Chairman Rehbein opened the Special Hearing for the Blomquist Addition. Mr. Locher talked about the technicalities and showed that the notice of the special hearing had been published in the Blaine Life on July 5 and 12th. He mentioned that the title had not been searched for the legal description and this should be done and he would be glad to do it if Mr. Blomquist would present him with the proper papers. Mr. Locher pointed out that the lots were staked with iron monuments and this is a very good ides as wooden ones can be dislocated much more cattily. He felt this may be an idea which the Board of Zoning should consider. All of the lots met the minimum requirements as per Ordinance 21, and there was room left for roadways. Mr. Rehbein asked for objections from the audience and the Board members. There were none and the hearing was closed. Mr. Rehbein moved to recommend to the Council that Eugene Blomquist and Evelyn Blomquist be allowed to plat as Blomquist Addition the land having the following legal description: The South 200 feet of the West 475 feet of the Southwest 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 of Section 31, Town 31 N, Range 22 W, Anoka County, Minn., also known as being part of Lot 3, Auditor's Subdivision No. 107, Rnoka County, Minn.
