MAY 21, 1973 ^A Regarding the Tom Perzichille Special Use Permit, the commission recommends it be approved after the McCullough property goes through a minor subdivision. Tom Perzichille must also get a land survey, which he is in the process of doing. It was stated that the Fischer Mining Permit comes up for renewal on June 189 1973, and the Deputy Clerk was instructed to send them a letter informing Fischer of this, and that they should appear at the Planning Commission meeting June 19, 1973. On the subject of mining permits, Mayor Carlson said he would like them and also junk yard licenses to go before the Planning Commission for their recommendations before coming to the Council. Dan Spitzer thought this would be a very good idea. He also stated that they had made an amendment to their by—laws, stating agenda items for the Planning Commission should be given to the Secretary by the Friday preceeding the meeting night. Larry Furlong appeared before Council concerning approval of a subdivision to be called Royalhaven Estates 2nd Addition, and discussion was held between Furlong and his partner, the Council, Engineer, and Dan Spitzer. Spitzer said the Planning Commission recommmded approval with certain conditions, one of which being that Lot #20 should be given to the Village as park land. Motion made by Lease, seconded by Bjorum to approve Royalhaven Estates 2nd Addition subject to conditions in a contract to be written up by the Village Attorney and Engineer. Motion carried. Motion made by LaValle and seconded that Village accept deed for Out Lot A of Royalhaven Estates 1st Addition subject to clearance of any liens or mortgages. Motion carried. Recess called at 9:00 PM. Called back to order at 9:20 PM. Regarding the Village Sewer System, Don Lease reported the Sewer Committee has been meeting weekly to work on the Sewer and Water Ordinance, and they should be able to finish after talking with the Engineer, Plumbing Inspector, and Attorney. They would like the Engineer to attend the sewer meeting Thursday of this week. Lease also stated that Howard is drawing up specs for bidding. Engineer Kuusisto reported that he and Road Superintendent Jerry Dube had worked out a 1973 road plan for maintenance. Howard had with him a map showing county roads, roads already worked on, and those to be worked on this year which he showed to Council. He had also had brought a written street maintenance plan and cost estimates. Don Lease suggested that Howard work out a priority system, as the road budget is approximately $19092 and Howard's cost estimate was $71,610. Howard also requested from Council authorization to purchase oil for dust control purposes on village roads. Motion made by Bjorum, seconded by LaValle to authorize Road Department to purchase 1,000 gallons of MC oil for dust control on roads proposed by the Engineer at a maximum cost of $500.00. Motion carried. A spokesman for Doris Mikeworth appeared regarding approval of a land division. Mayor Carlson stated he would like divisions of land to go to the Planning Commission before going to the Council. (all parcels of land to be divided) Motion made by Carlson, seconded by LaValle to refer land division of Doris Mikeworth to the Planning Commission for their recommendations. Motion carried. (Charles Schubat was asked to come in to the Clerk's office and get a checklist before going to the Planning Commission) Mayor Carlson stated work should be started soon on a 1974 Budget and also a 5 Year Budget. The subject of Revenue Sharing came up and Lease, Bjorum, and LaValle stated that they were opposed to spending the funds for a new fire truck, as the Village had already gotten permission to bond for it. The report for planned use of revenue sharing funds has to be mailed out of the Clerk's office by June 20, 1973 and failure to do so could result in withholding of future payments. Mayor Carlson stated that the central business district seems to be decaying rather than making improvements. If this should happen, the central village plan, according to the comprehensive plan will fail. Eugene Peltier, president of the Hugo Businessmen's Associa— tion said it is a case of private economics-whether a businessman can afford improvements or not. He said the association had discussed the same problem, but solving it is not so easy. Don Lease questioned if it was easy to get money from the Hugo bank, and Peltier
