r Mr. L'Allier noted that Mr. Bob Sander, on the agenda, was not present. Mr. Cardinal stated that Mr. Ken Rehbein had requested a variance on a parcel to be split from the Hammer property on Oak Lane. There was some discussion on the road easement for the rest of the Hammer property to line up with the 33' ease- ment on the lot in question. Mr. Cardinal moved that a variance be granted to Ken Rehbein on the following described property: The West 90 feet of the East 376 feet of the South 157.5 feet of the NE 1/4 of Section 8, Township 31, Range 22, Anoka County, Minnesota, subject to an easement for roadway purposes over the southerly 33 feet thereof. Above described tract being part of Lot 12, Auditor's Sub. No. 100, with the following stipulation: that positive action be taken to acquire a 66' roadway, this meaning that an additional 33' easement be given by the owner for the rest of Lot 12. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unani- mously. The Clerk was instructed to send a letter stating that if the owner gives a 33' easement, the Council will grant a variance and a building permit on the requested parcel. Mr. Locher noted that the owners would draft their own document and he would examine this. Mr. Cardinal stated that Mr. Stein had appeared before the P&Z stating that he had a problem getting a petition for the mobile home court signed. Apparently persons don't disapprove of a court, but don't wish to petition for one. Crystal Ahlman, stated that Mr. Stein was thinking of leaving the front 300' of the property along Elm Street zoned as is and would only request rezoning for the remainder of the property. He has even considered leaving 300!' around the whole thing. The priest from St. Joseph's Church didn't feel he could sign for the whole parish. Mr. Locher read from the ordinance stating that the Council may pass a resolution asking for a hearing. At this point, Mr. Bob Raymond spoke up against the trailer court. Mrs. Ahlman took the floor, stating that if the front 300' were not rezoned, Mr. Raymond would have no say; also the positive aspects of a nice mobile home court. She then asked the Council to set a public hearing for opinions on the court. After discussion, Mr. Bohjanen moved to set hearings for opinions on the proposed mobile home court before the P&Z on Oct. 15 and the Council on Oct. 27 for all to have an opportunity to voice their feelings. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Vote: Mr. Jaworski, no; the rest, aye. Motion carried. Mr. L'Allier stated that this would give the developer a chance to at least have a hearing. Mr. Locher stated that for the notices of hearings, he would need the legal descriptions and the names of all concerned. Mr. Cardinal presented Mr. Cecil LaMotte, who had called him and asked to speak to the Council. Mr. LaMotte questioned the letter he had received from the Clerk giving a certification of the minutes of the preliminary plat hearing; in partic- ular the stipulation about the cul-de -sac. Mr. LaMotte stated that he had made a 100' square turnaround rather than the cul-de -sac proposed at the time of the hearing. There was some discussion of corrections that were needed on the plat. It was mentioned that the final plat hearing was set for September 8th. Mr. L'Allier commended Mr. LaMotte for developing his own land and conforming to what some people think are strict ordinances. Mr. LaMotte was told to see Mr. Gotwald for an estimate on the cash deposit for the road work. Mr. Cardinal mentioned that he and Mr. Locher had visited with Mr. Wm. Waldoch about the possibility of obtaining title for 2 acres of the property. Mr. Waldoch had voiced fears that if the Village obtained title for 2 acres that they would not want the rest of the property. He had been reassured that this was not so. Mr. Waldoch wished to have an extra $1100.00 down on the whole parcel, thus giving $2100.00 for title to the two acres. It was decided that the Council would meet with Mr. Gotwald the following evening at 8 p.m. to pick out the site of the 2 acres The Clerk was instructed to call Mr. Gotwald.
