I Mr. Cardinal stated that he had nothing definite yet to report on the Minnesota Plumbing Code, but that Mr. Jester would report his findings to the next P&Z meeting. Mr. Bohjanen took issue with the statement in the P&Z minutes re- garding the qualifications of a plumbing inspector; he wondered whether the same restrictions as to conflict of interest and competition shouldn't also apply to the building inspector and others. Mr. Cardinal mentioned a man living in White Bear Township who does only inspection work, having quit the actual plumbing. Mrs. Harold Speis of 565 Marshan Lane asked the Council for approval to do beauty work in her basement, the approval being necessary to obtain her beauty operator's license. Mr. Bohjanen moved to adopt e resolution that a letter be sent to Mrs. Speis authorizing her to operate a beauty shop in her basement. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Crystall Ahlman, saleswoman for North- Northeast Realty, approached the council on the idea of showing more support for the Ham Lake site for the new airport. She asked that someone on the Council accompany her to the next hearing on Feb- ruary 10 to boost the area. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he would try to make it. Mrs. Ahlmann also mentioned persons whom she stated are interested in developing 1) a trailer park in the proposed industrial site and 2) an industrial park on Tilsen's corner; these persons want to know how the Council feels about such pro- jects and about bringing in sewer and water. Mr. Bohjanen thought it wouldn't be long before the Legislature acts on bringing ,sewer into the Youth Center. Per- sons wishing to bring in sewer or water should petition the council to initiate action. The Park Board minutes were read. Mr. Jaworski inquired about the Baldwin Lake Mobile Home Park having a definite area set aside for park use, whether they must furnish the equipment and maintain same or the Village maintain. Mr. Locher read from Ordinance 39 stating that such a park area must be established and maintained by the owners; this does not necessarily mean that the park must be outfitted by the owners. Mr. Cardinal will take the matter before the Planning Board. The Park Board feels that the area badly needs park area. However, if this is to be a public park then the Village would have to maintain roads into it. If private, then only children living in the Court could use it. Mr. Jaworski moved that the Engineer be allowed to attend the next Park Board meeting on February 17 to work with them on the development of long and short- range plans, this to be ready in 90 days. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Jaworski moved that the Attorney check with the attorney for the St. Paul Water Department to obtain a 99 -year lease on the Baldwin Lake property for the price of $].00(one dollar). Seconded by Mr. L'Allier. Carried. Mr. Locher will also check on the lease for the Centerville Lake Park. Mr. Gotwald's letter regarding the easement for RCPA of Elk River across the Lino Bark was read. Mr. Gotwald's opinion was that the easement was for the entire park area. After study, Mr. Locher agreed that the Engineer was right, and that the easement should define a specific line within that description. The Clerk was instructed to write to RCPA stating that it was our observation that the easement should contain a specific line with a specific width on each side thereof III for the power line; also that the easement should specify theminimum distance that the line would hang above the property.
