SEPTEMBER XXxX4XXXXX 17th, 1968 - Mayor Hoffman asked the
Clerk to make a correction to the effect that the gas line
for NSP runs north along the east side of scheuneman road.

approved as corrected. All ayes.
4. PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR -
5. REPORTS Or C0I�94ITTLES -
a. Chairman Bemis reported that he had not had time to get
a meeting of his committee because as usual Chyysler
wanted an answer quickly after submitting the request
at the last moment. Bemis recommended that the council
approved the request ( from the LeRoy Sign Co) as follow:
See letter from Leroy attached hereto and made a part of
these minutes -
Approve item#1 with 2 exceptions.
Approve item #2 as is.
Approve otem-#3 with hight limited to 15 feet
Approve item #4 with one exception.
Approve item #5 with hight limite;l_ to 15±k feet.
These exceptions match those granted to Tousley Ford and
appear in order - moved by Bigelow and seconded b# Morgm
that the Planning Committee recommendation be approved.
All ayes.
6. UNFINISHED BUM ESS -
a. Mayor Hoffman pointed out that we had no new information
on the sewer situation, but were in the process of gath-
ering together all the information that is available.
The clerk pointed out that with our form of government in
the Village the Council was all powerful and could make
decisions without consulting the residents. However the
rules do call for hearings on any major decisions and km
hearings will of cD urse be held. The clerk stated that he
would try to put all the pertinent facts on paper and
see that each roter got a copy BEFORE the hearings. R.
Hansen mentioned a referendum - though hearings are call -
for - do not know just what can be done about a referen-
dum or if one is called for.
So many stories have been passed around about the sewer
that the situation is thoroughly tangled up and must now
wait for clarification,
( one hundred and tenth meeting continued )
7. NEW BUSINESS -
a. In view of the fact that Chairman Bemis has had so
much difficulty in convening his committee it was
suggested that the planning committee be erlat'ged so
a quorum might be secured. The present committe is
three and it would seem that two might be added to
make a total of five. More than that might be difficult
to gather.
b. Miss Bigelow announced that the number of her new
house in her development is #3673 Big Fox Road.
6. ( Refer back) A (suggestion was made that perhaps we might
secure sewer fron the City of White Bear, if they put in
a new line down the R.R. tracks and that this might be
less costly than the VadnAis-Little Canada project. Allen
Hansen and Henry Hoffman offered to ask White Bear about
this. One difficulty is that the V-LC plan has been app-
roved by the METROPOLITAN COUNCIL and lines built large
enough to serve Gem lake and north and we are probably
stack with this plan.
7. a. Polls on election day must open at 7:00 AM
