154 Gotwald reported that no work was done on the streets in Lakeview Area in 1965 because of the water situation, and because the cross streets had not been seal coated since 1963, it was his recommendation the entire area be seal coated and sanded at an estimated cost of $4,310. Leaving off the cross streets would run approximately $30240. If we contracted to include the work as suggested to solve the drainage problem, this would add approx- imately $1,500, bringing the total to $5,800. Following discussion of the above road work, Backlin moved, with second by Ross, that we have the engineer work out a schedule of street improvement substantiated by informal bids. Backlin discussed the problem on East Holly concerning right-of-way on property' of Mr. Neeser, after which he moved that the attorney check on this right-of-way. (Neeser has already given permission, it is Lundgren who needs the right-of-way). Backlin also asked the attorney what had been found out on the situation with Arnold Thies. Locher had talked to the attorney representing Thies, but had not received a return call indicating Thies had been contacted. Will try to solve this situation before the next meeting. Pete Scherer and Backlin again discussed the road situation by Scherer's property, and it was Mr. Wcherer's opinion that the Council should apply pressure to the County Commissioners to get the necessary work done. After a lengthy discussion on the subject, Ralph L'Allier moved that Backlin contact the County officials, ask them for their proposed plans and attempt to set up a meeting for the Council to determine if the Cty plans were acceptable. Domning seconded the motion. At this time, Locher administered the oath of office to Ralph L'Allier, after which return was made to the above motion, and which was then approved unanimously. Ross reported that the next Planning & Zoning meeting would be held on May 18th. One of the things coming up for discussion would be the Plumb- ing and Heating code, since the new Minnesota code has been received. He also reported that the price for the second set of aerial maps would be $3.00 per section. Gordon Stromberg again appeared before the Council in regard to a building permit to construct a home on Baldwin Lake Road. One of the problems involved is that the St. Paul, Water Department will not issue a full ease- ment, but would consider issuing a permit for one year for the sum of Si. During discussion with the Council, Mr. Stromberg agreed that he would not sell any portion of his property without the proper request for plat- ting, and agreed to use the existing road as a private driveway with the village not being responsible for any maintenance on this road. He also agreed that if the village should lease this road and surrounding property from the Water Department, that he would t that time change his driveway to connect with the Water Department Road. L'Allier then moved we grant Mr. Stromberg a Special Use Permit at a fee of $25.00 with all of the above stipulations included on the permit. Second, by Zelinka. Motion carried. (The above agreement is covered by Ordinance 22, Section 27). Ross asked if any answer had been received yet on the set-up question for the "49" Club, because he felt the situation at the club and the attitude of the Nathe's had put the Council in a very poor position. Locher replied that he had been checking every week, but nothing had yet been decided.
