ITEM 11-3-66 MOBILE HOMES
The Board further reviewed Mr. James Hawkes' report on Mobile Homes. There was
much discussion on this matter. Mr. James Hawkes stated that in his opinion
Mobile Homes should be considered a form of multiple dwelling in a community
because of the density of population encountered in a mobile home court.
The Board felt that if they allowed one in how could they stop the second, third
or fourth mobile home court from entering the community. Mr. James Hawkes stated
that there were certain technical administrative ways that you could hold down
the number of courts by making the requirements such that not everybody could
fullfill the requirement. There was some question as to what the Board should or
should not do at this point. They were advised that the Council would like a
recommendation from the Board, one way or the other and then the Council would
act on their initiative with the recommendation from the Board as to whether
an Ordinance should or should not be drafted which could go through the Zoning
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 2 21 November, 1966
Board for recommendations and information purposes.
It was felt that the members of the Board should study this through now and
prepare to make individual recommendations at the next Board meeting so that
a final recommendation can be made to the Council.
A motion was then made by Anthony Hirt, seconded by Albert Picha to table this
until the meeting of December 5, 1966 in which time final action would be taken
on the Mobile Home matter.
The motion carried.

The Clerk reported to the Board that the Council had approved their request
for the expenditure of certain funds for publishing and holding public hearings
on rezoning some of the M-2 property to other than Industrial classification.
The Zoning Board is to set the Hearing Date for this matter.
The Zoning Board then set the following properties, the property which is the
M-2 property consisting of the Eden Prairie Golf Course, all of the M-�2 property
g'- south of County Road 1 and the M-2 property north of County Road 1 and west of
Riley Lake Road south of Riley Lake, all the M-2 property north of State

ITEM 11-8-66 .- RED ROCK LAKE 2ND ADDITION

Board regarding the road in the Red Rock Lake 2nd Addition.
There seemed to be a mis-understanding on Mr. Rutter's part. He thought he

had Council approval because the Council'granted him a waiver regarding the
black topping of the streets in this area, that he had Council approval on the
entire plat. He was advised that he would have to meet the Village requirements
on drainage and lot lay-out etc. , that the only waiver was on the basic require-
ments of black topping the streets. As Mr. Quentin Wood explained to him by
making the proper installations of his culvert for the storm drainage and by
using the existing area he could come up with a cheaper installation as far as
the storm drainage is,concerned and have two more lots available for sale.
The Board felt that as outlined by Mr. Quentin Wood, it would be the best plan
for the use of the land for the carrying away of the storm water and for the
adjoining property.
Mr. Quentin Wood was instructed to work with Mr. Rutter and his Engineer and
properly design this so that Mr. Rutter could proceed with the development
of the property.
ITEM 11-A-66 HOWARD PETERSON
Mr. Peterson appeared before the Zoning Board requesting information as to the
proposed location of the Northern States Power line along Duck Lake Road. Mr.
Peterson was advised that Northern States had been given tentative route approval
but had not been given final approval as they had not presented a complete layout
to the Village showing the exact location of the line.
Motion was made by Anthony Hirt, secnnded by David Dale that the Clerk send
Northern States Power a letter reminding them that they have to receive final
approval before they can start construction and it would be necessary for them
to submit complete plans on the route for this particular line for final approval.
The motion carried.
ITEM 11-B-66 JOE SEMRAD
Mr. Semrad appeared before the Board requesting permission to divide his lot 2
and 3 of King's Court Addition, Block 1 into 3 lots of approximately
27 thousand square feet by registered land survey and present this to the Board

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 4 21 November, 1966
ITEM 11-6-66 701 PLANNING
The members of the Board were not prepared to submit information on the
applications for the 701 Planning at this time. They did have a considerable
amount of discussion about what would be applicable to put into an application
and what would not be considered in the best interests in the Village and also
how detailed you should go.
It was felt that the Board members should submit their applications to the
Village Hall by Saturday at which time the Clerk would have them consolidated
and returned to the Board members with information on each area of the
application with possibly 30 or more different ideas.
