19 The minutes of the Planning and Zoning Board for June 18 were read. The hearing for rezoning and a special use permit for Mr. George Smith tooperate a riding stable on property on Birch Street was called to order at 8:29 p.m. Affidavits of publishing, posting and mailing were deemed to be in order, although Mr. Locher mentioned that School Dist. #12 had received a late notice due to an oversight and that the notice sent to Mr. Emmett Leibel had been returned by the Post Office. Mr. Locher stated that IAI Corp. represented by Mr. John B. Phaff, does not wish to rezone the parcel to commercial, but only wished a special use permit to be issued. Mr. Locher then suggested that the Village adopt an ordiance change to Ord. 6 which would permit the creating of limited commercial areas. He then read his proposed changes to Sect. 3 of Ord. 6 which basically states that areas may be created for only one type of commercial usageand the Council could rezone this property back to residential if it wished. This would permit a more orderly plan of organization as a person couldn't add any other commercial oper- ation without coming to the Council for approval. Mr. Locher noted that there was a reference in Ord. 6 to a limited commercial district, but there were none existing. This proposed amendment, Ord. No. 6 -0 would have to be published, and the Smith hearing continued to a later date. However, Mr. Locher thought that the Council should give Mr. Smith some indication of their intent on the special use permit. After some discussion, Mr. Rosengren moved to adjourn the hearing, to be reconvened at a later date with proper notification. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Bohjanen then moved that proposed Ordinance No. 6 -0 be studied and read at the next meeting, to be adopted then or later. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. The Clerk will make copies of the proposed amendment to be sent to the Council members. After discussion, Mr. Bohjanen moved that Mr. Geroge Smith be temporarily per- mitted to operate a riding stable, starting immediately, until the reconvening of the hearing on July 28th, and that such permission shall not jeopardize the Council's decision on a special use permit. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. It was decided that a letter from the Clerk would be sufficient as a temporary permit for Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith was asked about insurance on his operation and replied that he was bonded and that the place was posted with signs reading "ride at your own risk" as the premiums on horse insurance were much too high. Any more discussion will be taken up on July .:,28th. Mr. Alfred Maisio requested permission to create 2 lots out of 3 lots in Nordin Manor on 132nd Avenue. After discussion, gr.` Cardinal moved to grant a variance to Mr. Maisio to divide the lots as requested, but reminding Mr. Maisio that the Village was under no obligation to improve the street as it has never been accepted by the Village (although dedicated), that there was only an agreement for partial maintenance on the street, htat 132nd Avenue (Maple Street) is actaully a Vil- lage street but not accepted for full maintenance and that a building permit could be issued therefore, however, this would not be the case if the road were only an easement. The lots created are described as follows: Lot 1. All of Lot 18 and the West 26 feet of Lot 19, Block 2, Nordin Manor. Lot 2: All of Lot 20 and the East 50 feet of Lot 19, Block 2, Nordin Manor. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Cardinal reported that he had received a request for a split entry house to be built on Lot 2, Blcok 1, Blomquist Addition, which would leave side widths on the lot of only 7 and 8 feet. The lot in question was only 75' in width/ the owner also owns the adjoining 100' lot. There was much discussion on possibly
