i 1 1 79 Mr. Jaworski then asked the Council what they thought of buying a one -acre lot (possibly getting a donation) to equip for a small park, in the area of Orange and Maple Streets. The cost of equipping one of these with a swing, slide, and two Saddlemates plus a merzy.go -round would run about $800.00. Mr. Bohjanen men- tioned that if the 30 acres on Main Street are purchased there would be recreational area there, but he thought it should be looked into. Mr. L'Allier thought that we could look into the matter in conjunction with Centerville and perhaps select three or four sites. The minutes of the September 18 Planning and Zoning meeting were read. Mr. Cardinal asked Mr. Locher about a request of Mr. Cecil LaMotte concerning a roadway across St. Paul Waterworks property south of Centerville Lake. Mr. LaMotte wished a var- iance to build a house on Lot 1, Block 1, of LaMott's Second Additon which is situated on the end of a roadway, a portion of which was accepted by Lino Lakes. He plans to put in blacktop streets to be assessed to the landowners. Mr. Locher stated that the !quest seemed in order. Copies of the warranty deed and an agreement with the purchaser were read. Mr. Cardinal then moved to grant a variancelto Mr. Cecil LaMotte for Lot 1, Block; 1, of LaMotte's Second Addition, providing that Mr. LaMotte supplies a copy of the purchaser's agreement and copy of the plat map to be attached to the minutes. Sec - onded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Cardinal stated that an option had been signed with Mr. William Waldoch for a fee of $100.00 which will hold the property until December 31, 1969. Terms of the purchase would be $1000.00 down and payment of $1200.00 per year at five per cent interest. Mr. L'Allier instructed the Clerk to send a letter to Mr. Waldoch thank- ing him for his generous terms for the Village. He also thanked Mr. Locher and Mr. Cardinal for their good work in securing the option so quickly. After some discussion of Mr. Dick Olson's trailer and basement Mr. Cardinal moved to authorize Mr. Locher to write to Dick Olson informing him that he cannot live in the basement without a permit and to invite him to come before the Council for a permit, stating his intentions and giving a time limit until the house can be com- pleted.
