Adolphson stated that Ytr. r~ue has a building permit for a three-stall garage and has the septic system in, but not the ~Tell, and has not applied for a building permit for the house. ~~. Maue said this property is located at 19215 Tyler Street off of nrin Lakes Drive and County Road 13, and is 14 acres in Section 26. The COID~ission was unclear as to when he ~Tould begin construction of the house. r~. Maue stated he would build the garage begin- ning in October and live in the trailer until he could begin construction on the house in the fall of 1981 or spring of 1982. He said he intends to have the mobile home on the house site and then pull it off to ~he side and still live in it while constructing his house. Commissioner Kreuser felt it would be better to have the trailer off to the side right away and not on the house site, and it sounded like a permanent situation to him. The public portion was then opened: vlally Fox questioned the necessity of moving the mobile home in now if construction of the house was not going to start until next year. He recoID~ended to the Cow_mission they issue a conditional use permit on a six-month renevTal basis only. The public portion was closed. COID~issioner Hinkle felt if a six-month conditional use permit were granted, nothing would be started. COID~issioner Tracy asked when he would move the trailer on the property. ~~. Maue said around the first of October, as he had to be out of his present residence then. Conmissioner Driessen asked about the possibility of moving to a trailer court. lftr. ~~ue said he could not afford to do that.

Johnson said the problems created for maintenance would be offset by the avoidance of extra traffic on Fa1fn Drive. The grade of the road was discussed, and ~tr. Johnson felt it might be a good time for this to be corrected. The nQmber of d'\oTelling units was changed to 134. There would also be a larger general retail area of about three acres in the commercial section. The service road along 169 would be consistent with the zoning ordinances. tIT. Adolphson said he could see problems with the present plan for the road, so far as snow removal and drainage, as the ditch was not adequate for this. ~tr.

Hanson brought up his concern regarding the amount of traffic that would be generated from the 134 dwellings (approximately 130-200 cars), and his house being at the exit where all of the traffic is directed. He said he has two little girls and is concerned for their safety and his property. He suggested perhaps angling the road to the left. r~. Santwire and ~1r. Johnson vTere not sure of the feasibility of that, but tIT. Santwire suggested they meet to work out something. ~~. Johnson went on to the drainage which ~rould drain into the existing ditch along the highway. P~so, there vTould be a private lift station accessed to the benefiting four co~mercial lots, but maintained by the City. ~tr.
