A policy decision should be made that would apply to all roads or this type.

Mr. Perbix presented an interim zoning ordinance which would give the Council more control and take the basic action off the administrative people for a period cf six months while the village was in the process of preparing a new zoning ordinance.

This study is needed in order to determine the type of road that should be built in the area and the construction costs and so on. The Senic Heights Road, because of the continuous problem with break up we are having in the area, it was felt that this work should be done so that we could determine what should be done to the road. The Duck Lake Roads would be under State Aid Reimbursement funds. A motion was made Ly Paul Redpath, seconded by Arthur Miller to authorize up to $1,000.00 for a soil engineering study and to request this study by the State of Minnesota.

The attorney is to further check into this and information will be available at the next Council meeting. 6. Excavation ordinance. 7Mr. Wood presented an excavation ordinance which had been adopted by the Hennepin County Municipalities and Mr. Wood stated that the county people were asking that this be adopted so that everybody knew what they were required to do. Mr. Wood recommended a permit fee of $5.00, a bond of $1,000.00 and insurance of 100 and $300. '✓v There was some question as who would be exempt and who wouldn't under the various aspects of this ordinance. I Motion was made by Paul Redpath, seconded by Warren Shultz to have Mr. Perbix study this and give us a report at the next meeting. The motion carried. 7. The village maintenance building. Mr. Wood reported that he had done some very brief figuring on a bare building of sufficient size to house the present equipment and give us a minimum amount of time before an addition would be required. COUNCIL MEETIIiG 4 28 May, 1968 lie felt that $3$,000.O0 would Le the minimum amount: plus the necessary land costs. If this was to go into an industrial district, we could pay upwards to $59000 an acre for the land and the Council agreed to put into the bond election $60 ,OD0.00 for a maintenance building bond. 8. Road maintenance. Mr. Wood's report of llay 14th in which he outlined the road work for the season had been gone over by members of the Council.

Petition to Nut calcium chloride on Barberry Lane at the Village expense. I4r. Wood had done socie checking and found that if we had this put on by a professional firri, it r-.oulu cost approximately ten cents a foot for the home owner to have the liquid calcium chloride applied. This would soak into the u&. road approximately four inches. It would allow grading and still keep the 0 oad in a moist condition. = because the letter to the Village had asked that this Le put on at the Village expense or that the school share in the cost because of the school traffic, it was decided that the school should be appraised of this matter. Motion was made by Warren Shultz, seconded by Arthur Miller to send a letter 'to the school district with the letter from the home owners asking for an answer to the request and advising them of the cost of ten cents a foot. The motion carried. 10. Mr. Drc d?e'S request to improve Valley Road. Mr. Dredge asked if the Council would consider finalizing the road and then improving it. It Mad been originally dedicated to the Village in 1948 and the Village had accepted the property for future road development. I Fie was advised that he should have a petition signed by 65% of the abutting property 'molders requesting a road improvement project, that this would then be given an engineering study. The. hearing would be held and at this point j the people would have the right to determine whether they wanted to continue with it or not. ITT! 5-8-6 8 HERB I•iASON lie fi Mr. Mason appeared with people from Tel-E-Lect and Mr. Mason's site planner Mr. John Raap from Ellerbe who would do the planning for Mr. Mason's industrial park. Mr. Mason stated he had discussion with Mr. Brauer on this and Mr. Brauer felt that this could be worked in provided that the park used 169 as a boundary either north or south and provided the necessary access room for the highway, also that Mr. Mason phased from industrial to residential though not directly but from the COU,+CIL HELTIP+G 5 28 May, 1968 industrial into a specialized residential before he went into a single family dwelling. Various members of the Council had visited the Tel-L-Lett operations and felt that there was no basic problem as far as the buildings, the plant operations and the design were concerned. The people from Tel-E-Lett stated that there would be outside storage of the complete units and of the trucks hefore the units were mounted on there. This would be an orderly storage and it would be completely fenced because these units had to be protected, that the work on the units would be done inside of the building. Presently it is necessary to do this outside because the building they presently occupied does not have sufficient height to allow them to do the work. The building they would be erecting would allow them to mount the booms and make all adjustments inside. it was generally agreed that Tel-L-Lett would be a desirable addition to the Eder. Prairie industrial community and that the clerk was to draft a letter to Tel-E-Lett stating the Council's feelings on this matter. Mom. Mason is to have some preliminary plans for the first meeting in June for the industrial area as prepared by Mr. Raap. t ITEM 5-24-68 EDEN PRAIRIE JAYCEES Mr. Wood explained that the Jaycees were not ready to present their resolution . and that they would ask for time at a future meeting.
