This portion should be composed of Council dis- cussion and questions. Mrs. Olson has raised some questions regarding drainage and assessments which we will attempt to answer at the meeting. D -2 Mr. and Mrs. Morris signed a statement when issued their license stating that William Reeves, who had been denied a license earlier, had no financial interest in their liquor store. This has proved untrue and it is recommended that the license be revolted. Although the store is now closed, we do feel that this should not go unnoticed. Copies of reports dealing with the case are enclosed. H -1 A report from Mr. Kuusisto which outlines the history of this problem is enclosed. The Village agreed only to give Torseth a credit of "in the neighborhood of" $500. to offset the cost of a sump pump. Torseth now claims that a lift station to serve his property will cost over $7,000. (based on an estimate made June 9, 1969). H -2 24r. Kuusisto's report on this subject was distributed at the last meeting. H -3 The Mapleleaf Drive -In was, like Mr. Kock, over - assessed 52 feet. If the correction is made to Mr. Kock's assessment, a hearing date should be set for the drive -in also. H -4 If the project is found to be feasible, a hearing date should be established. H -5 This ordinance was discussed at the last meeting. It will expand rental licensing to all vehicle rental. We now only require a license for trailer rental. H -6 The Council voted to set a hearing for the Cope -White Bear rezoning, but we have yet to establish a date. January 14 (Thursday) is suggested. H -7 Continued from previous meetings. I -1 This is for the location which was vacated by Morris Liquors (see D -2). If that license is revoked, the application will be for a new license and a hearing date should be set. If the Morris license is not revoked, the application will be for a transfer and it should be referred to staff for review and report. I -2 The St. Paul Ski Club requests that the Village improve the "unimproved road being used as access to the Carver Lake Recreation Area." The Village has, in the past, plowed this road, but the condition of the street now prohibits plowing. The Village does not sponsor any events at this location and the organization is a private club. I -3 We have received plans (enclosed) for the apartment complex development north of the Edgerton Highlands complex. January 14th is suggested as a hearing date. I -4 Students from the University have requested permission to ride : {!ith our police officers as a research project. The students in question are mature and serious. They will sign a liability release prepared by the Village Attorney. Approval of the request is recommended. I -5 Enclosed is a report regarding plastic bags being sold by Ray's and Lake Sanitation. We are in the process of review- ing our existing regulations and will probably recommend some changes in our requirements. I -6 Village Ordinance provide for a Board of Adjustment composed of five members of the Planning Commission. Roger Singer and Gerald Mogren are the only two members of the present Planning Commission who are members of the Board. Their terms have now expired. Ordinance No. 238 states that "A Board of Appeals and Adjustments is hereby established for the purpose of hearing and determining appeals from decisions of administrative offici =l.s of Maplewood in matters relating to the enforcement of zoning ordinances; and for hearing and determining petitions for adjustment of conditions imposed by zoning or planning ordinances." Ordinance No. 208 provide for staggered three -year terms. If the mewl- )ership is to be reinstated members of the new Board should be appointed from the Commission on the basis of two for one year, two for two years and one for three years. Enclosed is a list of the Planning Commission membership and terms. I -7 To be presented at the meeting. OTHER I will present 1971 salary information under "Administrative Presentation."

PUBLIC HEARINGS 1, 11th Avenue Improvements: Mayor Axdahl stated the proposed storm sewer and street im- provements will be discussed first. a. Storm Sewer and Street 1. Gerald Splinter, Manager from North Saint Paul, sub- mitted to the Council a report explaining the background of the proposed development of Eleventh Street. Mr. Splinter read the following statement: - 1 - 12 -3 Maplewood Village Council December 3, 1970 St, Paul, Minnesota 55109 Page -3- With the above background presented for your information the Village of North St. Paul is taking the following position. The plans and specifications submitted to the Village of Maple- wood are adequate to serve the needs of the development being constructed in North St, Paul, Additional improvements to the intersection of White Bear and 11th Avenue will not be neces- sary until substantial development occurs in Maplewood abut- ting 11th Avenue, Our Traffic Engineer informs us after ad- ditional study of this intersection the present design signa- lized will be able to handle a 300% increase in volume on White Bear Avenue and a 500% increase in volume on 11th Avenue over those volumes presently anticipated at the time when this de- velopment opens. It does not appear prudent or economical at this time to change the alignment of proposed 11th Avenue or to provide right -of- way for turning lanes which would require the purchase of any of the residential homes in the area. The additional right - of -way needed for an expanded intersection design could be ac- quired at the time the abutting properties changed to their ultimate land use. It is further suggested that it is feas- ible to construct needed utilities in the boulevards without disturbing existing paving. At this time the Village of North St. Paul has been informed by the developers of the McKnight and Highway #36 commercial area that it will not participate in the purchase of rights - of -way other than that needed for the construction of 11th Avenue as shown in the plans and specifications submitted to the Village of Maplewood on August 21, 1970. Respectfully submitted, Gerald G. Splinter Village Manager 2. Manager Miller stated he has received proposals from two consulting engineering firms.
