<br />VILLAGE OF ELK RIVER COUNCIL MEETING <br />February 11, 1959 <br /> <br />A special meeting was held at the Village Hall on February 11, 1959 with all members present. <br /> <br />The purpose of the meeting was to consider the matter of the zoning ordinance. Those interested <br />were asked to attend. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Johnson. There were about fifty <br />people in attendance. <br /> <br />Some persons on North side of the track feel that there should be certain sections zoned a general <br />commercial district (C-2) instead of local commercial district (C-1) like the main businesses section <br />on side of the track. Ermil Hoffman was represented by attorney. Hadley of Anoka. He would like <br />to have certain district on new highway at Fourth Street zoned as commercial instead of residential. <br /> <br />The question was asked regarding the rebuilding of residence which are now in commercial areas <br />when the buildings were destroyed by fire or other causes. <br /> <br />Mr. Shattuck, zoning engineer was present and answered most of the questions. He will make some <br />changes in the commercial areas. This move satisfied at least part of the objections. <br /> <br />Mr. Shattuck said that the Council would have authority to appoint an appeal board of three people. <br />This board would consider cases where the property owner felt he was caused a hardship. <br /> <br />The Council felt that the regulation requiring a residence to have an a shed of 960 square feet should <br />by changed to 750 square feet. <br /> <br />Atty. John Mac Gibbon was present and answered some legal questions. One suggestion was that a <br />building code would be enough without zoning. However the Council believes that the zoning <br />should be continued. <br /> <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned. <br /> <br />H.A. Briggs <br />Village Clerk <br /> <br />
