, which road runs along the North boundary line of the said Northeast 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 of Section 8; thence East along the centerline of said Carlton Road, so called, a distance of 143 feet to a point on said centerline of the Carlton Road, so called; thence South at right angles to said centerline a distance of 400 feet to the actual point of beginning of the tract of land to be hereby described; thence West and parallel with the centerline of Carlton Road, so called, a distance of 384.67 feet to its inter- section with the centerline of United States Highway No. 8 as now laid out and traveled; thence Southwesterly along the centerline of said United States Highway No. 8 as now laid out and traveled a distance of 180 feet; thence East and parallel with the centerline of Carlton Road, so called, a distance of 384.67 feet; thence Northeasterly and parallel with the centerline of United States Highway No. 8 as now laid out and traveled a distance of 180 feet to the actual point of beginn- ing, except the Northwesterly 40 feet thereof as measured at right angles to the centerline of said United States Highway No. 8 providing that the fee be paid before issuance. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Cardinal noted that an article in the paper stated that we were 45 days late in paying our fee on the Centerville fire contract. Mr. L'Allier stated that we had not received the signed contract back from Centerville and had heard no report on it. The Clerk will call to check. The Council then took up the matter of the request by W. Gilbert Menkveld to set hearings on rezoning and special use permits for trailer parks on 3 separate parcels. W. Joseph Summers, Attorney for W. Menkveld, gave some description of the 3 parcels and the petition with signatures in favor of a trailer park on the parcel by the Youth Center. Maps with the parcels outlined heavily were passed out to all at the table. Mr. Summers felt they were entitled to rezoning and special use permit hearings on the parcel straddling Hwy. 8. W. Cardinal noted that the Planning & Zoning had recommended that all three parcels be denied hearings for the reasons of lack of sewers and the overtaxing of the school systems with the influx of many children. W. Bohjanen asked Mr. Menkveld if he would consider holding hearings for only one parcel or only for all three. W. Menkveld answered that he considered each parcel individually. Mr. Bohjanen then asked W. Menkveld if he had considered any other type of enterprise for these areas. W. Summers stated that the only potential use on the parcel by the Youth Center would be for a mobile home park. Mr. Jaworski asked if he didn't feel that by placing the court so close to the Youth Center he wasn't subjecting the residents to thefts and harassment from the escapees, especially car thefts. W. Summers felt this was up to the tenants and he didn't feel it was any big deterrent. Mr. Cardinal noted that the State didn't feel that this area was good for a mobile home court either. Mr. Summers countered that the State could buy tie land then. Mr. Locher stated that the legal description on parcel 2 didn't metch the drawing. Mr. Menkveld stated that this was his error; that the Hillsdale legal should have been included. Mr. Summers stated that the legal should be amended to conform. Mr. Locher also noted that the legal for parcel 1 was inadequate; that some parcels not to be included were not mentioned. He would need definition on a 3 -acre parcel with a life deed. W. Bill Meyer of Suburban Engineering stated that the density of the trailer court would be less than 5 trailers per acre and that they would make a first -class court.
