Also present was Mr. Marier, liaison to the Council. Acting as Deputy -Clerk was Mrs. Sarner. Mr. Kelling moved to accept the minutes of the June 21,1972 meting as written. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried. Steven Krause cancelled his appearance before the P&Z Board, deciding to build the house instead of just the basement. W. Schneider's request was delayed. Their plans are not ready to move on as yet and they were looking for information which was received from the Clerk. Mr. Tagg appeared before the Board to question the requirements for 4" black- top road and the requirement of curbs and gutters. Since his road would be a dead end and used only for his property, he wondered if these requirements would apply in this case. All the bids he has received are for 2" blacktop. He also felt there would be much less traffic on this road than on regular Village roads. The Board questioned the use of delivery trucks and other heavy motor vehicles. Mr. Tagg also questioned the curbs and gutters. Mr. McLean read from the code which states that all roads must have 9" sub base with 3" black top plus a seal coat. Also, there must be curbs and gutters. The concensus of the P&Z Board was that Mr. Tagg would have to abide by existing codes. Mr. Hamacher and Mr. LeTender appeared in behalf of the Skyline Auto Body Shop and presented plans for an addition to the present structure to be used as a paint room. Mr. Van Housen's letter was read approving the plans. The specs for the venting of the paint room was not on the plans. This was questioned and the Board was told that the venting was controlled by the St. Paul Fire Marshall and the Industrial Commission. Mr. Shearen moved to recommend to the Coucil approval of the permit with stated additions; To meet specifications of Village and State Building Codes including frost footings for the slab; Plumbing permit to be obtained for the roughed in plumbing to be installed; paint room specs provided and approved by proper authority. Seconded by Mr. Kelling. Motion carried. Mr. McLean read a letter from Mr. Hutchinson referring toroth filling pro- cess. There can be no more fill hauled in; the present fill must be covered with dirt and seeded. Mr. Hamacher and Mr. LeTender had also received a copy of the letter and stated that there would be no more fill hauled in and they would cover- and seed the present fill as required. They will also install a blacktop driveway and pa ling area. This is in compliance with the orignal plans. Since this will privately owned and maintained it does not have to meet specifications for Village roads, They will try to have the necessary specs and information ready for the July 24th Council meeting, Mr. Youngbauer appeared regarding a variance request. He would like to install a beauty salon in a private residence to be located on Birch Street. His plans to build the new homes hinges on whether or not be can get a variance or special use permit for the salon. He cannot tie up a lot of money in plans and specifications that would be useless to him without the permit. The Board was against rezoning commercial, but would consider a special use permit. Mr. Youngbauer was told he would need plat and building plans; a variance for less that 2 -1/2 acres; planned usage of the land; consent of the neighbors. He was also told that if WI obtained a special use permit, and in the future the neighbors objected, that the special use permit could be revoked. He said the shop would be a solo operation and that there would probably be no more that 2, maybe 3 cars there at any one time. Mr. Kelling moved to recommend to the Council serious consideration for approval of a special use permit at such time as Mr. Youngbauer presented plat and building plans; plans for parking and access to highway; and approval of neighbors. Seconded by Mr. Hill. Motion carried. Mr. Tom King, Mr, Don Rich and Mr. Steinhouse presented their plans for the property on 24th Avenue North (the old Qualle farm). Theywould use the property to develop and operate a private boarding, trng and schooling stable to be known as Carriage House Stables. The woul existing buildings, upgrading the present barn to be used for housing horses at the present. Mr. King would use the present house for a residence, they will build a new arena and later add box stalls for the horses. The remainder of the 60 acres will be used for crops such as corn or hay. The area to the North,where the creek is located,will be left as is for the present,but in the future they would like to upgrade it into some sort of a park; possiably for public use. The stable would be used for the training and boarding of horses privately owned) and for riding lessons. The horses are trained for appearance in large horse shows such as the State Fair. They would hold one large show per year for the stables with no admission charge since it would be mostly a get together for the people who own the horses. There would be smaller get togethers for the younger riders during the year but these would not be considered a show since they would be for the children, their parents and friends. Mr. Karth moved that the P&Z recommend to the Council to approve special use permit for the training and boarding of horses and riding lessons with one Major non - admission charge show per year on the premises. This is contingent upon presentation of site and arena structure plans and legal description of property. Also, with proper approval of Planner and Engineer. Seconded by Mr. Shearen. Motion carried. It was also suggested that Mr. King get approval of adjoining neighbors. Mr. McLean noted that the Sign Code for the Village had not been certified and urged the Council to contact the Attorney and get the Sign Code certified immediately. Mr. McLean would like to set a target date for the completion of the Compreshensive Plan. He suggested that they have a special meeting in August for ideas to consider at the September meeting and finish by the October meeting. This seemed agreeable with the Board. Mr. McLean read a letter from Mr. Hutchinson to Mrs. Lillian Wilson concern- ing the filling of her property on Lake Drive. She was advised that as of now the filling must atop. This was the same as the one mailed to the Skyline Auto Body. The sign request for an 100' sign for Skelly was discussed. The feeling of the Board was that Skelly has adequate advertisement before the exit and a 100' sign is unnecessary. Mr. Sheren moved to recommend to the Council to allow only a 65' sign for Skelly. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried. 3- Mr. Tagg's request for a 100' sign was discussed. Mr. Tagg stated that where the sign is loacted there are some 60' trees and a 65' sign would not be seen soon enough for the traffic to be separated before the interchange. He said he would prefer not to put up a 100' sign but could see no altern- ative. Mr. McLean suggested to Mr. Tagg that he contact the Outpost on the possiability of sharing their sign. It could possiably be enlarged to give adequate advertisement space for both at the same location. Mr. Tagg agreed to this and said he would check into it. Mr. Hill recommended that the Council take a look at the cut -off at the intersection of Old Highway 8 and Main Street. He felt that Stop signs should be installed at both ends or it should be fenced off so as to be impassable. He felt that the present situation is a traffic hazard. Mr. Hill also reported that there will be Federal Funds available for bridge repair and upgrading and suggested that the Council check into this. Mr. Shearen moved to adjourn at 10 :35. Seconded by Mr. Kelling. Aye.
