Joe Davis asked that the postoffice also be offic ially notified for mail routes to be altered. Mr. Stromberg was present and asked if the village engineer and attorney were responsible to have the easements worked out pursuant to his, Strom - berg, building a house on Baldwin Lake Road. Attorney advised Mr. Stromberg he should take care of this. Mr. Ross asked to have the following entered into the minutes relative to the above matter: "A Mr. Wally Stucke, 6220 Baldwin Lake Drive, appeared at the Planning and Zoning meeting on 4/20/66 and brought before the commission a problem of concern over a street being constructed too near his house. A permit had been given to another party for constructing a house in back of Mr. Stucke. Moved and seconded to recommend to the Council that no action be taken on building a road until both parties concerned have been heard. Motion carried." After this discussion, Backlin moved that Mr. Stromberg proceed to procure the neces- sary easements, and pay for his own engineering and legal fees. Second by Ross, motion carried. Discussion was again brought up on using the St. Paul Water Department property for a park, and the attorney was instructed to draw up a resolu- tion to present to the Water Department on our proposed use of this property. Speiser reported he and the engineer had checked the blacktopping in other parks, but had not as yet received any information on our own proposed work. A request for quote had been made from the H &S Company in Anoka on a 60 x 120' court. Also asked to have the attorney check to see if the property on Main Street had been restricted to the use of a park only. Minutes of the Planning and Zoning Committee Meeting were read.

Jim Hill appeared before the Council and stated he had favorable recom- mendation from the Planning and Zoning Committee for approval of his parcel split. Ross moved we grant this request, with the stipulation by our legal council that no precedent is being set. Second by Speiser, motion carried. Special variance is hereby granted, and a fee of $25 will be charged for the special use permit, Gotwald reported that Bob Lund attended the meeting of the Highway Depart- ment on April 13, but it was an informational meeting only for those contractors who had questions. Gotwald reported they had put in letter form the information requested by Mr. Christenson, however, it was necessary for the letter to be signed by a Village Official. Letter was presented to the clerk, who will sign and mail.

(Detailed footages of different pipe sizes with approximate costs were given). Ross moved we grant Circle Pines Utilities permission to proceed with the proposed extension. Backlin seconded the motion, and approximately an hours discussion followed. On the vote, Ross -yes, Speiser -no, Backlin -yes, Zelinka -no and Domning -no. Motion failed.
