0 Mr. Howard Speiser appeared before the Council to request a variance for a lot less than 2 1/2 acres in size on Birch Street. Mr. Cardinal moved, upon the recom- mendation of the Planning and Zoning Board, to grant a variance to Mr. Speiser upon the property described as follows: The South 229.74 feet of the East 104.35 feet of the West 744 feet of the NW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 29, Township 31, Range 22 in Anoka County Minnesota; said distances being measured parallel to the South and West lines of said NW 1/4 of the SE 1/4; subject to an easement for road purposes over the Southerly 33 feet thereof. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. Another representative for the Rural Cooperative Power Association of Elk River was present to answer questions on the line to cross Lino Park. He stated that there was a rate of $175 per lot compensation for the overhanging line and also compen- sation for any poles placed on the property. A 75' easement is necessary so that the company can clear tree branches. He said the company was reasonably sure that they could maintain a 40' minimum height over the 1000' span. The Council requested a letter from RCPA indicating whether the company maintains responsibility for any damage should the line become severed. Mr. L'Allier appointed Mr. Rosengren and two people of his choice to appraise the park property for the compensation due for the line and to report the findings at the next meeting. At 8:54 the hearing for a special use permit and rezoning for Molin Concrete Products Company was called to order. Mr. Gotwald was asked for his thoughts on necessary screening between the company's land and Twitchell Cemetery. He thought the nicest screening would be a combination of lombardy poplar or lilac bushes with spruce or other evergreen; a manual is available. Mr. Locher stated that proper notices had been mailed and published and all prerequisite requirements had been met for the hearings. The representative stated that a total of five acres (260' z 830') was being held for the cemetery; this left 55 acres for Molin. The correct legal description involving the five acre parcel will begiven to Mr. Locher to publish once in the paper. After discussion Mr. Cardinal moved that Ordinance 6L be adopted, and that a special use permit be granted to Molin Concrete Products Company to construct, maintain, and operate, according to law, a concrete products manufacturing operation, in- cluding all necessary structures and improvements incident thereto on the lands situate in the Village of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota, and which are de- scribed in Ordinance 6L with the stipulation that adequate screening (to be worked out with the Engineer) be provided across the west and north sides of the Twitchell Cemetery. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. Mr. Bohjanen moved to adjourn the hearing at 9:06 p.m.; seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Stockstead, who had previously appeared concerning a rezoning at the Southeast corner of 35E and Main Street for construction of a DX Sunray Travel Mart, asked for hearings to be set. Since the P&Z had approved his request, a special hearing was set up for Mr. Stockstead before the P&Z on January 15, 1969, at 8:30 p.m. and a hearing before the Council on January 27 at 8:30 p.m., on a motion by Mr. Cardinal seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion Carried. Mr. Stockstead was advised that a variance could be requested at that time, the lot being only 1.7 acres in size. Mr. Gotwald stated that he was present at this meeting because he would be unable to attent the first meeting in January. He presented the up -to -date actual zoning map. Mr. Cardinal moved to accept this map as official zoning map of the Village subject to any subsequent additions and revisions. Mr. Gotwald agreed to update the map at each rezoning. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried.
