ADDENDUM TO THE AGENDA
Meeting 71 - 51
I T_ E M
D -1* The first hearings were inadvertently scheduled for 8:00 o'clock;
therefore, it is suggested that you proceed with your other
business until. that time and then return to the original order
of the agenda. The Horner Construction Company was responsible
for the open excavation located at 659 Roselawn. The excavation
was made in violation of our setback requirements and the con-
tractor was so advised on September 21, 1971. On October 19,1971
Mr. Horner was advised that nothing had been done to correct the
situation although the staff had been advised by Mr. Tom Horner
on September 24th that work would begin on the excavation during
the first part of the following week. On October 19, 1971 the
Horner Company was ordered to close the open excavation by the
Village Administration. The Horner Company took no action, and
on November 4 the Council ordered the work done at Village
expense and the costs charged back to the Horner Company. It
is felt that the failure of the Horner Company to respond to
orders of the Village, the manner in which the work under the
control of the Horner Company was executed at 659 East Roselawn
and the failure of the Horner Company to notify the Village of
the expiration of a required insurance policy are grounds for
suspension of that company's Village license.
D -2* Mr. and Mrs. Thomas DeCorsey have requested permission to
operate a beauty shop in an existing residential home located
at 2244 MctMenemy. The home is located north of County Road B
and south. of Highway 36. The property in question is zoned
R -1 (single family dwelling). This zoning classification does
allow for offices of a professional person, an art studio,
photography studios or other artistic pursuits when conducted
in the residence or accessory building of the resident when a
special permit is issued by the Village Council. It is
recommended that this request be denied due to the fact that
the proposed use is of purely a commercial nature and does not
meet the requirements of the zoning regulations. Drawings of
the floor plans are included in the agenda packet as is a
description of the operation prepared by the applicants.
D -3 The building plans for this location appear in item I -1.
D -4* William J. Kaufmann (163 N. Cleveland Avenue, St. Paul) requests
a variance of 10 feet from the minimum 30 foot setback require-
ment of the zoning regulations for his lot at the southeast
corner of Sylvan Street and Kingston Avenue. It is recommended
that the variance be granted for a period of nine months during
which time a building permit for a structure on the premises .
must be issued. The favorable recommendation is due to the fact
that surrounding homes in the area are built a minimum of 20
feet back from the property lines.
D -5 A report will be given at the meeting.
D -6 The applicant requests a transfer of the liquor license for
Maplewood Liquors. A report will be given at the meeting.
D -7 ** Mr. Wybierala appeared before the Council at its December 2nd
meeting, and disputed the fact that he was operating in
violation of Village Code requirements regarding maximum rates
for refuse collection service. Mr. Wybierala stated that he
felt he should be able to charge more than $12.50 for his pick-
up service, and that he should be able to sell bags larger than
the required maximum size of 32 gallons. This hearing has been
established to determine whether or not Mr. Wybierala's license
should or should not be permanently suspended. It is recommended
that unless Mr. Wybierala agrees to hold his charges in accordance
with the maximums established by the Village Council, that his
license be permanently suspended. In addition, it is recommended
that if he agrees to charge within the maximums established that
he refund or credit to those customers who have been charged in
excess of the maximum that amount over - charged.
H -1 This item was tabled until such time as a proper variance request
could be reviewed by the Board of Adjustment and Appeals.
Enclosed is a copy of the request from Mr. Roth for three
variances. A hearing date should be established.
H -2a* At your December 9th meeting you received a petition from a
number of citizens in the Hazelwood- Highway 36 area requesting
that the Council request that the Minnesota Highway Department
"install traffic signals on the east and west bound lanes of
Highway 36 at its intersection with Hazelwood Street ". When
this question was originally discussed the staff stated that
traffic signals at this location would result in a high
incidence of conjestion and accidents. Staff continues to
recommend that traffic signals not be located at this inter-
section.
H -2b* Enclosed is a copy of your resolution which was passed last
Thursday night. The staff would like your feeling relative to
an early referral of the English Street interchange to the
Metropolitan Council.
H -3 The State law which provides for a full -time municipal judge
for our municipal court states that it will become "effective
January 1, 1972 after its approval by the governing bodies of
the Village's of Maplewood, Vadnais Heights, Little Canada
and Gem Lake..." I have asked the Municipal Judge to be present
at the meeting to answer any questions you might have relative
to the operation of the Court_.
H -4* Sometime ago we provided you with requests for variances from
the requirement of sewer connections in accordance with the
Village Codes. Enclosed is a report regarding these requests.
Each of the requests have been personally investigated by the
Deputy Health Officer, Mr. Sailer. The Council is authorized
to grant deferments. The results of a study of our sewer
-2-
connections showed 1668 cases of violations of the ordinance
requirement of sewer connection within one year after available.
106 properties have now been brought into compliance, 15 are
requesting deferment, 5 are in outright violation and have
offered no excuse, 27 properties have been determined not to be
physically able to hook up and 15 are vacant properties.
H -5a* A supplemental agreement to the contract for construction of
Beam Avenue which allows for an increases contract amount of
$2,183.65. The increases are due to various changes in the
work contracted for. Approval is recommended.
H -5b Condemnation awards have been given on approximately 12 parcels
of property required for the construction of Beam Avenue. The
acceptance of the commissioners decisions is recommended. The
Council should determine if any of the awarded amounts should
be appealed. It is also possible that the amounts could be
appealed by the property ownsers; therefore, final authorization
of payment is not requested at this time.
H -6* The firm representing Superamerica Stations, Inc., have requested
reconsideration of your decision not to vacate Connor Street
between Duluth and TH 61. The reason for requesting reconsider-
ation is that the applicants feel that the plans of the Highway
Department do not include a plan which would require condemnation
of the land adjacent to Connor Street over Connor Street itself.
H -7* This project was completed last summer and final payment is
recommended.
H -8* The County Commission has authorized the Village to proceed with
the cleaning of Ditch No. 17. The Commission has requested an
additional crossing at White Bear Avenue and maintenance of an
existing pending area just north of Frost Avenue. The estimated
costs of the project is $50,000.00. A feasibility report was
submitted previously. A hearing date of January 20 is recommended.
I -1* This structure would have a full basement with a 6,021 square foot
gross floor area at ground level and 5,760 square foot gross floor
area in the basement. It will be utilized as a restaurant - lounge
with a seating capacity in the restaurant of 146 and in the
lounge of 78 on the first floor, and lounge and banquet rooms in
the basement with an unknown seating capacity. The plan proposes
33 less parking spaces than the minimum (161) spaces required by
our ordinances. A number of other inadequacies in the plan are
pointed out in the enclosed staff reports. It is recommended
that this building plan be referred back to the applicant to
prepare a revised site plan which is more functional and complies
with Village Codes. The staff agrees with the proposed type of
commercial use and would encourage a special exception from the
M -1 light industrial district zoning regulations.
I -2* Enclosed is the Building Official's report on repairs to be made
at the home which was partially destroyed by fire located at
1950 Atlantic. The home is a nonconforming use in a commercial
zone. The Code requires that repairs may be made but must result
-3-
in compliance with the Building Code. There are a number of
areas where variances will be requested by the owners.
Ida* In 1965 the Village vacated Lee Street from Skillman to Kenwood.
Due to the timing and the platting of Maplecrest Skillman was
at the time of the vacation was Echo Street; however, the
vacation resolution refers to Skillman Avenue. Ban -Con, Inc.,
the owners of this property, now request that you adopt a
correcting resolution stating that it was the intention of the
Council to correctly refer to Lee Street as running from Echo
Street to Kenwood Drive. The Village Attorney is reviewing
this request. In the spring of 1970 public hearings were held
on storm sewers in areas number one and number two. At that
time 270 of the property owners objected and the project was
denied. We have recently had renewed interest in this project
expressed to us. The original project proposed only storm
sewers, but we would propose to combine the street upgrading
with the storm sewer project due to the fact that approximately
200 of the project costs would be for street and shoulder
restoration (only cost would later be again necessary for street
construction), base work can be better done in conjunction with
storm sewer trench excavation, drainage structures would have
to be replaced if street upgrading took place at a later date,
an upgraded street section including curb and gutter is an
intrical part of efficient storm sewer collection, and streets
would only be torn up once resulting in less inconvenience to
the residents. It is recommended that a feasibility study be
ordered.
I -5* An amount of $20,000. has been budgeted for improvements to
the Battle Creek area. It is recommended that the services
of the Barr Engineering Company be utilzed to provide us with
a feasibility study in final plans for the project. The pro-
posed work is to be done at normal consulting engineer scale
with a maximum figure of $1,500.00. It is possible that the
findings may show that the budgeted amount is insufficient to
accomplish the full job. If this is the case we should consider
ordering a public hearing and assessing the drainage area for
the cost.
I -6* Transfers as recommended in our annual audit for the year 1970
are recommended in accordance with the enclosed resolution.
in addition the creation of one debt service fund from the
existing nine bond issues as per the audit is also recommended.
I -7* Francis Dreawves has announced his resignation from the
Planning Commission effective immediately. Mr. Dreawves was
appointed for a full three year term which expires December 31,
1974. A replacement should be named.
I -8 The Metropolitan Sewer Board has informed us that we are
authorized to undertake sanitary sewer improvements only until
April 1,1972 unless a comprehensive study of our system is
presented to them. In addition the Homart Company will present
a petition very shortly for increased water quantity and
pressures at their site. At this time it appears that some
sort of elevated water storage will be necessary to meet their
requirements. At the meeting we will discuss the needs for
the water and sanitary sewer studies and the feasibility of at
least undertaking interviews and receiving proposals from
various consulting firms for the studies.
I--9 Two registered land surveys have been submitted for approval.
We would recommend approval of a survey submitted by Frank
Bradac. The second survey submitted is for an area having a
major drainage course running through it and we have received
no indication of the proposed storm sewer run-off as required
by our platting code. In addition, there appears to be no
public access to one lot as required by our Code. We would
recommend that the registered land survey not be accepted
until these points are clarified and /or corrected.
ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS
Enclosed is a copy of an easement prepared by Mr. Robert Hall
in accordance with the conditions of the vacation of the alley
between Atlantic Street and vacated Chambers Street.
Mr. Hobbs has been given a final inspection for his home at
380 Skillman Avenue and he has been granted occupancy. A
copy of the report from the Building Official is enclosed.
I am working on our 1972 salary schedules. I may have some
figures for you at the meeting.

D. PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. License Suspension - Contractor's License (Frank Horner - 8:00 P.M.)
a. Manager Miller stated the Horner Construction Company was responsible
- 3 - 12/16
for the open excavation located at 659 Roselawn. The excavation was made
in violation of our setback requirements and the contractor was so advised
on September 24, 1971. On October 19, 1971, Mr. Horner was advised that
nothing had been done to correct the situation although the staff had
been advised by Mr. Tom Horner on September 24th that work would begin
on the excavation during the first part of the following week. On October
28, 1971 the Horner Company was ordered to close the open excavation by
the Village Administration. The Horner Company took no action, and on
November 4, the Council ordered the work done at Village expense and the
costs charged back to the Horner Company. It is felt that the failure of
the Horner Company to respond to orders of the Village, the manner in
which the work under the control of the Horner Company was executed at
659 East Roselawn and the failure of the Horner Company to notify the
Village of the expiration of a required insurance policy,are grounds for
suspension of that company's Village license. The excavator who did the
excavation at 659 E. Roselawn Avenue was not licensed by the Village and
also not the same as stated on the Building Permit.
b. Mr. Joe Summers, attorney representing the F. J. Horner Company, spoke
on behalf of his client.

permit that the dwelling would be located 30 feet from the street right

in violation of the code) that he would move the basement. Mr. Horner
answered questions from the Council.

7. License Suspension - Refuse Haulers (Poor Richards) 9:00 P.M.
a. Manager Miller stated Mr. Wybierala appeared before the Council at
its December 2nd meeting, and disputed the fact that:he was operating in
violation of Village Code requirements regarding maximum rates for refuse
collection service. Mr. Wybierala stated that he felt he should be able
to charge more than $12.50 for his pickup service, and that he should be
able to sell bags larger than the required maximum size of 32 gallons.
This hearing has been established to determine whether or not Mr. Wybier-
ala's license should or should not be permanently suspended. It is re-
commended that unless Mr. Wybierala agrees to hold his charges in accord-
ance with the maximums established by the Village Council, that his license
be permanently suspended. In addition, it is recommended that if he
agrees to charge within the maximums established that he refund or credit
to those customers who have been charged in excess of the maximum that

Mr. Miller has asked the Municipal Judge to be present at the meeting
to answer any questions you might have relative to the operation of the
Court.
b. Judge John Kirby explained the procedures of a full time Court. A
schedule has not as yet been worked out, but as soon as one is completed

C. Councilman Greavu introduced the following resolution and moved its
adoption:
71 - 12 - 291
WHEREAS, the Minnesota Legislature passed a Statute establishing a

I. NEW BUSINESS
1. Building Plan Review - Restaurant, lounge (Northwest corner of White
Bear and Cope Avenues)
- 11 - 12/16
a. Manager Miller stated this structure would have a full basement
with a 6,021 square foot gross floor area at ground level and 5,760
square foot gross floor area in the basement. It will be utilized as a
restaurant- lounge with a seating capacity in the restaurant of 146 and in
the lounge of 78 on the first floor, and lounge and banquet rooms in the
basement with an unknown seating capacity. The plan proposes 33 less
parking spaces than the minimum (161) spaces required by our ordinances.
A number of other inadequancies in the plan are pointed out in the staff
reports. It is recommended that this building plan be referred back to
the applicant to prepare a revised site plan which is more functional
and complies with Village Codes. The staff agrees with the proposed hype
of commercial use and would encourage a special exception from the M -1
light industrial district zoning regulations.
b. Village Planner Seida presented the staff report.
c. Mr. Dick Lundahl, architect, explained the proposed building plans
and the site plans. He further stated that the requirements, as given
by the staff, could be met without any difficulty.
4. Councilman Greavu moved that a restaurant - lounge would not be an _
incompatible use with the current zoning.
Seconded by Councilman Haugan. Ayes - Mayor Axdahl, Councilmen Greavu,
and Haugan.

2. Variance Request (Building Code) 1950 Atlantic Street
a. Manager Miller presented the Building Official's report on repairs
to be made at the home which was partially destroyed by fire located at
1950 Atlantic. The home is a nonconforming use in a commercial zone.
The Code requires that repairs may be made but must result in compliance
with the Building Code. There are a number of areas where variances have
been requested by the owners.
b. An attorney representing Mr. Roubik, 1950 Atlantic Street, spoke on
behalf of the requests for building code variances. If allowed to rebuild
the house, Mr. Roubik plans to live there.
c. Following further discussion, Councilman Greavu moved to table this
matter until the meeting of December 28 1971 to allow the Council to
inspect the dwelling at 1950 Atlantic Street.
Seconded by Councilman Haugan. Ayes - all.
3. Correction of Resolution - Vacation of Lee Street
a. Manager Miller stated that in 1965 the Village vacated Lee Street
from Skillman to Renwood. Due to the timing and platting of Maplecrest,
Skillman,at the time of the vacation, was Echo Street; however, the va-
cation resolution refers to Skillman Avenue. Ban -Con, Inc., the owners
of this property, now requests that Council adopt a correcting resolution
stating that it was the intention of the Council to correctly refer to
- 12 - 12/16

Lee Street as running from Echo Street to Kenwood Drive. The Village
Attorney has reviewed this request.
b. Councilwoman Olson introduced the following resolution and moved
its adoption:
71 - 12 - 295
RESOLUTION CORRECTING RESOLUTION NO. 65 -10 -304
VACATING LEE STREET
WHEREAS, on the 14th day of October, the Village Council of Maple-
wood, Minnesota, duly passed Resolution Number 65 -10 -304 providing, in
part, that "Lee Street from Skillman Avenue to East Kenwood Drive ", all
as shown in the plat of Little's Third Addition, be vacated; and
WHEREAS, at such time that portion of Little's Third Addition was
intended to be re- platted as Maplecrest and the street known as Echo
Street was to be renamed Skillman Avenue; and
WHEREAS, said plat of Maplecrest did not become final until after
passage of said resolution vacating Lee Street; and
WHEREAS, in said resolution it was the intention of the Council to
correctly refer to Lee Street as running from Echo Street to East Kenwood
Drive;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Village Council of Maplewood,
Minnesota that Resolution Number 65 -10 =304 passed on the 14th day of
October, 1965, be corrected by deleting the words "Skillman Avenue"
wherever they appear therein and inserting in lieu thereof the words
"Echo Street ". As so corrected, said resolution is hereby ratified and
confirmed.
Seconded by Councilman Wiegert. Ayes - all.
4. Street and Storm Sewer Improvements - Gladstone Area
a. Manager Miller stated that in the spring of 1970 public hearings were
held on storm sewers in areas number one and number two. At that time
27% of the property owners objected and the project was denied. We have
recently had renewed interest in this project expressed to us. The or-
iginal project proposed only storm sewers, Staff proposes to combine the
street upgrading with the storm sewer project due to the fact that ap-
proximately 20% of the project costs would be for street and shoulder
restoration (only cost would later be again necessary for street con-
struction), base work can be better done in conjunction with storm sewer
trench excavation, drainage structures would have to be replaced if street
upgrading took place at a later date, an upgraded street section including
curb and gutter is an integralpart of efficient storm sewer collection,
and streets would only be torn up once resulting in less inconvenience to
the residents. It is recommended that a feasibility study be ordered.
- 13 - 12/16
b. Councilman Wiegert introduced the following resolution and moved its
adoption:
71 - 12 - 296
WHEREAS, the Village Council has determined that it is necessary
and expedient, that the area described as lying between the Minneapolis -
St. Paul and Sault St. Marie Railroad Tracks on the north; Larpenteur
Avenue on the south; Phalen Place on the west; Prosperity Road on the
east be improved by construction of a storm sewer system and appurtenances
and street upgrading with curb and gutter;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF MAPLEWOOD,
MINNESOTA that the improvement as hereinbefore described is hereby re-
ferred to the Village Engineer, and he is instructed to report to the
Council with all convenient speed advising the Council in a preliminary
way as to whether the proposed improvement is feasible and should best
be made as proposed, and the estimated cost of the improvement as re-
commended.
Seconded by Councilman Greavu. Ayes - all.
5. Drainage Improvement - Battle Creek
a. Manager Miller stated that an amount of $20,000 has been budgeted for
improvements to the Battle Creek area, It is recommended that the services
of the Barr Engineering Company be utilized to provide us with a feasibil-
ity study in final plans for the project. The proposed work is to be done
at normal consulting engineer scale with a maximum figure of $1,500.00.
It is possible that the findings may show that the budgeted amount is
insufficient to accomplish the full job. If this is the case, Council
could consider ordering a public hearing and assessing the drainage area
for the cost.
b. Village Attorney Lais presented a report of what happened at the meet-
ing of the governmental units involved with the improvements to Battle
Creek.
c. Councilman Greavu introduced the following resolution and moved its
adoption:
71 - 12 - 297
WHEREAS, it has been determined that it is necessary that certain
improvements be made to the north branch of Battle Creek,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF MAPLEWOOD, MINN-
ESOTA, that Barr Engineering Company be authorized to conduct a feasibil-
ity study of the above improvements at a cost not to exceed $1,500.
Seconded by Councilman Wiegert. Ayes - all.
d. Councilman Greavu moved to appoint Village Attorney Donald Lais to
represent the Village of Maplewood in developing the joint powers agre
ment with the governmental units involved,
- 14 - 12/16
Seconded by Councilman Wiegert. Ayes - all.
6. Authorization of Transfers
a. Manager Miller presented a resolution regarding transfer of funds
as recommended in the 1970 Village audit report. In addition, the cre-
ation of one debt service fund from the existing nine bond issues, as
per the audit, is also recommended.
b. Councilwoman Olson in Qduced the following resolution and moved its
adoption: (approving transfer)
71 - 12 - 298
WHEREAS, the Village Council of the Village of Maplewood has engaged
the firm of Johnson & De La Hunt, certified public accountants, to perform
auditing services for such village for the fiscal year of 1970; and
WHEREAS, the firm of Johnson & De La Hunt has completed the audit and
submitted a report of the financial status of the village for the year
1970; and
WHEREAS, a public presentation, at a regular council meeting, was
made of the audit report wherein several transfers were recommended by
the firm of Johnson & De La Hunt; and such transees were concurred upon
by the staff and to which no objections were heard;
BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED THAT THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF
MAPLEWOOD, MINNESOTA hereby authorizes the transfers to and from Funds
and Accounts, as recommended by the firm of Johnson & De La Hunt in-
cluded in the audit report in schedule 18.4, pages I - 3, and which are
hereby attached and shown as exhibit "A ", and therefore made a part of
this resolution.
Seconded by Councilman Wiegert. Ayes - all.
c. Councilman Wiegert introduced the following resolution and moved its
adoption: (creating debt service fund)
71 - 12 - 299
WHEREAS, the Village Council of the Village of Maplewood has engaged
the firm of Johnson & De La Hunt, certified public accountants, to perform
auditing services for such village for the fiscal year of 1970; and
WHEREAS, such firm has recommended that one debt service fund should
be created from the existing nine bond issues, as shown in exhibit "A"
and, hereby, made a part of this resolution; and
WHEREAS, the combining of such nine bond issues into one debt service
fund would reduce the numerous accounting and audit problems which now
exist by having such issues separated and, also provide a more exacting
analysis of the debt service obligations of the village is impossible; and
- 15 - 12/16
WHEREAS, the firm of Johnson & De La Hunt has justified the combining
of such funds by stating, on page 8 of the 1970 audit report, that "bond
resolutions, authorizing the sale of bonds, provides for the establishment
of one sinking fund into which related assessments and tax receipts are
recorded and from which bond and interest payments are made. In actual
Village procedure, payments relating to a bond issue may be made from
several sinking funds as the assets provided for the retirement of a par-
ticular bond issue are located in several sinking funds. This procedure
results in numerous accounting and audit problems. We have discussed the
problem with the public examiner and it was determined the village could
rectify the problem by combining nine bond issues into one debt service
fund contingent upon a concurring legal opinion from the village attorney
and bond consultant and the passing of a council resolution affecting the
consolidation of 9 sinking funds into one fund;" and
WHEREAS, the village attorney and village bond consultant have con-
curred, in writing, with the recommendation of the firm of Johnson &
De La Hunt;
BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED THAT THE VILLAGE COUNCIL authorizes the com-
bining of the nine bond issues, as shown in exhibit "A", into one debt
service fund; and be it further resolved that the village council hereby
irrevocably appropriates and pledges to the new debt service fund, herein
created, the taxes and special assessments originally pledged for the pay-
ment of each bond issue now payable from the common sinking fund account.
Prior to doing such; it has been determined that the revenues of each of
the nine (9) sinking funds, herein created as one, will produce at least
5% in excess of the amounts needed to meet, when due, the principal and
interest payments on all of the obligations of the combined fund.
Seconded by Councilman Greavu. Ayes - all.

Comprehensive Water and Sewer Studies
a. Manager Miller stated the Metropolitan Sewer Board has informed the
Village that we are authorized to undertake sanitary sewer improvements
only until April 1, 1972 unless a comprehensive study of our system is
presented to them. In addition the Homart Company will present a petition
very shortly for increased water quantity and pressures at their site.
At this time it appears that some sort of elevated water storage will be
necessary to meet their requirements. Staff presented a report stating
the needs for the water and sanitary sewer studies and the feasibility
of at least undertaking interviews and receiving proposals from various
consulting firms for the studies.

a. Chairman Haugan convened the meeting for a public hearing on the
request of Mr. William J. Kaufman for a setback requirement variance for
Lot 30, Block 11, St. Aubin and Dion's Rice Street Addition. The Clerk
read the notice of hearing along with the dates of publication.
b. Manager Miller stated William J. Kaufman (163 N. Cleveland Avenue,
St. Paul) requests a variance of 10 feet from the minimum 30 foot setback
requirement of the zoning regulations for his lot at the southeast
corner of Sylvan Street and Kingston Avenue. It is recommended that the
variance be granted with the condition that a building permit for a
structure on the premises must be issued within a nine month period.
The favorable recommendation is due to the fact that surrounding homes
in the area are built a minimum of 20 feet back from the property lines.
c. Chairman Lyman Coombs read the following Planning Commission
recommendations: "Based upon the staff's report and other submitted
information the Planning Commission recommends to the Board of Appeals
and Adjustment that the variance be granted as requested.
Commissioner Mogren seconded. Motion carried Ayes - all."
d. Chairman Haugan asked if there was anyone present who wished to speak
on behalf of the variance.
e. Chairman Haugan asked if there was anyone present who wished to
speak in opposition or who wished to register a formal objection. None
were heard.
f. Councilwoman Olson moved that the request of Mr. William Kaufman for
a 10 foot setback requirement variance on Lot 30, Block 11, St. Aubins
