C :OCTOBER 21 , 1974 Motion made by Lease, seconded by Martin to grant a Mobile Home Permit to Lloyd J. Johnson. 13005 Ingersoll Avenue under Section II, Paragraph D, Oneka Ordinance 0 8, and this is to include a separate septic tank and drainfield. Motion carried. Bruce Folz appeared on behalf of Oak Vista Estates. He said they had re- vised the plan so all lots would have 165 foot frontage, and they dropped one lot to do this. Joseph Rivard, the attorney for Oak Vista, said these people were before the planning commission and council several times and have tried to comply with what the council wanted. He said the width problem has been solved, and the cul-de-sac is only temporary by the very nature of the layout of the plat. Lease said the council feels the cul-de-sac is permanent, because there is no other way out. The council had suggested they plat only part of this at one time, but the same plats keep coming back. Leroux mentioned the cul-de-sac is longer than the Ordinance states it can be. Attorney Johnson said there is no ultimate plan to tie into any other street, so it can't be considered temporary. Folz said they did try to comply with phasing and were denied, and the terrain doesn't permit the road being placed in any different area. This land is hilly and has plenty of timber, and they are trying to preserve the area in this plan. He said the 600 feet mentioned in the Ordinance dates back when there were no wide roads and fire equipment couldn't get in in case of fire, or trees would block the roads in storms. Here there would be a 66 foot road, which should be no problem. Lease, Leroux, and Smith felt they might agree to phasing of the plan, but Martin, felt this would gain nothing, as the last phase would still have the 600 foot cul-de-sac. It was noted that the planning commission had approved the first plan, where the road went out to Grant Township. Police Chief Barth appeared for a discussion on whether he would be named police chief rather than acting chief. Motion made by Lease, seconded by Martin to appoint Robert Barth police chief for the City of Hugo. Motion carried. Motion made by Martin and seconded to table the Wilbur Schuman Junk Yard License until Mr. LaValle has up to date information and progress on the matter. Motion carried. Clerk Burkard mentioned some thought should be given on repealing the old Dance Ordinance. Recess called at 9:07 PM. Back to order at 9:18 PM. Motion made by Lease, seconded by Martin to have Mr. Johnson draw up an or- dinance repealing the Ordinance A-31 and effective date of repeal to be December 31 , 1974. Motion carried. Clerk Burkard mentioned that the HUD Grant required a contract with an auditing firm when the sewer construction is 50 % complete, and the council should think about this. Mayor Lease felt the council should meet on the sewer assessments causing problems some morning and then meet with the people the same afternoon an' explain the situation to them. Motion made by Lease, seconded by Leroux to have a special meeting on October 24th at 10:00 AM and open the meetin4, between 1 :00 PM and 4:00 PM for discussion and objections from the floor. Motion carried.
