January 7, 1985 Mr. Puleo was informed that the illigal use will have to be terminated. VACANCY ON PLANNING COMMISSION The city received a letter from Arthur Potts indicating his resignation from the Planning Commission because of his recent election to the Council. Mr. O'Mara, present at the meeting, as well as John Granger, expressed their desire to serve on the Planning Commission. Howard Schletty submitted a letter indicating his interest. Because the Commission lacks "downtown" representation, it was the opi- nion of Mayor McAllister that Mr. Granger be selected. MOTION: McAllister made motion, Schwab seconded, to appoint John Granger to the Planning Commission to fill the seat vacated by Arthur Potts. Sole reason for appointment is that John Granger will be able to provide representation from the "old village area". AYE: Peltier, Schwab, McAllister NAY: Potts, Hauer Motion Carried. For the record, Potts voted "NO" because some of the other applicants may have more experience.

MOTION: Potts made motion, Hauer seconded, to reappoint George Atkinson to the Planning Commission for a four (4) year term. All aye. Notion Carried. MOTION: McAllister made motion, Potts seconded, that a court reporter be retained for the public hearing of February 6, 1985, 7:00 PM, a joint meeting of the City Council and Planning Commission, for consideration of the appli- cation of the White Bear Rod & Gun Club for reasonable decibel limits relative to their Special Use Permit. All aye. Motion Carried. 5.3 Sandy Borndale - Special Use Permit Ms. Borndale is proposing the construction of a 72 x 240 pole barn to be used as a riding arena and for boarding purposes. The Planning Commission recommended approval subject to a number of conditions. Ms. Borndale submitted a letter signed by some neighbors, stating they had no objection to the proposal. William O'Mara, neighbor directly to the north, was present, and strongly stated his opposition to the building construction because of: flies, increased traffic, devaluation of his property, and possible contamination of his well because of the high water table. Mayor McAllister stated that this type of operation is permitted in the zone, but would require a SUP because of the size of the building. MOTION: McAllister made motion, Peltier seconded, to table this matter until 1/9/85, setting an additional regular City Council meeting at 6:00 PM, to give further consideration to the application of Sandy Borndale for a SUP. All aye. Motion Carried.
