A presentati08'was made by Mr. Ron Schlief in regard to the
construction of apartment/s on what is referred to as the
"Zetterberg property." Mr. Schlief requested re-zoning and a
variance permit to allow for a 16-unit multi-family dwelling.
There was Planning Commission consensus that there is no pro-
blem in regard to lot and yard requirements - there is, how-
ever, a shortage in square feet of approximately 3,000 feet.
After discussion, a motion was made by J. W. Miller, seconded
by Jim Maus, to recommend to the City Council that the south
half of Block 11 - Lots 1,2,3,4 and 12, and Block 12, including
the present apartment property, be re-zoned from R-2 to R-3,
and that a variance permit be allowed to allow for the shortage
in square feet. Voting in favor: Maus, Miller, Topel, White.
Opposed: None. Absent: Muehlbauer, Stumpf, Worth. Motion
carried. (It was noted by the Commission that this is a
recommendation only as the Commission was aware that there
were not 5 members present to constitute a quorum).
A motion was made by J. W. Miller, seconded by J. Maus, to re-
commend to the City Council that a charge of $30.00 be est-
ablished to cover costs incurred when a request is made for a
zoning change. This charge to be paid by the property owner
or person requesting the change. Voting in favor: Maus, Miller,
Topel, White. Opposed: None. Absent: Muehlbauer, Stumpf,

Building Inspector position. Mr. Rasmussen expressed his
opposition to this proposal; Mr. Fredin stated there could be
some sharing of duties. In this regard, a motion was made by
Miller, seconded by White, to recommend to the City Council~_
that Axel Rasmussen be retained as the Building Inspector with
the understanding that Mr. Rasmussen will be available on a
full time, annual basis. Voting in favor: Maus, Miller,
Stumpf, White. Opposed: Topel. Absent: Muehlbauer, Worth.
Motion carried.
A motion was made by Topel, seconded by Miller, to double the
present building inspection fee schedule; the minimum building
inspection fee will be $10.00, the rate will increase to $2.00
per $1,000.00 valuation after $5,000.00 up to $500,000.00.
For any amount over $500,000.00, the rate will revert back to
$1.00 per $1,000.00.
.
A discussion was held in regard to a proposal submitted by
Mr. Tom Loucks of Brauer & Associates. Mr. Loucks had stated
that there would be a $25.00 per hour charge, plus mileage,
for attendance at city meetings. A total cost for a city pro-
gram would vary with the services desired. A community pro-
gram in regard to annexation problems could run up to $10,000.00.
In this regard, a motion was made by Maus, seconded by Topel,
to recommend to the City Council that Brauer & Associates
be engaged to resolve specific matters on a "when needed"
basis at a fee of $25.00 per hour, plus mileage. A project to
be considered for study is Plat Plan #4 - this would be re-
viewed by the Planning Commission and the Roads & Streets Comm.
with Mr. Loucks in attendance. Voting in favor: Maus, Miller,
Stumpf, Topel, White. Opposed: None. Absent: Muehlbauer,
Worth. Motion carried.
A motion to adjourn was made by Topel, seconded by Miller.
Carried. All in favor.
