Members present: Karth, Kelling, Hill, Nadeau, Reinert, Sheaaen. Absent; None. Mr. McLean, Council liaison, was also present. Mr. Kelling moved to approve the minutes of October 20, 1976 as presented. Seconded by Mr. Reinert. Motion carried unanimously. Since the persons scheduled to appear at this time were not present, Chairman Gourley recognized'Mr. Welsch. Mr. Welsch owns Lot 2, Block 2, Nordin Manor and would like to construct a home on that lot. However, this lot has no street, nor is there an access street to the property. The easement for a proposed stree-tis only 33' in width. Mr. Welsch felt that since this is a registered plat, the construction of the streets aim the City's responsibility. Chairman Gourley said, No, the construction.ojstreets is the responsibility of the property owners. The acceptance of a plat does not include the streets until they are surfaced per City specifications, inspected by the Engineer, and approved by the Council for City maintenance. Mr. McLean asked Mr. Welsch if there are other perple involved in this and would there be a possibility of more construction on that street? Mr. Welsch said, Yes. Mr. McLean then suggested to Mr. Welsch to get these people together, presented a petition to the City for the installation of the street, this could then be done and the costs assessed to the affected properties. Mr. Welsch said he had attended this meeting to clarify just whose responsibilii it is to install the street. He asked if it would be necessary to get an easement for an additional 33' and was told, Yes. He will do some further checking with the other property and return at a later date. Mr. McLean presented his report as to the Council action taken on the recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Board meeting held in October. Mr. Joseph Huber had applied for two variance$'- one for each lot in the pro- posed split of his land with less than 150' frontage. Since these are large lots and have more than the required 2 acres, the Board felt this frontage would not present a problem. Mr. Shearen moved to recommend to the Council approval of these variances for two lots with less than the required 150' frontage. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Donna Butters, representing Mr. Kammerer, who owns land at the end of Marshan Lane was recognized by Chairman Gourley. Mrs. Butters had appeared before this Board at an earlier date. Most of the details had been worked out and Mrs. Butters presented a drawing of a cul-de-sac to.'be built so as to give this property 150' frontage. There was discussion on the placement of this cul-de-sac. Also, the fact this does not have to be a solid surface over the entire area - the center could be left without surfacing. Mr. Reinert moved to recommend approval of -this cul-de-sac to the City Council with the stipulation that Mrs. Butters do this according to the City Engineer's recommendations. Seconded by Mr. Nadeau. Motion carried unanimously. Ghairman Gourley reported on a complaint he had received in conjunction with the Molin Concrete Co.'s operations along 4th Avenue. The Clerk reported she had pulled the file on this permitted operation. Mr. Volk had inspected the ditch and had met with Mr. Molin and informed him of the changes that - Page Two - must be done. Mr. Mobley had also read the stipulations as to screening and he will also inspect the site and consult with Mr. Molin on the screening that must be done. Chairman/said he�/ would report back to the complaintant on the steps being taken. (''ova 1.c-/ Mr. Paul Albrect presented a preliminary plat for 130 acres located in the South East corner of the City. The Clerk read the letters from Mr. William Short, Planner and Mr. George Gotwald, Engineer. Mr. Pendagast, Engineer for Mr. Albrect, was present and he explained that some soil borings had been done but not complteted. This drawing had been done some years ago and Mr. Albrect felt that it just a starting point. Mr. Pendagast said they are aware of the marginal areas but felt that with the realignment of some of lots, there should be ho problems. Nuvciiibcl 1 / , 17i U Mr. Hill remarked on the Planner's suggestion that possible the Corps of Engineers would become involved with this plat. Mr. Hill moved to recommend to the Council acceptance of this preliminary plat subject to compliance with the Planner's and Engineer's recommendations. Seconded by Mr. Shearen. Motion carried,unanimously. Mr. Jerry Blackbird presented a proposal to the Board for consideration. Mr. Bruce Borden plans to purchase the building located on the corner of Highway #8 and Aqua Lane for the purpose of manufacturing insulation from paper. They are in the process of purchasing additional land to the East for the construction of storage buildings. These buildings would be colored steel buildings with concrete floors and used for the storage of paper. Mr. Blackbird asked what the procedure would be for the use of the land to thc East and he was told it would have to be rezoned. Mr. _Hill wondered if Aqua Lane would be able to handle the traffic. Mr. Kelling said that street only has an oiled surface and heavy traffic would probably break it up. Mr. Border was asked about the process and he explained the procedure used to turn paper into, insulation.. He was asked about the noise and he said there would be a grinder and a hammer mill. He plans to start with approximately 8 employees and felt that if things went as he anticipated, he would triple his employees within 9 months. He would add more equiptment and possible a second shift. There was discussion on the type of paper used - news print; where it would be stored - all inside; participate in the cost of upgrading Aqua Lane at that point - depending on the status of his business at the time. Some asked if there would be a problem with paper flying about. Mr. Border said, No, paper with any moisture in it cannot be used in his process. Someone asked what he did with paper of that quality and he said he sold it to Waldorf. Someone asked about screen- ing along Aqua Lane and Mr. Kelling said the Street is too narrow for screening, it creates a problem with snow drifts. Mr. Blackbird was advised to get the necessary forms and apply for rezoning. Mr. Blackbird asked about obtaining a building permit at the end of 79th Street. Since the street endSat the beginning of the lot, it was suggested that a cul-de=sac be installed onto the lot to provide the necessary 150' frontage. Mr. Blackbird will consider this. Mr. Glenn Rehbein appeared before the Board with a request to use a 33' easement off Highway 8 just North of Rice Creek for access to property located along l35W. Mr. Rehbein said they {kM e access to the property through lands they own to the South but would have to construct a bridge of some sort across Rice Creek and they would like to avoid this if possible. - Page Three - November 17, 1976 There are several parcels of land that are landlocked or unbuildable, due to size or location. It was suggested Mr. Rehbein talk to the owner of this land and work out some sort of trade for additional footage to make this access 66' wide as required by the City Ordinances. Mr. Rehbein said he would see what could be done. Under Old Business, Mr. Hill reported the trailer located on Highway #49 has been removed. Under New Business, Mr. McLean presented a report on the progress of the Chain of Lakes Park. A book with ajl recommendations and plans has been published. As a part of this book is the Resolution and the Guide Lines for Development that was worked out by this Board with the Anoka County Representatives. The book will be presented to the Anoka County Commissioners next week and a formal presentation to the community will be at a later date. Chairman Gourley said he had forgotten the Minutes of October 27, 1976. Mr. Kelling moved to approve as presented. Seconded by Mr. Shearen. Motion carried unanimously.
