1 1 Mr. Bohjanen wished to include having a legal survey of the Phase 1 area done in the motion, and that Menkveld will defend any cases arising out of the restriction' on children. Mr. Menkveld and Mr. Summers both stated that they would hold the Village harmless in such cases. Mr. Bohjanen also wished included in the motion that these conditions would apply to the heirs and assign, thus binding the future'. It was noted that if we were sued, we would be reimbursed by Menkveld'for court defense costs; also that the rezoning included in the motion is only for Phase 1 of the proposal. ' It was noted, in answer to Mr. Summers' question, that the above conditions would be stated on the special use permit. There was considerable discussion on the adequacy of the street width to handle emergency vehicles in the cul de sac if cars were parked on the street. Mr. Menkveld stated that there would be jaca on street parking; also that the trailers could be spread apart a little if so wished. After a few comments, Mr. Rosengren seconded the motion. Mr. L'Allier noted that the vote would be on the rezoning and special use permit for Mr. Gilbert Menkveld, and would include the variances and other requirements-. Mrs. Bohjanen asked what the age limit on the trailers would be. After some discussion, it was decided to place the maximum age limit on trailers to be moved in at-7 to 10 years. It was mentioned that it was impossible to move the trailers out when they reached that age, however; also, that there was an accelerated tax write —off over the first 5 year period of a trailer, then the tax remained the same after that. The vote on the motion was as follows: Mr. Jaworski, no; Mr. Rosengren, aye; Mr. Bohjanen, aye; Mr. L'Allier, no. Mr. Jaworski moved to deny the request by Mr. Gilbert Menkveld for rezoning and a special use permit for a mobile home'park upon the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commission, the Planner and the Engineer as well as on the recommendation of Superintendent Hankerson of School District #12 and based on correspondence from the school superintendent, lack of sewer and water, and pending proposed legislation regulating the overall tax structure for mobile homes. Mr. Summers asked Mr. Jaworski if he specifically stated the reason for denying the court was for taxes; Or. Jaworski stated, "No, not specifically." Mayor L'Allier seconded the motion. Vote: Mr. Jaworski, aye; Mr. Rosengren, no; Mr. Bohjanen, no; Mr. L'Allier, yes. Mr. L'Allier stated that on 2 motions, both in favor of and against the proposal, a tie vote was received in both; it was in order to continue the hearing until such time that the fifth member would be present. Mr. Bohjanen moved to continue the hearing until we have a full Council, namely on August 10th. After discussing the fact that Mr. Cardinal would have to leave the next meeting early also, Mr. Smith was asked if it was all right to switch the two hearing times, namely: the Menkveld hearing on the 10th at $:30 p.m. and the Smith —Ecoff hearing.at 9:30 p.m. This was fine. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously.
