Mrs. Veronica :rombi.e appeared and objected to the proposed rezoning as agrictiltnral. Under an agriceltural zoning, a five acre rrir. rem lot s ze world be required and Mrs. Crombie stated this wonid cause considerable financial hardship in developing the land.

It was recommended that Mr. Lenz have the nlat redrawn to combine 2 lots into one to make lots of approximately 5/6 of an acre, which in view of the circumstances should be acceptable.

The land is a 2i- acre parcel on the South West corner of Bergman's Addition. It appears the land has existed as a separate parcel since 1947, and therefor unless there are other problems such as elevation or drainaee, a building perrrit could be issued. Mrs. Alfred of 2660 Shore Drive has inquired of Mr. x'rie drich about constructing a garage on her lot. Because the house is set back on the lot nearer the lake, -t would be necessary to construct the garage between the road arri the house. It was noted that the lot is substandard in size being P7 feet wide at the road and 37 feet wide at the lake. The Planning Commission recommends that Mrs. Alfred brim in a sketch showing the plan. The proposed development of Minnehaha Avenue was reviewed. Leo Raleigh moved that no access to Minnehaha between 694 and the new north south county road that connects to the 12-94 interchange, be permitted. The motion was seconded and carried. The proposed plan for highway 94 through the village were reviewed, the proposed interchange at County Road 19 was discussed. Bruce Folz moved that we recommend to the Council that no change be requested in the location of the rroposed " ounty Road 19 interchange, since that location best suits the needs of the village, this i.nterchaelge provides good spacing of interchanges within the village, if the inter- change is to be moved it is possible it would not be redesigned in time to be included with the Highway 94 construction, and the economic problems of land acquisition are not peculiar to this site but would be present at any alternate site. The Motion was seconded and carried. The proposed gravel ordinance was discussed. It was decided to defer acton until the next meeting, when some of the interested parties would like to be heard. The minutes of the previous meeting were rev ewed. Correction requested of the spelling of "cemetery" in the second paragranh on the First page and in the 3rd. paragraph on the second page. Bruce Folz moved that the minutes be approved as corrected, seconded and carried. Mr. James Schultz appeared. He is interested in purchasing part of Lot 4, Block 3 in Lake E1mo Perk. It was noted the lot is R5 feet by 250 feet. Mr. Schultz would like to locate his house on the narrow part of the lot. It was noted it would then face a 40 foot street, which does not allow ''or location of sewer. It was recommended that Mr. Schultz explore the possibility of purchasing additional property to the rear of the lot to give it the proper depth. It was noted that the new lot should be platted. There being no further business to come before the Planning Commission the meeting was adjourned at 11:20 p.m. Respectfully Submitted Esther M. Tomljanovich Acting Secretary
