zoning this to C-2 as per the petition.

shopping center zoning for this area. Anthony Hirt voted nay, stating
that he was in favor of the zoning but not in favor of the present ordinance
as it covered the shopping center. Ralph Nesbitt voted yes, Dr. John Wright

ITEM 12-5-66 PUBLIC HEARING ON REZONING OF THE CHAR-LYNN PROPERTY
Notes are in Hearing File No. 25 on this matter.
Mr. Arnie Bloomquist represented Char-Lynn and explained that the Char-Lynn
organization had purchased this residential property for development as a
residential area primarily for the -apployees of Char-Lynn who were having
difficulty making the move from their own location into Eden Prairie but that
the lots would not be restricted and would be sold to any individual who met
the conditions for the area. He explained that they were asking for the one-
half acre zoning so that they could utilize the land in its natural state to
a greater advantage. With the 28 acres in the one half acre zoning they were
only coming up with 34 lots in their preliminary planning. It was generally
felt that this would be good zoning for the area, that the development of the
area would benefit by residential development of a high caliber in this area.
Motion was made by Anthony Hirt, seconded by Ralph Nesbitt to recommend rezoning
from RA to R+=1 as per the petition.
The motion carried.
ITEM 7-6-66 DISPOSAL ORDINANCE
The disposal ordinance or sanitary land fill ordinance as presented by
Midwest Planning had been passed out at the last meeting and the members
had gone over it at their leisure.
They now went through it on the areas on which they felt should be adjusted.
They felt that there were several areas where there were excess words which
ZONING AND PLANNING MEETING 3 20 December, 1966
should be removed, that the Village Attorney in going through this would
pick up most of these words, and have them removed from the final draft
of the ordinance. In order to properly handle this, they are making a
recommendation to the Council that they basically approve the sanitary land
fill and dump ordinance as presented by Midwest Planning and are recommending
that the Council now turn the ordinance over : to the Village Attorney for his
opinion and then prepare for action by the Council.
The Clerk is to furnish the Council with copies of the ordinance with the
corrected areas as proposed by the Planning Commission.
The motion carried.
ITEM 11-6-66 701 PLAN
Two more reports were received by the Clerk. They felt they could finish this a
up in the first meeting in January. No further action was taken on this item.
ITEM 12-7-66 DESCRIPTION ON DUCK LAKE TRAIL
Mr. Quentin Wood showed the map as prepared by the County showing the various
sections of Duck Lake Trail that had been re-surveyed. The County had also
given various legal descriptions on this. The Board felt that this was in line
with good planning to get the road completely described so that in any future
action regarding platting on either side of the road, there would be no problem
with the location of the road.
The Board brought forth the items of Foto-Mark, junk yards, and the enforcement
of the junk yard ordinance. They were advised that this would be coming up at
the next Council meeting.
