Members present: Kelling, Hill and Shearan. Members absent: Nadeau and Houle. Councilman Marier was also absent. Mr. Kelling moved to accept the minutes of the April 16, 1975 meeting as written. Motion was seconded by Mr. Hill. Motion carried. Mr. Francis Burque was here to get some answers on questions pertaining to Ordinance No. 6 E - removing topsoil and the permit required. He had applied for a permit in 1972 or 1973 and had paid the $100.00 fee but had never received the permit or had never been informed of the charge per yard. Mr. Burque stated that he has not done anything yet, but his son would be doing dome this year and for sure next; at this time he wants to know how long the permit is good for, if the charge is an annual charge, what the charger per yard is. Mr. Burque also questioned the practice of charging a person to remove his own dirt. Why is this necessary? Mr. Karth said that an inspection is required of the sit to make sure that the land is put back in its original shape at the end of the project. After some discussion of the time limitation Mr. Kelling moved to recommend to the City Council that a permit be granted for this project. Mr. Hill asked if Mr. Kelling would make his motion with a definite time limitation of say 5 years per project? Mr. Hill said if you leave an open end of the limitation of such a project it may be going on for 10 or 20 years and this would not be a good idea. Mr. Kelling agreed and so moved to recommend to the City Council to grant the permit with a five year limitation. Mr. Shearan seconded the motion. Motion carried. The Chairman instructed the Clerk to back date the permit that had already been paid for to 1973, if the Council approved. Mr. Richard Juleen was next on the agenda to request a variance to Ordinance 21 A to split the property at 7109 Lakeview Drive to i acre parcels to build a home on the corner. The property is owned by Mr. Juleen's parents at this time. Because there would be a possibility of land locking future development on Fiarmont St. and the fact that the new lot would not meet current City requirements, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended via motion from Mr. Hill to recommend that the Juleen's have the City Engineer and Planner look at this request and advise on the feasibility of putting a road in off of Fairmont in the future. Mr. Kelling seconded the motion. Motion carried. Mr. Juleen is to contact both the Engineer and the Planner for their recommendations. MAY 21, 1975 -2- Next on the agenda was Mr. Bruce Henson, owner of the Surfside Seaplane Base with a request to park a mobile home unit at the _seaplane base to• be used as sleeping quarters for security purposes and to house a tool shed. Mr. Henson stated that there had been several break-ins last summer and he felt that if someone were to stay overnight it would help reduce the trouble they are having there. He said that it would only be a sleeping quarter and no-one would actually be living there. Mr. Karth asked why a home wasn't built on the property - it would only enhance the value property and would probably reduce the breakins further if a home were on the property. Mr. Henson said they did not have there as he has a home in another mobile home in back of the hanger the road. He wants to bring a 30 the room and he does not want to build city. He said that he would put the and no-one would be able to see it from foot unit it. Mr. Kelling asked if a Special Use Permit could be considered for 90 days with the stipulation that it be removed at the end of 90 days. Mr. Henson said that would cover the basic season and he would agree to put the unit in the hanger for the winter, but he would want the permit on an annual basis, not just for this year. Mr. Shearan asked how sewer and water would be handled? Wouldn't this set up require the hook up of sewer and water? Mr. Henson said it would not be necessary as it would only be a sleeping room. After more discussion, Mr. Shearan moved to recommend to the Council that this permit be denied unless Mr. Henson brought in some definite building plans for a permanment structure. Motion seconded by Mr. Kelling and passed. Mr. Charles Nelson was next on the agenda to present his plan for the road that is required in the Pine Vista Plat. He said that the bonding companies are now requiring 150% collateral and there is no way he can put up $30,000.00,worth of collateral at this time.

Right now there are no regulations especially if a person has 10 or less acres of land. Mr. Amundsen is looking for specifics such as size, whether or not frost footings are required, height restrictions, type of material used, etc. He said he would not want some of the pole buildings that have been built to be built in his neighborhood, but right now they could be put up with no questions asked.
