E. PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Street Vacation - A Portion of Skillman Avenue Fast of Barclay Street (7:30 P.M.)
a. Mayor Axdahl convened the meeting for a public hearing on a petition to
vacate a portion of Skillman Avenue east of Barclay Street. The Clerk read
the notice of hearing along with the dates of publication.
b. Manager Miller presented the staff report with the recommendation that the
request for vacation be denied. Such a vacation would result in a confusing
street pattern (a full street for 28 feet and a one half street for 100 feet).
- 1 - 5/17
Such a configuration could also result in a financial burden to the Village
through the avoidance of a 30 -foot assessment for improvements on Barclay
by the applicant due to the resulting indentation and the applicant's property.
In addition, the proposed vacation would limit access to that property to the
east of the applicant's property.
c. Commissioner Bill Howard presented the following Planning Commission re-
port:
"Commissioner Singer moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the
Council that the petition be denied based upon the Manager's report.
Commissioner Disselkamp seconded. Motion carried. Ayes - all."
d. Mayor Axdahl called for persons who wished to speak in favor of the proposal.
The applicant, Mr. Allen Farrankap, 2046 Barclay Street, presented his
reasons for requesting the vacation.
e. Mayor Axdahl called for persons who wished to speak opposing the vacation.
Mr. Joseph Sauro, 2051 Hazelwood Avenue, read a letter opposing the vacation.
f. Mayor Axdahl closed the public hearing.
g. Councilman Olmstead moved to deny the request for street vacation, based
on the Manager's comments.
Seconded by Councilman Haugan. Ayes - all.
2. Board of Appeals and Adjustment (Garage Area Variance) 2740 Gem Street (7:45 P.M.)
Mayor Axdahl recessed the meeting at 7:48 P.M. to reconvene as the Board of
Appeals and Adjustments.

commended.
2. Councilman Olmstead introduced the following ordinance and moved its
adoption:
ORDINANCE NO. 347
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE
MAPLEWOOD ZONING CODE
THE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF MAPLEWOOD DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the following described property is hereby rezoned
from F -R (Farm Residence District) to LBC (Limited Business Commercial
District), to wit:
That part of the South 731.5 feet of the SE 1/4 of the NW 1/4,
Section 2, T. 29, R. 22, Village of Maplewood, Ramsey County,
Minnesota, lying Easterly of the Easterly line of White Bear
Avenue; excepting that part therefrom described as follows -
- 4 - 5/17
Beginning at a point on the East line of the NW 1/4, Section 2,
- distant 175.0 feet North of the center of Section 2, (being the
SE corner of said NW 1/4); thence North, along the said East
line of the NW 1/4, a distance of 556.5 feet; thence West, paral-
lel to the South line of the NW 1/4, a distance of 354.5 feet;
thence South, parallel to the said East line of the NW 1/4, a
distance of 350.0 feet; thence Southeasterly, a distance of 313.3
feet, more or less, to a point on a line drawn parallel to and 175:0

East 60.0 feet of the South 175.0 feet 'thereof for a storm water
system. (More commonly described as a vacant 5.7 acre tract of
land located at the Northeast corner of Beam Avenue and White Bear
Avenue.)
Section 2. This ordinance shall take effect upon passage and public-
ation.
Seconded by Councilman Haugan. Ayes - all.
c. R -1 to R -2 - South Side of Ripley Avenue at Furness Street
1. Manager Miller stated this proposed rezoning was publicly heard on
May 3, and tabled to receive input from the Planning Commission. I re-
commend denial of the proposed rezoning because it would encourage:
1. Incompatible and excessive population density for the rezoned
site as compared with that indicated in the Plan for Maplewood;
2. The establishment of a density precident for the remaining
lots or portions thereof in the neighborhood now zoned as
single family residential; and
3. The proposed rezone site does not appear to have sufficient
square footage to support potential units on the site.
If the Council should consider the proposed rezoning, it is suggested that
only that vacant portion should be considered for R -2 and then only after
the submission by the applicant of a certified survey of the property. I
continue,to recommend denial of the rezoning.
2. Chairman Lyman Coombs presented the following Planning Commission re-
commendation:
"Commissioner Singer moved that the Planning Commission suggest to the
Village Council that the rezone site be denied for the reasons stated
in the Manager's report.
Commissioner Kishel seconded. Motion carried - Ayes 8, Nays 1.
Commissioner Howard voted no.)"

Ayes - all.
a, Manager Miller stated this proposal was referred to the Planning Com-
mission for review and recommendation. It was publicly heard on May 3. I
had recommended that the application for a special permit be denied based up-
on the physical site limitations, the sewage situation, the inadequate park-
ing capacity and the fact that the applicant is not a resident of the premises.
At the hearing the applicant stated that she would take up residency on the
premises if the special permit were issued. I continue to recommend denial.
During the discussion of this application the Council raised the question of
the conditions placed upon the Silberbauer permit at 2083 Arcade Street. The
conditions for that permit were as follows:
1. The permit shall be reviewed annually by the Village Council;
2. The permit shall become effective only after the Building Official
certifies compliance with these conditions in building, fire, electric,
health code requirements;
3. The permit shall not be transferable;
4. The permit shall be subject to revocation by the Village Council upon
justified complaints;
5. No signs advertising the beauty parlor operation shall be allowed
upon the property;
6. No on- street parking by customers shall be encouraged, and an improved
off - street parking area which is properly hard surfaced and landscape
shall be required on the property;
7. No expansion of the permit in any way shall occur without the approval
of the Village Council; and
8. The applicant must agree to the above conditions in writing.
b, Chairman Lyman Coombs presented the following Planning Commission recom-
mendations:
"Commissioner Kent moved that the Planning Commission recommend denial of the
permit particularly the parking and sewer issues raised in Manager's report.
Commissioner Howard seconded. Motion carried. Ayes 7, Nay - Commissioner
Mogren and Prew."

Seconded by Councilman Haugan. Ayes - all.
3. Flower Baskets - Frost Avenue
a. Manager Miller stated the North Maplewood Lionells have asked the Village
for its suggestions relative to the future of the hanging flower baskets on
Frost Avenue. The North Maplewood Lionells have sponsored the flower basket
program since originally placing 16 baskets along Frost Avenue in 1968. There
are now a total of 30 brackets and 20 baskets spread over approximately one
mile of Frost Avenue between Phalen Place and Prosperity Road.
The Lionells indicate that the maintenance of the baskets has been marginal.
In 1973 a summer teen age recreation program sponsored by the Village conducted
a- maintenance of the baskets better placing flowers and vines and cleaning.
The Village has not made it a practice to regularly maintain the baskets. The
Lionell's indicate problems with theft, wind damage and fading.
Northern States Power, on whose utility poles the baskets are hung, has in-
dicated that State law provides that no materials of advertising or display may
be attached or mounted on power utility poles. Officials of that company in-
dicated that the flower baskets are not allowed under the law.
The Lionells should be complimented for their attempt to improve the street
scape of Frost Avenue. The colorful flowers in the baskets, when new, tend to
provide a pleasant color contrast along the street; however, the color of the
flowers tend to fade and reflect an artificial appearance over a period of time.
In addition, the flower baskets tend to attract attention to the drab utility
poles along the street. The maintenance element has been a problem and is re-
flected in the uneven spatial distribution of the existing baskets.
It is suggested that the Lionells should be complimented for the long term
attempt at improving the visual amenities of Frost Avenue; however, it is sug-
gested that major public improvements would be required before such an attempt
can be successful. It is suggested that the Lionells efforts might better be
utilized in other areas.
b. Chairman Warren Peterson presented the following Community Design Review
Board recommendation:
"Board Member Howard moved that the Board of Design Review wishes to thank
the ladies of the Lionell Organization for the public spirit and civic pride
they have shown in arranging for the placing and maintenance of the flower
- 7 - 5/17
baskets on Frost Avenue over the past 5 years.
The Board would like to suggest that in lieu of maintaining the flower baskets,
the ladies might wish to consider the planting of trees in some of the parks
and on other property owned by the Village, thus creating a more permanent and
natural beauty and one which might require less maintenance.
The ladies and the Village Public Works Department can work out the details
of the removal of the baskets.
Board Member Glasow seconded the motion.
Board Member Peterson moved that an additional sentence to the motion be read
which would allow for the Lionells and Public Works Department to negotiate the
details for the removal of the flower baskets.
Board Member Ottman seconded the Peterson Amendment and the Peterson amendment
carried, 6 to 1 with Member Arndt voting against the motion.
Chairman Peterson then called for a vote on the original Board Member Howard
motion as read earlier. The Chairman declared the original motion as having
passed with a vote of 6 to 1 with Board Member Arndt voting no on the motion."
c. Councilman Wiegert moved to adopt the recommendation of the Community Design
Review Board.
Seconded by Councilman Haugan. Ayes - all.
4. Concerned Citizens for Youth
a. Manager Miller stated he had previously submitted his comments relative to
the report from the Concerned Citizens for Youth. The Committee had asked for

a. Ordinance - Uniform Franchise (Second Reading)
1. Manager Miller stated the proposed uniform franchise ordinance with the
Northern States Power Company relating to electrical service in Maplewood
was placed on first reading on May 3. Second reading and final adoption is
recommended.
After final adoption of the uniform franchise ordinance, it is recommended
that the joint powers agreement, which creates an organization to administer
the rate making regulatory features of the uniform franchise, be adopted.
2. Councilman Wiegert introduced the following ordinance and moved its
adoption:

6. Building Plan Review - Office and Warehouse (Gervais Avenue)
a. Manager Miller presented the staff report with the recommendation that
the proposal is incompatible with the Community Design Review Ordinance for
the following reasons:
1. The proposal does not secure the general stated purpose of the Com-
munity Design Review Ordinance as stated;

developments and lands impairs and interferes with the use and enjoy-
ment of such neighboring development and lands;
3. The proposal by design and location is not in keeping with the char-
acter of the surrounding developments and presents a detrimental effect
upon the harmonious and attractive development of the area; and
4. The proposal by design and location would not provide a desirable en-
vironment for both its occupants and its neighbors, and that such pro-
posal acts to disrupt the aesthetics of the area through the grading
proposed and the intensity of development scale proposed for the site
as related to the surrounding area.

Gervais Avenue;
5. All roof mechanical equipment shall be screened from view;
6. At the time of occupancy call for Building A on the south of the site

Olmstead and Wiegert.

drainage pattern.)
7. Subdivision - Tilsen's Maplewood Heights No. 8 (Final Plat)
a. Manager Miller stated the final plat is in conformance with the approved
preliminary plat for Tilsen's Maplewood Heights No. 8. Approval of the final
plat is recommended subject to the signing of the development contract. It
should be pointed out that the question of the wordage relative to the ded-
- 24 - 5/17
ication of park land has raised some legal questions. The Attorney feels
that future problems could be avoided by the dedication of the land for
"public purposes" rather than for "park purposes ". The dedication for "park"
purposes would protect the usage of the land for that sole purpose; however,
it could also present future legal problems relative to trading of the lands,
installation of utilities or out -right sale. We would like the Council's de-
cision relative to the wordage of this section of the contract. I would sug-
gest that if the words "public" purposes rather than "park" purposes is utilized,
that a resolution of intent be adopted which would tie any changes in the usage
of the land to the comprehensive master plan.

8. Subdivision - Progress Realty (Request for Variance)
the
a. Manager Miller stated the Progress Realty Company requests to be relieved
of certain requirements regarding improvements for subdivisions. The applicant
gives no justification for such relief although I suspect that he will point
out the cost factors involved in the installation of certain improvements. We
have two examples of the relieving of developers of the responsibility for the
installation of improvements at the time of development. The Gladstone area
of Maplewood provides a good example of the long range effects of improvements
not being installed at the time of development. The Pleasantview Park sub-
division gives us an example of the short range effects of such a relief. It
is felt that the granting of such a request would establish a dangerous prece-
dent and result in many more requests for such relief. It would also result
in the burden of the installation of the improvements being shifted to the Vil-
lage and the property owners. Denial is recommended.
b. Mr. Samson Cukier, owner of Progress Realty, stated reasons for requesting
the variances.

2. Sign Permit
a. 3M Center
1. Manager Miller stated the applicant wishes to erect a free standing
company indentification sign in the intersection median divider at the
intersection of Eleventh Street and the 3M frontage road along the north
side of I -94. The proposed sign is to have a height of 13 feet, a surface
of 30 square feet and dimensions of five feet by six feet. It will be
supported by two pylon supports. It would be so situated as to have seven
feet of clearance beneath the sign to ground level and is proposed to be
illuminated. It is not indicated if the sign is to be double faced or
single faced.
It is suggested that traffic information be placed on the north side of
the sign for exiting site traffic in terms of caution or safety warnings.
The proposed sign design is clear, concise, informative and of a simple
design and the sign designer should be complimented. Approval of the
proposed sign is recommended.

2. Chairman Warren Peterson presented the recommendation of the
Community Design Review Board:
"Board Member Howard moved that the Board recommend to the Village Council

as recommended in the Manager's report.

b. 1195 East Highway 36 (Grandma's Antiques)
1. Manager Miller stated an alternate sign proposal was submitted after
the staff report had been written. The sign is in line with the suggest-
ions of the staff report and therefore approval is recommended.
2. Chairman Warren Peterson presented the following Community Design
Review Board recommendation:
"Board Member Glasow retracted his original motion and moved that the
revised free standing sign be recommended for approval subject to the
sign clearance being approved by the staff for traffic safety.

3. Assessment Cancellation Request - Harry E. Zacho
a. Manager Miller stated an easement for sanitary sewer purposes was acquired
through condemnation proceedings in district court in 1960 for the area shown
on the attached map (Lakewood Drive and Magnolia Avenue). A letter dated Dec-
ember 7, 1960 from the Village Attorney outlines the costs involved in acquiring
the easement. The assessment for the parcel was deferred until last year. Mr.
Zacho has asked the staff to cancel his assessment on the property. He claims
that the district court stipulation stated that no assessment would be levied
against the parcel owned by him. Mr. Zacho was asked to produce a copy of the
stipulation in order to ascertain the exact court order pertaining to the
property. It is felt that this information is necessary prior to the under-
taking of proceedings to remove the assessment from the rolls. To date we have
not received the necessary information from Mr. Zacho. If Mr. Zacho produces
the information requested, it is suggested that it be referred to staff for re-
view and comment at the next regular meeting. If Mr. Zacho does not produce
- 31 - 5/17
the stipulation in question, it is recommended that no action be taken on his
request to cancel the assessments.
b. Mr. Harry E. Zacho reviewed the matter pertaining to the assessment. He
remembers discussion with the Judge at the time of condemnation, that he should
not be assessed.
c. Councilman Greavu moved to table the matter until Mr. Zacho provides more
information.
Seconded by Councilman Wiegert. Ayes - all.
4. Lot Divisions
a. Schroeder, 380 E. County Road B
1. Manager Miller presented a request from Mrs. Josephine Schroeder, 380
E. County Road B to divide her property into four lots. The Council policy
has been to consider lot divisions resulting in three or less lots and to
require full subdivision platting where four or more lots result. It is
recommended that the Schroeder request be denied based upon Council policy
of requiring subdivision platting where four or more lots will result.
2. Mr. Vince Heniur, agent representing Mrs. Schroeder, spoke on behalf
of the request.
3. Village Planner Seida presented the staff report.
4. Discussion followed relative to lot pattern established throughout the
area and the similarit of this pro sal to thatlpatter .

b. Spears, Hazelwood Avenue
1. Manager Miller presented a request of Mr. T.R. Spears to divide a
portion of Block 1, Wakefield Manor into four lots and to be allowed to
be reduced from the Platting Code minimum of 100 feet frontage for corner
lots to 78.26 feet. It is recommended that the request be denied based
on Council policy of requiring subdivision platting where four or more
lots will result.
2. Village Planner Seida presented the staff report.
3. Councilman Olmstead moved to deny the request of Mr. Spears for the
lot division, based on the Manager's recommendation.
Seconded by Councilman Wiegert. Ayes - all.
C. Peterson, Edgerton Street
32 - 5/17
Manager Miller stated Mr. Peterson had withdrawn his request.
5. Sport Car Meet Permit - 3M Sports Car Club
a. Manager Miller stated the 3M Sprots Car Club has requested that the ord-
inance limiting the allowable speed on parking lots of 15 miles per hour be
waived in order to allow that Club to conduct events on the 3M Company Building
224 parking lot on June 24 and August 19. In their application they state that
they follow Metropolitan Council of Sprots Car Clubs rules although they admit
that they will exceed the speed limits.
The Village Attorney has reviewed the request, and has advised me that the only
method of waiving the ordinance would be to amend the 15 -mile an hour speed
limit portion of the ordinance.
It is felt that the following problems arise in such an event:
1. The liability in the event of an accident with injury to the partici-
pants or spectators that the Village might incur if such a permit were
issued;
2. The noise pollution resulting from many vehicles accelerating on Sun-
day; and
3. Speeds on a flat parking lot in excess of the designed use lend them-
selves to accidents.
Any amendment to the ordinance would apply to all private parking lots in the
Village. For this reason and those stated above, it is recommended that the
request be denied.
b. Mr. Vernon Wood, President of 3M Sports Car Club spoke on behalf of the
request.
c. Following further discussion, Councilman Olmstead moved first

6. Street Improvement - Conway Avenue, McKnight Road to Century Avenue
a. Manager Miller stated in order to facilitate the improvement and to attempt
to meet deadlines established by the development of the 3M property north of
Conway, it is suggested that the Council order a feasibility study for the im-
provement of Conway Avenue through the construction of a street, including grad-
ing, paving, curb and gutter and lighting, signalization, landscaping and nec-
essary widening and channelization of Carlton Street to effect a proper inter-
section and the necessary utilities. This would make the project a Council-
initiated project and would require a four fifths vote for approval. The order-
ing of a feasibility study is recommended.
b. Councilman Olmstead introduced the following resolution and moved its
adoption:
- 33 - 5/17

73 -5 -94
WHEREAS, the Village Council has determined that it is necessary and
expedient that Conway Avenue between McKnight Road and Century Avenue be
improved by construction of street, including grading, paving, curb and
gutter, lighting, signalization, landscaping and necessary widening and
channelization of Carlton Street and the necessary utilities, and
WHEREAS, a certain petition has been received by the Village Council
for the aforesaid improvement and whereby said petition has been declared
to be signed by the required percentage of owners of the property affected
thereby;

MINNESOTA that the improvement as hereinbefore described is hereby referred
to the Village Council and he is instructed to report to the Council with

the proposed improvement is feasible and should best be made as proposed
and the estimated cost of the improvement as recommended, and the Village Eng-
ineer is hereby authorized to engage the services of Howard, Needles, Tammen
and Bergendoff to assist him in the preparation of the report.

Ramsey County Street Light Policy - Resolution
les. Tammen and
a. Manager Miller stated that the Ramsey County Board is seriously considering
the possibility of cutting the expenditures for street lighting on County roads
from its upcoming budget. This would result in the expenditure either being
picked up by the Village or the elimination of street lighting from County roads
in the Village. It should be pointed out that the City of St. Paul receives
money for the construction of street lights in its annual allocation for County
roadways. It is suggested that the attached resolution be adopted and forward-
ed to the Ramsey County Board strongly urging that Board to retain the street
light function.
b. Councilman Greavu introduced the following resolution and moved its
adoption:
73 -5 -95
WHEREAS, the Ramsey County Highway System is an integrated network
providing for the needs of all residents of Ramsey County; and
- 34-
5(17
WHEREAS, adequate street lighting is needed to insure safe usage of the
highways; and
WHEREAS, the City of St. Paul receives money for the construction of
street lights in their annual allocation;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF MAPLEWOOD, MINN-
ESOTA that it is strongly urged that the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners
retain a street lighting function for the suburban communities and increase
its allocation to this function to provide needed street lights which would
be a benefit to all citizens of the County of Ramsey.
Seconded by Councilman Olmstead. Ayes - all.
8. Natural Resources Legislation - Resolution
a. Manager Miller presented a resolution stating that the State of Minnesota
should proceed to finance grants to Municipalities regarding park development
and purchasing. There have been Federal Funds eliminated for these purposes.
b. Councilman Wiegert introduced the following resolution and moved its
adoption:
73 -5 -96
WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota has recognized the importance of parks,
recreation, and open space in the quality of life for the residents of Minn-
esota, and has assigned a high priority to the provision of said parks, recreat-
ion, and open space areas and facilities;
WHEREAS, the State Legislature has established a Natural Resources Fund
in the amount of $9,750,000 for the last biennium for regional and local park,
recreation, and open space needs to be used to match federal grant assistance
for said programs;
WHEREAS, federal allocations for parks, recreation, and open space pro-
grams have been reduced from approximately $6,000,000 in the last biennium to
an anticipated $400,000 for the Federal Government's fiscal year 1974;
WHEREAS, demands for parks, recreation, and open space have increased sub-
stantially, thus requiring a greater effort on the part of all units and levels
of government to meet this demand.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Council of the Village of Maple-
wood does hereby request the Minnesota State Legislature to appropriate an
amount of at least $5,000,000 to the Local Assistance Account of the Natural
Resource Fund, otherwise referred to as paragraph g. These monies to be dis-
tributed to municipalities within the State of Minnesota by the State Planning
Agency, Office of Local and Urban Affairs, on a 50 -50 matching basis to assist
in meeting the park, recreation, and open space needs of the State of Minnesota,
said monies to be distributed to municipalities without regard to federal grant
assistance.

The Council of the Village of Maplewood does also support the concept of
accelerated acquisition of regional parks and open space facilities within
the Metropolitan Area and, therefore, supports bonding authority to this end.
Seconded by Councilman Greavu. Ayes - all.
9. Limited Use Permit Agreement - State Highway Department
a. Manager Miller stated we have received an agreement from the Minnesota
State Highway Department which would allow us to remove fencing and shape the
slope of the earth berm on Highway 35E right -of -way adjacent to the Western
Hills Park. It is recommended that the Council authorize the signing of the
agreement. This work is in line with the development of the Western Hills
Park.

1. Mayor Axdahl stated that according to the newspaper, North Saint Paul would like
to meet with this Council.
Manager Miller stated he had talked to Mr. Splinter and he indicated that their
Council would like to get together with this Council to discuss things, rather

than read newspaper articles about each other.

attended. He would like the Municipalities to inform their engineers that their
presence is needed.
Engineer Collier stated that Maplewood has had a representative at each of the
monthly meetings.
6. Councilman Wiegert stated Mr. Anklan commented that it was difficult for the
County to pay assessments against County property when they do not receive
notices.
The Village has sent notices to the County whenever any of their property is
involved.
The question was raised by the Council if Ramsey County had paid for the addition-
al amount billed them for the Larpenteur Avenue Storm Sewer Improvement.
Councilman Wiegert moved that Ramsey County be asked to pay that bill.

change and the two intersections, Minnehaha Avenue and County Road 120 and McKnight
Road.
11. Councilman Wiegert stated that we had something fly by about Al Kastner and
his lot on Junction that is too low for a building permit. On May 7th the Ramsey
County Board reduced his taxes on those lots. Mr. Kastner considered the property
worth $4,500, the assessor indicated that the market value was $4,000 to $4,400 and
that a building permit could be issued, if drain tile or a sump pump were installed,
but the assessor then went ahead and recommended the valuation below what Mr. Kasther
had estimated the value of the lots to be. A note should be made of the May 7-th
action and attached to the file.
12. Councilman Greavu questioned if staff could contact the Ramsey County Recreation
Department about draining that swamp in Battle Creek.
Staff to investigate.
13. Councilman Wiegert asked if staff was working on Dick Lofgren's problem.
Attorney Lais stated we were asking for authority to condemn.
Manager Miller stated he had a referral from John Bannigan regarding this matter.
K. ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS
1. Manager Miller stated in the April 9th minutes of the Ramsey County Board, it
is indicated that possibly Ramsey County no longer has a drainage policy and that
policy has cost Maplewood a lot of money. Maplewood has attempted to follow it and
thinks it's a good policy, but it seems to have been reversed. No one has ever let
us know when they reversed it. We seem to be the only one who has followed it.
Maplewood at least deserves a response from them.
Councilman Wiegert moved that the Manager be authorized to pursue this question
by writing a letter to the Board of Ramsey County Commissioners regarding their
drainage policy.
Seconded by Councilman Olmstead. Ayes - all.
2. Manager Miller stated we received a bill from the County Board on our County
Ditch 18 study, which has been around for a few years, ever since he got here. We
are preparing to pay the bill on it, but we received a note from the County stating
that we owed about 3 or 4 thousand dollars interest, so we checked back and found
out that the bill for the storm sewer on Larpenteur Avenue has been outstanding for
a number of years and charged interest on that; we submitted a bill to them for the
difference and told them we would forgive them the Amount of our interest on our
County Ditch 18. So, at the present time this information is going through their
administrative organization.
3. Manager Miller received a call from someone in Tony Crea's office about the
bill board at Aldrich Arena- They are looking into it.
- 38 - 5/17
4. Manager Miller stated that Chief Schaller wished him to mention to Council
that a complaint has been received aboutthe Bingo games being conducted on Wed -
nesday nights at the Presentation Catholic Church. Youth, from 8 to 18 years of
I age, are playing bingo.
5. Attorney Don Lais stated the sewer board has again refused permits. He has
talked to one of the fellows there and they said they are under instructions not
to grant . any permits to any community, that is to connect into any interceptors,
where they haven't paid or aren't current on their Service Availability Charge.
We are not current, even though we paid according to their definitions. We would
like permission to talk to them and if we can't get any results, then to start a
court action within that law suit we already have, trying to get a writ compelling
them to allow us to connect.
Councilman Wiegert moved authority for staff to talk with the Metro Sewer
Board and if no results are achieved, a court action should be started.
Seconded by Councilman Greavu. Ayes - all.
6. Councilman Greavu questioned' staff regarding the lights on Michael Lane.
Engineer Collier stated any additional lights installed would be above and
beyond any that we normally place at intersections.

D. PUBLIC HEARINGS
2. Garage Area Variance, 2740 Gem Street (7:45 P.M.) John Brandel
a. Chairman Haugan convened the meeting for a public hearing on a request of
Mr. John Brandel, 2740 Gem Street to construct a double garage in addition to
the existing single garage. The Clerk read the notice of hearing along with
the publication date.
b. Manager Miller stated the applicant wishes to construct a double garage
having an area of 543 square feet in addition to his existing single garage
which has an area of 348 square feet. The Village Code provides that the
maximum building, shed or enclosure designed for the shelter or storage of
motor vehicles shall not exceed 750 square feet floor area. The applicant's
proposal will increase his total floor area for storage of motor vehicles on
his single residential site to 891 square feet. There is no evidence that
the case in question is unique and no reason is given or seen for varying from
the standard maximum of 750 square feet. Denial is recommended.
c. Commissioner Bill Howard presented the following Planning Commission re-
port:
"Commissioner Kishel moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the Board
of Appeals that the variance request be denied based upon the Manager's re-
port.
Commissioner Disselkamp seconded. Motion carried. Ayes 7, Nays 2."
d. Chairman Haugan called for proponents. The applicant, John Brandel,
2740 Gem Street, spoke on behalf of the request.
e. Chairman Haugan called for opponents. None were heard.
f. Chairman Haugan closed the public hearing.
g. Councilman Olmstead moved to deny the request of Mr. John Brandel for a
garage area variance.
Seconded by Mayor Axdahl. Ayes - all.
