Tower Drive and Pinto Drive street improvements. He reported that the bond market is
not stable but to have the offering ready for the sale of bonds when the market changes.

Motion by Wilfred Scherer, seconded by Thomas Crosby to accept Kilkenny Drive as a
City Street.

and softener on a trial basis. He felt that the city should not go along with this.

before it goes into the main to dissolve the rust. Dave Hansing will look into this

(152)
Ervin Zwiefelhofer
Motion by Thomas Crosby, seconded by Wilfred Scherer to accept Mr. Zwiefelhofers request
to withdraw his variance, reason being if the assessory buildings are moved close together
enough they would be considered one building and no variance is needed. The Building
Inspector concurs with the Council considering this one building, with a building permit
to be taken out for the buildings moved in.
Motion declared carried.
Thomas and Nancy Malik
Attorney Earle Anderson representing the Maliks requested a variance for the barn set -back.
Mr. Anderson proposes that the addition was to an existing barn. The building permit
taken out in 1974 was for a garage. The permit taken out in August 1980 was for storage.
After much discussion, a motion was made by Thomas Crosby, seconded by Wilfred Scherer to
table the matter for his further investigation of the Ordinance and how this request
might meet their requirements.
Motion declared carried
Michael and Sandra Vrooman
Mrs. Vrooman appeared and asked to have her barn variance heard. She presented slides
and a diagram of the property. Council discussed the fact that they do have 10 acres
and are classified as a farm. Richard Schieffer agrees with the Building Inspector that
the existing location is probably the best site considering the land.
Motion by Thomas Crosby, seconded by Bill Reiser to table the matter for the same reason as
the Maliks.
Motion declared carried.
JoEllen Hurr will prepare a list of the existing barn problems in the City.
Woodlake Expansion
JoEllen Hurr reported on the expansion of the Woodlake Sanitary Landfill. She and Tom
Anderson have met with the P. C. A. and Metro Council about the short term and full ex-
pansion. Tom Anderson expressed concerns that they are today in violation of the City
Ordinance by their using land in a non -permitted area. The public notice and conditions
dated January 29, 1981 issued by the P. C. A. was discussed. JoEllen was instructed to
write a letter to the operator about his illegal expansion of the landfill operation.
JoEllen was instructed to verbally relay the following concerns to the Advisory Committee
(2-4-81) and Physical Development Committee (2-5-81) of the Met Council.
(1) No formal application for short term or full expansion has been made by
Woodlake to thy City of Medina.
(2) The short term and full expansion is contrary to the local Zoning Ordinance.
Expansion of a legal non -conforming use is not allowed. The City is concerned
about a time to cease operation and removing any fill illegally placed.
The City is hopefull of cooperation of all agencies that are part of this review.
