Mr. Zakariason appeared before the Council to request whatever Council
action was necessary to allow him to put up a directional sign on High-
way 169 on the property owned by Sever Peterson giving directions to the
Cedar Hills Golf Course which Mr. Zakariason is the proprietor of. He
explained that he had problems getting the people to the Course as the
location of the Course was hidden from any of the main thoroughfares in
the Village. This Golf Course is a Recreational asset to the Village and
it does not cost the Village tgxpayers for the maintainance of the
Course. The general feeling of all members of the Council was that any-
thing possible should be done to help Mr. Zakariason get people to his
course so that he could continue in operation. The Village attorney check-
ing our Ordinance advised the Council that a Special Use PERMIT @BULd be
granted under Section 5.1B4 Ordinance 8 for a directional sign.

ITEM 6-6-66 JAMES, GLEASON, LOWINS KI REQUEST FOR A MINING LICENSE
Mr. Wood presented the information regarding the application and stated that
further study by all people concerned, they felt that there was no mater-
ial to be actually removed from the site and it would be moved from one
point on the site to another to accomplish a general leveling operation
over the entire site but that there was not enough material to actually
sell, therefore they felt that possibly they should withdraw their app-
lication for a mining license and apply for a land-alteration permit.
The Council generally concurred that if this was their desire, that they
should then properly handle it in this manner.
'^ A motion was then made by Anderson, seconded by Miller to refer this
matter back to the property owners for the correct request.
COUNCIL MEETING -- 3 lu June 1966
ITEM 6-7-66 GARRISON-JONES REQUEST FOR MINING LICENSE

with all the requirements of Ordinance 36 and that he recommended to the

made no request to the Department of Highways Commissioner in the State
of Minnesota for either higher or lower speed limits on any Village

ITEM 6-15-66 MRS. JOHN RAGUET
Mrs. Raguet appeared before the Council with her request as to whether
the Village had taken over an easement road which she had granted from
Sunnybrook Road to the Lueth property as she was in the process of sell-
ing some additional property along this road and the parties had been f
advised that they could not get building permits along this easement.
The Village attorney and the Council advised Mrs. Raguet that under the t
terms of the existing Village Ordinances while the easement road was E
sufficient at the time it was granted for the Lueth's to build under the
present Ordinances in order to receive a building permit the party must
have direct access on to a public road and not an easement road and for
the Village to take this over as a public road it would have to meet the
necessary Village standards as to ,grading and final finishing which
would include black-topping. Mr. Perbix advised the Council that if
they felt it necessary they could grant a variance as to the final width
of the road right-of-way if this became a hardship on existing homes in
the area. No further action was taken on this matter at this time.
