215 5 Mr. Cardinal then moved to authorize the fiscal agent, Mr. Springsted, to work up methods of financing for sewer and water. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. After discussion, Mr. Bohjanen moved to set the date of August 7th to hear the recommendations of the Fiscal Agent and the Engineers on the Jandric franchises that evening. Seconded by Nr. Cardinal. Carried. The Clerk will send letters to both setting the meeting for that date. After an explanation to the audience by the MaXor, Mr. Cardinal moved to authorize the Clerk to be seated at the right of the Mayor in order that she can better get the conversation. Mr. Bohjanen remarked that there was no certain seating arrangement by law and that a vote really was not necessary. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. The hearing for George Smith's special use permit for the riding stable was reconvened at 9:05 p.m. Mr. Locher noted that Ord. No. 6-0, allowing areas to be set aside for limited commercial use, had been adopted at the previous meeting and that it had been published, therefore in effect. A Mr. Wilharber asked where the boundary line for Mr. Smith's stable lay and was told that it was that of his entire property. Mr. Wilharber complained that he had seen horses ridden on the neighboring St. Paul Water Works property as well as on Centerville Rd. Mr. Smith declared that the horses reported to be on the road were not his, but those persons seen on the Waterworks property were hold-overs from the previous stable who used the trail to go swimming. He stated that he would see that this ceases. Mr. Wilharber said that he was not objecting to the stable as long as the fences were kept fixed. Mr. Scherer asked whether we had an ordinance prohibiting riding horses on a roadway and was told "no", but that such was not recommended. Mr. Scherer felt that a person should have a sufficient amount of land on which to ride if he were to have horses. Mrs. Agnes LaMotte complained that Dale Hughes who only had 2 acres had 7 to 8 horses on his property and that Mr. Boyer also had horses on his lot, as well as motorcycles. Mr. Wilharber also asked if a person could ride a horse in Centerville Park; this is okay. Mr. Smith asked whether it was all right to have pop-vending machines in hib barn and was told that no license was required since the property would be commercial. Mr. Cardinal moved that Mr. Smith's property be rezoned under Ord. 6-0 with use limited to a riding stable and the boarding of horses; this property having the following legal description: "The following described, siutated in Anoka County, Minnesota: 1) The NE 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 28, Township 31, Range 22. 2) The West 1/2 of the NW 1/4 of Section 27, Township 31, Range 22, except the following described tracts of land: a.
