TAUER SPECIAL USE PERMIT
Mr. Ehret read letter subj*itted from the Sanitary Engineering

sewer disposal system. Mir. Ehret also read report submitted from
the Planning Department.
An attorney representing Mr. Tauer said he takes acception to many
of the things ix Schwab' s report: Mr. Tauer was not asked to furnish
any specific plans and he did furnish everything he was asked.
Original plans included the apartment. The comprehensive land use
Plan is not in effect yet. He felt Schwab' s report was totally
inadequate and unfair and it should be disregarded.
Mr. Welch discussed the reasonings of Mr. Schwab' s report.
Spitzer explained the Comprehensive Plan and the background of the
Tauer's request for a Special Use Permit.
The real problem is do they want a multiple family dwelling ix a
rural area.
Tauer's Attorney - The basic purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is
for future uses, and this is something that is in existanee. He
feels they haven't destroyed anything in this area and doesn' t think
its going to destroy the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Motion made by Spitzer, seconded by Rosenquist, that the Tauer
Special Use Permit be recommended for denial as it does not conform
to the Comprehensive Plan and none of the purposes contemplated by
the Comprehensive Plan would be served by this request.

Mr. Kirscht stated that they had done a field survey of the property
and they had contacted Mr. Kuusisto's office and they furnished the
information requested. He worked with the Rice Creek Watershed and
they came up with a plan to drain the water into a low area and then
depend of percolation. The plan has not been submitted to the City
Engineer. Twenty percent at the :;most would be paved in the golf
course area. Shallow ditches could be used for drainage and catch
basins could be put in xt1 a .lateT;Alate.
Schletty didn't go along with their drainage plan.
Kirscht said they could keep the water on their property by grading.
.
A new lighting proposal was submitted which would be double the cost
bt 1/3 the operating cost. The light bulb is in the housing,
g' no
refractors,
with adjustable reflectors. They will guarantee that
the neighbors will not see the light source. There will be 25'
poles on the sides with a 40' pole ix the center.
A question was asked whether they were going to have security
lighting. They haven't considered this aspect but they would
do what the City required.
They would like to stage this development.
A discussion was held on delineated turf or crushed rock versus
asphalt walk.
No fill will be used, just grading.
Welch said they needed a detailed plant list because landscaping
was recommended to be within one year and there would not be any
way to check to see that it was completed. Kirscht said they
didn't have a list because with the new lighting the shrubbery
plan is changed.
