The minutes of the November 12, 1968 meeting were read and corrected with the following: Page 1, paragraph 9, added at end--This acceptance in no way implies that permits for model homes can be issued. Page 2, paragraph 2, 440 Mr. L'Allier stated that Mr. Hill had indicated that having deficit balances in the funds posed no problem and was ac- ceptable in practice. Mr. Locher said that transfers could be made at the end of the year and that this posed no legal problems. Page 2, paragraph 9 -- add the work 'tax' before forfeit. Mr. L'Allier stated thatuembers of the Planning and Zoning Board had complained that they had had no chance to see the corrected Jandric plat before the Council had ac- cepted it. He then read from Section 5, page 41 of the code book and stated that the P&Z would have opportunity to see it before the final plat was acted upon. Mr. Rosen- gren then moved to accept the minutes as corrected. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. The Planning and Zoning Board minutes of November 20 were read. Mr. Richard Freitag of Anderson-Freitag, Inc., Real Estate and Mr.Molin of Concrete Products Company (Flexicore) were present to request a rezoning of some 55 acres at the corner of Lilac and Fourth to commercial in order that Mr. Molin could set up a new plant at that site. To the question of a dust problem they replied that any dust could be expected to settle within 30 minutes of the cement being dumped and that it would stay confined to their property unless there was a strong wind. Broken pieces unuseable would be piled up and hauled out once yearly. There would be no noise outside the building. The plant which should be ready by fall, would eventually phase out the present operation and is a brand new set-up. The building to be started will be 160' by 100' by 20' high and will have a septic tank and well system for employees. Mr. Dennis Houle stated that this was the type of business which we need. It will be nec- essary for Molin to check with the State Highway Department as to the load limits and the Engineer will require soil tests. They were informed of the rezoning costs and acknowledged same. Mr. Jaworski then moved that public hearings be set for Mr. Molin for rezoning as follows: the Planning and Zoning Board will hear him on December 18 and the Council will conduct a hearing on December 23rd. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. Mr. Kenneth Wahl, field supervisor for the Rural Cooperative Power Association of Elk River was present to request a 75 foot easement for a 230 KV line to cross the Lino Park property. This would be carried on single pole steel towers 85' high, giving 26-27' clearance, Therer.was much discussion of such lines following property lines, raising the clearance, lowering property values, possibility of selling this commercial property in the future, running the line under-ground and switchover of power in case of emergency. Mr. Wahl stated that the line was running from Coon Rapids to a step- down substation at Hugo and then to Rush City. This would be inter-connected with NSP and Minnesota Power and Light Company. Since Mr. L'Allier strongly opposed the easement as proposed and thought that RCPA should try to come up with an alternative route Mr. Rosengren moved that the matter be turned over to the P&Z on December 18 and back to the Council on December 23rd. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. Mr. and Mrs. Leo Dohmen requested a variance on a lot less than 2 1/2 acres on Peltier Lake, Mr. Locher examined the maps closely, mentioning that the legal description might be affected if the St. Paul Waterworks should sell their waterfront holdings.

Mr. Jaworski stated that the Park Board had recommended that a hockey rink be con - structed at Sunrise Park at the suggestion of Centennial School's hockey coach in or- der to organize a hocky league. There was much discussion of cost and future expansion; pleasure skaters would have access to the rink when not being used for hockey at scheduled times; this would definitely be for the use of children in the school district as well as in Lino Lakes. Mr. Jaworski then moved that we spend approximately $900 to build a hockey rink at Sunrise Park utilizing volunteer labor. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously.

After discussion Nr. Bohjanen moved to adopt the above resolution. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Motion carried with Mr. L'Allier voting no as he felt that this was giving a blank check to the future District and would not give proper repre- sentation for oArVillage. Copies will be sent to the Rice Creek Association and to Commissioner Robert Burman. Mr. Eugene Blomquist queried the fees which had been sent him regarding Blomquist Addition. Mr. Locher stated that such developments are for the benefit of the developer and therefore he should be required to pay the fees incurred rather than all taxpayers in the Village paying for his benefit.
