Ayea - all Vernon Potter, ~-VO1 Charles Ave., St. Paul appeared before the Board to request a building permit an a lot next to .1250 East Avenue. The Deputy Clerk and Building Inspector had denied the permit because the lot did not have the required 75 foot frontage and according to the information available did not front on a,completed street. Upon consultation of the Section plat, it was learned that the lot was sixty (60) feet at road center and that it angled back: to a width of two hundred fifty one feet (251) at the west .end. A.road, maintained by the Township, does exist, however,. it has been surfaced on the County side. The Board felt that the lot fulfills the building code requirements because it has an average width of more than seventy-five (75) feet. Permission was granted to issue the permit. Herbert Broberg, i45 E. Dion Street appeared before the Board requesting that the plat of Brobergrs Addition be approved. Mr. Broberg was under .the impression that the plat had been previously approved and required only the Clerks signature. When it was learned that the plat had not been investigated by the Town Planning Com- mission, it was referred to that group and to Carley, Town Engineer for a recom- mendation as to further action. Swen H. Anderson of the Swen Anderson Agency, Inc., presented. a letter to the Board outlining his recommendation for the purchase of additional fire insurance and ex- tended coverage for the present fire department building and Town Hall. addition. The letter presented current ratos and gave a resume' of present replacement costs. Mr.. Anderson appeared personally to answer any questions that might arise. The cost of the recommended $10,000 additional insurance for a five year period ,is $232.00. Kaeder moved, Luebben seconded .that the additional insurance be pprch.ased as recommended. Ayes - all It was brought to the attention of the Board that a fire insurance policy presently held, covered the fire department building now apart of Little Canada. The Board instructed the Clerk to write the Bachman-Anderson Agency requesting a. refund for that. period since Little Canada officially separated and became a village. The special hearing for the purpose of rezoning Lots 9, 10, ll, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, & 25, Block 1, Lincaln Park, Section 16, from a °Residential° classification to °Commercial° was called to order at 8;00 P.M. Mr, Claude Zagar9.a and Mrs. Fox appeared along .with and in behalf of Mrs. Rose Zagaria, 1973 English St. Tyro (2) lots awned by Mrs. Zagaria although a part of the blbck intended for rezoning were not included in the petition for rezoning. A Mr. Leonard Knutson, who d.id not appear, also a party to the proposed rezoning, had submitted a separate petition for the three lots he owns in this block. 'Mrs. Zagaria was concerned that an attempt was being made to rezane the area without her approval, although she had agreed in principle for the sale of her property to the proposed developers of the block, Mr. Hugo Badman representing the developers stated that he did not wish to enter into a contract with Mrs. Zagaria witYiout assurance that the area would be rezoned °Commercial°. It was,then pointed out that Mrs. Zagaria would ~ be agreeable to enter into a contract that trould be contingent upon the rezoning with full refund rights. Mr. Badman stated that he had not understood this from previous conversations and if this was true, arrangements could be made. .Chairman Luebben then called three (3) times for other objectors to the proposed rezoning. None appeared. The Board then stated its wil].in~ess to grant the requested re- - zoning upon the presentation of evidence that all parties to the act son are satisfied. Chairmaxi Luebben advised that the hearing wou}.d be laid over until the next regular meeting of the Board on March 1st, 1956• - Mr. John Gv.rrell, office ,address, 1296 Hudson Road, again appeared before the Board with regard to the proposed rezoning to °Industrial" property in Tanners Lake Outlots now classified.°Residential". Mr, Currell presented petitions and the abstractors certificate of property owners. Hs did n.ot have petitions'signed by property owners across the highway who are also within 500 feet,of his property, however, Mr. Currell stated that there was no longer any urgency in this matter and that he would secure the needed petitions and present them at a later meeting for action. Mr. Sherman Nordquist appeared before the Board in response to a letter sent him re- garding his temporary suspension as a Town police officer. He stated that illness, his own anal that of his family, had prevented him from carrying out his duties and for that reason had turned in no official logs of duty. It was pointed out that had he so notified Acting Chief Pepin or one of the Board Members, arrangements for a leave of absence could have been made. Acting Chief Pepin was-consulted as to his feelings in this matter. He stated that he and the other officers would be inclined to accept Mr. Nordquist back on the force only on condition that he abide by the rules and regulations governing their work and also that the accepted standards of conduct be followed, Raeder moved, Luebben seconded that Mr. Nordquist-be placed on probation until March 1st, 1956. He and Mr, Pepin were instructed to return and report to the Board meeting on that date. , Ayes - all. Bill. Janssen of the Road Machinery and Supply Company appeared before the Board to explain the details of road equipment .f or arhich an advertisement for bids has been placed. He was referred to Carley, Town Engineer for his negotiations. Mr. Robert Evans of the Evans Construction Company appeared before the Boasxi. He inquired as to the correctness of the currently published building code with regard to the number of square feet required. His understanding was that homes were re- quired to have 800 square feet of finished area in developments unless there was a variety of styles built. In this case, he understood that the previous minimum of 768 square feet was all that was required. The Board pointed out that there had been some confusion at the time the code was adopted but that the printed version is correct. Mr, Evans then suggested that some consideration be givon to the idea of allowing story and a half homes with unfinished half stories be allowed with the old minimum to allow developers to provide more variety. He stated that the price range did not allow them to use the ,present minimum with that type of home. The Board felt the recommendation had some merit and referred the matter to the Planning Commission for study, Vernon Christensen, Electrical Inspector, presented the Board a proposed new elec- trical code which has already been adopted as an ordinance in several neighboring surburban communities including West St. Paul, South St. Paul, Newport, St. Paul Park and North St. Paul. Mr. O~Mara stated that he did. not feel that a new ordin- ance was xequired but that the Board felt that an amendment should be adopted to require the three prong system. It was also pointed out that an effort was being made to adopt a uniform code with other like communities. The proposed ordinance was referred to Carley, Town Engineer, for study and recommendations. Carley, Town Engineer, informed the Board that he now had figures on the road costs for the past year and was prepared to make a proposal for the budget. This matter will be considered at the February 23rd, 1956 special meeting. He also reported that advertisements for road equipment the town proposes to purchase had been placed. March l.st, 1956 has been set as the date for the receipt of bids. Two (2) letters received from the County Plait .Commission concerning Edgerton Heights and Ballingers Addition were referred to Carley, Town Enginoers, for further action. A letter from the Twin City Rapid Transit Company was read, requesting permission to extend bus service from the City Li~iits to County Road A-2 on Jackson Street. It was necessary to present to the Railroad and Warehouse Commission, an approval of such an operation. OoMara moved, Luebben secondod that a resolution be adopted granting such permission as follows;. ~!WHERPAS, The Twin City Rapid Transit Company desires to extend its bus service on Jackson Street from the North Gity Limits of St. Paul to County Road A-2 within the Toim of New Canada; and, °WHER'NAS, The establishment of such bus service along Jackson Street will benefit the residents o£ the Town of New Canada, °NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Board of Supervisors of the Town of Tdew Canada, in regular meeting assembled, does hereby grant permission and authority to the Twin City Rapid Transit Company pursuant to its appli- cation of February 7, 1956, to operate busses upon and along Jackson Street from Larpenteur to County Road A-~, said op- eration to be subject to the regular rules and regulations of the Township affecting streets and roads and subject to road limit restrictions during those periods of the year when such restrictions are in force. It is further mider- stood that the fare to bo charged for the service beyond the city limits of St. Paul will be five cents (5¢') in addition to the regular St. Paul fare, including transfer privileges in St. Paul.° Ayes - all It was brought to the attention of the Board by Moritz, Street Supervisor, that several businesses in the Township have cigarette machines on the premises and have not paid the required license fee. On the advico of the Town Attorney, it was decided to tag the machines and give the owners and apportunity to pick up a permit at the Town Ha11.

They further recommended that the practice be deviated from only in extreme hardship cases. Through a misunderstanding with the Planning Commission, Building Inspector Londin issued seven permits for dwellings not complying with the minimum floor area. The impression given by the developer was that construction had progressed to such an extent, it would be unduly costly to correct the situation. Mr. Londin explained that this had not been the. case. ;The stage of construction had been misrepresented.

He also recommended that building set-back lines be shown on the plat. The Clerk was instructed to refer this plat back to the developer and to notify him that the area is located in a section proposed far rezoning to Light Industrial.

There were no objections to the rezaning,of this property. ~ Next considered was all of the, following in Section 16, Town 29, Range 22; Blocks 1, 2 and 3 of Lincoln Park; Ruhlrs Rearrangement of Lots 1, 2 and 3, 20, 21 and 22 of Block 2, Lincoln Park; All of that part of SW4,of NF4 lying South of Sao Line r~o~w; A11 of SFr of NWq,~ lying South of Soo Nino r~o~w; ~ of Government Lot 2; All of Block 1 and the Ea of Block 2; Cavanagh and ]]awsan~s Addition to Gladstone. The question yras raised at this point as to what type of business is included in Business and Commercial districts. Member O~Mara read that part of Ordinance No. 29 which deals with that classification. No objections were raised on. this area. Chairman Luebben then called on Senator Leslie E. Westin to give some information he had prepared on the school tax situation. Senator G9estin gage a clear a.,nd comprehensive ex- planation of the future prospects for continually' increasing school needs which consume by far the largest share of the tax paid by Town residents. , ThA members of the Planning Commission present vrere then introduced at the request of a member of the audience. - The next classification considered. was that of Light Manufacturing. The first of these areas considered is all of the following in Section 3, Tawn 29, Range 22: Lots 75 to 90, inclusive, of Gardena Addition; All of SW4 of NW,-x~; Tracts A and B of Registered Land Survey #15; All of S~ of NW4 lying West of N.P. R. R. A question was then asked as to the type of industry allowed in a Light Manufacturing district. Member OoMara,read the regulations of Ordinance No. ?_9 with regard to that classification. Mrs. Pfeiffer referred to the ,fact that Highway No. 6l had been designed as a parkway. She stated her objection to its use as a Light P+Iaaxxufaeturing District. She suggested other Town roads be used for this purpose. Chairman Luebben then asked if Mrs. Pfeiffer was a resident of the Township and she replzed that ehe was not. He answered her objection with the statement that it was the intent of the Board to keep the industrial plants as attractive as possible, but that beauty did not pay for itself. He felt the taxes to be gained were far,more necessary and desireable. 1'red Meyer asked if it was not necessary for these businesses to bring their plans before the Board before construction. The section of the Ordinance requiring this action was then xead. Mr. Ballinger asked if that type of restriction would not necessarily restx•ict the businesses and industries that would consider moving into the area. It was pointod out that if the businesses were not of the financial caliber that could afford to put in decent buildings, it would not be desireable to have that business. No other objections were noted to the above mentioned areas. The next area considered was all of the following in Section 4~, Town 29, Range 22: All that portion of SW~ of SEg lying within 500 feet of Highway x-61; Al]. of SEn of SEA UJest of Highway #61; All of SEA of SE~x-, East of and within 500 feet of Highway ¢~61 (Part of KohlmanBS Lakeview Addition); Lots 91 through 100, inclusive, 102. and 103, Gardena Addition; All of SE?~of NE1 lying East of Highway #61; Al ]. of SE~~ of NEA• lying West of and within 500 feet of Highway #61; All. of NPJx4- of NE-x lying S9est of and within 500 feet of Highway #~61. Mrs. Horace Thompson, a resident of White Bear Township, spoke in favor of block zoning as opposed to strip zoning. Mr. Hughes asked. for and received a brief explanation of strip zoning. There were no objections voiced to this last section of property in Section 4, The next property considered was all of the following in Section 9, Town 29, Range ?2: That part of NEB of SWQ, lying North of Highway #36; Blocks ].0, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24~ of Clifton Addition; All of NWT of SE4; Lots 1, 2, 3, ~, 5 and the E. 500 feet of Lots 6, 7, 8, all of Lot 11 and the W. 500 feet of Lots 14 to 18, ~~$clusive of W. H. Howard~s Garden Lots; All of Speiseros Arbolada Addition; All of Huntingdon Park; All of Summer Palace Addition. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Hughes, who have property on the south side of Highway #36 raised an objection to the rezoning of this area. There were no other objections voiced. The consideration then moved to a17. of the following in Section 10, Town 29, Range 22: A11 of NWg of SWa; S~ of SWg. of NWg; All of SWa of NWg lying East of N.P. R. R.; A11 of S~ of NEg of SW~; That part of NWg-~ of SWg lying West of Barclay Street; All of W1 of 5Eg of NWg; A11 of SEg of SEg of NWg except SE°4 thereof; All of W~ of NEg of NWg; Lots 9,-10, 11, 12, 1I4, 15 and 16 of E. G. Rogers Garden Lats; Al]. of Brighton Park; All of Bronsonos Subdivision of Lot l3 of E. G. Rogers Garden Lots. Mr. Ballinger asked that the Board make an exception in the case of Ballingers Addition which is a part of E. G. Rogers Garden Lots. The Boarct agreed to reconsider this area. Mrs. Shade requested that a small piece of property along Highway No. 36, owned by her, be allowed to remain Farm Residence. She stated she had no intention of ever selling this property for industrial purposes and that to rezone it would be awaste of effort. George Rossback, who lives on County Road C adjacent to a strip near the railroad tracks, brought that area up for discussion. Objections were also raised with regard to the .rezoning of property at Hazelwood and Highway No. 36. The discussion centered around property known as Moritz Addition, pre- sently in the process of development by the Shuster-Silvis Corporation. It was pointed out that the developer was aware of the classification of this property at the time it - was purchased. The Board agreed to recognize the objection to this area for further consideration. The next area considered was all of the following in Section lL, Town 29, Range 220 A11 of NWg of SWg lying: West of White Bear Avenue. Frank S. Bradac voiced an objection to the rezoning of this area. The discussion moved to all of the following property in Section 14•, Town 29, Range 22y SE1 of NWa_. of NW49 S~~of NEg of NWg; All of SWg. of NWg lying N. of Soo Line r~o~w. Mr. Domerose refersed back to the prior axes in Section 11. He stated that the State of Minnesota had. indicated that restrictions were placed on the property near the highway a.nd that it could not be used for business purposes. Chairman Luebben promised that an inves- tigation of this matter would be made. Tho discussion .returned to the property in Section 14•. There were no objections to the rezoning of this area. The next area considered was all of the following in Section 15, Town 29, Range 22: That part of Sz of NW~ of N~ lying N. of Soo Lane R.R.; That ,part of S~ of NE4 of NE.~ lying N, or Soo Line R.R.; That part lying between N.P.R. R. and Clarence Street and the Soo Lin© R.R. 'and Frost Avenue. No objections were heard an the rezoning of this area. Final area in the Light Manufacturing classification was a].]. of the following in Section 24, Town 29, Range 22; NE,x-~ of NEB. There were no objections to the razoning,of this area. The next classification tp be considered was that of Heavy Manufacturing. Chairman Luebben explained. that property so classified would not be allowed to remain in that classification if it was found that there were no, buyers, after a reasonable period. of time had elapsed. The first area to be considered was all, of the following in Section,24,,Town 29, Range 22; A11 of SW~; All of SEa except SEA of NVJ~; the SE,x-~ thereof; E, 250 feet of the SW4 of the NWn.; Sl of NEa. There were no objections to this rezoning. The last area considered was all of the following in Section 36, Town. 29, Range 22; A7.1 of Tannors Lake Outlots; A].]. of E11en Grove Addition (Being all of SEA). Nn. objections were voiced with regard to this area. Chairman Luebben then. explained that further consideration would be given to those areas where objections had been made. Only those areas would again be considered and all pro- perty for which no objections had. been made would not be discussed. in future meetings. He then set a continuation of this Hearing for 8 P.M, on Thursday, May loth, 1956 at the Town Hall for reconsideration of the excepted areas. Meeting was recessed at 11;40 P.M. r~ /~ ~ f /~j ~ y~. Clerk May 3, 1956 -The regular semi-monthly meeting of the Board was called. to order at 7;20 P.M. by Chairman Luebben. All members of the Board were present. Two corrections a+ere made in th® Minutes. The property of Mr. Albert Philip is bounded by County Road C on the North rather than the South as stated. The subdivision referred to as h2idville should read Midvale. Luebben moved, O~R4ara seconded that the minutes be accepted as corrected. Ayes - all Swan Anderson appeared before the Board in response to a request for information on the- purchase of insurance on the 7.'own road equipment: He proposed an. a.ll-risk coverage policy which would cover not only the new road grader, soon to be delivered, but also the other road'equigment and tools. The $1,000.00 policy recently purchased on the small tools which are stored in the Pletch building can be incorporated in the new policy. Coverage would be £o'r fire, extended coverage and theft. The theft coverage would be on a $104:`00 deductible basis. The cost of this insurance would be $1.2.5 per $100.00 of coverage for a three (3) year period. Mr. Andex•son left a copy of the policy fox• the Board°s consideration. A representative of the Rornan Construction Company, 1573 English Street, inquired about the regulations with regard to trailer camps. The. proposed. camp was to be established at Highway No. 36 and English Street. Chairman Luebben explained that there was not a very favorable attitude among residents of the Town toward the establishment o£ additional trailer camps and that. it toould be wise, i£ possible, to discard any such plans. The gentleman agreed to discard hie plans. Charles Yarga, 1937 Jackson Streot, appeared before the Board. He requested information as to the Board°s intentions .for providing street lighting. He referred specifically to Jomes let Addition, in the area o£ Jackson Street, Adolphus Street and County Road A-2, where two (2) lights were requested by residents. Chairman Luobben pointed out that this matter had been referred to the Planning Commission for. study and recommendation and that their request would. be brought to the attention of that group. Mr. Yarga also asked if there was any plan by the Town to sod the boulevards. Member 0°Mara pointed out that the only time sodding was done is'when req_ui.red by V.A. or F.H.A. agencies. He i'urther explained that the Tovm would not undertake any sodding projects anal that it eras entirely up to the individual property ovmers in the area. Mr. Yarga also further requested information on the police protection available. A brief summary of the present police system'ruxd plans for the near future were given. This led to a discussion o£ the "peeping tom° reported in that area. The first report o£ the trouble was made to the Town Police on last Monday. Pepin reported he had investigated but had found nothing at the time. The area residents were promised full cooperation in an e£fart to solve their problem. George Tait appeared before the Board representing a group of residents o£ the Hills and Dales arses. He stated that the developer had failed to kelp his promises for adjustments o£ complaints and particularly had impropexly`and inadequately provided aevJage disposal for the area. In some cases it was felt the drainage overlapped property lines. In the discussion., the question arose as to whether there is suffic9.ent property to meet the mixiimvm standards as to distance between wells and cesspools. John McNulty, 2029 Duluth Street x•egistered a complaint against the V. A. inspector stating he felt the inspector favored the developer. W. E. Shift, 2026 Duluth. Streot, William Wordell, 1206 E. Skillman, and Allan Kelly, 1226 E. Shryer Avenue, all members o£ the group, expressed opinions and complaints. Moritz, Street Supervisor, reported he had contacted Mr. Herman, the developer, and had been promised that the situation would-be corrected;a,t I;.;30 this a£tern.oon. The Clerk wa,s instructed to withhold the issuance of permits to this developer until both. Londin, Building Inspector, and Moritz have given their approval. Keh Ridler,'2195 Day Road, whose present home is on Lots 9 and 10 of Heinemannrs Belleview Addition. He asked permission to build. a new home on or near Lots 7 axid 8 0£ that Addition. This property is on the south side of County Road B and East of Highway No. 61. 'Day Road is not graded and is unlikely to be graded because o£ a culvert which provides drainage in the area of County Road B. Mr. Ridler gains access to his home through the alley, which he maintains, behind his home. .He stated the land is impractical for public sale and use and would, always have to bo used on a private. basis,. Memmer, Town Attorney, was instructed to draw up an agreement for Mr. Ridler°s signature to the effect thrit he and any future owners would make: no demands upon the Town for road maintenance. He would then be granted permission to build 3n the area. Mr. Ridler agreed to this arrangement. Luebbsn moved, Kaeder seconded that the matter be referred to the Town Attorney. _. Ayes - all Mr. Fooah®, 436 Mt. Curve Boulevard, appeared before the Board with regard to property bounded by Hazelwood Avenue on the'caest, the Soo Line tracks on the south, Prosperity Road on the east and Junction Avenue on the north. The property was purchased with the. idea that the Evans Contraction Company would develop the area. Mr. Fooehe now feels that the developer does not wish to exexeise the option. He learned that the area was included in the Light Manufacturing classification on the new zoning ordinance map and ~ requested that it remain in its present Farm Residential classification. The Board took no action on the request but agreed to consider it along with other objections made at the hearing held April 26th. ', Upon motion by Luebben, seeond.ed by C~Mara, the following resolution was adoptedt sREISOLVED, That the Chairman and the Glerk are hereby authorized and directed. to enter into a contract with John Klune, debeloper, for stabilization and surfacing of all of the following streets Southlat.rn Drive from Edgehill Road to County Road C _ Bittexsweet Lane from Edgehill Road to County Road C Edgehill Road from Bittersoieet Lane to 5outhlawn Drive in Crestmoor Addition, said contract to be accompanied by a surety bond in the amount of Six Thousand Fiva Hundred and 00100 ($6,500.00) to guarantee completion of the work in accordance with all street ordinances, rules, and regulations of the Town.~~ Ayes .- all' George Stanich, £i05 New Yerk building, St. Paul, requested information as to when the assessments would be .spread on the Stanich Addition. Carley,. Town Engineer, informed' the Board that it is necessary to wait until the weather permits the completion of the work in this .area.. The assessments are to be spread when the final cost is known.. Mr. Stanich also requested that Hazel Street be opened between Larpenteur and North St. Paul Road. He was informed that although the proper road reservation had been made by one of the property owners in that area, it had not been officially filed. The Board does not have the power of condemnation in order to acquire the road rights and therefore the Board cannot take the requested action. Mr. Stanich then requested that the. Town fill an area along Larpenteur Avenue at the intersection with Luella Road, a proposed extension of a city street so-named', between. Ruth Avenue and Hazel Street. In the past a culvert has been installed in that area for the pnrpose of draining .the low spot. The city filled the property to the South blocking natural drainage and thus forming a pool on the north side of I,arpenteur. It was then recommended by Carley, Town Engineer, that Mr. Stanich contact the County and City as a privets citizen to obtain relief, but that the Town should not be a party to the request. The Board concurred with this recommendation. Luebben moved, Kaeder seconded that a hearing be set for 8 P.M, on May 17, 1956 for the purpose of considering the vacation of the alley in Block. 22, Sabin Addition. Memmer, Town Attorney, was instructed to prepare the proper. notices and, publication for this. hearing. Ayes - all Mr. O~Mara then asked for the report requested at a previous meeting on the hourly rates of pay for common labor in use by the County.. Morita, Street Supervisor, provided the information. Luebben moved, Kaodex seconded that the County pay sca.l¢~be established as the official Town pay scale. Ayes - all.. -- i Mrs. Peterson of the Health Board reported that the official publication for clean up in the Township had been made. Certain locations rorhere problems were anticipated were found to be: in good condition upon a later inspection of these areas. She indicated, however, that in some cases-more drastic action would be, necessary. Mrs. Peterson brought up for dascussion, the trailer court known as Philipville on Highway No. 61. Mrs. Peterson stated that upon inspection of the area she had learned from the owners that a drain field had been installed. It had been hastily covered and was not inspected by our Sanitation Inspector when completed. IIpon further invssti- gat ion, Mrs. Peterson had found a number of women in the area who indicated they had wit- neesed the digging of the trenches, the laying of drain tale and the pumping of sewage into the trenches which were then covered. She requested that the owner be forced to open this system so a proper inspection could be made. Moritz reported that he had found an open drain into the farm area behind the commercially zoned property. This open drain led into a, swamp area which drains into Bohlman Lake, It was felt that contamination of that lake rorould result. Londin, Building L3apeetor, reported that a number of trailers had been added to the Court without requesting or paying for the necessary permits. The thirty (30) original trailers were installed before the adoption of the Building Code, on September 23rd, 195, which established the permit requirement.- He reported that twenty-four (24) more had been installed after that date and that twenty-eight (28) more installations are contem- plated. The Board instructed the Town Attorney and Building Inspector to contact Mr. Philip and advise him of the rules and regulations of the Township and that these rules and regulations would b® enforced. The Clerk was instructed to write a letter to the State Department of Health informing them that the Town Board did not feel any further expansion of this trailer court eras warranted because of the health conditions. Mr. Robert Evans appeared before the Board with regard to the same area that Mr. Fooshe "' .had described and discussed earlier in the meeting. He also requested that the property not be rezoned 'to a Light Manufacturing elassifica.tion. This property includes a; pro- posed plat, known ae Belmont Park, presented to the Board at a previous meeting and re- ferred to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission°a recommendation on the Belmont Park plat were then read. The plat was examined by that group and it urea found to meet the minimum requirements. They noted that the plat was in the area recommended for rezoning to Light Manufacturing and that there had, been no disension expressed.. It was decided to hold the plat until a liter meeting for action. The Planning Commission°s recommendations on Little°s Second Addition was then"read. It -was found to meet all requirements but they also found several questions raised by the plat. They felt the drainage of the East one-half would become critical unless soma provision wore made to handle it. Echo Street between Les and Greenbrier Streets is -only a half street.. They asked if an attempt would be made to secure dedication of the other half of this street from adjacent property ownera.~ They recommended that consid- eration be given to setting aside an ores, within the project for recreational facilities for children in view of the lack of such facilities in the immediate neighborhood. The plat was referred back to the developer with the above recommendations but without Board ct on. ~vJit~ reference to the lighting survey, the Planning Commission did not feel that. such a project :would fall within the scope of their regular activities. They suggested that it be referred instead to the Town Engineer or to a consultant from the office of the utility involved. They further suggested that consideration be given to continuing the present policy of granting installations on petition after a verification of the need. A_final decision on the street lighting survey was laid over to the next regular meeting. They also reported that Mr. Victor Fitch had appeared before the Planning Commission to inquire into the possibility of adding his property on the south side of County Road C between Hazelwood and Germain Streets to the list of property to be zoned Commercial. He was informed that this could not be done without proper. posting and publication and was advised to bring the matter to the Town Board°s attention. The Planning Commission recommended that the Town Board take the necessary action to have the zoning map brought up to date with respect to-areas now shoom as Farm Residential, which are actually Residential One areas. Some of the parcels mentioned weret Maryknoll Addition , Gulden-Wakefield Park, North Glenn, the Nona Place.-Flandrau section and large portions of Sections 1'] and 18. These were to be brought to the Town Engineer°s attention when the final zoning map is completed. The Planning Commission also brought to-the attention of the Board the fact that the Joy Property north of Silver Lake is shown as Residential One but is actually a County Park. I :They understood that the road through that area is still being maintained by the Township { and wondered why. After a brief discussion, the Cler2c was instructed to make a request to the County Board that they take over maintenance of Joy Road from East County Line to the North St. Paul city limits. The Board also instructed the Clerk to include that portion of English Street which runs north from County Road B to 6th Avenue, in the request. Chairman Luebben asked for a report on the Dr. Gulden request from the last regular meeting of the Board. Earley, Town Engineer, recommended that a culvert and manhole be installed and that the Town portion of the- S.E. corner of Barclay Street and Gulden Place be then filled. The cost was estimated to be $150.00. The Board instructed the Town Engineer to complete the necessary work.' Carley°s investigation also considered the possibility of lowering the road. The houses on the oast side of Gulden Place are low and could stand a cut in the road but the home on the west side is already five (5} feet higher than the road. It would be necessary to lower the road approximately two (2) to three (3) feet. The cost to so lower the road would be greater than to install the pipe suggested at the previous meeting. Carley°s recommendation was that the drainage problem should be solved by the pipe rather than the ditch. Carley was instructed to contact Dr. Gulden and inform him of the recommendation. Carley then presented the final plat of Minnehaha Highlands. He also submitted a letter with it, stating that it is the same as the preliminary plat and includes the suggested changes by the Town Board. and Plat Commission of Ramsey County. Member 0°Mara questioned whether there was sufficient rpom on the corner lots to allow. cesspools which would fall within the regulations. It was pointed out that the regulations would have to be followed by the developer. The Clerk was then instructed to approve the plat of Minnehaha Highlands on behalf of the Town Board, A lettor from Carley, Totm Engineer, was read to the Board. It stated that Mr. Peloquin had contacted the Town Engineer to sketch a proposed layout for rearranging Blocks 19 and 22 in Sabin°s Addition. This would Dell for vacating a portion of First Streot and opening Curve Street running North and South. In the Town Engineer°s opinion this would be advan- tageous to the Township in that it would eliminate a dead end street. He recommended that the proposal be accepted by the Town Board and that the developer be notified to deposit $150.00 toward engineering. He would then proceed to make the necessary survey and esta- blish. the street grade. Kaeder moved, Luebben seconded that the plat be submitted to the Planning Commission for study and recommendation. Ayes _ all Upon Motion by Luebbon, seconded by 0°Nlaa.ra, the following resolution was adopted: 11RFSOL'VED, That the Chairman and the Clerk are hereby authorize& and directed to enter a contract with Shuster-Silvis, Inc., for stabQization and surfacing of all of Rosewood Street and Kennard Street from Rosewood to Rosewood in Edge- view #2 Addition, said work to be dons by private contractor, eonsstracts to be let by the Town Board pursuant to bid; payment for said work to be made by the deve- loper; said payment to be guaranteed either by performance bond or by cash deposit in the amount of Six Thousand and 00/100 ($6,000.00) Dollars, which sum has been estimated by the Town Engineer to be the amount sufficient to cover the cost thereof; and the Cfierk is authorized hereby to issue building permits, and guarantee completion of the streets as soon as the completed contract, as approved by the Town Attorney, has been deposited with the Clerk, together with bond or Dash deposit in the amount herein specified." Ayes - all It was the recommendation of Memmer,-Town Attorney, and Christensen, Electrical Inspector, after e. conference and discussion of a proposed Electrical Code recommended by the State, that only those portions of the Codo vrhich refer to the use o£ 100 amphere service, the three (3) prong system and metallic cable be included in an amendment to the present Tovrn Building Code. The Board instructed Memmer to proceed with the work necessary to complete that objective. The Board then discussed with .Acting Chief Len Pepin, the specifications for the squad car to be purchased for use by the Town Polies Department. The final specifications are to be i developed and approved for publication and bids at the nest regular meeting of the Board. After some discussion, Raeder moved, Luebben seconded that fire insurance be secured on the Tom snow fence at the best value possible. Ayes ~- all Luebben moved, O'Mara seconded that the all-risk insurance, discussed earlier in the meeting, ~ be secured on the new motor grader and other Tovm equipment in the amount of $20,000.00, j Ayes - all Luebben moved, Raeder seconded that a resolution be adopted authorizing the Clerk to hire temporary help at the rate of $1.25 per hour when and if necessary. Ayes - all Meeting adjourned at 1820 A.M. ~~~ Clerk May 10, 1956 The hearing on the coning map, which is to become a part of the Zoning Ordinance, .begun on April 26th, 1956 and reeessed to this date, was reconvened at 8810 P.N1. by Chairman Luebben. A11 membexs of the Board were present. Chairman Luebben then outlined the purpose of the meeting to be the disposition of objec- tions raised, by individuals and groups, to tkie rezoning of certain parcels of land as proposed on the map. He stated that each parcel would be brought up separately and in order. The first area considered was that between Hazelwood Avenue, the Noxthern Pacific Railroad tracks and County Road "D". Chairman Luebben .pointed out that in the joint meeting of the Planning Commission and the Board, that in view of `the fact that this area had been omitted from the legal description, it would be left in its former classification of Farm Residential He then called for objections to this action. There were none. The next property considered .was that on Highway No. 36 in the area of Atlantic and English Streets. The decision in this case he announced. was to allow the rezoning to Light Manu- facturing to stand. Objectors to this action made themselves lrnown, There were Mr. O~Math and Mr. and Mrs. Donald Hughes both owners of property in the area. Zt was painted out to them that the mere rezoning of the area does not prohibit homes being built on the property. Zt may eventually work out that the entire area may become a residential area. Chairman Luebben explained that to allow a small residential section to rerre.in would mean the loss of a much greater area loss because of the code restrictions on industxial building within i a specified distance of a residential area. He also pointed out that if soma business became interested in the area, a premium would undoubtedly be paid fox the property. I Mr. Hughes asked the question, if the area would not be rezoned but left as a residential area, would it be necessary to hold another hearing such as this, in order to have it zoned to a manufacturing classification. It was explained that under the Code such a hearing would be required. Chairman Luebben then asked if there were any further objections and none were voiced. Considered next were three (3) areas which were all part of the same general area. They were the property to the North and adjacent to the North Glen Addition, the Moritz Addition on the S.W. corner of Hazelwood Avenue and Highway No. 36 and the N,E, and S.W. corners of Highway No. 36 and Hazelwood Avenue. Three individual and group objections had been previ- ously recorded on this area. Chairman Luebben then announced that the Board had decided to reconsider and allow the areas between Barclay Street and Hazelwood Avenue and between Hazel- wood Avenue and Germain Street both North and South of Highway No: 36, to remain in their former classification. This includes all the areas mentioned above. A question was asked whether there were any restrictions as to distances between homes and business and commercial type buildings in a Light Manufacturing classification area. Member O~Mara answered that there were no restrictions. However, he pointed out that plans for building would have to be submitted to and approved by the Board. Mr. Cassidy Greer of the North Glen area asked if there was any positive information caith regard to the fact that the developer knew of the proposed rezoning of the North Glen Addi- tion. Chairman Luebben explained that although there was discussion of this subject, he did n not feel it would be wise or appropriate to make this a matter of record because the infer- oration available was incomplete and in soma cases vague as to the terms of the discussion. He pointed out that the information recorded is available to Mr. Greer at any and all times if he wished to secure it on an individual basis. He further noted that if required legally we would naturally make the minutes available to him: Chairman Luebben then asked if there were objectors to the decision on these areas. None appeared. The final property considered was that on the S. W. corner. of Highway No. 36 and White Bear Avenue owned by Mr. Bradac. This area was proposed for rezoning to a Light Manufacturing classification, Chairman Luebben explained that the combined meeting of the Board and Plan- Wing Commission decided to leave this area in its former classification until Mr. Hradec could settle his personal affairs with the state. Chairman Luebben asked if there were any objections to this move. There were none. Luebben moved that the recgmmendations of the Planning Commission, as now shown on the revised map, be adopted. Mr, Dahl interjected an objection to the proposed zoning of the property South of Larpen- teur Avenue to the railroad right-of-way. This area is proposed for Heavy Manufacturing. He voiced fears that an objectionable inc}ustry might be moved into that area without con- sultation with the people bordering the area, Member O~Mara read that portion of the Zoning Ordinance WBAi.c1~ deals with Heavy Manufacturing areas. Mr. Dahl voiced no further objections upon hearing this information. O~Mara then seconded the motion. Luebben asked for further discussion on the .motions There was none. Ayes - all O~Mara moved, Kaeder seconded that the map as revised be adopted as the official Zoning Map of the Town of New Canada.

It was decided that approval would be withheld on his application. The Clerk was instructed to so in- form Mr. Gerkewicz. Member O~Mara then asked if the application question with reference to the Federal Liquor Stamp had been correctly answered that the applicant did not own and had_ not applied for the stamp. The Clerk informed. the Board that all were correctly answered. O~Mara then explained to the Town citizens present, the problem that has developed as a result of-this stamp. He also announced for the benefit of the applicants present, that in the event of a license violation, neither the original applicant nor any member of hie family would be considered eligible for approval of a new license or a renewal by the Town Board. Kaeder moved, O~Mara seconded that all ,applications for which no objections had been raised be referred to the County-Board with the approval of the Town Board.. Ayes -- all Mr. Joe Wegleitnex and A7r. Henry Clause appeared before the-Board with regard to the plat known as Edgetown Heights. Mr. Wagleitner requ~sted~that the Tovm Engineer be instructed to establish street grades and determine any other necessary engineering work to be done in that plat. The Town Engineer was instructed to proceed with this work at the developers expense. R. C. Wolfgram, Surveyor, Mr. Lewis and Mr. Snyder, both of the Northern. .Building Company, brought before the Board a plat previously known as Clapp-Thompson-s sCity View°. The Noxthern Building Company preferred that the name be changed to °City Heights°. Objections to the original plat were jogs in the-lot lines, which had since been corrected, and ques- tions with regard to necessary drainage easements. The developer indicated that the ease- mexrts had been secured. Luebben moved, Raeder seconded that the plat be referred to the Town Engineer and that when approved by him, ,the Tovm Clerk was authorized to sign the approval of the Town Bnard on the plat. Ayes - all Mrs. Robert J. Germain, 1459 E• Lsaxrie Road appeared before the Board. She presented. a red tag which had been placed on a gas installation in her home some months before by the Gas Inspector. She requested information on the purpose of the tag and whether it should con- tinue to remain there. Mrs. Germain was informed that this matter would be discussed later in the meeting and she vrould be welcome to take part in it. Mr. Jos AckerLappeared before the Board with regard to a lot he owns on the nortk~ share of Lake Phalen. The lot has a 43 foot frontage with a drainage ditch and drainage easement of 5 feet on the west side. The lot to the west, owned by another person has a 60 foot frontage, Neither lot under present conditions has sufficient frontage to be of value but combined could be sold. Ae requested that the drainage easement be moved to one side or the other of the,two lots. Mr. Ackert was referred to Carley, Town Engineer, for ascistasce in solving his problem. Melvin Spiegler, representing the Spiegler Construction Company, requested that he be granted permission to erect a sign on property owned by Marie C. Youngdahl, between County Roed C and Highway #36, facing east toward Highway,~61. A4r. Spiegler has the property owners approval but Londin, Building Inspector has refused to approve the permit until the Board gave itea approval. Chairman Luebben explained the Boardos position with regard. to signs and itos intent to set up more specific regulations regarding them. He suggested that approval be granted until December 31, 1956, by which. time it was felt the regulations would be prepared. Mr. Spiegler agreed to this arrangement. Kaeder moved, Luebben seconded that a permit be granted for a period up to December 31, 1956. Ayes - all Mr. Auger, '732 E. County Road A-2 appeared representing a group in the area. of Bellwood and W. Kenwood Drive. He pointed out that there is a house in the area that is without tivater or modern sanitary facilities. There has been an open toilet at the location for years. Both Mrs. Peterson of the Board of Health and Moritz, Sanitary Inspector, had visited the property but were unable to gain access. They reported that the privy is apparently housed m in a shed or parch-like building attached to the garage which is used as a home.' Chairman Luebben directed that the matter be referred to the Board of Health for further action. Ray Baker, 1969 Jackson Street, accompanied by Ftugene Bodre, 1961 Jackson Street, requested a waiver of the 5 foot building to lot line requirement. He proposed to construct a garage -' attached to his home'and it would require building up to his lot line. The adjoining neighbor agreed to this arrangement. A lengthy discussion of the request pointed out the many difficulties to which such a weaver could lead. It was suggested that he build to the rear of his lot instead. The Board instructed Zondin, Building Inspector, to aid him in the location of the garage, Marvin Mahre, 2081 Prosperity Road, brought to the attention of the Board that the Soo Liae Railroad had applied to the Railroad and Warehouse Commission for permission to remove a spur line track leading to the County Home. He suggested that the spin instead be moved to a location where it might be used to servo a possible industrial area in view of the recent rezoning completed by the Town Board. He further suggested that the Board arrange to have a representative present at the hearing to indicate our interest. It was felt by the Board that the request for removal was justified and that the Commission would have no right to require the spurs relocation. .They also felt that if an,industrial need arose . there would be no diffickzlty in obtaining the necessary trackage. The Board .expressed it's appreciation to Mr. Mehra for hie interest in Town affairs. Mr. Philips of the Philipville Trailer Court appeared. before the Boardsn answer to the complaints discussed at the May 3, 1956 meeting of the Board. It was learned by Memmer, Town Attorney, and Londin, Building Inspector, during a visit to the Trailer Court follow- ing the earlier meeting, that most of the complaints were incorrect. The open drain re- ported was found to be a check box required by the State to determine when expansion of the drain field is necessary. It is not used to dispose of the overflow. Mr, Philips also gave an explanation of the reported incident of the laying of drain tale claimed to have been witnessed by a number of area residents. He had recently removed and cleaned three sections which he then recovered. Mr. Philips denied having installed any additional drain tile. He then outlined his plans for expansion of the Court. Memmer reported that the drainage system startzd on the commercially zoned property and ended on the farm residence property. He felt that this was proper because-the topography of the area indicated better drainage on the farm residence property. Memmer did not feel there was any violation of the code involved in such use. He suggested that the Sanitary Inspector make occasional checks to determine tuhether or not the system was operating properly. Mr. Philipes original permit gave him the right to establish a court of 1VC trailers. His present plans call for the installation of 76 trailers over and above the original 4U. He .was informed of the $10.C0 permit fee required for each of the 76 additional trailers as they are installed. Mr: Philip objected, claiming that the original permit for a trailer court was granted before the establishment of the fee system and should give him the right to expansion vrithout additional cost. The Board pointed out that he was not being charged for that which he originally requested and was grant®d. ,The permit fee applies only to additional requests after the adoption of the new arrangement. This same policy has been followed in all similar cases of permits and license fee requirements. Moritz, Sanitary Inspector, was instructed to inspect the check box.once.each month. A letter from Peter Piaarof was read to the Board. It concerned a drainage ditch on property to the south of the Philipville Trailer Court. The Town Board of Health found the ditch filled with rubbish and directed that it be cleaned. Mr. Piaarof who is the now owner of the property, complained 9.n hie letter that he had not been responsible fox the condition and did not feel he should be ordered to correct it: The Board felt that in.spite of his plea, it is the responsibility of the property owner and that the Board of Health order should stand. Ruth Oslund, 18'76 W. Kenwood Drive, appeared before the Board. She had previously re- quested that some attention be given to a small playground area in her neighborhood. A town employee had looked over the situation but no work had been done. She was ind formed that because of road weight restrictions it had been impossible to haul fill into the area. Mrs. Oslund was promised action in the near future.. Mrs. Oslund also a:,ked about the light she had requested at W. Kenwood Drive and Bellwood, Tha Board informal her that the request was being considered along with other street light. requests. The installation would be made if that location were determined to be high enough 3n priority among the limited number for which funds were available. The discussion was than begun with regard to the dispute between George Klein of the Klein Plumbing and Heating Company and Harry Thompson, Town Gas Inspector, bot9:of whom were pre- sent. The two principle issues were the failure to install stop cocks on certain gas appliances and what were claimed to be faulty Lost sheets submitted by Mr. Klein on gas furnace installations. A previous ~geeting of K1ei,n and Thorapaon with Member, Town Attorney, had been thought to settle the disagreement-but apparently had not. Mr. Rlein indicated he was aware of .the requirement that stop cocks be installed in answer to Member OiMara~s question but maintained that the original installation had been made before the adoption of the code requiring them, had been adopted, The permits were found to have been issued in August, 1955 and the code was adopted September 2j, 1954, Mr,.Klein stated that these were conversions of original installations made before the codes adoption. O~Ma.ra pointed out for the benefit of Mra, Germain that no danger was involved, The addition of the stop cock is merely for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply without interfering with other gas appliances if repair work is necessary, Mr, Klein stated that no ob~ec~ion had 13een made prior to February, 1956, approximately six months after the work was completed, Thompson atate~l the first written communication ~ was made in 1956 but verbal discussions had proceeded this, He also stated that all contractors had-been required to follow the code and no exceptions had been allowed. Tha Board determined that Mr. Klein would be held responsible for the installation of the shut..off on any work started after the adoption of the code, The discussion then turned to the gas furnace test records claimed to be in error, When Mr, Rlein~s attention had been called to the faulty records, he stated that he had immediately spot checked them and found an error in the test reading but that the installations were correct, He stated there had been no danger involved to the occupants of the homes. Thompson pointed out that the original tests had bean made by a person who did not have a certificate of competency as required by the code, The tests, even after correction, did not meet code Standards, Klein claimed the furnaces would not test out with any better results. Thompson stated that all other inata,llers ware able to meat the requirements, Yt was decided to secure a disinterested person to check the test records for accuracy, A-final decision would not be made until this was completed, Klein asked permission to be granted permits on a few homes presently .contracted for and for which applications had been submitted. The clerk was instructed to issue several permits which had been held up pending a decision from the Board. - Luebben moved that a revision be made in lighting in the new Town Hall by the Hillcrest Electric Company fox an amount not to exceed $jg5,00, Kaeder seconded, Ayes - all Carley, Town Engineer, presented the corrected zoning map, It was found thp,t several ck}anges resulting from the hearings had not been made, Carley was to make the corrections, Carley then presented the proposed street oilis}g program for 1956, This program was compiled as a result of the inspection by the Board members and Town Engineer, The planning Commissions report on the property North of Junction Street,. South of County Road °Bs, East of the Northern Pacific Railroad and West of Birmingham was read. The Planning Commission Did not approve the plat for the following reasons: 1, The pencil sketch on an existing print did not seem to constitute proper presentation suitable for a permanent file,.,. 2, The sketch was poorly defined and some dimensions were lacking, j, No topographic information was inclv.ded, The sketch is to be returned to the developer with instructions to prepare a proper plat for consideration, The cl®rk was instructed to write a letter to the Board of County Commissioners to the effect that the Town Board has taken note of their action dealing with surveying the possibility of a joint police radio sgstam for the Sheriffs office and rural Ramsey County communities at their May ~, 1956 meeting. The letter is to inform them that the Town of New Canada would welcome such connections and would immediately hook up a ' 'minimum of two police cars and two fire departments with the system, The Clerk was instructed to write a letter to tk:e Board of County Commissioners pointing out that an.accidpnt had occurred at one of the railroad cros~inga where signals had been previously requested.

He requested that Ids Street be continued through presently undeveloped property to Price Street. This request was made because it would be a natural continuation and would provide drainage through the area. Mr, and Mrs. John M. Torseth, owners of the property through which Ide Street would pass, were also present. They asked that this action not be taken. They preferred that the street instead run East and P7est along side their property so lot could be .platted as they were in the area to the South of Price Street. Carley, Town Engineer, indicated that the drainage would be oqually troublesome no matter which plan were used. The eventual solution, he pointed out, would be the installation of storm sewers. It was felt that in view of the fact that it made little difference which plan were used, the desires of the property owners should take precedence. The Board concurred 3n this apinion. Mr. and Mrs. Torseth then presented a highway easement far the N. 30 feet of the Nr-~ of the SE-,r~ o£ the SWq of the SWq of Section 15, Town 29; Range 22, subject to Clarence and Birm3ng« ham Streets.

Member O~Mara pointed -out that Mr. Gerkewicz had been called in fora violation during the course of the past year. The discussion brought out the fact that' Mr. Cerkewicz had been charged with serving set tips after hours. This is not a violation which calls for license revocation and consequently did not necessitate the disapproval of the Board.

M.rs'. Peterson reported for. the Board of Health. A complaint was received with regard to the property on the corner of Frost Avenue and English Street.. The building which stood there had been dismantle=.d. and the property had been left in an unsightly condition. Mrs. Peterson stated that she had contacted the property owners on about May 15th, 1956 and had requested that the area be cleaned. Tt has not yet been done. Chairman Luebben .instructed Mrs. Peterson to give the owners notice and a period of time in which to comply. The owners are to be informed that they will be brought into Justice of the Peace Court if they do not comply. The next matter discussed was a pig farm at Fast Avenue and Linwood Avenue. Mrs. Peterson reported that she had investigated the situation there and conditions were terrible. She felt it was definitely a hazaxdeua health situation. A memo from the Tnvm Attorney directed the attention of the Board to Article III, Paragraph ]! of the Zoning Ordinance which restricts farm residence property to use'for stock raising and dairying. Hog raising and handling is permitted only in accord.an.ce with rules and regulations established by the lawful governing body. Memmer pointed out that the sitvation could be corrected not only through the health point of view but also through the adoption'gf rules and regulations that would prevent the condition from continuing.

She asked. if a decision had been reached with regard to the stop cocks and the red tag placed in her home indicating the lack of the stop cock. She was informed that the tag could. be removed. The Board decided that the agreement reached in the meeting of George T{7.ein, Harry Thompson and - - Memmer, Town Attorney, to the effect that th.e stop cocks would not be required, would. stand.

He was asked to waft until Carley, Town Engineer, arrived at the meeting. Mr. Wegleitner also requested information ae to whether or not building permits could be issued for this area. He indicated he had several purchasers who were ready to build. This was also to be held until Carley arrived. Mr. Phillip Oswald appeared before the Board. He owns seven (7) lots in Fairview Heights Addition: between Flandrau and Germain facing Faixview Street. There is presently a 33 foot street easement on the north side of the street. No easement has been given for the south side of the street, .the side on which Mr. Oswald plans to build.

The location of the sign is to be immediately north of the entrance to the motel on. the owners property i on Highway No. 61. The Board told Mr. Aolter to proceed with the erection of the sign. For the information of the Building Inspector, they stated that only signs not connected directly with a business establishment, need be referred to the Board for approval. Jack Luth, representing the New Canada Voters League, asked what action had been taken on the appointment o£ a Recreation Committee. It was explained that some preliminary contacts had been made, but because of the current activities of the contacted persons, no formal action had. been taken. The eventual plan is to appoint representatives from each of the Township areas. It was noted that the subject was listed on the aggenda for the meeting in progress. A_discuasion was. held with regard to the insurance policy held by the Township on the Little Canada Fire Aepartment building: Another letter was received from the Bachman- Anderson Agency in response to A1r. Memmer~s letter of June 12th, 1956 stating they still had not received the information they required. Memmer informed the Board tba,t he had again written to inform them that the problem involved was not whether Little Canada held another policy but that New Canada Township had no insurable interest in the property. He felt that the refund should date back to the date of separation or possibly the date of the property settlement vrlth Little Canada. Carley, Town ~ngineos, arrived at the meeting and Mr. Wegleitner:~:s request for road .grades in lldgetown Heights was brought to his attention. Carley explained that all grades had been established but the stakes were not set out until requeated'by the developer. By waiting until the day before work was to be started, it prevented the possibility of the stakes being disturbed. A disenasion followed on the issuance of building permits in Edgetown Heights. It was explained that when an agreement had bean reached relative to the stabilization of the roads, building permits could be issued. Mr. Wegleitner stated he proposed to pay for this work anal it would not be on an assessment basis. Carley agreed to prepare the cost figures so final arrangements could be made. Mr. Oswaldoa problem in Fairview Heights Addition was then discussed.. Mr. Oswald was informed that it would be necessary to draw up an agreement for an easement of 33 feet on the property for road purposes and an agreement to pay for the construction of the road at the will of the Township on an assessment basis against the benefitted property. The property owners would also have to agree that they will not object to the assessment when the Township decides to put the road through. It was suggested that an attempt be made to get the easement on the adjoining property as well. Memmer, Town Attorney, was instructed to draw up the proper agreements so building permits could be issued to Mr. Cawald. The property, for which no easement has been granted, wfill not be issued building permits. Gerald Spector, Mount Curve Builders Company, Mt. Curve Park, requested a letter from the govexning body agreeing to accept and maintain all streets in Mt. GY~rve Park plat upon completion by the developer. It was explained to Mr. Spector that the developer may complete the grading of streets but that the Township now completes the stabilization work at the expense of the developer. A discussion began, relative to community water systems. A letter to the Board from the Planning Commission was read at this point. .The Planning Commission pointed out that al- though they had been opposed to community water systems,- in the light of recent develop- ments, they #'elt this policy should be reconsidered. The points auggeated for consider- ation were as follows: ' 1. The Planning Commission felt that community water systems may be desirable, particularly in the northern part of the Town where the possibility of con- -- tamination exists. - 2. Because some developers may be eonaidering the installation of such systems, it was felt an ordinance should be adopted to regulate such installations with the following points considered in-the preparation of the ordinance: a. The water systems should be confined to specific areas rather than on a Township franchise basis; b, Profit from. such an operation should be held to a reasonable figure but established so that operators may be assured of a fair return. for their money; c. A provision should be made for the Township to acquire ownership of , the individual systems, either by purchase from the developer by com- ' ppnration for his un»amortized balance, or as a receiver vahen the devel- opers have recovered their costs, if tho Township wishes to assume the operation~of any system or systems. 3. The Flanning Commission pointed out that similar projects axe 9.n process or candor consideration in White Bear and Mendota Townships and suggested that these may be of value in the study of the problem in New Canada Township. The Mt. Curve Builders made application for the installation of a community water system in Mt. Curve Park. The Board promised a thorough study of the request. It was noted by Member O~Mara that the lets were below the minimum 75 foot width require- ment of the Building Code although they did fulfill the 10,000 square foot standard. Mr. Spector was advised to take the plat back to hie surveyor for correction according to the Building Code. He was referred to the Town Engineer for information on the street grading and stabilization. The Clerk was directed to write a letter to the V.A. to the effect that the Township will accept and maintain the roads in Mt. Curve Park if they are completed according to the recommendations of the Town Engineer. The Planning Commissionaa letter with regard to the plat known as Fred and Toms Addition was read to th.e Board. They stated they had been unable to take positive action for the following reasons? - ' 1. No topographic survey, as requested after the previous examination of the property, accompanied. the presentation. 2. These appeared to be an error in the dimensions of the property west of Curve Street which 'has a total frontage of 225 feet while the same lineal section east of Curve Street totals 230 feet. 3. The near plat does not include block numbers. The individual lots stihl carry the old lot numbers of two per each new lot. They recognized that a legal description would include the old lot numbers but felt that new numbers should be assigned on new plats. 14. They assmned that proper legal atepa ttiuuld be takes to vacate the alleys in this plat and the portion of Burke Street between Curve Street and the Northern Pacific xight-of-way. Carley, Town Engineer, .felt that no topographic survey was necessary in view of the fact that the property is flat, however he in.- - dicated that it could be provided. He noted that those was an error in dim- - ensions on the west side of Carve Street and stated, his intention to correct - it. The alleys in the plat have been previously vacated. Member, Town At- torney, was instructed to prepare the necessary notices and papers for the vacation of Burke Street, formerly known as let Street. The hearing was set by Chairman Luebben fox H P. M. on July 19, 1956• After a discussion of the relative merits of a new plat name as•opposed to a iearrange- ment of the previously existing plat, it was decided to use the rearrangement as the least~expenside method. Laebben movod, Kaeder seconded that the plans for the rearrange- ment of Blocks 19 and Z2, Sabin Addition be approved subject to the vacation of Burke Street from C~~ve Street to the Northern Pacific right-o£-way and the provision of the Township with an easement for Curve Street. Ayes - all Mrs. Peterson reported that she had personally contacted the owners of the property at Frost Avenue and English Street but they had not cleaned. up the area in question. Chairman Inaebben instructed her to bring the owners intn court for failure to comply with the order. Mrs. Peterson reported that she had made eight (8) trips_to Wakefield Beach in the past three (3) days in answer to reports of dog bites. She had been unable to trace the dogs because they had been taken home as soon as the incidents oceurred. Mrs. Peterson also reported on the dump situation brought to the attentian of the Board by Mrs. Robert Germain. Mrs. Peterson discovered that a previous Board had given per- mission to establish a dump in the area because the Township has removed sand from the area. The previous Beard had also agreed to cover the dump when filled: It was decided to urait until Moritz, Street Supervisor, returned. from his vacation before taking definite action. Mrs. Peterson reported that she~had come across a cesspool installation being done by an unlicensed operator who also had ao permit, She instructed him to obtain a license and permit. Upon her return, the operator had riot obtained a license but had secured a permit through Blake Excavating Company. The Clerk was instructed to contact Mr. Blake and have him appear at the next meeting to answer for having purchased a permit far as unlicensed operator. Carley, Tawn Engineer, reported on the culvert bide received at the last meeting. Both bids met the specifications as advertised and were for the same amount, $563.50. After some discussion on the proper way to handle such a situation, Luebben moved, Kaeder seconded that the bid be awarded to the St. Paul Corrugating; Company. Ayes - all Carley, Town Engineer, presented. the tax assessment roll for the street work completed in Stanich Highlands. Chairman Luebben set the hearing for 8x15 P•M. on July 19, 1.956.

W.4 of the S.W.~ of Section 5, Town 29, Rexzge 22 subject to Stillwater Road. The Cahanes easement applies to Fauquier Street and the Zacho easeient to East Seventh Street. Carley, Town Engineer, agreed to arrange for the proper filing of the easements. The Clerk was instructed to write a,letter to Mr. Richazd. Post advising him. that the Toren Engineer had examined and approved the revised grading plans for Conway Street. Mr. Raddatz, Chairman of the Planning Commission, reported that his group had carried. on same preliminary discussion on the proposed sign regulations.in the Township. He suggested that a joint meeting of the Board and Planning Commission be held to consider the matter. A letter from a Mr. F.

A delegation from the Hills and Dales Addition appeared before-the Board requesting infor» oration as to the responsibility for the maintenance of roads in their area. The roads aro currently in such poor condition that home owners in the area are unable to drive on the roads to their homes without difficulty. Mr. Herman had informed them that the roads were the responsibility of the Tovmship. The Board pointed out that the roads had not yet been accepted by the Town of New Canada for maintenance, because they have not been completed, A check of the undertaking agreement with the Modern Homes Conatructioxi Company revealed that the contract calla for completion of the roads in question by November 1, 1956. Under these circumstances, the roads remain as the. responsibility of Mr. Herman. However, the Board felt that alloying'the roads to remain in such condition would be hazardous from a £i re protection and safety point of view. Luebben moved that the Glerk be instructed to withhold all permits for further work in the Addition by the Modern Homes Cpnstruction Company until the streets on which there are completed residences are put 3n satisfactory and passible condition to meet the approval of the Street Supervisor, O~Mara seconded.

The Board explained that as soon as the h¢me construction is completed the berm would be properly rebuilt and would solve their problem. It was also pointed out that water flowed down Livingston-Place at it°s junction with Kennard instead of continuing it°s course down Kennard.

Hannay, 1499 Grandview, appeared before the Board and explained that several months earlier his son had been bitten by a dog in the area. He requested information as to what action could be taken in such a Casa. He explained he had contacted the Town Hall and the Ramsay County Sheriff. A deputy sheriff had answered the Ball and directed the owners of the dog to tie the dog for a 14 day period. No one had returned to determine whether the dog suffered £rom rabies or not. The Board pointed out that when the Sheriff°s delntty answers a call, they feel the Sheriff°e deputy should follow through. Town Polies Officer Ziemer explained that these cease-were usually reported to the Town, Police for follow-up but it had not been done in this case. Mr. Manney was told that he could sign a complaint against the dog owner with-the Justice of the Peace in this or any future similar case, The Clerk reported that word, had bees received from Mr. Bendickson, former Town Dog Catcher, that he. was again available to answer complaints.

A report was promised at the next meeting. A discussion was held on the Motor Beat Ordinance and its enforcement. Chairman Luebben reported that the Ramsey County Sheriffs office will not enforce this ordinance. Because of the many complaints received from Town residents about the speed and manner in which motor boats had been handled, it was decided to use the Town police 3n the enforcement of the ordinance. ~ The dump reported by Mrs. Robert Germain ~.n the vicinity of Laurie .Road, Sixth Avenue and Hazelwood was brought to the attention of Moritz, Street Supervisor. Hs reported that the dump had been opened to replace gravel taken from the area. A previous Board had given permission to the owners and had agreed to keep it covered. Later when lots had been sold, the dump was closed. It was then recently reopened. In view of the earlier closing, the Board felt they could order it kept closed. Moritz was instructed to so inform the owners of the property. Moritz advised the Board that he did not feel all applicants for licenses should be auto- matically approved. It was suggested that the inspector concerned should be contacted.

Moritz, Street.Suporvisor, in response to a request by him, was instructed to clean out the culvert serving the County ditch which runs under Maryknoll Avenue near Trost Avenue. Moritz, Street Supervisor, reported that the same drainage difficulty confronting the Hills and Dales Additions existed in James 5th Addition. The Board instructed the Town P)ngineer to notify the developer that it wras necessary for him to provide catch basins of a size adequate to serve the drainage pipe in the area. I,aPlante, Gas Inspector, recommended that the license application of the Natrogas Yne„ 3900 Washington Avenue, Minneapolis, be denied for the remainder of year 19$6.

The Board pointed. out that in vietv_of the Planning Commissions rec- ommendation and the fact that no formal request for rezoning, as prescribed by the Zon- ing Ordinance, had been submitted, no.further action would be taken on the request. Mr. Black was advised that if he wished any further consideration it would be necessary for him to initiate the action through a formal petition in which case a hearing would be set. Mr. Roland Chaput, 2648 E, Minnehaha Avenue, asked fox the decision of the Board with regard to the matter referred to Memorex, Town Attorney, and Londin, Building Inspector, at the last meeting. Londin felt there was no justification for the denial of a permit to move the building requested. Mrs. Peterson agreed with the recommendation after an inspection of the property in hex position as Health Inspector. Memmer, Town Attorney, felt there was no legal basis for denial of the permit from a nuisance standpoint. Kaeder moved, Luebben seconded that the permit be granted for the erection of the shed on the garage. Ayes - all Mrs. Vanderhoff, Route. 6, St. Paul, requosted permission to return to her home which had previously been condemned as unsanitary. The Board was informed that new plumbing and wiring had bee.-x installed. Rev. Krause accompanied Mrs. Vanderhoff and stated thab the required repairing and cleaning, had. been completed. Londin, Building Inspector, and Mra. Peterson, Health Inspector, recommended that the owners. be allowed to reoccupy their home. Luebben moved, Kaeder seconded that the request be approved. Ayes - all Mr. Richard Hoffman, 2510 Hudson Road, appeared along with a delegation of neighbors., in support of his request for tkze rezoning of the property south of Hudson Road and west of Sterling Avenue. This area of approximately. l5 or 20 acres has been zoned Business and Commercial but is in use as a farm. The group asked that it be rezoned to a farm or residential classification, They were advised that it wrould be necessary to proceed under the section of the Zoning Ordinance which outlines the procedure for such requests. The group also asked if any action could be taken with regard to a feed store in the area. The group agreed that no objection had been raised when the store was established but now felt that the business was undesirable and unsanitary. They reported that an out-door toilet was in use on the property and that rats were multiplying in the area. Although the Board did not feel that any Town regulations had necessarily been violated, they referred the matter to Mrs. Peterson, Health Inspector, and Londin, Building. Inspector, for investigation and recommendation. John Yorga, 2806 Brpokviety Drive, and Frank Xorga, 2qp Ramsey Street, appeared before the Board with regard to a building permit requested by John Yorga, The building permit has been applied for an signed by a Mr. Deiss who is not a licensed contractor in the Town- ship. It was explained that Mr. Deiss had merely agreed to secure the permit but had no part in the construction of the home involved ether than to supply the lumber. He should not have signed the application for a permit. John Yorga presented the bills incurred in the construction of-the home to show that he is building for himself. London, Build- ing Inspector, had asked them to appear merely to clear up the situation. The Board -felt that because no violation had occurred the building permit should be ,issued. Katherine Lendway, X60 Fuller. Avenue, St. Paul, appeared before the Board. She owns Lot 10, Block 3, except the westerly 50 feet, Midvale Acres, Ramsey County, Minnesota, which is 50 x 300 feet. She requested permission for the issuance of a building permit on the lot which. is below the minimum frontage requirement in view. of the fact that no adjoining property is available. Tnzebben moved, Kaeder seconded that the Building Inspector be permitted to approve a building permit on this property if it meets the Town Building Code requirements. Ayes - all A large delegation of residents from the North Glen Addition presented a petition re- questing the closure of a drainage ditch between 14$5 and 1477 E. Viking Drive running north and south. The petition pointed it out as a safety and sanitary hazard. They requested that a closed drainage system be installed and the ditch filled. The matter was referred to the Town Engineer for investigation and recommendation. Ljungren, representing the Town Engineer, reported that neither the drainage ditch nor streets in the addition had been accepted by the Township. Robert Borowske, 1737 Edgerton, explained that his septic tank had been draining into. a low spot at the rear of his home. When neighbors. objected to this situation he started installing a drain field. The drain field was found by Town employees to extend into a Tovra road easement for Kingston Street. Mr. Borowske agreed that if he were allowed. to complete the drain .field in its present location he would move or abandon it at the .request of the Board. In view of the fact that it appears unlikely that Kingston Street will be graded through in the foreseeable future, Luebben moved, Kaeder seconded that permission be granted for the temporary use of the road easement not to exceed eight (8) feet of the right--of way for the placement of a drain field by Mr. Borowski. Ayes - all Mrs. Paterson, Realth Inspector, reported that after a conversation with Mr. Philips of the Philipville Trailer Court, he had agreed to build an incinerator for the disposal of refuse and to haul all garbage, from the court away. She reported that this same request had been made of the Gladstone Trailer Court and they had also agreed to comply with here. request. A representative of the Mt. Curve Builders presented a corrected platting of Mt. Curve Park. The Board requested that a topographic map plan of the proposed community water supply system be supplied. The plat. was then referred to the Town Engineer for study and report. Robert and Paul Zuppke, representatives of Nstrogas, Inc., appeared before the Board in answer to a written request that they do so. The purpose was to give them an opportunity to be heard in view of the fact that the Town Gas Inspector had recommended rejection of their request fora gas installers license. After some discussion, it was decided to lay the matter over until Member Kaeder could contact LaPlante, Gaa Inspector, and determine his feelings with reference to the granting of the license. Ljungren, representfng the Town Engineer,~presented the recommendations for the install- ation of street lights in the Township as requested at an earlier meeting. The proposed plan called for the installation of ~2 lights at points considered most critical in the Township. The Board, after some discussion, instructed Ljungren to proceed with the installation of the lights. The Clerk read a letter from Carley, Town Engineer, which suggested that the Township be divided into drainage districts. It further proposed that a separate stugty be made of each district with a view toward. providing a plan for the drainage of that district into a lake or other natural reservoir. An estimate of the cost of such a study was included. It was decided to lay this matter over to a special meeting at which a complete discussion could be held. Pursuant to Ordinance X14- of the Town of New Canada, Chairman Luebben directed that a hearing will be held at 8;00 P.D~., September 6, 1956 at the Town Nall to consider the the condemnation of property, deemed dangerous and unsafe to persons, at the following location; Lot 7, Block 2, Perkinsview Addition Letters of notification have been sent to: Harold A. Banner, 321 4th Ave. So:, South St. .Paul, and Michael and Edith M. Hannon, Wyoming, Minnesota The recommendation of the Planning Commission was read regarding the petition of Gerald I. and Mildred C. Killian for the rezoning of property adjacent to 2200 White Bear Avenue from Residential 1 to Residential 2. The Planning Commission stated that it could see no objection to the acceptance of this request. The Clerk was instructed to inform the petitioners of the proper procedure with regard to rezoning. A plat and topographical map of Oswald Paxk directed to the attention of the Planning Commission was also discussed in the report of that group. They recommended that the plat be accepted subject to the resolution of the following objections: 1. Street continuity in the area appears to be in poor condition. The present path of the street named °Fairview~~ is confusing. It appears on the north side of the plat. The street on the south side is unnamed but appears to be a continuation of Fairview from the west. 2. The street on the south side of the plat appears to be only a Half street. 3. The drainage of the north section of the plat appears to be questionable, particularly in the section occugied by Lot 4. The plat was referred to the Town Engineer for further study partino.larly with regard to the drainage problem. Luebben moved, Kaeder seconded that Ordinance No. 32 be adopted as follows: AN ORDINANCD AMIINDING ORDINANCE X20 ENTITLED, °AN ORDINANCE REGULATING AND CONTI~LLING THE SETTING, IGNITING OR STARTING OF FIRES WITHIN NEW CANADA TOWNSHIP°.

The Board discussed with LaPlante, Gas Inspector, the issuance of a license to Natro- gas, Inc. It was decided to grant the license for the period from September 1, 1956 through Decomber 31, 1956. The Clerk was instructed to write a letter to the Company explaining that any further violations will of necessity result in immediate and per- manent revocation of their gas installers° license.

The Board reviewed the progress made in the negotiations with the City up to this point. They pointed out that the proposal. was presently in the hands of the Technical Committee and under study by them. Although no date could be set it was anticipated that an answer could be expected in the near future. John McNulty, 2C29 Duluth Street, asked, if it were true th at a roller skating rink is to be established at the corner of F'rast Avenue and English Street. The Board informed him that, although they knew such a plan was to be proposed, no request for permission had been received nor had any building. plans been presented to the Township. They pointed out that it would be necessary to gain the Boards approval both as to construction ,plans and licensing before the project could be undertaken. Both Chairman Luebben and Member Ootdara stated they favored ho7.ding a public hearing before making a decision in this matter, and that interested persons would be given an opportunity to present objections or favorable comments on the prnposil. The Board indicated it was still open..minded on the eubject. Mx. Stan Rag7.er, 2017 Duluth'Street accompanied Mr. RScNulty and both indicated their opposition to the roller rink, giving reasons for such opposition. ` This same group then-asked whether the fact that the roads in the Hills and Dales Addition had not yet been accepted by the Township would affect school. bus transpor- tation in .the area.

Pursuant to due cal:L and notice thereof, Chairman Luebben declared the meeting open for the hearing set for 8900 Y.M. onn the condemnation of property at the follovting locations Lot y, Block 2, Perkinsview,Addition The condemnation of the basement structure thereon had been recommended by the Build. ing Inspector. as dangerous and unsafe .to persons. Gordon Sinclair, a S.t. Paul Attor- ney, appeared tc request i delay in-the decision of the Board. He stated that the admittedly poor condition of the structure wrzs the result of litigation between Mr. Hannon and Mr. Balmer as to the oemership of the property. Mr. Bahnex had purchased the property from Mr. Hannon and was now suing for the return of his money. He asked that the matter be laid over until the next meeting of the Board. Mr. Sinclaix in- dicated that there were several prospective purchasers for the property who would mako immediate use of the property and in this manner correct the condition presently existing. He offered this as the speediest solution. Chairman Luebben laid the matter over until the arrival of Memmer, Town Attorney. Mr, Mado7.e, representing Gustav Brohaugh, 2317 Commonwealth Avenue, appeared to re- quest the ap;~?roval of a plat known as Kortus Addition. The property lies on County Road A~-2 between Edgerton Street and Payne Avenue. He was informed that it would be necessary to furnish a topographical map of the area, in addition to the plat, for study by the Town Engineer. After investigation by the Town Engineer, the Planning Commission would consider the plat and make its recommendation to the Board. The matter o£ the condemnation proceedings w~.s reopened at this point with the arrival of Memmer,°Town Attorney. He infoxmad the Aoard that under the ordinance after a decision had been made by them, a condemnation notice could be sent 'to the pxeper~y owners. The property owners are then given 30 days in which to correct the situation. If the work has not been done by that time, 'the structure may be destroyed by .the Township and the cost of the stork collected through a lain against the property. Memmer was also asked if the Township would assume any liability for personal in- juries by delaying the decision. He stated that the property owners would remain liable in such an event. 'Chairman Luebben asked if 'there were any persons present Soho would object to a delay in the decision. Hearing none, he declared that the hearing was concluded and that the matter uvuld be taken under advisement and a decision rendereel at the September 20th, 195( meeting. Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Chairman Tnxebben declared the meeting span at 8:30 P.M. far the hearing on the application of Carley Jean Saxe and James E: Higley for a 3.2 malt liquor license at the Scandinavian Night Club, 1682 Rice_ Street. Chairman Luebben called three. (3) times for objections to the approval of the liconse~. None were heard. Luebben moved, Kaeder seconded that the license be recom» mended for approval by the Board. of Ramsey County Commissioners. Ayss - all Mr. Ruecker, whc had appeared earlier in the meeting with regard to the drainage ditch in the North Gleh Addition, asked to hive this matter considered. After considerable discussion, during which it was pointed. out that the ditch had been constructed according to specifications, it was decided that some action would have to betaken relative to the covering of the ditch. It was .felt to be a hazard and constant source of irritation in its present condition. Chairman Luebben directed that a meeting be arranged with the Vetaranes Administration, the contractor, Town I~xgineer, Town Attorney and himself to arrange gar a storm sewer and to determine by whom the cast of such a project would be paid. Arrangements were a7.ao made for an inspection tour of the streets in North Glen Addition with a report of the findangs to be made to a representative of the home owners in the area. The inspection was set for the following day, Friday, September '7th, 1956, to be made by Chairman Luebben and Ljungren, representing the Town Engineer. Vernon Hughes, 14$6 E. Sandhurst Drive, appeased be£.ore the Board. He stated that Barclay Street between Sandhurst and County Road B had not been completed. Ljungren pointed out that the firm which originally undertook the construction of this street has since gone into bankruptcy. The new owner of the equipment, a former employee of the firm had agreed to complete the work required if the Township would furnish the necessary oil. This street was also added to the inspection tour on Friday, September 7th, 1956, with the Town Engineer to determine what corrective steps would be necessary. .The Board agreed to furnish the oil if the contractor would furnish the labor and equipment for `, the job. Frank Johnson, 1634 Ferndale, appeared before the Board. He brought attention to sev- eral undeveloped areas near his home where the property has groom over with weeds. He requested that the Board take action to have them cut: He pointed out that in one case a sign gave the telephone number of someone attempting the sale of the proporty and felt they could be Contacted for action.

Gerald and Mildred Killian also asked the status of Van Dyke Avenue from County Rd. B north to White Bear Avenue: They were informed that this road had merely been rough graded by adjacent property owners and had never been accepted by the'Tdvmship. The Tocan Engineer had been retained to determine street grades for First Avenue and Van Dyke Avenue adjacent to Lot 1, Block 29 and Lot 2, Block 20 of Smith and Taylors Addition and the drainage needs for the area in preparation for the development of this area. Ljungren, representing the Town Engineer, reported that he felt in order to properly drain the area it weuld be necessary to include adjacent property in an overall plan. This would involve use of a 36 inch pipe at considerable expe'nse., Mr, and Mrs. Killian decided to discuss this matter more fully before reaehing a decision. Mr. and Mrs. Killian also requested the vacation of the alley in Block 29, Smith and Taylors Addition. They were informed of the proper legal procedure to accomplish this. Memmer, Town Attorney, agreed to set up a form to be used for such a request. The Clerk was instructed,to provide this form to Mr. Killian upon its receipt. Member OrMara reported on a meeting of representatives of various political sub-divisions of Ramsey C~.nmty, he attended recently. Subject of the meeting was the establishment of a central Ramsey County police and possibly fire department radio system. He outlined the proposed system, casts involved and suggested method of financing. Chairman Luebben then brought to the Board~e_attention a copy of a resolution prepared as a result of this and previous meetings and sent to him with the request that it be adopted if the Town of New Canada favored the establishment of the proposed system. O~Mara moved,. Kaeder seconded th at the following resolution be adopted: °Whereas, New Canada has recognized the advantage of integrating all police services to avoid duplication of units responding to a call, and,... Whereas, this community recognizes the advantages of calling upon neighboring communities for assistance in cases of disaster, now, therefore, be it resolved that this community go on record as endorsing the acquisition by the Sheriffs Department of a radio system capable of allowing all police departments and communities to avail themselves of itrs facilsties. Ayes -- all ~~ Chairman I,uebben asked for a report on the accomplishment of contracts with the Glad- stone Improvement Company for the erection of the street department garage..

The Clerk was instructed to xeturn the bid bonds which accompanied the bids, including that of the successful bidder, to the companies submitting them: Ljungren pointed out that a performance bond replaced the bid band of the Gladstone 'Improvement Company. Ljungren requested a decision of the Board with regard to the installation of natural gas or pxopane gas for use in the new street department garage. He informed. the Board that the installation cost for a natural gas line would be $x'75.00. The Township toould then be reimbursed at the rate o£ $150.00 far each customer who made connectiohs along the route to the garage up to 'the amotimt of the installation cost. The Board author- ized him to proceed with the installation of natural gas. The Clerk was authorized to prepare and deliver a letter to Northern States Power Company approving the installation of ~2 street lights at the points approved at a previous meeting. Three letters from Northern States Power Company, requesting permission from the Tovm of New Canada to install natural gas 13nes on certain streets within the Township. The Clerk was instructed to grant such permission on those streets maintained by the Town- . ship and to refer them to Ramsey County for permission on County maintained streets. A lector from the Town Engineer stated that the grading vv rk and draina;e system in Minnehaha Highlands had been inspected and found to conform with the approved plans and specification. They recommended that the streets be accepted for. routine main- tenance such as blading and snow plowing in view of the fact that the developer has enPoeredsnto an agreement with the Township guaranteeing-~.yment of assessments for finishing the streets. O~Mara moved, Luebben seconded that the Clerk be authorized to sign the recommendation as an indication of approval. Ayes - all . Moritz, Street Supervisor, brought up the matter of undeveloped lots and the problem created by the washing of sand and dirt into the streets from these lots. He pointed cut that considerable expense has been incurred by the Toumship in removing this waste material and replacing it on the property. A suggestion was made that a charge be established for such work and that the property owners bs billed. The Board felt that the matter 'required further study and discussion with. the Town Engineer. The matter was laid over until this can be accomplished. Ljungren reported that a new form had been completed and was in use showing the exact amount of tune spent on each job by the road maintenance crow. From thfs report all coat figures for labor can be 'determined should a charge be involved. Ljungren brought up the matter of variations between Veterans Administration and Town- ship requirements'for'streets and drainage systems: The situation in James 5th Addition tuhere a narrow strip remained unsodded on the boulevard adjacent to the streets, after acceptance by the V.A., brought out the problem and difficulities involved. Ljundgren recommended.tha,t a meeting be arranged with V.A. o£fieials to resolve the difficulty. It was decided to meeting with Carley, Town Engineer on Tuesday, September 11th, 1956+ at 10:30 A.M. to tour the roads and .areas iq question before deciding on .any further action. 06Mara moved, Kaeder seconded that Anthony Hartman, contractor for the construction of the drainage ditch in the Shuster.-Silvis North Glenn Addition, be provided with a letter stating that said drainage ditch has been completed in compliance with specifications established by the Town Engineer.

This was not felt to be a bar to granting a permit in Wiser of the fact that it is an addition to an existing building, rather than a new home construction. Mr. Casura stated his willingness to comply with pll other requirements of the Code, including the construction of a foundation under the entire structure and the installation of complete and separate sanitary facilities, Kaeder moved, Luebben seconded that permission. be granted to build the addition according to the apecifications<of the Building Inspector, Ayes .- all Pursuant to-due call and published and posted notice thereof, the hearing set to consider objections to the petition for the grading and stabil3zing,o£ Phalen Place between Sophia and Ripley Streets at 8;00 P.M, on this date, was declared open by Chairman Luebben. He then asked £or objections to the approval of this action. `1'he Town Engineers estimated coat of $3,000.00 was read. Based on approximately 800 feet of assessable property, the cost per foot was stated to be roughly-$4.00. Swen Anderson, an owner of property on the proposed street stated that he felt a 20 foot street could serve as well as the 30 foot street suggested by the Town Engineer, It was also decided to consider charging a portion of the cast to property which is in the form of a triangle and is owned by the Township. This property abuts the proposed street and was felt to be suitable fora recreation _. ,. area. 'There was general agreement that a satisfactory arrangement could be.worked out.

During a discussion which followed, it was pointed out chat the extensions of these streets had previously been vacated to the north of County Road B and that the area to the south was being taken £or inclusion in Keller Colf Course property. Chairman Luebben called three (3) times for objections to•this action. Hearing none, O~Mara moved, Kaeder seconded that the Following resolution be adopted: ~~G1HI!3REAS, more than fifty percent (50~') of all Damara of property ~i abutting on that portion of Paul Street between the south boundary - ' of Aeineman~s Be1].eview Addition to the south right-of«way line of County Road B (formerly'Second Street) and John Streot from the south boundary of Heineman~s Belleview Addition to the south right- of-way line. of County Road B (formerly known as Second Street) having filed a petition for the vacation of said streets, and, °WHNRF,AS, the hearing on said petition was. preceded by two (2) weeks published and posted notice, and, '~wtiERkJAS, no one has appeared in opposition to said petition, and, °taHEPl+'+AS, it appears for the best interest of the public that said streets be vacated, ~~NOPJ, THGREF'ORL', B.B IT RESOLVED, by the New Canada Town Board that those portions of Paul Street between the south boundary of Heineman~s Belleview Addition and the south. right-of-way line of County Road B (formerly Second Street) and John Streot between the south boundary of Heineman~s Belleview Addition and the south right-of-way line of County Road B (formerly Second Street), be and the same are hereby vacated.~~ Ayes - all The matter of Oswald Park was again bro~x`ght to the attention of the Board by, Phil Oswald. Carley, Town Engineer, reported that he did not have a plat or topographical plan of Os~dald Park. Mr. Oswald agreed to furnish him with the required material. The matter was then laid. over for report at the October 4th, 1956 meeting. Martin Cohanes, 2415 E. Minnehaha Avenue, presented a plat of a proposed opening of Meyer Street. It was noted that the proposed extension was• offs©t from the present street due to the way in which the adjoin3.ng addition has been platted. Luebben moved, O~Mara seconded that the proposal be referred to the Town Engineer and Planning Commission for study and recommendation. _. Ayes - all A group from the North Glen Addition appeared and requested further information with regard to the drainage ditch in their area. Chairman Luebben reported that he had in- apected the area with Ljungren, representing the Town Engineer, and had found that the conatxuction of a covered drainage pipe with catch basins appeared feasible. He pointed out that it would be necessary to fill the lots in the area to insure proper operation and drainage, however. Carley, Town Epginee,r, stated that as a result of an inspection and study of the area, it was derided that the ditch would be the moat logical place to run a sanitary sewer. A storm sewer could easily be installed at the same time at vary little additional cost. It was point ad out that due to the lowness of the lots, the dirt is washing into the ditch and tends to block it. The Township can and will keep the ditch open but the eventual solution is to fill the lots. The Township cannot force the developer to do the fil7,sng. It was suggested that the home owners attempt ' to remedy this sstvation with the developers on a private basis. The Board then sug- gested that the ditch be allowed to remain. open until such time that, the sanitary sewer be provided fox this development and. at that time also install a storm sewer as recom- mended by the Town Engineer. Any further action on this matter coi11 be taken only upon the direct request of the home oumers in the area concerned. Carl Soderbeck, 1030 Ferndale, appeared relative to the matter of the condemnation of the basement structure on Lot 7, Block 2, Perkinsview Addition.

The Board laid the matter over to the next meeting to give Mr. Soderbeck an opportunity to complete his arrangements, Thomas Tschida, representing St. Paul Courtesy Benches, Inc., appeared before the Board to request permission to install advertising bench at the Super Fair Market on Stillwater Road. The Company proposes to install the bench on private property adjacent to a i private home at Lakewood Drive and Stillwater Road. The matter was laid over until the next meeting to allow time by the Board for further discussion. A letter was read from Carley, Town Engineer, with regard to the grading and stabilizing of certain streets in DeMars 3rd Addition. The streets involved are. Summer Street from Jackson Street to east line of City Heists (~ width); Summer Street from east line of City Heights to east line of DeMars 3rd Addition (full width). , T.he letter recommended that a bond in the agrount of $3,000,00 which is 1~ times the estimated cottt, be required. Memmer, Town Attorney, reported that an undertaking agree- ment had been prepared for the developer which agreed to furnish the bond in the amount of $3,000.00. He recommended acceptance of the agreement.

It referred to a past request by Chairman Luebben fsr notification on possible rezoning actions when the areas were adjacent to the Town of New Canada. Mr. Olson assured the Board of his willingness to cooperate in these matters. Mr. Olson ales asked further in£or.. mation on a liquor store, owned by a Mr. Meissner, proposed to be moved to the western village limits of North St. Paul near 7th Avenue.

Chairman Luebben sot a hearing on this request for 8:00 P.M, on October 18th, 1956 at the Town Hall: The Clerk-was instructed to publish and pact proper notices. An application was received from the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company to place buried cable across Hazelwood at Cope Street and across Cope Street 290 feet west of Hazelwobd. The Clerk was instxiY.cted to approve the application. Luebben moved, O'Mara seconded that'the Clerk be authorized to notify the County Auditor that it would not be necessary to make the debt levy on the $14,000.00 Street Improve.» ment Bonds issued in September,. 1955 in view of the fact that a substantial proportion of that money remains unused and of tyre portion used, more than half of the assessments have 'been fully paid be~ore their levy on tax rolls.

Ayes - all Mr. Ben Black, 1733 Gervais Avenue „appeared before the Board and again requested per-_. mission to establish an auto .salvage business. He asked if there were any place in the Township trhere this type of business would be permitted., The restrictions of the Zoning Code vaere discussed and it was explained to Mr. Black that to permit such a property use in the Township would undoubtedly result in an extremely serious reaction from surrounding '; residents. The Board did not feel it would be wise to permit such a property use at -~ this time. A representative of the G1ad.stone Fire Department presented throe (3) informal bids received by the department for the painting of certain portions of the anterior of the _ building and also the exterior of the entire building at 1900 Clarence Street. The Board was requested to consider these bids and to share in the cost of the proposed work. This matter was laid ovor for further discussion and consideration by the Board.

That portion of the rezoning petition was read which referred to the proposed double bungalow to be erected on the location described above. It was pointed out that postcard notification had been made to all property owners within 500 feet of the area rather than 200 feet as called for in the Zoning Ordinanco because the abstractors' certificate supplied was prepared on the basis of the larger area. Several nearby residents appeared +rrho stated they had not received notifications. A check of the abstractorrs certificate revealod they were not listed. Chairman. Luebben called throe (3) times for objections to the granting of the petition.

Chairman Luebben reported that he had inspected the area with tho Town Engineer and that the conclusion drawn was that consid- erable study of the overall problem would be required. The portion of Van Dyke Avenue lying within this area was also brought into the discussion. Residents asked the Townrs intentions as to maintenance of the street. Moritz, Street Supervisor, stated that the street has never been accepted for maintenance although some work had been done to keep it in passable condition for the residents thereon. The property owners stated that stakes had been set indicating the proper grade level at the time the grading was completed and that the grading had bean done in accordance with those stakes.' Chairman Luebben pointed out that the inspection indicated that the street had not beef properly laid out and the entire area should be re-engineered for both drainage and street level: A Latter from parley, ToUm Engineer, was then read. The letter stated that the project proposed by Mr. Killian for the extension of the outlet under County Road B would not take care of the anticipated drainage of-the area as it develops. The Town Engineer recommended that the Board consider the possibility of constructing a storm sewer along County Road B and north on Van Dyke Avenuo which would be designed to take care of anticipated needs of the area. He pointed out that this work would be done on an assessment basis and the assess- ments would probably include Ramsey County and also Township streets which drain into the storm sewer. Luebben moved, O~Mara seconded that the Town Engineer be authorized to make a. complete survey and report on the drainage in the Van Dyke Avenue area. Ayes - all Harold Smith, 230 Crestview Drive, requested information as to the zoning of an area south of Hudson Road and west of Sterling Avenue. This property, owned by him, had been rezoned Business and Commercial at the time the Zoning Ordinance was adopted. Residents of the adjoining area had appeared at the August 16th, 1956 meeting asking that it be re- zoned to its former classification of Farm Residence. Mr. Smith stated he planned to develop this area for residence purposes and also asked that it be rezoned. He stated that the other residents were preparing the petition and would join them in their re guest. Mr. Smith also requested information as to the proper procedure to follow in turning over to the Township, a road known as Crestview Drive which is 66 feet in width. He is pro- posing an extension of this road. It was explained that the Township now constructs all roads. He was advised to prepare a platting of the entire area whicYs would show the pro- posed road. He presently has a 150 foot wide easement from Minnesota Mining and Manufact- uring Company on which ~e reaches Crestview Drive from Highway No. 12, over a distance of approximately 120 feet. It was recommended that he check this easement to determine whether it could be turned over to the Town of New Canada, a step which would be necessary before the Township could accept the road. Gerald Spector;-representing the Mt. Carve Builders, Inc., 1702 Grand Avenue, St. Paul, ~ asked the status of his' earlier request for a study of community water systems, one being proposed for the development to be known as Mt. Lurve Park. The Board informed him that no final decision had yet been reached but that some preliminary discussion had been held. A letter from Carley, Town Engineer, was read at this point with regard to the Mt. Curve Pa,rlc developrent. The letter reported that the plat had been examined and that it appeared practical from an engineering viewpoint. It was pointed out that in an area as large as the proposed development. it was difficult to foresee all the drainage problems which might be encountered while the streets are being, designed. The Town Engineer recaminended that the final plat should not be approved until after street grades have been established and I that necessary drainage easements should be shown on the plat. An estimate of the cost of the streets was included. Actual cost wa,s estimated at $48,000.00 which would mean h bond would be required for $72,000.00 at l~ times the estimated cost. 'The letter also pointed ' out that the plan contemplated the installation of a community water system. A detailed ' study of this was not made because of the Boards prior decision to prohibit such systems ~ i.n the Township. The Toom Engineer indicated that if such a system were to be considered, he had certain recommendations to make concerning design of such systems. The attention of the Board was called to the Town regulation which states that a11'construction within j the street right-of-Dray was to be undertaken by the Township on an assessment basis. The developer presented a set of preliminary plans of the proposed system to the Board. He stated that no further action could be considered until a decision was reached on the comrmm ity water system in vieor of the excessive cost of individual wells in the area. The Board informed Mr. Spector that a special meeting would be held to discuss policy on community water systems and drainage and an answer would be given him at the October 18th, 1956 meeting. Another letter from Carley, Town Engineer, was read with regard to the construction of Phalen Place between Ripley Street and Sophia Street. The letter reported that a survey has been made but final plans have not been completed. The Tovm Engineer recommended that orork on the street not be started until early 1957 for two reasons. First, the grade is extremely steep and if .not stabilized immediately after grading, a serious erosion problem would be encountered. Secondly, the area involved is so small that it should be tied to a larger project in order to hold costs at a reasonable level. Swen Anderson teas present and asked for the decision of the Town Engineer as to the width of the proposed street._ He was informed. that a width of 26 or'28 feet was being considered. Mr. Anderson felt this width was unnecessarily large.

The Board agreed to pay for one-half the cost of painting the interior of the hall and the cost of painting the exterior of the Town office. Member O'Mara agreed to contact the Fire Department officers and discuss this and. any other matters they desired to bring to the Boardrs attention. Member O'Mara requested an opinion from bhe Board as to the desireability of purchasing a second police radio to be installed in a private car in use by the Police Department.

Shore Drive, appeared before the Board with questions arising from the proposed construction of Phalen Place between Ripley and Sophia Streets. 't'hey asked if assessments would be made against their property for this work. The Board informed them that assessments would be made on property adjoining Phalen Place but the exact proportions had not been determined. ':[hey also reported hearing that plans had. been made to vacate Gordon Place from Phalen Place to Ripley Street and add the vacated area to a triangle of property owned by the Tovmship, for use as a recreational area. 't'hey stated their objectior. to the vacation of the street and proposed instead the completion of that street. Member O'Mara pointed ov.t that although such a pleas had been discussed, no inspection of the area had been made to determine,'it~a suitability for sv.ch use and no final decision made. He further stated that it was merely a suggestion in the talking stage and based on the supposition that use of Gordon Place by adjoining property owners was highly improbable because it adjoins the rear of their property. Thee were informed of the proper procedure to follow in petitioning for construction o£ the street. Carley, Town Engineer, agreed to mail the proper petition form to Mr. Godbout. The property owners concerned would then discuss the situation and inform Carley of Choir decision.

She and Moritz, Sanitary Inspector, reported finding sewage in the drainage ditch on the property and also an overflow of-sewage from. the check boxes which indicate improper functioning o£ the drainage system. The Board unformed her that they had been previously informed of the difficulty and asked the Town Engineer to investigate.

Ljungren had found the check boxes expelling soma sewage today and felt that some action was necessary. T,uebben moved, O~Mara seconded that Mr. Philips be instructed to contact his engineer and arrange for a meeting with the Town Enguneer to discuss the ,repair or rebuilding of the drainage system for the Philipville Trailer Court. Ayes - all Mrs. Peterson also r®quested information as to how to proceed in requiring a change Sri the drainage system at 333 E• County Line. The Aresent septic tank does not conform to the requirement that it be a minimum of fifty ($0) feet from the wall, ~ A newly installed drain field does conform, however.

Ayes - all Richard Hopkins, 1700 English Street, presented to the Board a petition signed by residents in the area of English Street and Larpenteur Avenue. The petition requested that the Board take action to secure removal of old tires and other salvage material from the property at the northeast corner of Larpenteur and English. The owner of the property in question also appeared. The Board explained that it could not permit the storage of salvage material. in a residentially zoned area ann that the owner must refrain from accumulating such material. He stated that he had already removed the objectionable material but did not feel he had violated any ordinances. He asked if it would be permissable to erect a garage for the storage of trucks and other material. It was itirther explained that only a two-car garage could be erected in that area. Robert Borowske, 1737 Edgerton Street, appeared before the Board. He explained that sev- eral months earlier, August 16th, 1956, he had appeared and requested permission to extend a drain field into the road right~of-way of %ingston Street, which is not in use as a Town- ship road. That permission was granted, on a temporary basis at that mooting. Borowske reported that his neighbor, W. Koehnen, 1785 Edgerton Street, had dumped fill dirt on the street forming an obstruction to the normal drainage. During the heavy lain of last week, the water diverted by the obstruction washed out Borowske~s drain field which had been put in at a depth of. 2I4 inches, He asked relief from %oehnen's misuse of the %ingston.Street easement. Tt was brought out that %oehnen had appeared at the April 5, 1956 meeting with regard. to the use of this road. Borowske indicated his willingness to cooperate in whatever solution could be worked out. Luebben moved, O'Mara seconded that the matter be refarred to the Town Engineer and Town Attorney for investigation and that they be given the power to act in solving the problem. - Ayes - all -- Carl Soderbeck, 1030 Ferndale Avenue, appeared before the Board with regard to the proposed condemnation of the basement structure on Lot 7, Block 2, Perkinsview Addition. He explainer that he had misunderstood the date of the meeting and for that reason had not appeared at the last meeting. He stated his plans are to apply for a permit and begin construction on the property as soon as all loins and other encumbrances are cleaxed. The Board agreed to ,____ allow Soderbeck additional time to carry out his plans. Gerald Spector, representing the Mt. Curve Builders, 1702 Grand Avenue, xequested the decision of the Board with regard to his application for permission to install a community water system in the plat known as Mt. Curve Park. Chairman Luebben explained that a ' meeting had been held to discuss this request and that it was the decision of the ward to deny permission at the present time. The denial was based on the reasoning that to permit such a system to be installed in this area, where the need was recognized, would force all other develapgrs to install similar systems in areas where the need does not exist. The Board had acted earlser in.the year to prohibit the installation of,community i j wp.ter systems as a result of a request made by the V. A. to another developer for such an installation if such action was permitted in the Toumship. The Board farther painted out that if and when such systems would be required only Class A systems would be permitted. Paul Jensen, 18'9 Jackson. Street, appeared as representative of Mr. bang, 1861 Jackson Street, who had made a complaint about this use of property at 1884 Jackson Street. He reported that the owner, Donald Ddilske, is using hie private garage for the repair of cars evenings and on weekends. Mr. Jensen stated that between 8 and 12 cars had been parked there on the past Saturday and Sunday. He felt that such property use in a resi- dential area was impropex and requested that it be stopped, O~Mara moved, Luebben seconded that the matter be referred to the Town Police fox corrective action. Ayes - all H. A. Fink, 1810 E. County Road B requested permission to erect a truck garage and machine shed on his property. The area is south of County Road B and east of White Bear Avenue and is zoned Farm Residence. 1'he Board felt there was no reason for denying him the right to erect a steel corrugated building for farm ,operation purposes on the property in view o.£ the fact that it is consistent with the zoning of the area and would tend to im- prove the appearance of the property. Al Herman again requested the acceptance of the streets in the Hil7.s and Dales Addition. Carley, Town Engineer, in response to the Board+s request of the last meeting, stated he had made a careful study of the area. He found that all work could be completed and re- pairs could be made if required for an amount not to exceed $430.00. Mr. Herman presented a certified check for this amount to the Board. Member O~Mara requested that a letter from Donald Wiegert, 217.9 Duluth Place, be read. by the Clerk, concerning the Hi11s and Dales Addition, before final acceptance be granted. The letter brougJzt out these points: - ~ ~ - - 1. Street signs have not been installed in the area; 2. A °dead-endP sign is neEded• on Duluth Place; 9. He requested a street 'sign on Highway No. 3b at Atlantic Street; 4. He stated that in his opinion Dulath Place h.ad not been properly surfaced; 5. Atlantic Street in the Hills and Dales area had not boon properly joined with the existing Atlantic Street to the north. Mr. Herman stated that street signs had been prepared as required and would be installed by the week-end. He also agreed to pay for the cost of installing a dead-end sign, the work to be done by the Township. The Township agreed to request a sign on Atlantic Streot and Highway No. 36. The Town Engineer felt that Duluth Street to be satisfactory as stated in his recommendations for acceptance. The joining of the new section of Atlantic Street to the previously existing section is to be done by the Toomship because it is net a responsibility of the developer. That work will not be completed anti]. weather permits next year however.

Ayes - all Another letter was received from Carley, Town Engineer recommending the acceptance of Manton Street between Copley Street and Harris Avenue. He reported that all work had been completed in accordance with 'T'own regulations, with the exception of the shaping of the boulevards. For this work, he felt a payment of $25.00 would cover the cost. Mr. Herman presented a certified check for $25.00 to the Board. Kaeder moved, OtNiara seconded that the recommendation of the 'gown Engineer be accopted. Ayes - all Mr. Herman also requested that all bonds issued guaranteeing the completion of street work in the Hills and Dales Addition and an the above named portion of Manton Street '. \ be released. 'this would apply to bonds issued in the name of Hil~.s and Dales Addition, Modern Homes Construction Company and the Ashworth Construction Company. The Clark was instructed to write letters to the bonding companies releasing bonds for the areas described above. ~ Thomas Tschida, St. Paul Courtesy Benches, Inc., appeared and repeated his request for permission to install an advertising bench an private property at Lakewood Drive and Stillwater Road. Because of the similarity in the nature of the advertising signs and advertising benches, the Board felt it was bound to adhere to its previously adopted policy of denying permission for such advertising unless it was on the business pro- perty and referred to the business thereon. Mr. Tschidass request waS denied. , A letter from Carley, Toom Engineer, rasa read regarding the plat known as Kortus Addition. He reported he had examined the plat and had made a field inspection of the property. He found the plat acceptable from an engineering point of view pxoviding provisions are made to extend a drainage system to the Covnty storm aewor under County Road A~2. The letter pointed out the required deposits of 12 times the estimated costs of construction of the following streets and drainage to be: .Payne Avenue from County Road A 2 to north edge of plat (~ strut) $2,300,00 _ i Searle Street from Crnxnty Road A-2 to north edge of plat $3,000.00 Drainage (storm sewer mentioned above) $5,300.00 The letter also pointed out the-need to obtain permission fm m the County for the ex- tension of the storm sewer if the developer ,decided to proceed. Chairman Luebben stated that he was aware of a spring in the northeast corner of the plat that causes a con- stantly wet area, and he £elt much more study would be needed before final approval could be granted. Luebben moved, O~Mara seconded that the plat of Kortus Addition be referred to the Planning Commission•for study and recommendation: ' Ayes - all - _ The Clerk brought to the Board's attention a plat of Crestview Addition being developed by Harald A. Smith. This area had been discussed at the previous meeting and involved a road acresa easement from Highvray No. 12 obtained by Mr. Smith from Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company.

Carley agreed to investigate tho reason for the delay in the delivery of the Town road grader. 0°Mara moved, Luebben seconded that the Tovm Engineer be authorized to send in to Ramsey County a list of certain Township streets to be plowed by the County. . Ayes- all . The-Planning Commission's report on the Torgerson Plat; ref erred to them at the last meeting, was read. The report'suggested a slight readjustment of Burr Street to allow fox a proper street easoment on the"east portion of the east black of this plat.

The Board agreed at that time to correct the situation as soon as weather permits in the spring of 1957. i Harold A. Smith, 230 Crestview Drive, accompanied by Richard D+. Hoffman, 2510 Hudson Road, presented an abstractors certificate of the property owners within 200 feet of proporty described as that part of the ~ of the NW4 of Section 1, Township 28, Range 22, lying North of the South 565.016 feet (being center line of Brookview Drive produced Westerly). Mr. Smith also presented the Board a '$25.00 check and asked that a hearing be set for the rezoning of the above described property from BC, Business and Commercial District, to R 1, Residence District (Single Dwelling). A petition requesting this action had been submitted ~~ at an earlier meeting. Because the petition was felt to be improper in form, although it was the intent of the signers of the petition to request that the property be rezoned, Mr, j Smith and Mr. Hoffman agreed to submit a corrected petition. Contingent upon the submission I of the corrected petition, Chairman Luebben declared that a hearing on this matter would be I held at 8:00 P.M, at the Town Ha11 0~ December 6th, 1956• The Clerk was instructed to '_ publish proper notice and notify the property owners in accordance with rezoning procedure of the Zoning Ordinance.

O~Mara moved, Luebben seconded that the matter be referred to the. Town Engineex for investigation and report. Albert Hastings, 2556 Holloway Avenu©, appeared before the Board to request that a reduced speed limit be established on Rollaway Avenue between Sterling 9.venue and Highway No. 100. He also requested a street sign at the cornex of Holloway Avenue and Highway No. 100, The present speed limit on the street is 50 miles per hour. Mr. Hastings reported that the street is presently being used for a °drag° strip and that such a speed is excessive under normal circumstances.

Mr. Parka, who is located dust north o£ the ,junction of Belmont Sane and Atlantic St rests, reported that dirt from across the street has been washing onto his property. Because of the topography of, the area, ih a heavy rain, the run-off is rapid and carries the top-soil from the nearby uhsodded areas. Moritz, Street Supervisor, reported that the lots in question are all loco compared to the street grade and for that reason water settles on the property. All-these lots need fill- ing according to Moritz. He reported that ha had enlarged to approximately double size the openings in the street drains to accomodate a greater flow of water. Moritz, also reported that these is money available for the removal of the washed dirt,and that this work would be completed, ' Al Herman appeared with reference to this matter. He stated that the house had been set too low when built and because it was the developer's error, he had agreed to repurchase the house from Mr. Parka. Mr. Parka had declined this offer. Mr. Herman then agreed to corset this situation by building up the front of the lot and packing dirt in to the greatest extent that the natural situation would allow. This, he pointed out, would never completely correct the problem because sufficient slope cannot be established to car~•y all the water away. Einar Anderson, 1705 Edgemont Street, Lewis Anderson, 377 Kingston Street and Allen Ottoson, 1713 Edgemont Street, appeared in support of a petition by property owners in Moans Villa £or the grading and stabilization of Edgemont, Kingston and Arkwright Streets in Monnsa V311a.

It was determined by a check of-the minutes that a petition had been presented to the Board on May 19th; 1955 requesting construction of these streets. Bids were requested, received and later rejected because it was decided to wait for homes to be built in this area. The Town Engineer was asked to check his records for the original petition and to report at the next meeting of the Board. Mrs. Peterson, Health Inspector, reported having received a complaint on the keeping of pigs at 2090 English Street. The adjoining property owners had asked if Town regulations permitted the keeping of pigs. It was found that the area is Farm Residence and therefore, the keeping of pigs is permissable. They then asked if the pigs could b® moved to another area of the property. Mrs. Peterson reported that the pigs are currently kept close to the home of the person complaining. She also reported that the owners of the pigs have at least 200 feet of property to the rear of their home. Memmer, Tovra Attorney, offered the opinion. that under the Zoning Ordinance, a reasonable. regulation could be adopted providing for a prescribed distance that pigs must be kept from adjoining residences. ~ Kaeder moved, OoMara seconded that the following regulation be adopted under the authority i granted the Town Board in Par. 5, Article III of the Zoning Ordinanceo °Pigs must 'be kept a minimum of 100 feet from adjoining residences.~~ Ayes - all Mrs. Peterson was instructed to notify the owners of the pigs of this regulation and to insure compliance with the regulation. Mrs. Peterson then presented a letter to the Board informing them that she wished to resign effective December lst, 1956. She stated that 'she would not be in a position to canvas the Township as she has in the past but that she would be willing to accopt calls as they were directed to her attention until a replacement could be found. The Board expressed ites regret that she found it necessary to resign and commended her on the exceptional job she had done in the position of Health Inspector. They asked that she continue on a ~~call~~ basis until a suitable replacement can be found. Mr, Spector, Mt. Curve Builders, Inc., asked the status of the plat of Mt. Curve Park. It was explained that no further action had been taken when the request for a community ~ water system was denied. Mr. Spector stated that he proposed to continue the dewlap- ment using individual wells. A check of the records disclosed that the plat had never been referred to the Planning Commission. The plat was referred to the Planning Commission !, and arrangements were made for that group to give their report to the Town Engineer prior to the next meeting. The Town Engineer was instructed to then proceed with the designing of the drainage system in the plat in order to expedite final approval. The complaint brought to the attention of the Board at the last meeting by Robert Borowske, j 1737 Edgerton Street, was discussed. Ljungren, representing the Town Dngineer, reported that he had investigated the complaint and found that W. Koehnen, 1745 Edgerton Street, had 'filled the Kingston Street easement to a depth of 2 to 2~ feet on his side. This fill had diverted the water .across the south half of the street washing out the surface dirt and exposing Mr. BorowskeF3:s drain field. The Board determined that Borowske.should be'notified to replace the drain pipe and Moritz, Street Supervisor, was instructed to then cover the pipe for him bringing the street to a constant level, thus eliminating the problem of a wash-out. j Chairman Luebben asked for a report on the septic tank problem at 333 East County Line referred to the Town Attorney at the last meeting. Memmer reported that he had contacted the attorneys for the property owners. 'Phey-had agreed to establish a new system on the property which would comply with Town regulations. -' 'he Planning Commission~e report on the plat of Kortus Addition was read to the Board. ', The Planning Commission statad that, it had examined this plat which lies. north of County Road A-2 between Payne Avenue and Edgerton Street and found no pbjections and could offer ', no suggestions on this plat. There was furthex discussion of the underground springs in j the area brought to the Boards atte}ttion by Chairman Luebben at the last meeting. 'T'here . was still the felling that those springs could cause considerable difficulty in the future. The matter was referred to the Town Engineer for further study of the drainage system before granting final approval. I Ljungren, representing the Town Engineer, recommended that street lights be installed at the following locations as per the request of property owners in the areas- Fiandrau and 2nd Avenue Flandrau and 3rd Avenue Kennard and 2nd Avenue Kennard and 3rd Avenue Ths Clerk was instructed to write a letter to Northern States Power Company informing them of the Boards approval. of the installation. , A discussion was held on the tax forfeit property referred to the Board by Mrs. Donald De Covrcy, hand Commissioner. '1'he three (3}..lots involved were as follows: Lots 13 and l4, Block 5, Brower Park Lot l~, Block 1, F. D. Nelsons Homesites Ljungren reported that all the lots were found suitable for homesites and generally 'desire- ~ able proporty. 9:he Board felt that the property mould be of greater value to the Township j from a tax viewpoint by allowing its sale than by holding it for Township use. The matter ~ was laid over to the next meeting. The Board received a substitute proposal from the County Engineer to its request made to the Board of Ramsey County Commissioners at the August 2nd, 1956 meeting, for access to the North St. Patti Road at Hazel Street and for road easements on Hazel and Ripley Streets. 'T'he County Engineer proposed that a road easement be provided which would approach the North St. Paul Road at a right angle rather than along the direct line of Hazel Street. ,this would involve the transfer of property between the Christian Brothers who plan to erect a boys school in the area, and Ramsey County. It was also noted that the Christian Brothers would have to provide the normal 33 foot street easement along Hazel Street on the east portion of their property. 'rho Board felt that the proposal had considerable merit and deserved investigation. 'lhe matter was referred to Member O~Mara and Memmer, Town Attorney, for discussion with the Christian Brothers. the Clerk was instructed to notify the County Engineer that the Board agrees with the proposal. The proper method. of recording the changes made by the passing of the Zoning Ordinance was discussed. Memmer, Town Attorney, advised that the oxd.inance should nnw be considered as the final authority with reference to property in the Town of New Canada. This would mean that the Ramsey County regulations pxeviously followed would be superseded. The matter of making the ordinance a. matter of record wa,s referred to the Town Attorney. Memmer, Town Attorney, presented the Board with an undertaking agreement far the cons- txuction of streets in the City Heights Addition and .recommended that it be accepted.

The plat was referred to the Planning Commission for investigation and report. LaPlante, Gas Inspector, was present for a discussion of heating licenses required under the Building Code. Present practice does not require the separate licensing of steamfittera for the installation of hot water heating.

It was decided to adapt the present license to apply to both plumbers and steam- fitters. Only one license is to be required o£ a firm qualified to handle both jobs; however, the license is to indicate whether the firm in questfon is permitted to do only one or both types of work. Permits are to be issued accordingly.

All members of the Aoard were present. The minutes of the December 6th, 195h meeting were read, Chairman .Luebben painted out that the permit on Crestview Drive was granted subject td thg fact that the road had not been accepted and would not be maintained until such time that i:t was accepted by the Ta~inship. Kaeder moved, O~Mara seconded that the minutes be accepted. as corrected. Ayes.- all Harold A. Smith, 230 Crestview Drive, presented the final plat of Heckeroth Addition axid requasted that it be accepted and signed by the Clerk for the Tovu of New Canada. He painted out that it had been signed by all other interested parties, including represen» tatives of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company with regard to the road easement discussed at previous meetings. He also pointed out that there had been some question about the location of the adeess road at the point where it meets Highway No. 12. Mr. Smith stated that he had been in session-with Mr. Everett McC<ibrey, District Engineer of the State Highway Department, this afternoon to make arrangements with them for the correct ronatruction of that access. An agreement was reached to construct a. slid-cff° service road according to specifications acceptable to the State. Highway Department. He then presented a letter directed to the !Down Board relating his discussion with Mr. McCubrey. The letter contained the following information; `'t•Ir. Smith will undertake the the construction of an entrance from Crestview Drive to intersect the. east bound roadway of tT.S. Highway No. 12 opposite the crossover at station 17 plus 50, in accord ante vrith the permit issued him on July 7th, 1953• The entrance is to be laid out and approved by Mr. M. L. Jones, District Maintenance Engineer. The work,is to be completed as soon as weather permiis. Chairman Luebben reported that he and Ljungren, representing Carley, Torun. Engineer, had visited the site of Crestview Drive and inspected the road. He felt that although the road was acceptable in other respects that it did not follow the profile originally prepared and that as a result the construction might lead to maintenance and drainage problems due to a low spot i.n the road. It was. suggested that Mr. Smith arrange far watex+-way drainage easements leading from the road at the junction of Lota 2 and 3 on botks the east and west sides. Mr, Smith agreed that this could be done and that ne would be willing to make sucks arrangements. It was further suggested that Mr. Smith await the arrival of the Town Engineer to confirm this matter, Chairman Luebben questioned whether the acceptance of the Heckeroth,Addition plat itself would necessarily mean acceptance of Crestview Drive. The Board members did not feel this vrould be true because of the many plats previously accepted in which no roads existed at the time of acceptance. Upon the arrival of Memmer, Town Attorney, this question was again asked and he confirmed the thinking of the Board., that the approval of the plat would not mean acceptance of the road. for maintenances He also pointed out that the fact that the road has not been accepted has already been made a matter of record in the abstract of all the property involved as a result of the agree- ment with Mr. Smith. Mgritz, Sanitary $nspector,~reported that he had inspected the drainage system on the Borowake property, 1737 Edgerton Street, referred to him and the Town Attorney at the ],ast meeting. He found that the system eras now working satisfactorily and that he saw no necessity for taking .any furthex action at this time. He felt that leveling the - street had apparently corrected the situation. Pursuant to due call and published and posted notice thereof, the hearing set for 8 P.M. on this date to consider the petition of the .Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company for the vacation of the streets described belo~;a, was .called to order by Chairman Luebben. The notice of this vacation was published in the official Town newspaper on Ttovember 28th and December 6th, 1956, as required.

Ayes - all Robert J. Smith, 1200 Zealand Road, appeared before the. Board and reported that a street sign had. recently been installed on his earner naming as 1st Avenue what h.e assumed was Zealand Road. Moritz, Street Supervisor, pointed out that this had been done in line with the Boards decision at an earlier meeting (Cctober 18th., 1956), in acce_i~ting streets in the Hills anal. Dales Addition. Li the discussion which followed, -it was pointed out that many such conflicts of street names exist in the Township. The Board agreed to allow Ljungren, representing the Tovm Engineer, and the Clerk to meet and consider street names throughout the Township and make whatever changes Choy felt necessary.. The changes are then to be submitted as a group for action at a future meeting. Jim Rodger, representing the Nagaele Advertising Company, appeared before the Board to request- permission far the enlargement and improvement of an advertising sign. The present sign has been located at 264 Highway Pie, 61, on property owned by Michael Schein (Lot 15, Howardrs Gordon Lots'), for ~ years. Raeder moved, Luebben seconded. that permission be granted.

I,jw?gren presented a letter on behalf of the Toum F~ngineer with regard to Pfluegeros Addition. The letter stated that the proposed plat had been examined and. the site personally visited. The Town Engineer found the plat feasible .from an engineering point of view. The letter noted the attachment of a general map of the area with the proposed plat superimposed thereon. The Planning Commissions report on this plat rral: also read. They found no objection to the plat but brou~xt out two points: 1. No topographical map accompanied the plat but in vier of the fact th.^,.t the Planning Commission members were familiar with the area, it was unnecessary in this case because the land is level; 2. The eastern boundary of the plat is designated. as Kennard Street and that this street will not line up with existing Kennard Street, In this case they felt it desireable due to the fact that a true extension of Kennard would create an undcsireable congestion at the intersectien of Prosperity Road and Junction Avenue. Luebben moved, Kaeder seconded that the preliminary :plat be approved. Ayes - all The matter of the storago area in the street department garage was disruseed. Ljungren reported that he did not feel it advisable to use a+~y sc;ction of the garage other than that over the office at the present time. Hero, he felt, sufficient supioort existed. Arrangements had been made to have the contractox put in the necessary beams with the flooring to be placed by the street department cre~<r during the winter months: A discussion was held on the proposed platting regulations and const ntction specifi- cations, prepared by ,Carley, Town Engineer. Because ,the Board felt soma points in the proposed regulations .required further study and discussion, it was decided to refer them to the Tgwn Attorney and Town Engineer for further refinement.. The mattex was laid over to some future meeting of the Board. Tho Clerk presented an application by Albert Durow for a license to sell non-intoxicating malt liquors at the Hill crest Food Market, 2251 Laroenteur Avenue.

Smith, 234 Crestview Drive, appeared before the Board. He reported that he had contacted the '1'anneres Lake Construction Company which had constructed Crestview Drive. He explained to that Company the question which had been raised at the last mooting of the Board with regard to the profile of the road. '1'hey~in turn had prepared a profile of the road as it now exists which Mr. Smith presented to the Board for inspection. He pointed out that the profile shoves no low spot as was~fndicated at the junction point of the road with Lots 2 and 3, Block 2 and Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, but instead a eli~xt drop to the south. Chairman Luebben stated that he would await a check of the profile by the Town Engineer before making any doeiaion in the matter. The Board then referred ,the matter to Carley, Town Engineer, and Mr. Smith. The Board also stated that they would require drainage easements on~Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, and Lots 2 ana 3, Block 2, before accepting Crestview Drive whether or not the profile proved to be correct. Mr. Smith agreed to make such arrangements. Lots 2 and 3, Hlock 2, and Lot 3, Block 1, are still in Mr. Smithas.possession. It was pointed out that he could grant such an easement on this property. The easement on Lot 2, Block 1, is to be secured from the present owner of that property. The Town. Engineer was asked to have a complete report prepared at the next meeting so Crestview Drive could be accepted for maintenance if that action was recommended, Mr. Leonard E. Zutz, 3l7 Kentucky Street was present to request approval of a rubbish hauling lic~nae. The application had been previously made at the Clerk~e office and held for Board action.

He then stated that he did not intend to engage in a general pickup business but asked permission for only one stop at a Natior~.Food Store which he has under contract. Moritz, Sanitary Inspector, stated that the truck being used is satisfactory for the purpose. Luebben moved, Kaeder seconded that the license be granted with the stipulation that Mr. Lutz be a,].lowed to collect garbage from only one place of business in the Township and that a notation be made to that effect on his 1i:cense. An investigation of the regulations is to be made to ascertain that this type of action by the Board is covered. Ayes .• all The, quest ion was-raised as to the necessity of putting the name on the truck to be used for the pickup of rubbish. the :Board felt this should be done as required in~view of the feet that it could be accomplished without painting and thus devaluing the truck for resale.. Percy Johnson, 882 Bartelmy Lane, requested that approximately 150 feet of road be cut through on Bartelmy Lane in the interest of fire protection. The section in question is immediately north of East Seventh Street at Lots 8 and 9, Block 9, Bartelmy Acres Second Addition. It was pointed out tnat phis road would save nearly a mile travel by the Fire Department to reach the section beyond. the opinion was offered that such work could be done in the public interest and axat it, need not 'be a completed road. The matter was referred to the 'town Engineer for investigation and report. ~~ i i Pursuant to due_ca11 and published and posted notice thereof, the hearing set for 8 P.M. on this date was called to order by Chairman Luebben, to consider the petiition of James and Francis Hughes, sole owners oP the property abutting thereon, for the vacation of the alleys between Lots 1 and 2, Block 24, and Lots 1 and 2, Block 2$, Smith and Taylors Addition to North St. Paul, The notice of this vacation was published in the official Town newspaper as required on December 13th and 20th, 19$6.

Two circuit breakers missing from the electrical panel box; 3. Ynstall collar around outside of louvre to protect insulation from moisture, ~i In addition, the painting of the overhead doors has not beeicompleted. The contractor suggested that this painting be done in Spring when weather conditions are more favorable. The Engineer concurred in this latter suggestion and recommended withholding $80,00 for this purpose from the final payment. Also attached was a final estimate, in the amount of $3009.60, showing all work substantially completed except the abovementioned painting. The 20~ retainer, in the amount of 1670.4{1, was withheld frorn the estimate. It was recommended that the attached payment be made and as soon as Items 1 through 3, have been completed, the Tovm Board make a final inspection tour of the building.

Soren Anderson, Secretary to the Examining Board which issues the competency cards was also present. Member 0~t~ara, briefly described the background on the formation of the Examining Board. The present membership of this Board was xeported by Mr. Anderson. The question involved was to determine whose competency card should.be considered as satisfactory for licensing in New Canada Township and whether such cards should be required before the license is issued. The matter was resolved by agreement to accept competency certificates~iesued by St. Paul or the Examining Board. The current effective card number is to accompany all applications for license. Cards are issued for the calendar year. Licenses aro not to be issued until such information has been supplied and approved by the Town Gas Inspectox. Soren Anderson recommended that an attempt be made to place William LaPlante, Town Gas Inspector, on the Examining Board as a representative of the Township. It was felt that New Canada should be represented in view of its pioneering efforts for the establishment of the Board. The Board concurred in this suggestion and asked Mr. Anderson to recommend that action to the Examining Board. The meeting rasa then recessed for the purpose of making an inspection tear of the Streot Department Garage. _ Upon the return of the Board from the inspection tour, it was recommended that $100.00 be withheld for the painting of the doors, the sol8ering of the unit heater stack and the furnishing of the louvre collar.

Member OiMara brought before the Board a copy of the building plans for the C. W. Gausman property on Frost Avenue. The Planning Commisaion~s report was read. They pointed out that the building setback line was not clearly marked but appeared to be between 25 and 90 feet behind the property line. They suggested some consideration be given to the establishment of a specific setback figure at least along Frost Avenue. They further pointed out that the grade line at the front of the building was 3 to 3 feet belosv the center line of the road. This was not felt to be a desireable situation with regard to future development of the area. They also noted that the basement floor level was 1~ feet below the centerline of the street. This depth would make later possible sanitary sewer connections difficult ar impossible, necessitating the omission of this building from such connections. Luebben moved, Kaeder seconded that the Planning ComM misaion~s report be accepted and the information communicated to Mr. Gausman. Ayes n all The Town Engineer's report on the proposed extension of Bartelmy Lane to East Seventh Street was read. They estimated the cost to be approximately $1200 to $1500. They pointed out that in order to complete the extension it would be necessary to obtain easements from the property owners of property on the west side of Bartelmy Lane and from the Great Lakes Pipe Line Company which owns a pipe crossing the road at this point. The pipe was .felt to be low enough that it would not interfere with grading operations, OoMara moved, Luebben seconded that the Town Engineer be authorized to proceed with the securing of the nenessary easements and other engineering data relative to the construction of the street. Ayes ti all A letter from the Town Engineer was read with regard to the discharge of sewage waste into a slew directly behind the Philipville Trailer Court at 2557 Highway No. 61.

The conclusions reached by the Town Engineer from the results. of the tests and field observations is that the slew area contains sewage contamination .being discharged through a storm sewer from the Philipville Trailer Court. They recommended that action be taken to correct the situation. O~Mara moved, Luebben seconded that the tests results be sent to the State Department of Health with the recommendation that the license be cancelled for the Philipville Trailer Court. Ayes - all Chairman Luebben declared that a hearing would be held at 8;00 P.M, on Febraary 7, 1957 to consider the applications for 3,2 malt liquor licenses received from A, W.

Mr. Ferrise was informed that ' the Board was aware of the situation and that this, along with a nvmbex of other street _, name-problems, would be corrected fallowing a survey of the entire Township by the Town Engineer and Clerk. All changes will be included in the recommendations to the Boax/d. Donald %ampa, 2054 English Street, requested information on the drainage situation in his-area as it is affected by a drainage problem on the west side of English Street. The Board instructed Ljungren, representing the Town Engineer to again investigate the situation and assist in its correction i£ possible. Mrs. Peterson requested that a street light be installed at the intersection of Gem Street and County Road C. The Board instructed the Clerk to make this requost to the Board of Ramsey County Commissioners. Meeting adjourned a.t $c 05 P.M.

It has pointed out that Member 01Mara, not Swen Anderson, had recommended placsng LaPlante, Town Gas Inspector, on the Heating and Air Conditioning Examination Board. Kaeder moved, Luebben seconded that the minutes be accepted as corrected. Ayes » all The minutes of the January 17, 1457 meeting were read. T.he Planning Commissions report, which included plans .of the C. W. Gausman proposed building, was merely delivered by Member O~ASara on behalf of the Planning Commission secretary. Luebben moved, Kaeder seconded that the minutes be accepted as correeted, Ayes W ail Mr. Les Barton of the Johnson and OMBrien Company appeared before the Board to present a proposed plat of Block 7, Clifton Addition. The area is bordered on the ,south by County Road rrB°, by English Street on the east, by Third Avenue on the north and by At7.antic Street on the west. The proposed plat showed a rearrangement of the lots on the original plat. A4r. Barton raised the question of the Bnardos willingness to approve lots of 74.g8 foot frontage on one side of the. plat. This arrangement was felt necessary because an existing home on the property prevents a layout of lots urith full ,75 foot frontage. The lots were found to meet the 10,000 square foot minimum area requirement. Lots on the side opposite the existing home do meet the frontage requirement, The Board asked if the developer planned to use the lots platted on the original Clifton Addition or whetY.ier it was intended to use the new lot linos superimposed on the plat. Mr. Barton stated that this matter had not been discussed but that the advice of the developw mer~t~s engineer would be followed in this matter. The Board stated it.~s disapproval of the use of metes and bounds descriptions and suggested that a rearrangement of the area be considered 3natead. It was pointed out that tl}is would also have t$e effect of vacating the alley therein. Member O~Mara recommended that at some future date a re- vision be made to the Building Code requiring certificates attesting the accuracy of a description when metes and bounds d.es,cription were used. Luebben moved, Kaeder seconded that the .22 feet shortage on the lots be waived from the 75 foot frontage requirement and that the owner of the property be given permission to layout the lots in this manner. Ayes ~ all Mr• Albert Phil~,ip of the Philipyille;Trailer Court was present and reported that a tanker had been purchased to use in pumping out the sewage disposal system. By so doing he felt he could keep the water at a level which would prevent a recurrence of the overflow previously encountered. The elimination of the overflow had been required by the Town Board of Health Chairman at a recent conference with D4r. Philip. It was also pointed out that Mr. Philip was not -to add any new trailers to his court until a com- pletely satisfactory solution, to th.e problem is reached and approved by the Town Board of Health. Ray Kroiss, 1475 Transit, Roseville, appeared before the Board with reference to the property an the NE corner of Hazelwood Avenue and Highway No. 36, knotan as Ballingers Addition. He stated that, although proposed for rezoning, it had been allowed to remainsn a residential classification open the request of the owner at that time, Mr. Ballinger. Mr. Kroiss felt that the area immediately east of this tract, now zoned light manufacturing, interferes with its use far residences. He also stated. that he had a possible commercial use for the area and requested that it be so rezoned.. The Board pointed out that the area had been left in a residential classification because of the objections of the people in the area and to now zone it commercial would be breaking faith with those people. They did not feel they could consider such a request ~ favorably. Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the hearing set for 8 P.M. to consider the application of Earl Pierson and A, W. Magnuson for 3.2 malt liquor licenses was declared open by Chairman Luebben.. The first application considered was that of Earl Pierson for a license at Frost Meats, 1164 Frost Avenue.

Youngdahl, 2530 Highway No. 61, appeared before the Board. She reported .than she had contracted for electrical rewiring work to be done in her home by the Burse _. and i9akefield Company last summer. The contractor indicated to her that Township re- quirements were more strict than elsewhere in the area and for that reason, the cost higher than normal. A mimeographed copy of a revision of the electrical code, furnished by the Town Electrical Inspector, was produced by the contractor to support his claim at that time. The difficulty arose from the use of a term in the form that referred to thin wal'1 conduit. Mrs. Youngdahl requested that the form be corrected to prevent future misunderstandings. The Board pointed out that the term used on the form was in common usage among electrical men and should not have led to such a situation. The Board referred the matter to the Tovm Electrical Inspector and authorized him to conduct an investigation of tl~e matter with a subsequent report to be made to the Board., Anton Thell, 1750 Kennard, reported that he pur..chased property at the corner of Fenton and Walter Streets. The lot has 73 foot front and a depth of 132 feet. Tt does not meet the minimum frontage requirement nor the 10,00.C square foot minimum area require- mbnt. He requested that the Board waive .these requirements in vievr of the fact that he could not purcb.asa additional property to reach minimum standards. It was suggested that he make a further attempt to secure an additional three (3) foot from the adjoining lot. A,t was also pointed out that he would not be able to secure a building permit on the property until arrangements were made to complete the street in front of this property. Cecil Little, 710 E.

Luebben moved, Raeder seconded that the plat of lleMars 5th Addition be referred to the Town Engineer and Planning Commission fo'r investigation and report. The Clerk was instructed to inform Xendall DeMars, developer of DeMars 5th`Addition, that the plat has beon turned over to the Town Engineex and Planning Commission, but that no further action will be taken by`those groups until topographical maps are furnished. A letter was read from the Town Engineer with reference to the proposed plat of Pleasant- .. view Park. The letter stated that the plat has been examined and the site personally visited. They found the plat feasible from an engineering viewpoint. It was pointed out that several small drainage problems exist along the west side of the plat and .that drainage easements may be required to carry surface drainage from.the area. The Town Engineer recommended that such easements not be obtained until street and drainage plans have been prepared, They recommended approval contingent upon the furnishing of such easements, if and when needed. They also called to the Boards attention, the fact that the name Ploasantview Street is already assigned to a street in another ax•ea of Ramsey Gounty and suggest that this name be changed. The Planning Commissions report was then read with reference to Pleasantview Park. They reported the following= 1. It does not appear necessary to offset D4arnie Lane: The number and size of lots could remain the same with a straight street and eliminate str@et,main-- tenance problems. ,2. Mamie Lane and Pleasantview Street should be provided oath turn.»arcunds., 3. The Planning Commission assumed that the surrounding property is unplatted and would create no problems in developing the surrounding areas in the future. The felt the plan offered the best solution to a difficult terrain problem. The Clerk was instxucted to return the plat to the developer along with copies of the letters from the Town Engineer and Planning Commission. Ljungren, representing the Totan Engineer, reported the results of his investigation of the drainage situation on English Street between Ryan Avenue and Belmont Lane. Ais investigation disclosed that a ridge line formerly ran along west of Chambers Street which drained into the English Street area. The area of drainage has now been decreased to that running east of Chambors Street. Although the amount of run-off has been increased by the development of the area, he felt this was offset by the decreased area drained. i Luebben moved, Kaeder aeconded that the one block between English and Atlantic Streets, now known as 1st Avenue, be and is hereby renamed Zealand Road to conform with the eaten- lion of that street to the west. Ayes - all $ drainage easement to the Town of New Canada was received from F,ctvrard Heckeroth, widower, and. Helen D, and Harold A.

Bloomquist, Inc., with reference to the provisions of a bridge across i;he Soo Line Railroad right-~of-way immediate],y vrest of Edgerton Street on Larpenteur Avenue, was read. He pointed out that no provision was. made fo.r the construction of ,this bridge when arrangements were made for the widening and construction of Laroonteur Avenue between Rice Street and Edgerton Street. Mr. Bloomquist indicated that Mr. Bronson, County engineer, felt that a request for this bridge from the Tovm of New Canada, in addition to other in- terested groups, would facilitate his efforts to obtain funds for the construction of the bridge. The Board was requested to consider the matter and at their discretion forward the results of their consideration to the proper authorities. Luebben moved, O~I~Rara seconded that the follovring resolution be adopted: /~-~~_ 1'" ._, liI3EREAS, The Gounty of Ramsey has made provisions for the improvement of Larpenteur Avenue between McMenemy Road and Edgerton Street and, WHEREAS, The completion of this improvement requires a bridge across the Sao Line 'j Railroad right-of-way, j NOW THERLFCRL+', BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Supervisors of the Town of blew Canada hereby urges the Board of County Commissioners of Ramsey County~to appropriate funds for the purpose of completing this improvement and that the Clerk is hereby instructed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Board of County Commissioners and the County Engineer of~Ramaey County. Aye s - a~.l The second section of the Planning Commissions report, with reference to the building plans of Mr. G. W. Gausman at the Frost Avenuo location, was read. The Planning Com- mission painted. out. that they had previously reported on Nir. Gausmands proposal and that the letter received later concerning• building plans was of no particular concern to them. They felt; however, that the previous recommendations should be followed. Mr. Gausman~s letter eras then read. The letter contained a reference to the grade level and indicated compliance with the Planning Commissions recommendations. The matter of the building plans vrere reforred to Londin, Building Inspector for investigation and recommendation. A letter and plat of the Proposed °Membrez Pddition° was received from the secretary of the County Plat Commission.

The plat is situated on County Road A»2 between Arkwright and .Clark Streets.. Because the Town Board had no previous knowledge of this plat and-there i.s no further information available on it, the Clerk was instxucted to write the developer and. req_v.est full details before any action will. be taken. A letter from the Hsating and Air Conditioning Examination Board oras.read:. The letter pointed out that the Examination Board was in a position to offer written examinations. They also pointed out that incompetent men are being allowed to work in gas install.a.tion in various areas. They requested that local inspectars be instructed to chock for competency cards frequently in order to insure a greater degree of :public safety.

LaPlante is to be given full consideration far membership when a replacement is needed. A third letter from the Examination Board noted the attachment of a complete list of individuals who carry competency cards for 1957. LaPlante, Gas Inspector, was present at the meeting. He pointed out that an application had been received from a Roseville gas installer a~ho dons not have a competency card, but was recommended for licensing• by the Roseville Gas Inspector, The Board stated. that in no case had any installer been ~~grandfathexed° in for licenses. Only installers arho successitixl.ly passed examinations were licensed. The applicant had 'indicated that he was willing to take an examination. The policy was adopted that such applicants be instructed to take an examination from arhichover source it first became available, St. Paul, Minneapolis or the Hsating and'Air Conditioning Examination Board, and if successfully passed, the applicant would be granted a license in the Township. No local examinations are to be giveix. The question of licensing of department stores and appliance dealers was discussed. The St. Paul system of issuing special competency cards, based on an oral e;camination, and' special licenses for such dealers was explained.

Ayes - all Earl Kirlc, 500 Scotland Road appeared before the Board. He stated he had purchased an exposed basement structure which has been condemned for living purposes but suitable for the addition of a superstructure to be used as a home. He requested permission to add a 12 x 24 foot section to the basement which would. bring the floor area over the minimum requirements of the Building Codo when the home is completed. Mr. Kirk plans to use. the basement for a workshop and 'garage in the meantime. He was asY.ed to await the arrival of Londin, Building Inspector, for a report on the basements condition. William DeLange, 2659 Harvester, requested permission to keep a housetrailer on hie pro- perty until June 15th, 1957. He stated his intention to work on the trailer and that it is not to be used for living purposes. Luebban moved, Kaoder seconded that Mr. DeLange be given permission to keep the trailer on his property for the stated purpose for a 90 day period. Ayes - all Harold Shearer, an attorney at 544 Minnesota Building, presented a petition requesting the rezoning on Lots 13 and 14, Auditors Sub-Division No. 77, from an R»1, Residence Distract (Single Dwelling) to Business and Commercial, on behalf of a client.

Londin reported the matter of the previous condemnation proceeding against the property and raised the question of whether it would now be legally proper to use the structure. He further pointed out that no assurance had been given as to when the super- structure would be completed and that he would want the opportunity to examine the base- . ment before declaring it adequate to support a superstructure as planned by Mr.`Kirk. Memmer, Town Attorney, pointed out that it has been a policy of the Board to require a bond and set a time limit to insure the completion of the superstructure in such cases. The matter was referred to Londin for investigation and report. Mr. Kirk was advised to consider the length of time he would require for completion of the superstructure, his proposed construction plans and his willingness to post the required bond.

Ayes - all ,Mr. Ray Pritchard of Pritchard Lumbex Company requested permission to construct a new warehouse building om his property for use in connection-with hie business. Because of the unusual type of construction proposed, a pole type foundation is to be used, it was felt to be a matter requiring a decision of the Board. Mr. Pritchard stated that it is to be built ,on property leased from the railroad for a five year period and, although he has an option to renew the lease, the cost of a morn permanent type building was not justified. Londin, Building Inspoctor, reported his approval of the proposed structure and recommended acceptance by the Board. Luebben moved, Kaeder seconded that Mr. Pritchard be given the requested permission. , Ayes - all Anton Thell, 1750 Kennard, who had requested permission to build on a sub.-standard size lot at the last regular meeting, reported that he had been successful in acquiring an additional three (3) feet from the adjoining lot to provide him with 'sufficient frontage (76 feet) and fulfill the minimum area requirement of 10,000 square Pest. - Because the lot is located at a point where neither street .abutting the property is graded, this matter was discussod. It was .pointed out that permission had been granted, in a similar situation on Adole Streot, for a private driveway under an agreement that .the driveway is to be maintained by the property oumer. Fenton Avenue is graded up to R4r. Thell~s property. Luebben moved, Kaeder seconded that the Town Attorney be instructed to draw up an agreement with Pdr. Thell providing for permission to install a driveway for which ne maintainence would be required from the Township and providing for an assessment against the property when the street is eventually constructed. Ayes - all Member O~Mara brought up for discussion the matter of the property on whicb. a building recently burned down on, the corner of Frost Avenue and Barclay Streot. He pointed out that although the area hall been leveled, no effort had been made to determine whether the well had been capped. He suggested an investigation and necessary corrective action to prevent possible contamination during the Spring thaw. Londzn, Building. Inspector, was instructed to contact .the owner and to arrange for proper sealing of the abandoned well. - Harold A. Smith, 230 Grestvieva Drive, appeared before the Board, and stated his agree- ment to correct the drainage easement requested by the Board on the Heckeroth Addition property.- Arrangewents were made to provide the drainage easement on Lots ?_ and 3, Block 2, Heckeroth Addition. Luebben moved, Kaed.or seconded .that the portion'of Crestvieta Drive in the present plat of Heckeroth Addition be accepted for maintenance by the Township. Ayes - all Mrs. Peterson, Deputy Health Officer, asked. that a.letter written 'by her to Mr. Albert Philip, ot~mex of Philinville Trailer Court, be read tq the Aoard. The letter was in reply to a request from Mr. Philip that he be allowed to park eight (8) additional trailors in his court, Permission for this was granted providing Mr. Philip agreed to keep the sewage tanks pumped and hauled away until the balance of the proposed drainfield is completed. The letter also requested the names of the trailer owners and locations of the trailers. She pointed out that these people would be required to move if any more sewage is found to-be draining into the ssaarnp area or if the aevaage is not hauled away. ~ The receipt of the letter was acknowledged by Mrs. Albert J. Philip. b4rs. Peterson reported that this letter was vrritten with the approval of Dr. Nimlos, Chairman of the Board of Health. Pfrs. Peterson also -reported that upon the complaint of adjoining property owners, she had investigated a health situation at 2010 19hite Bear Avenue. She found that- renters of property owned by Ray Lanier at that address had allowed the drainage system to over- flow. Upon contacting Mr. Lan ier, he agreed to have the situation corrected immediately. She reported that Keller Sanitation arrived the following morning and after considerable difficulty, had pumped the aeptie tanks. Mr. Lanier also agreed to keep the system pumped until anew drain field could be installed in Spring. The Board asked Mrs. Peterson to u*atch the situation closely and report any further developments. .A letter from the Board of County.Commissioners with reference to a request received by the Toarn Board and directed_ to the County~s attention, for a street light on County Road C at Gem Street, was read. The request was denied, as recommended in a report from Bronson, County Engineer. The County Engineorrs report stated that because there were already lights installed one block-oast and one block west of Gem Street, the requested installa- tion was not considered justifiable. It was decided to take no further action on the request at this time. The Town Engineers report on the proposed plat of DeMarPS 5th Addition was read. The letter stated that the plat had been .examined, the site visited and found to be feasible from an engineering standpoint. They found a drainage easement necessary for proper drain- age of the street extending from Summer Street. They recommended establishment of a drainage easement along the lot line of Lots 7 and .8, Block ZO with this lot line so placed as to intersect with the lot line of Lots 13 and 14, Block 5, City Heights Addi-• tion. This would facilitate construction of a common storm sawer.between thg two plats to a low area immediately east of the plats. A drainage easement is also required along the southerly line of Lot 8, Blocle 10, DeMar~s 5th Addition for this common storm sewer. The Planning Commissions report on DeMar~s 5th Addition was also read. After an exam- ination o£ the plat, they found that the lots appeared to conform to all requirements, that the unnamed street in the plat should be assigned a name and that final acoeptance should be withheld until a topographical map is provided. In view of the fact that the ToFm Engineer had examined a topographical map and also the ground, the Board felt his report could be accepted. Luebben moved, Kaeder seconded that the Town Engineers recom- mendations on the proposed plat ba accepted. Ayes - all The ToVm Engineer presented a statement in the amount of $65.00 from the Gladstone Improve- ment Company for the installation of the steel beam to be used to support the storage area in the Street Department Garage. A letter from the Town Engineer; accompanying the statement, recommended payment of the charges as being fair and equitable. The Board directed the payment of the statement. The final plat of DeMar~s 6th Addition was presented for the approving signature of the Clerk. The plat was ap»roved at the December 20th, 1956 meeting of the Board.

Ayes - all George Ost@r, 1841 Highway No. 96, presented an application for the position of plumbing inspector for the Village. He also presented a letter from the State verifying his qualifications. The Clerk was instructed to place the application on file for possible future consideration. Merle Peterson, 1003 A11en Place, asked that a 25 foot section o~ a lot previously deeded to the Town of New Canada be returned to him. It was explained that a number of years ago this portion of a lot and a full corner lot was to be deeded to the Toemship for playground purposes. The corner lot deed was apparently lost and never recorded. The owner later refused to give a new deed and a house was constructed on the property. The 25 foot section Mr. Peterson gave now cannot serve the purpose for which it was intended and is only a corridor .to other property. He asked that it be deeded back to him so he could again assume the responsibility for its upkeep. blemmer stated that he could not give advice on this matter until he learnod more about the method of conveyance of the property.

The matter was referred to the Village Attorney with instructions to draw up regalations on the raising and keeping of pigs in the Village. A letter from William H. Schafer, 1141 Pacific was read. The letter requested information as to the Building Code req_uirernents on basement homes. Mr. Schafer owned a lot in the Village and proposed 'co start construction of a basement dwelling. The Council pointed out that it would first be necessary for him to get the permission of his neighbors. The Village would then require a performance bond guaranteeing the completion of the superstructure by a, pre--established date. The Building Inspector was instructed to contact Mr. Shafer and explain the situation to him. A report on the investigation o£ the request by Ambrose Zeck, 442 Lafond, for a building permit on the back half of the lot at the S.E. corner of Frost Avenue and Kennard Street was called for. Ljungren reported that there was a definito drainage problem in the area as the. result of the failure of Mr. Zeck to follow the Enginoer~s recommendations when the house was built at 1928 Kennard.. Although Mr. Zeck has since sold the house, it was felt by the Council and recommended by the Village Engineer that the drainage problem should be corrected before a Building Permit is granted. -The Clerk was instructed to write a letter to hlr. Zeck and inform him of this decision. In response to a request by letter from the Ramsey County Assessor, Rupp moved, O~Mara~ seconded that Leo Kaedor be appointed Assessor for the Village of Maplewood, subject to Mr. Kaeder~s acceptance. i .

They assumed that streets will be graded according to the staisfaction of-the Village Engineer in-view of the adjustment of terrain which appears necessary on the topographical map. 3. They recommended that Lots 13 and 14-, Blook 3, be omitted and First Avenue extonded all the way throw. between German and Hazel 5treot in order to provide additional access to the center of the development. Ljungren reported that during a preliminary check of the area, it was indicated that a storm, sewer would hays to be built. He requested additional-time to make a more. detailed investigation before giving a roport.

Mr. Thell had previously been granted two building permits without a contractors license being required on the basis that the homes ware being built for himself. It was felt. that a-license should be required even though he gave the same information on this third application for permit. An earlier decision to withhold this permit until the other two homes tuere completed, could not be resolved 4rithout further,inyestigation, so the matter was referred to the Clerk and Building Inspector for an equitable solution. The hearing for the consideration of the proposed construction of Conway Avenue continued to 9t 00 P.M, on this date was declared open by Mayor Luebben. It was reported that the _~ slope easements required from the Cemetery Association had ,not 'yet been signed because of the illness of Mr. Daggett who represents that group.

A lengthy discussion followed in which it was brought out that Th9 Ralph North Company did not own it~a own equipment and would have to lease it. 'Earth Movers, Inc., planned to sublet the storm sewer construction work without so notifying'the Village Engineer. This was in violation of the specifications. There was also a question between the two as to the responsibility for guaranteeing satisfactory installation of the storm sewer and street'above it. In view of these points and the advantage of dealing with one contractor'in completing the project, the Council felt that acceptance of the lots joint bid of the St. Paul Dredging Company was advisable.
