VOTING FOR: LaValle, McAllister, Schletty, Vail MOTION CARRIED 5.6 Wally Otto - Site Plan Approval Mr. Otto owns 5 acres and has a Contract for Deed on 12 acres in the AG zone, and would like to construct a 40 x 90 pole barn to be used for agricultural purposes. The barn would be located on the 5 acre parcel (separate deeds) . MOTION: LaValle made motion, seconded by Schletty, to approve the Site Plan for Wally Otto. LaValle withdrew his motion. There was much discussion regarding the purchase of 12 acres from the Benson Kennel property by Mr. Otto. McAllister felt that the balance of land should be kept in- tact to coincide with the required Special Use Permit. The Planning Commission recommended approval because they interpreted the ordinance to read that 3600 sq ft would be allowed in the AG zone. Mr. Barbour had never approached the city for approval of Land Division to sell the 12 acres to Mr. Otto. Attorney Johnson suggested that the city call in the fee owner to obtain authority from them, if there are going to be restrictions on the land. Mr. Otto stated that there are lots for sale lying along County Road 8A, and the Mayor was of the opinion that city approval had never been granted. Attorney Johnson stated that if he meets requirement for Land Division (12 acres) , a deed could be reviewed based on a Certificate of Survey. The question is whether the Special Use Permit was based on certain acreage; you could be looking at action to revoke the permit. MOTION: McAllister made motion, seconded by Schletty, to table this matter until the meeting of April 6, 1981 , at 7:45 PM. Messrs. Barbour and Benson, along with fee owners involved, are to be sent registered letters stating that we will be conducting a special review of the Special Use Permit on that date and request they attend.

The Mayor touched briefly on the history of the industrial park, and stated that the con- struction of 130th Street does not change the plat of the park, it is only an addition. Mr. Keller did not feel the proposed storm sewer improvement would • J March 16, 1981 eliminate the surface water problem on his property. The Mayor explained the details of the improvement, and Mr. Keller stated that he had misread the plan, and felt that the proposed improvement, as explained, would alleviate the pro- blem. Mr. Keller would like to construct another business on the southern 4 acres of the KLK property. Keller was not aware that there was access to that back property, along an easement to the west of KLK. In order to divide the 4 acres, a Minor Subdivision and Site Plan Approval would be required. Mayor LaValle was willing to work with Mr. Keller to try and remedy whatever problems he may have. 5.8 Jayson Knoph (A & W) - Licenses MOTION: LaValle made motion, seconded by McAllister, to grant a CIGARETTE AND SOFT DRINK LICENSE, to Jayson Knoph, Hugo A & W, in the amount of $11 .00.
