developed completely. Improvements constructed internally (within the
site) would be paid for by the developers. Mr. Peterson further sug-
gested that no action be taken until after their Special Use Permit

Councilwoman Olson stated that at Monday nights meeting, she brought up
the question as to whether a 701 application had been filed. At that
time, she was told no, iAt the meeting of December 18, 1969, Councilman
Holm introduced a resolution regarding applying for 701. The resolution
passed, ayes -all. She does not recall this motion ever being rescinded
or the Council being asked to rescind this motion, and she would like to
know on what directson this application was not sent in.
Manager Miller stated he was not aware of any application or any order
to make application to the Federal Government and he doesn't know if
at any time between December 18, 1969 and the present time if any order
was made to rescind the motion.
Councilwoman Olson said that this Council has been derelict in its' duty
by failing to find out about the '701'. She assumed it had been taken
care of. The State Planning Office has no indication of anything coming
from the Village of Maplewood regarding this, since they were out here
dur ngrthe:vdar.. No one from Administration should have taken it upon
themselves to not apply unless they came back to this Council and asked
for that motion to be rescinded and to her knowledge it has never come
up at all.
Manager Miller suggested staff be allowed to research the matter and
write a written report to be submitted at the next Council meeting.
Councilman Wiegert moved to request the staff to submit a report for the
next meeting.
