-7- should be addressed at a p.ublic .hearing. Mr... Berg, however, felt that issue had been discussed at the City. Council meeting of April 27th and that the consensus then was slatting of the fence was not required. Motion carried unanimously. Robert J. Klukas , Terry Schuster and Gary P4yre, representing Group "W" (Westinghouse)_ Cable T.V.. who .had bought out Teleprompter., were present to introduce themselves .to the Commission members and to discuss the system construction schedule with them. Mr... Schuster, General Operating Manager of the company, answered Mr. Bjorklund' s questions related to placement of the trunk lines by telling him the cable lines will be attached to 'existing utility poles and in. all cases, the cable .lines will be at least 12 inches above telephone lines . -Mr. P2yre , Construction . Coordinator, said the plans call for putting cable lines . underground only where other utility lines are underground or in new developments . The Chairman advised himthis would be in conflict with the City 's Comprehensive Plan which requires any new utility lines to be put underground and suggested ' he confer with Mr. Berg about the differences since the Administrative Assistant is very knowledgeable about cable , having served on the City 's Cable Committee . Mr. Bjorklund left the meeting at 10 : 21 P.M. Mr. Schuster told Mr. Zawis.lak .any- owner. of a television set which has • Channel 3 on it would be ab.le ..to. pick up any of the 80 channels which would be available when the service is in. He also told how the cable company would handle access to. apartmen.t complexes and property which does not have utility lines . He gave a short history of himself and his family telling the Commission members he has bought a home in New Brighton .and would always be available to discuss any questions they might have related to the new system. Although no one.-had appeared to provide input into the consideration of the Midland Park Addition platting, it was agreed that .Mr. Berg had provided adequate background material for a recommendation , and the public hearing was reopened at 10 : 34 P.M. Mr. Berg explained the replatting is a continuation of a process which was apparently dropped .two years. ago by the proponents without final platting being accomplished. He. said the 60 foot land transfer is from a part of -the T. K. Gray parking lot to- the Midland Office Building property and. the platting is necessary to correct the legal inconvenience of having a lot line running through the office building and for tax purposes . The hearing was closed at 10 : 35 P.M. Motion by Mr. Zawislak and seconded by Mr. Bowerman to recommend Council approval of the preliminary platting of Lots 3 and 4 , Block 2 , St. • Anthony Office Park Addition: (also identified as 2817 Anthony Lane South) as the Midland Park Addition which would combine two lots and officially transfer a 60 foot 7. 212 . 46 foot tract of land to the westerly abutting property.
