Mr. McLean reviewed a Petition for rezoning presented by Naegle. Mrs.
Sarner had noted it was to be posponed because of illness. The consesess
of members was that a copy of this be sent to Mr. Locher, asking him to
give us some idea of what property is described, and also the relationship
between this request and the State Sign Code.
Mr. Marier noted he had discussed Forjay, on Hwy. 49, with Mr. Zeiinka. He
wi I I get the proper layouts, etc,, and bring them in for the P &Zs review
at a future meeting.
The State Code was finalized, Mr. Marier pointed out, but there is a lot
of controversy surrounding it, and the State is thinking about making
some more changes.
At the October 18th meeting Skyline Auto Body was discussed as regarding
their sale of grain dryers. Mr. Marier talked with Mr. Locher about it,
and he said as long as it is zoned commercial, which of course it is,
it is legal. No stipulation was made. Mr. McLean mentioned they are
storing components on the filled area in back. This situation could be
screened, but a complaint would really be necessary.
There was question as to the legal stipulations on a helicopter being
launched from a front yard right next to a highway. It was felt that a
permit would be needed for launching. Several instances of hovering in
open fields were discussed. Mr. Marier said he would discuss it with Mr.
Locher.
The fire arms ordinance was discussed. Mr. Locher had reviewed it, and
said that the ordinance allows shot guns, but no rifles or shot guns with
slugs. Target shooting is permitted, but NO solid shells, they are
prohibited in the Village limits. In order to do any hunting, permission
must be obtained from the property owner. It was noted that there are
people hunting in the Village with slugs. Mr. Marier said "No Deer Hunting"
signs are goint to be put up at the Village limits next to the Village
signs, but next year we will have to post.
Mr. Kel I ing said that years ago they had layed out an area, ,approximately
from Baldwin up Lake Drive, where no hunting at all was allowed.
Mr. Marier noted that letters wi i i be going out this week to 'some of the
residences where sign permits have not been obtained. Someone with a
clothing store in their home and Dick's Snowmobile Repair, on Main St.,
were two in question.
Mr. McLean noted that Acton had put ap a new identification sign.

Mr. McLean read a letter from the State of Minnesota Department of Highways, dated October 26th, 1972, regarding right -of -ways on Highway 49. It was
pointed out that a number of residents along 49 are actually landlocked. It was decided there isn't any action to be taken by the Board, this wasjustfortheirinformation.
Mr. Hill brought out the possibility of having snowmobile clubs hand out
literature telling people to stay out of posted fields and ask for permissionbeforecrossingproperties. He noted a farm next to him where signs havebeenpostedbecauseofanalfalfafield. Mr. Marier said he would mentionthistotheDrifters, inasmuch as they have been most cooperative in thepast.
The Comprehensive Plan was discussed briefly. The Clerk was asked to haveMr. Van Housen attend the next meeting to get at the preliminaries. This
will be a work meeting. Mr. Marier pointed out there is money in thebudgetforbrochures, If the sewer becomes a reality, we should have thisPlanfirst. It was suggested that the agenda be kept at a minimum.
Mr. Marier pointed out that it has been suggested that the EnvironmentalCommissioncombinewiththeP &Z for meetings. The general consensus was
that meetings would be too long, there would be too many members to deal
effectively, there would be too many subjects to handle. Mr. Shearen
moved to recommend that the Environmental Group stay as a separate entityfromP &Z. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Carried unanimously.
Mr. Shearen moved to adjourn at 8:45 P. M. Seconded by Mr. Hill. Carried.
