2. The CLERK CALLED THE ROLL -
PRESENT - HOFFN,AN, HANSEN, ARCAND, GRAY, MORGAN & D.HOFFMAN.
ABSENT - NONE.

3. MOVED BY HANSEN AND SECONDED DY GRAY THAT THE MINUTES OF THE
PREVIOUS MEETING HELD MAY 15th 1962 BE DISPENSED WITH. ALL AYES.
#. PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR - NONE
5. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES -
a. Bemis asked Mr. Dale to proceed with his report. Dale stated
that the council and planning committee had now received "Planning
report #1 - Analysis of existing Development of Gem Lake Village",
that comments had been received on this report and that he was
now submitting report #2, called "A Comprehensive guide Plan for
the Village of Gem. Lake - Dratf Copy". With this report he also
submitted the following maps: -
LAND USE PLAN
OUTLINE OF ZONING TEXT
CIRCULATION STUDY
Dale stated that after the council and the planning committee had
studied the Guide Plan and the Maps, and made any comments or
changes, the Guide Plan would then be put into final forth and would
be accompanied with report #3 "Subdivison Regulations" and #4
"Zoning Ordinance", and that these items are those which make the
Plan effective.
General discussion followed with respect to the Land Use Map.Dale
pointed out that in some areas the larger lot sizes were running
from 21 to 5 acres, but they felt that the choice of 3 acres for
our larger lots was in keeping with the atmosphere we wish to keep
in Gem Lake and that if at a later date there became a demand to
split these lots, they could be split to 12 acres, but provision
should be made that houses should be so placedon the 3 acre lots
so that splitting could be possible. There was considerable discussion
of the 21,000 foot lots, in the south west corner, and it was decided
that as our present limit was 20,060 sq.ft., this did not make much
of a change and that 24,000 feet was a good size. At the same time
it was pointed out that the Minimum Floor areas per dwellingunit
? been increased to:-
3 acres - 19800 sq. ft
1 acre - 1,500 ' " It
36,000 sq. ft" if. 1,200 200 sq, ft, lift
As far as the commercial zoning suggestions were concerned, the
group seemed to feel that these were about right, and fitt3d with
existing conditions.
Dale also showed skeatches in connection with the "Outline of
Zoning Text" to explain "Lot frontage", "Front yard set backs",
"Side yard set backs", "Rear ,yard set backs", and "Permitted uses",
34th Meeting - Page #2.
This "Outline of Zoning Text" gives a very good picture of what
is intended in the "Land use plan".
Dale pointed out that the "Circulation Map" was most important
because it indicated the direction and size of roads that would
be required if this area should develope and be subdivided. He
said it was essential to keep such "circulation i' in mind at all
times to avoid a bodge-podge of roads at some late date.This has
happened all too often and is most uneconomic.
Dale explained the difference between a "BUILDING CODE - which
applies to new construction only " and a "HOUSII@ CODE - which
applies only to existing structures and is used to upgrade the
looks of the area".
In general the Council and the Planning Committee felt that our
Planners had submitted a very fine group of suggestions that
we were moving along well.
Dale stated that at the next meeting he would submit a special
report on the development of the present shopping area in Gem Lake.
Shooping center competition is coming fast and certain recommendations
may be helpful.
The council and the planning committee are to submit any ideas or
suggestions to Dale as soon as they have a chanee to read the
"Guide Plan" anc3 study the "Maps".This should be done in the next
two weekd= T?Pmis thanked Dale and this part of the meeting was
closed.
LAKE AREA PLANNING COM. - Bemis reported that he had been asked at
the last meeting if Gem Lake was interested to annexing any part
of the area north of the Railroad tracks for industrial purposes
or otherwise.It was the opinion of the council that we were not
interested.
Bemis also enquired if Gem Lake was in any way directly interested
in the White Bear Lake Pollution problems. Our interest is only
secondary as few Gem Lakers, use White Bear Lake.
6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS - NONE
7. NEW BUSNNESS -
a. Moved by Hansen and seconded by Arcand that we approved the
`a supplemental contract with the Sheriff of Ramsey County for 24 hour
0 service at an additional cost of #338.23 per year and that the
Mayor and Clerk be authorized to sign the contract. All Ayes.
b. Moved by Arcand and seconded ,- Hansen that we order orle
set of the new Minnesota. Statutes at a cost of $40.00 - 4LG /V S,
c. Allen Hansen stated that he would be happy to attend th4
meeting of the Ramsey County League of Municipalities, because he
has a definite interest in the Storm Sewer situation.

FORTIETH METING - VILLAGE OF GEM LAKE COUNCIL
DECEMBER llth 1962 - HOFFMANS CORNERS HALL
FIRST HEAhING ON THE VILLAGE PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE - AFTER TWO
PUBLIC NOTICES IN THE WHITE BEAK FRESS AND SEPARATE NOTICES PLACED
IN EACH MAIL BOX BY THE MAYOR.
Mayor Hoffman opened the public hearing at 8:10 PM, by introducing
Judson Bemis Chairman of the Village Planning Committee to about 40
to 50 residents and mentioned that Howard Dahlgren of Midwest Planning
& Research was there to explain the details.
Bemis reviewed the history of the village plan, the reasons for having
a plan and the reasons for employing a professional planning group,
experienced in this particular type of work.He pointed out the nedd for
having a basic plan so that the village can be prepared to meet changes
and growth in the community as it developer. % e then turned the meet-
ing over to Howard Dahlgren.
Dahlgren came prepared with extra maps and an easel so that he could
explain and demonstrate what he was talking about. He mentioned the
procedure which had been followed, first a report on the conditions in
the village as they now exist, then a report made with the planning
committee on where the village wished to go and what kind of a village
the people wanted.He then explained that the Zoning Ordinance and the
Subdivision Regulations were the method by which the village could
ccntrol its future and follow the direction in ihIch it wanted to go.
He outlined the Zoning Districts xxdxkkx with the four residential
areas and three business areas, together with lot sizes,frontages,
set -backs, permitted uses and special uses. He laid great emphasis on
the fact that it was his understanding that this community was not seeking
industrial activity, and would therefore not have to consider the services
which would be required if it did, and that we could get along with
contract services for Fire and Police and did not have to worry about
sewer and water problems for many years
The residents followed his discussion with maps and zoning text which
they had been handed, and the only question raised was by Gil Foster
in connection with his Golf Course. Dahlgren approved highly of the
golf course 'nd only warned that some trouble had been experienced when
par 3 courses had expanded to include bars and restaurants. NK This
golf course will come under a special use permi# that can be granted by
the Council in R-1 sec. 7.3
Dahlgren finished his discourse ab out 9:15 and there was general
conversation for a few minutes.
The Mayor then explained to those present that White Bear City was
going ahead with its sewer plans and that the sewer would run down the
East side of the R.R.Tracks and a possible hook in might be made down
by Orcharc Lane, at an estimated cost of $30,000. He also pointed out that
if a branch line ran up Scheuneman Road that it might cost fro m �8.00
to $10,00 per front foot and might require bondissues, interest and more
taxes. The Mayor asked for a show of hands if anyone on Shheuneman Rd
might want a sever connection - the Vote was a unanimous NO, He also
mentioned that the merchants in the village might find it wise to get
a connection for themselves, which would not inv6lve the village.
The hearing was then ad j ou_ .._, -? .
