P&& members present were Rehbein, Kelling, Stanley, and Brovold; Councilmen present were L'Allier, Jaworski, Cardinal „Bohjanen, and Rosengren; Press, Mrs. Anne Bohjanen; Audience, Fred Rehbein; Village Engineer, George Gotwald; and the Deputy Merl' The first question on the printed survey was to list the five most outstanding characteris- tics of our acnmunity. These were suggested: 1. Two major interstate freeways -- a) Proximity to the Twin Cities (b) Complete transportation 2. Large amount of lakes a) complete recreation 3. Large areas for development (a) industrial and commercial b) residential 4. Relationship to existing airports and proposed airport 5. Topography and soil conditions. The next question concerned the five most pressing problems of the community. Those discussed were sewer and water, roads and zoning. At this point Mr. .twald said that the biggest problem was sewer and how to finance it. Therefore making financing the biggest problem. Mr. Gotwald stated his opinion of Professional Planners and said he "Has no love for planners" and that a planner basis his opinion on the material available which is available to anyone. He said park and utility grants are not contingent on having a planner. In view of the fact that our Village is 90 per cent farmland it is not going to change drastically overnight. At this point, Mr. Rehbein asked Mr. Gotwald if the Council, the P&Z and Mr. Gotwald could draw up some tentative plan on a map for future zoning. All members were then given a map of the Village and with the help of Mr. Gotwald set forth areas designated for industrial and ccmmercial use the rest being left open zoning. Mr. Gotwald said we should obtain detailed topography maps and other maps of the Village and that he would get some from the highway department and the County and that his company could draw up some. Mr. Rehbein brought up the possibility of filling swamps with sanitary landfill. Thirty acres of the Bill Waldoeh property was discussed as a future purchase by the Village. Mr. Cardinal was to check on the cost per acre and the possibility of taking an option on the property. This site would be on a 9004 road and possib';; the most centrally loeated Village property available. The Lino Lakes park could possiblyb`sold for revenue and would make a good commecial site for a buyer.
