ABSENT Clerk Rademacher. Also present: Attorney Gorgos, Administrator Ford and Consulting Engineer Blasidell. The minutes of the meeting of March 9, 1970 and March lb, 1970, having been previously distributed were approved on a Motion by Cox, second by Gerten., all in favor, passed. The council discussed at length the effects on Farmington of the recent Lakeville Village Council decision in which they approved the rezoning for two Mobile Homme Parks. These two parks ultimately will involve some 1350 mobile homes, both parks located in the Farmington School District. It was the consensus of the Council members that this action was arbitrary and capricious in that at least one of these Mobile Home sites was located in the disputed area of annexation. There was considerable conjecture whether perhaps pro- blems were bding created which Farmington would inherit if the area were to come to Farmington by virtue of ruling by the Municipal Commission. Motion by Kleinsasser the the Village Attorney be instructed to institute the necessary proceedings to obtain a restraining order against the Village of Lakeville from approving any large development in the disputed area pend- ing a ruling by.the M.M.C. Second by Gerten, FOR: Kleinsasser, Brosseth and Gerten, ABSTAINED: Cox, Absent: Rademacher. Motion carried. The council requested engineer Blaisdell to prepare a report contain- ing his comments and recommendations in regard to the recent PCA study in which the Farmington Waste Water treatment plant was included. In conjunction with this PCA report, the administrator was instructed to follow up with Twin City Milk Plant concerning their clear water line which was also prominently mentioned in their report. The Administrator was instructed to write to the Metropolitan Council objecting to the practice of metropolitan agencies requesting the pre- sence of municipal consultants without registering such requests through the Village Hall. The council instructed the Administrator to refer a memorandum from Blaisdell, concerning supplying municipal water to a new proposed Industrial Site on Northeastern boarder of the Village, to the Water Board, Planning Commission and the Industrial Development Corporation. The council would seek the advise and comments of these groups The council instructed and authorized the Administrator to renegotiate the existing joint use contract with TCM in regard to the waste water treatment plant.

This policy was applied in the case of Thurmes and Vincent. It means that a property owner abutting an im- provement is assumed never to have been assessed for that improvement while they were out of the village, therefore, they are to be charged a fair-share benefit cost of $500.00 for sewer and $500,00 for water.

Also Present: Administrator Ford and Attorney Gorgos. The public hearing was opened in the matter of the proposed rezoning from R-2 to B-3 the area bounded by Maple Street, Second Street and the railroad right-of-way. Representatives from Peerless Plastics and from Reason Realty joined in a discussion with the council as petitioners for the rezoning. A petition apposing the rezoning was presented contain- ing signatures of 22 residents. There seemed to be a concensus on the part of the council that to deny as commercial use to a building of this size and value would create an undue hardship on the part of the owners. On the other hand, the nearby residents appeared not to object to a commercial use of that particular piece of land but did object to the currounding residential area being rezoned to B-3. Motion by Brosseth that in view of the above facts that the zoning ordinance be amended to include the subject parcel in the present B-3 zone and that the zoning map be changed as amended. Second by Kleinsasser, APIF, passed. The special committee appointed by the council to study the possible re- location of the municipal b.quor operation was presented to the council.

They expressed a need for this improvement to provide an access haul road to facilitate the construction activity which they have planned for the spring of 1971. The Village administrator was instructed to answer their letter by informing them that since the center is a non- assessable Federal Government installation that the improvement would have to be financed entirely by special assessment against other abutting property to which there was very strong objection or financed entirely in part from ad valorem funds which were not available.

Absent: Clerk Rademacher, and Trustee Cox. Also Present: Administrator Ford and Attorney Gorgos. The council received a request from Jerry Zimmer, owner of the Standard Bulk Tanks located on 2nd Street, for a street light. It was the feeling of the council that municipal street lights should be placed primarily to aluminate public streets and intersections and that in this instance private yard light- ing may be more appropriate. The Administrator was instrument to inspect the area and report back to the council. A letter was received by Louie Mills, owner of the building adjacent to the Village Hall. It stated that he planned substantial improvement to the build- ing but before proceeding, wish to clarify whether the Village had apy interest in acquiring that property. The council expressed an opinion that the asking price o of $23,000 negated whatever interest they might have had at this time. The Administrator was instructed to inform Mr. Mills.

He advised the council that the railroad took a strong objection to the proposed improvement of Maple Street which would result in a full width im- proved crossing of the railroad. He pointed out several difficulties which such an occurence would present, not the least of which would be school bus traffic and the interference of the making up of trans in the marshalling yards. It was pretty well established that a signal light system would also be required. There was some strong feeling on the part of the council that a crossing at that location is necessary for the conveience of thetraveling public and more specifically to serve the rapidly developing area located west of the railroad right-of-way. The council took the matter under ad- visement. The Mayor presented to the council a summons and complaint which had been ser- ved on him this day by the developers of Westview Acres, notifying the Village of their intent to appeal the special assessment on certain property owned by them for the improvements under project 70-5A and 70-5B.
