about 75% coaplete and that none of the required street none signs are

requested building permits be granted if the owner of the area agreed to
eocrplete all of the required work by October 1, 1969 and to post adequate
surety to insure that the work would be cxmpleted by that date. Mr. Zimpfer
indicated that this plan would be acceptable to the owners. Mr. Haugen
moved that in return for a properly secured agreement between the V3.11age of
Eden Prairie and the owner of the Red Rack Second Addition requiring that
all of the necessary subdivision inpx nents be completed by !October 1, 1969,
