PRESENT: Peloquin, Hanson, Greger, Lorch, McAllister, Peltier Tom Crever was also present. ABSENT: Houle Mr. Brevig is requesting to rezone his property from the RRII district to the SFE district. If approved, the property would be divided into one 3 acre parcel and one 2 acre parcel. A restrictive covenant would be drawn up to limit the propertytD only two lots. (HOULE ARRIVED AT 7:36 PM) The pert test provided had been reviewed by Howard Kuusisto and Tom Crever and met with their approval. Mr. Robert Waller, 14310 Homestead Avenue, stated that he objected to the public hearing notice not stating what the property was to be rezoned to. Mr. Waller wanted to have the dike resolved before any consideration was given to the rezoning. He also stated that a Mr. Bernard Hanson was not notified of the public hearing. Mr. Waller had no problem with the two building sites, but stated that the problem would be passed onto a new property owner. Mr. Jerome Hintz, 14077 Homestead Avenue, lives south of the Brevig property. He also felt that the water should be resolved before the land is divided into any new lots. Mr. Timothy Geck, attorney for Brevig, stated that Mr. Brevig wanted the dike removed from his property. He understood that the city would ultimately maintain the pond at a certain water level. Vern Peloquin wanted to know if Mr. et ig was using the dike problem as a lever to get a rezoning. Geck stated thatw fiey were looking for was a fair resolution of the problem for Brevig, the city, and adjoining property owners. Peloquin felt that another house would only intensify the problem. He stated that SCS in Stillwater has monies available to municipalities to help alleviate the costs to correct water problems. If they qualify, they would pay 75% of the project cost. McAllister asked Geck if his client would be willing to sell the easement to the city and leave the land in one parcel. Geck stated that they had not considered that alternative. They had felt that the rezoning was the best solution. Hintz felt that a rezoning would not take care of any problem. The new land owner would take over the problem. He said that he had fought to get the dike in to keep the water off his property. He contended that the dike was on the original plan. George Atkinson, 14214 Homestead Avenue, lives north of the Brevig property. He agreed that the dike matter should be resolved before any rezoning is approved.
