Motion Carried. 5.2 Mrs. Guion - Discussion of Shoquist Land Division Mrs. Guion, resident of May Township, was present to state the concerns of her and her neighbors that the Shoquist property will be filled and drain onto their property. Mr. Shoquist was present and stated that the two building sites are on high ground, and the proposed'extension of 169th Street would have to have a culvert for drainage. 18 March 7, 1983 A copy of a letter from the DNR was presented, and it indicated the possibility of a DNR permit. Mayor McAllister stated that the City Engineer will look into the matter and comment at a later meeting date. The property lies within the Carnelian Watershed, and permits may to be obtained from them. MOTION: McAllister made motion, Peltier seconded, to table the matter and ask that Howard Kuusisto take a look at the property and to report to the City Council of any potential storm water damage that could be caused to May Township by issuance of building permits to either of these parcels. This report will be submitted for the meeting of 4/18/83. All aye. Motion Carried. 5.3 Esther Weigel - Reconstruction of the Silver Spur Saloon Mr. Dave Weigel was present and stated that a final report as to the structural soundness of the four walls would not be available from Twin City Testing until March 8th. The Building Inspector submitted a report of his inspection, and questioned the sturdiness of the north wall. However, if Twin City Testing approved the north wall, he would comply with their decision. The building was considered a legal non-conforming use, and if the Weigel's do not alter the dimensions pre- viously existing, and the capacity of the building (approx 175) , then a Site Plan is all that would be required. If they plan on intensifying the business, a Special Use Permit would be required. McAllister suggested that the following be considered when reviewing the application: 1. Possibility of Rice Creek Watershed permit. 2. Access and egress to property. 3. Parking lot surface and number of spaces. 4. No increase in seating capacity. MOTION: Vail made motion, Peltier seconded, requesting the Planning Commission to add Esther Weigel to their agenda for their meeting of 3/9/83. All aye. Motion Carried.

Motion Carried. 5.4 Richard Vail - Disc on Shamrock Glen Mr. Vail was present to request that the city delete the $90,000 subdivision bond requirement from the Development Agreement. It was his feeling that the $25,000 road bond and the case or Letter of Credit, in the amount $112,500.00, would be equivalent to 125% of the cost of the project. Mr. Vail was instructed to meet with Engineer Kuusisto regarding this matter, and will be discussed at the next meeting. 5.5 American Legion - Review of SUP MOTION: McAllister made motion, Peltier seconded, to table the matter until October 17, 1983, so that the water can be monitored for a full summer. All aye. Motion Carried. 19 March 7, 1983 5.6 Robert Burkard & Jim Wisner - Job Description Mr. Burkard and Mr. Wisner submitted job descriptions, along with the number of hours required, as previously requested. Mayor McAllister stated that the auditor required more accountability of time from the utility department, and it was his feeling that a timeclock would provide it. Mr. Wisner was present at the meeting (Mr. Bukard was on vacation) , and asked what he would consider a fair hourly wage if all his duties were blended. Mr. Wisner stated that he was not prepared at this time to provide that figure. Council representative Vail and Peltier did not feel a timeclock would accomplish accountability. MOTION: McAllister made motion, Atkinson seconded, that the City of Hugo purchase a timeclock, and that all employees, full-time, permanent part-time, and part-time use the timeclock and be paid bi-weekly, at an hourly rate as established by the City Council for each position. The timeclock system will go into effect May 1, 1983.
