04-27-1970 PC MIN t . I j l . Meeting of the Elk River Village Planning Commission Monday, April 27th, 1970. Members Present: Dan Bailey Lester Derr Hilmer Bartelt Albert Bailey Richa.rd Gongoll John Mao<lii!fbon . In the Absence of the Secretary, the Minutes were taken by the Chairman, Dan Bailey, The first order of Business was the consideration of the propOsed plat of mrvin Moldenhauer. Members of the commission saw a future problem in that the street shown in the proposed plat contained a low place in its center whereby runoff would tend to collect in the street. While it apparently would not be serious at the present time, it would, when the street was surfaced probably require a storm sewer to remove the tnapped surface water. The commission could forsee that when the plate and the adjacent lands were incorporated into the village the problem would then become a burden on future taxpayers. It was also pointed out that at the present time, prior to the passage of a platting ordinance, and prior to the extension of that platting ordinance to the two mile limit outside the village limits, the commission could do no more than reccomend to the county planning commission. A motion was made and seconded that "The Village Planning Commission reccomend to the County Planning Commission that prior to the acceptance of the preliminary plat of "Orono Lake 2nd Addition" a contour map be made to one foot intervals showing elevations in said plat, and that a"proposed road profile"map be made of the street shown in said plat to the end that grade levels might be set that would provide for the suryace drainage of said street. Motion carried. . The second order of business was the consideration of the proposed SCHOOL VIEW 1st ADD. (by Marvin George Builders) . The following information was pointed out. 1. That practically all the lot sizes were under 20,000 sq. ft. 2. That all lot sizes were over 15,000 sq. ft. 3. That the general plan of the street layout looked feasable. 4. That the flood level of the lagooning area should probably be set at 903 feet, and that this would require excavation. 5. That it was apparently the intention of the plattor to have the land in the plat annexed to the Village of Elk River. 6. That the object of such annexation would be to obtain sewer and water service. 7. That the nearest sewer and water lines are about 1300 feet from the point of access to the nearest lot in this addition. 8. That a water main run to this point would cost in the neighborhood of 26,000.00 dollars. 9. That even with annexation the probability of installing either a water main or a sewer main xexe was remote. 10. that The lot sizes as now shown ~o not comply with the platting ordinances (as proposed) of the village, or the Platting ordinance of the County. --~~~-~fta~-~~-m~~ft~-~a~e-~we-yeare-~e-ftave-~fte-~afta-aftftexea-~e-~fte-v~~~a~e~ Motion was made and seconded that BBi<<x~ixx the Village Planning Commission reccomend to the County Planning commission that said ~xmB preliminary plat ~J!I~ and subdivision regulations be made to comply with the Proposed zoning ordinance/os the various government bodies involved. Motion Passed. The third order of business concernd an application for a variance concerning a remodeling of the Frank White house on Lot 2m of, Block,6,..Houlton"s Addition to the Village of Elk River.
