The roll call showed W. Jaworski and Mr. Rosengren absent; however, they arrived shortly thereafter. Motion was carried to accept the minutes as corrected. Mr. Bohjanen moved to grant a 3.2 beer license (on -sale) for the Civil Defense at their auction on Sept. 14th at Sunrise Park. Mr. Locher stated-that the insurance papers were in order. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. A letter from Sen. Eugene McCarthy regarding our concern over - taxation of municipal bonds was read. The Clerk reported that funds had been received from the State for mobile home taxes as well as-cigarette and liquor taxes.- - A letter from the Anoka County Welfare Dept. was read; this asked for candidates for Anoka County's Outstanding Senior Citizen. Deadline on entries is Aug. 29. Crystal Ahlman suggested Mrs. Julia Faymorville. Mr. Bohjanen concurred that this was an excellent recommendation. Mrs. Ahlman will fill out the papers. At 8:30 p.m. the hearing for a special use permit for Bruce and Leo Kafka was called to order. The Kafka's are requesting a permit for the parking of a trailer on Leo Kafka's property (being purchased by Bruce Kafka, son) so that Mr. Leo Kafka can live in it for the remainder of his life. Mr. Locher stated that he had examined the affidavits of mailing (Aug. 6) and posting (Aug. 9) and had found them to be in order. Mr. Locher also mentioned that there had been no one at the Planning & Zoning hearing in opposition to the trailer. Mr. Cardinal stated that the P&Z had recommended the special use permit. Mr. Cardinal then moved to abide by the Planning and Zoning's recommendation and grant Leo Kafka and Bruce Kafka a special use permit to park, maintain, and occupy as a residence by Leo Kafka, for the natural life of Leo F. Kafka, a mobile home, according to law, having a minimum size of 10' by 45' floor space. Mr. Bruce Kafka stated that the trailer they were 1 1 1 w,31 purchasing was 12' by 44'. The property on which the trailer is to be placed is described as follows: The Northerly 264 feet of the W1/2 of the S 1/2 of the W 1/2 of the SW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 32, Township 31, Range 22, Anoka County Minnesota. The motion was seconded by Mr. Bohjanen and carried unanimously. The hearing closed at 8:32 p.m. Mr. L'Allier noted that no one was yet present from Naegele Sign Co. for their hearing. Mr. Cardinal stated that no one from their organization had been present at the P&Z hearing either. Therefore the P&Z had discussed the matter but having no sizes for the signs or descriptions, had continued the hearing until those specifics had been received. Mr. Bohjanen stated that the hearing could be re- opened without special notice. Mr. Locher stated that a representative of the company had told him that specifications for the signs had been mailed to him; however, he had not received them. It was decided to wait until 8:45 for the hearing. Mr. Cardinal mentioned that the issue of plastic pipe for waste had been discussed by the P &Z. The new revised Minn. Plumbing Code allows the use of said pipe. Mr. Locher agreed that copies of the new Code were not yet available; apparently we shall have to adopt the whole new code. The P&Z had recommended holding off action until the new code is available. Our ordinance is still in effect except where the new code is more rigid. The Clerk was instructed to contact the State for copies of the new code for the Council and P &Z. Mr. Cardinal stated that the P&Z had discussed briefly the underground utilities ordinance now proposed. Mr. Gotwald had said that he would have someone to speak on this at the September P&Z meeting. Mr. Dan Erhard from the Elk River Cooperative handed out sheets which gave changes they would like to see in the wording of the proposed ordinance. In Section 2 of the proposed Ord. 49, he suggested the change in the second line of "step -down station" to read "distribution transformer" and in the 4th line change "reduction transformer stations" to "associated dis- tribution transformer ". Mr. Erhard proceeded to explain the various usages of "secondary" relative to electric lines and how it can be easily confused; therefore he wished to have the correct technological terms. In Section 3 he wished the word "secondary" inserted between "and" and "services" in the second line. Mr. Bohjanen moved to table the matter until the next regular meeting. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. The special use permit hearing for Naegele Sign Co. was called to order at 8:47 p.m. Mr. Terry Hughes was present to represent the firm. Mr. Locher confirmed that the affidavits of posting and mailing were in order. He mentioned that some of the mailed notices had been returned to him since the names on record at the Court House are not at listed addresses. However, Hr. Locher stated that this made no difference the notices had been mailed. Mr. L'Allier stated that since the Planning and Zoning hearing was not complete there could be no decision tonight, that the hearing would be continued until the regular meeting following the next Planning and Zoning meeting on the 17th of September. Mr. Hughes had brought the drawings of the signs; these were distributed for the members to look over. Naegele plans to place the signs at the following locations: one, 12' by 16', at 7th Ave. and Birch St.; one at the intersection of Birch St. and Hodgson Rd., and one near the Apple Inn on Hwy. 49. There will also be a large entry sign on the U.S. Lakes Development Co. property. The signs will be lighted with fluorescent tubes. After some further discussion, Mr. Bohjanen moved to adjourn the hearing at 8:58 p.m. to an indefinite date, that the hearing can be recalled without the appearance of any representatives of Naegele Sign Co., and that the Council has final approval of which the company will be notified. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. 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. 1 1 1 2 Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Locher about the limit on a contract. Mr. Locher replied that there was a five year limit on any contracts. He had worked nit the payment schedule; this had complied with Mr. Waldoch's wishes to receive less than 1/3 of the total payment the first year. The first payment due in September 1970 would be $3.575, including $715 interest; the second payment in September 1971 would be $3,430, including $570 interest; the third payment in September 1972 would be $3,289 including $429 interest; the fourth payment in September 1973 would be $3,146 including $286 interest; the fifth payment in 1974 would be $3,043 including $143 interest.. (The base amount in each of these payments is $2,860.00). A larger or additional amount could be paid after the first year. Mr. Locher stated that Mr. Waldoch would pay the cost of the new abstract on the 30 acres. Mr. Locher has abstracted the title for the two acres, needing only the legal description. Mr. Waldoch also has to pay $36.30 in State Deed Tax. Mr. Locher stated that State Statue 412.21 on contracts requires payment within 5 years. If the price exceeds 1% of the assessed valuation, hearings are needed. If a petition is made for placing the purchaseon the ballot, this must be done. Mr. Locher will check on our assessed valuation with Mr. Campbell, County Auditor. Mr. Cardinal moved that Lino Lakes exercise the option to purchase the entire 30 acre parcel from Mr. William W. and Mrs. Anna A. Waldoch on a contract for deed, receiving clear title to a two -acre separate parcel for an additional down payment of $1100.00, making the total down payment $2,100.00; all of the amount of $2,100 applying to the purchase price. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. L'Allier presented Mr. Paul Miller of Acton Construction Co. who stated that they had purchased additional surrounding lands to develop. In particular, he would like to rezone a 60 acre parcel on, the West side of 135E. He would like to put in a sewer line from the proposed line from White Bear to Forest Lake. This line, he feels, would eventually serve Centerville, and could handle 75,E population. Since Acton's property is only 1 mile from the proposed line, they feel they could afford to put it in before I-35E is finished if they could develop a trailer park to help pay for it. Mr. Miller stated that he has been told that a stub will be put in the main line for Centerville. He wishes to hook into this; this line could go to Centerville in the future when there is need. Acton would be willing to spend $100,000 on this line. Acton is using our Engineering firm, so would have no problem in doing the line to our specifications. A franchise would be needed. Mr. Cardinal moved to set the dates of September 17 for the P&Z hearing and September 22 for a hearing before the Council. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. Mr. Jaworski stated that there had been no Park Board Meeting yet. The Cub Tractor had arrived the previous Wednesday. The Clerk should contact Mr. Ray for insurance. Collision insurance would not be needed since the tractor would not be driven on the roads. Mr. Bohjanen inquired whether any bids had been received on a tape recorder. The Clerk replied that one bid was forthcoming and wished to know whether she should inquire about an amplifier for the wall also. Mr. Bohjanen will get the number for Mr. Dick Zelinka at work so that a bid can be obtained from him also. It was noted that the CD auction was set for September 14th. 234 Mr. L'Allier stated that he and Mr. Gotwald had met with 2 persons from the Conservation Dept., a Mr. Platson and a Mr. Morris Eng, ground-water hydrologist. Mr. Eng thought that there had been no damage to the bottom of the alke, but could not guarantee that the water would return. Several site wells will be bored, 1 -1 1/2 in., to observe the water levels. Mr. Gotwald thought that the developer should take 2 borings at the north and south ends of the lake to see what the depth of the hard -pan is. Mr. Jandric will follow through with the site borings and the wells and turn the information over to the Conservation Dept. Mr. Eng will then be in a better position to make an evaluation. Mr. Eng had noted that the lake was fed by ground water, that 4 or 5 springs were bubbling up. Mr. Jandric will pump from one of his wells into the lake and possibly the second one also. Mr. Plattson had agreed to contact the, Developer on Mr. Eng's and Mr. Gotwald's suggestions. A letter from Mr. Platoon is expected. Mr. L'Ailier had attended another meeting with municipal officials at Lexington on the policing problem. It was decided that they should ask for a professional opinion, so they are requesting the State Bureau of Crime Apprehension to make a study and set a meeting with all local officials on their opinion. It was thought]. the policing could be done at $4.00 per capita. The question of professional training for all police officers was raised. Mr. Locher stated that the new state law had not yet been enforced yet as to part time men, but reads for any police officer. The law is not clear on what constitutes this training. A "grandfather clause" would exempt any officer hired prior to July 1967, which would exempt two of our men. Mr. Bohjanen asked whether anything had been heard from Mr. Talbot. He was re- ported to be in Ireland. The Clerk should contact the Sherrif's office for the necessary figures. Mr. Rosengren stated that not all the figures were in yet for the costs on Ware Road but it was certain that the total would not go over $2,000.00. This was for a half -mile of 4" blacktop. Mr. Schifsky will roll the road again if the rocks should show. Mr. Rosengren reported that Bald Eagle Blvd. did not seeta as bad as had been expected. He would like to put the same coating on it as on Ware Road, this would probably cost about $4,000 for the 1 mile. Mr. Gotwald will get the price on sulfite for dust control for next time. Mr. Bohjanen moved to authorize Mr. Rosengren to purchase a pump and spraybar for the tanker truck for under $400.00. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Cardinal moved to authorize Mr. Rosengren to do Bald Eagle Blvd. at a cost of approximately $4000.00. Seconded by-Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. Mr. Rosengren reported that Mr. Lundgren had cut the weeds; time for the job was 69 hours. The cost 0 $6/hour will run about $414.00. Mr. Cardinal moved to authorize Mr. Rosengren to purchase a 1966 1/2 ton green Ford pickup truck, providing that any necessary work repair is done for a cost of $1395.00. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Juleen will look over the truck. Mr. Bohjanen thought it part of our regular routine to have the truck painted orange. Mr. Rosengren would like to keep the old truck for a while to take off some parts. 1 1 1 1 Mr. Rosengren stated that 170 tons of sand had been hauled on 2nd Avenue so far. He had also gotten two prices on a tandem dump truck. He had one quote with him: a Chevrolet truck at $10,725, listing at $13,421, but getting a fleet discount. This is with the dump and heavy duty throughout, also 4 speed and overdrive with good seats and power steering. It needed a roof light, but could use our plows as these are interchangeable. Mr. Rosengren stated that we should have better equipment; it would not be necessary to have a loader to load it as we don't load much. Mr. Rosengren presented material. from Cuckler Buildings. For an insulated, but not finished building the cost would be about $7.50 per square foot; if half finished, about $10.00 per square foot. This would include lighting, heat, plumbing, well, and overhead doors. Mr. L'Allier mentioned that Walter Tauer had some roof spans that might be used in the building. Mr. Rosengren stated that these could not be used since the buildings are engineered for their own parts only; these spans would be for a cement building. Mr. Rosengren stated that Cuckler had their crew at Princeton now and could come out and help with the specifications - -there would be no charge for this if we took their bid. He is also waiting for literature from Lester of Lester Prairie. It was thought that the cost would run about $100,000. The date of September 9th was set for an informal meeting to decide on specifications on the building at 8 p.m. Mr. Juleen thought that the building would never pass on the ballot. Upon questioning, Mr. Locher stated that a builder of apartments would need a special use permit under our ordinances. Mr. Locher stated that he had reached Mr. Ridenberg, Attorney for Circle Pines, who had stated that the settlement of the municipal court property had been held up by one judge who had thought that they should get the Minn. Statute Books free. Mr. Locher had also contacted Mr. Segal of the St. Paul Water Dept. who has signed the re- drafted agreement on the Baldwin Lake property and has mailed it to Mr. Locher. The date of October 2nd was set for a meeting with the planner, Mr. Van Housen, and the P &2. The Clerk will send cards to all and confirm this with Mr. McLean. Mr. John: Juleen _pre4sented a copy of Ord. No. 68 from Lexington pertaining to fire prevention and suggested that Lino Lakes adopt the same. Our present ordinance has no teeth in it. Copies will be sent to the Council and immediately to Mr. Locher for drafting for discussion next time. It was decided that the General Fund only would be taken up at the first budget meeting. Mr. Bohjanen moved to pay the bills as audited. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Jaworski moved to adjourn at 11:02 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried.

Waldemar Hill. The general fund, both disbursements and receipts, for 1970 was decided. It was general concensus that an amount of $600.00 be allocated for an additional $10.00 per month expenses for each council member if it were the wish of the 1970 Council. There was considerable discussion on a proposed increase in salary for the Clerk - Treasurer and the Deputy Clerk. Mr. Jaworski presented the salary proposals made
