Council Meeting -- 2 March 8, 1966
(1-16-66) REZONING TEMAN, FEEDER'S, INC.
The last Council action on this had requested a report from the Village planner
and a report from the Planning & Zoning Board. The Chairman had contacted the Vil-
lage planner, Midwest Planning, and asked for an estimated cost of this report. The
planner informed the Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Commission, Mr. Miller, that
a report to cover the area involved on the Teman, Feeder's, Inc. request for rezoning
+ ' would cost the Village approximately $300.00. Mr. Miller then made a telephone check
< with the other members of the Village Council and they felt that at this time this
was too much money to spend for this report and did not authorize Mr. Miller to pro-
ceed with this end of the operation. There was some discussion as to the meaning of
t7 the motion made by the Zoning & Planning Commission at their meeting when they dis-
cussed this action and because of the uncertainty of the exact intent of the Planning
& Zoning Commission action a motion by A. W. Miller seconded by Kenneth E. Anderson to
send the Ordinance draft back to the Planning & Zoning Board for recommendation as to
approval or disapproval of the requested rezoning and a written report on their actions
on this matter. Motion carried.

The Clerk reported that the Village of Eden Prairie was in no way involved in the

The contacts the Clerk had with Shakopee advised him that this was internal problem
between the Shakopee City Council and the Volunteer Fire Department on certain basic a
Issues which the Village of Eden Prairie had no control of. The Village had enjoyed
very fine relationships with the Shakopee City Council and the Shakopee Fire Department
n this matter in the past.

Mayor Al Illies; Engineer, Bill Shell; Attorney, Carl Dever appeared before the

the Twin City newspapers that .hey speaking for the Village of Eden Prairie at cer-
tain public functions along with their activities for the Village of Minnetonka:. .
They also presented some historical information on the Minnetonka Sewer Proposals
and the sewer plant that the firm of Schoell & Madson has designed for siteing in Eden
Prairie. They also advised us of a meeting that was being held at the Minnetonka
Village Hall oa March 10, the Village had previously been advised by letters to the
Mayor and the Village Engineer and requested that we attend this meeting so that we
would be further informed of Minnetonka's actions, direction and work on the wewer
for the Southwest area. Their seems to be some discrepency as to the general aspects
of the matter, as Mayor Illies states that tha Village of Minnetonka has in way located
a plant for sewage disposal along the :Minnesota River. The plans shown by Mr. Schoell
of Schoell & Madson do show a plant located in Eden Prairie and they have made certain
recommendations to the site for a treatment plant. In the case of the plant, Eden

the location in Eden Prairie of the treatment plant at any time. No further action
was taken by the Council at this time.

would not start until sometime aremd May 1 , and that the plant would be operated in a
substantially higher type of operation than in 1965. Mr. Clifford Nelson and Mr. Dale
Sales appeared representing Mr. Josef Pausch of Aerodyne, Inc. requesting that the Coun-
cil deny the permit 'becaus6 of =wises, dust oil reakings and they just generally did not
like the operation. There were several statements made by both sides as to what was
the major cause of the dust in the area. It was generally agreed that the condition of
the road would certainly have lead to a great deal of dust throughout the entire area
compared to the operation of this plant. Mr. Perbix, the Village Attorney, asked the
two parties if they could get together on certain requirements as to the operation of
the plant. It was felt that these could be worked out therefore the action on this z
application was postponed until the March 23, meeting.
(3-13-66) BILL PEARSON
Request for a mining license on the Samway property. Mr. Pearson appeared with
his maps and other pertinent information requesting permission to preforta:a mining oper-
ation on the Samway property which adjoines his present gravel mining operation on
