JANKE'S FIRST ADDITION
40 Due to changes in ownership in lots in the plat, it could not be
recorded as approved by the -Zoning & Planning Commission and the Village
Council in September. The County requested that the plat be redone to
show this change before it could be filed. This has been done with the
only changes being in the owners names.
A motion was made by Ralph Nesbitt and seconded by Albert Picha to
approve Janke's 1st Addition as corrected to show new owners and authorize
Chairman and Clerk to sign.
Motion carried.
PEARSON FIRST ADDITION
Action on this was tabled until the November meeting as lot sizes are
too small, also no report by the Engineer.
VFW - EXCELSIOR
The VFW - Excelsior requested information on using the old Methodist
Church property for a VFW Club. VFW National Constitution requires club sites
to be in a commercial area, this not being a commercial area it was felt by
the Zoning & Planning Commission that there were too many factors involved in
this to start a change procedure. No action was taken.
H. HELLA EXCAVATION PERMIT
Mr. Hawkes reported that he, Mr. Carter and Mr. Miller had looked the
area over. Until a -final topography map on a preliminary plat was drawn
up to show what was to be removed and why it was requested, no action should
be taken on the request to remove any of the land in this area.
GUNNARD CARLSON
Mr. Carlson appeared with a request for variance on set back from lot
line for his garage from 50 feet to 35 feet. There were no objections from
the adjoining property owners as this meets the restrictive covenants on this
area, filed and made a matter of public record in 1954•
A motion was made by Ralph Nesbitt and seconded by Dr. Wright to recommend
to the Council that Mr. Carlson be authorized a variance on Lot B, Registered
Land Survey #547, Riverview Heights plat from 50 feet to 35 feet-from property
line to garage.
Motion carried.
HILLCREST COURTS SECOND ADDITION

agreed to continue holding up action on his request for rezoning.
BELLHURST-2ND ADDITION
Mr. Kral appeared with new proposals for Bellhurst-2nd Addition.
Mr. Hawkes commented on good and bad features of plat including roadways.
It was agreed to hold off action until this could be gone over with Mr. Hawkes.
REQUEST - CITY OF BLOOMINGTON
A request was made by the City of Bloomington for approval of a truck
stop type service station on the northwest corner of Interstate 494 and County
Road 18. It was agreed that this type of operation would not fit in with
Eden Prairie plans for this area. The Zoning & Planning Commission recommends
to the Council that they express opposition to the proposal.
