, , Minutes of Special Counci I Meeting Page f I v€, February 18, '1975 McNlesh was requested to inform Mounds View School District of the Council's action and to relay Counci I 's concern re parking; recom- mending that access and parking be reviewed. Change in Administrative Procedure Wingert reported that the Planning Commission has recommended that the Planning Commission review final construction drawings, prior to issu- ance of Building Permits. Fredlund indicated that the proposed zoning ordinance does include this procedure, and it is done in a number of communities - only for commer- cial, industrial and multiple dwellings, to assure Council of compli- ,ance with special conditions. . Squires suggested that perhaps a sub-committee could handle the review more quickiy; saving construction time for the applicant. After discussion, the Councii generally felt that the review should be made by the Buiiding Inspector - comparing final drawings with plans approved by the Council. If a specific problem, or change, is noted, this could be refel"red to the Planning Commission for review, or a copy of t~e plan could be routed through the Planning Commission and Council. It was felt that the magni~ude of the project .ould determine the pro- cedure. Building Inspector could advise when plans are received on large developments, and request help in the review If he desires. REPORT OF VILLAGE TREASURER RICHARD O'KELLY Investments O'Kelly reported an investment of $190,000 for 6 months at 6.50% on February 14, 1975.

REPORT OF CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER LARRY SQU1RES Squires referred Council to his memo of 2/14/75 and the Council dis- ,cussed the proposed new perm I t fee schedu I e and enforcement procedure of the various Village codes with Mr. Squires. How code violations are found, was discussed (i.e. signs which are in violation or not licensed, construction, for which permits have not been issued, exterior storage violations etc.) It was generally felt that the Police Department and Building Inspector be cognizant of Vi I lage Ordinances, reporting apparent violations for ordinance en- forcement. In discussion of the Blue Fox Inn, Squires noted that the owner has been notified that the basement must be sprinklered before p~bl ic use can be permitted. It was noted by Wingert that the Special Use Permit was based on plans presented for the main floor only; if basement is to be uti lized for publIc use, an Amended Special Use Permit would be needed. . In discussion of the proposed fee schedule, Council commented that the fee charged should cover al I expenses, but not be profit making.
