Members present: Dreher, Grace, Johnson, Novak, Lundquist, Lyons, Sovereign, and Williams(9:30). Minutes of Meeting of November 26, 1974 The minutes of the meeting of November 26 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting and the Special Informational Meeting of the City of Lake Elmo were approved with no corrections. Robert & Irene Lang and Mack A. & Janet R. Nettleton - Petition for Vacation of Lots on Lake DeMontreville Present were Robert and Irene Lang (petitioners), and Harry Zabrok, Mr. Townsend and Ken Sovereign (protestors from the Lake DeMontreville area). A number of people were present regarding the petition of Lang and Nettleton to vacate shoreline on four lots Mr. Lang owns on Lake DeMontreville. The people who want to purchase the 80'X200' property want title to the beach and that is why Mr. Lang is asking that the beach be vacated. In an action of the Town Board in 1969 several accesses to the beach and about two-thirds of the lots on Lake DeMontreville and Lake Olson were vacated. Mr. Townsend stated that he is against the vacation because the people that own the property already have access. (He owns Lots 665-668.) Mr. Zabrok stated that he is against vacating any public beaches and public accesses in LANE'S DEMONTREVILLE COUNTRY CLUB ADDITION. (He owns 16 lots on Lake DeMonteville.) He protested the vacation of the lots on Lake DeMontreville that were vacated in 1969. He stated the group of protestors had an attorney and thought that the attorney had not been notified of the final action taken to vacate in 1969. He wants no further vacation of public beaches and public accesses and says that the lots that were vacated in 1969 were vacated without any just renumeration -- served many and then were given to a few. Mr. Zabrok also stated that there were few police problems on public beaches and public accesses that were vacated in 1969. He said the sheriff's records were checked at that time and only one complaint was registered and that took place on a public road. Mr. Sovereign stated that he is against the vacation of these lots for several reasons. Motion by Jan Sovereign, second by Johnson, that the PZC recommends that the petition for the vacation of Lots 669 thru 672, inclusive, be denied.
