April 28, 1975
Councilman Baumgartner said he would abide by Rice Creek Watershed rules and
regulations.
Councilman Shelquist feels since there is development all around the lake, Mr.
Hillsdale has agreed to meet the average setback along Spring Lake Road, the
neighbors do not object to his building a house, there is no city ordinance
governing setback from the lake, if Rice Creek Watershed grants the request, he
will vote to approve the subdivision request.
Councilman Pickar said he was reluctant about the setback being out of line with
other homes on the lake, but will vote for approval if Rice Creek Watershed
approves. Mr. Hillsdale presented a list of his neighbors indicating no objection
to the construction.
Councilman Hodges feels that since the water table is 8 feet, there should not be
a water problem. He indicated he would go along with the subdivision request.
Mayor Johnson said he would approve the request if Rice Creek Watershed approval
can be obtained.
Engineer Bearden commented that Rice Creek Watershed and municipalities could
regulate such matters but such regulationw ould have to be a least as restrictive
as the State's.
Mayor Johnson recommend Al Hillsdale go to Rice Creek Watershed on May 14 and then
come back to Council. If Rice Creek Watershed turns him down, possilby Mr. Hillsdale
could come up with another solution to alleviate his tax problem. One possibility
would be to donate his lake frontage to the city.
Mayor Johnson announced that a Bicentennial meeting will be held April 29, 1975,
at city hall.

Construction Co., heating /air conditioning - Air Conditioning Associates; sewer ,
water - Commercial Utilities,; cigarette, off -sale intoxicating liquor - Robert
D. Bell, Booze Marts Inc.
Mayor Johnson asked if all the licenses had been processed through the normal
channels. Administrator Achen said all except Mr, Bell, Booze Mart. The State

Attorney Meyers read the ordinance which states there must be 500 feet between the
property of any school or church. The distance is measured from the door to the
property line usually but the shopping center is a little different.
Mr. Paster said they had planned for this when they built the shopping center and
put the front door of the liquor store in the area closest to the westerly side
and he was sure that exceeded the 500 feet required.
Attorney Meyers said he was aware that Mr. Paster had planned for this a year ago
when he did the layout of the shopping center. Mr. Paster said he has the center
arranged so that no signs are visible drom the back or sides, only from the highway.
