�� / Tape 1 Page 3 Special 114eeting of the Villaoe Council, A4arch 31, 196g next to it, or very close t� it certainly could not have it denied on their point of it just because one other was or was not granted. Searles : Good points . hta�ror: I can ' t help think, Dick, that your thinking is prett,y good, l�e have such a problem with the lake , and we ' re getting into such a problem, that it really worried me a lot on the sewer business that we ' re faced wi�h in this Villa�e , and allthe other Villages around Lake i�linnetonka, and the t�rrific cost we ' re going to face in trying to correct t? e lake , They don ' t con�e out and say that this is the only, the whole thing. �1re know, and I think everybody kno�vs , that therc ' s a lost r:ore to the pollution of the lake than sewers going in or any o� the other things that Dick mentioned, but it is a big problem, it ' s a big money problem for �.nybody that ' s representing a villa�e on this area today. Searles : lt ' s a big ►:►oney problem for the fellows �i�l-�o have invested in mari.nas , too. They've got to have some assurance . �3ut thev are somewhat in the same position we are as a village , because just here in ' 63, we were assured by the I)epartment of Yublic Health that it ' s all right to set up a se�age plarit , that this is a substantial improvement over the old septic tanks and drainfields running into the 1ake , a.nd it �vas , But here we are six years later, being told that that ' s out , fell�.' , you can' t have a sewage plant draining into Lake �7innetonka. The countdown is starting now on all of these . In other vaords , things have changed. I guess we didn ' t change them, but tliere they are. I thinli in line �vith what you ' re saying, we could get ahead with so�ie of this , because some oY these facilities that are asking for licenses are �.sking on the sar.e basis of last year, and I don ' t think there ' s any reason to deny anybody the continuation of their license on the same basis as it �as issued last yea.r. And from that ��oint of view, I think maybe we coi�ld go down these that are on that basis , purely and simply, and take care of those , and then where there ' s some request for expansion, let ' s take more time and consider those . This all right? i4iayor: I don ' t think that the Council has any idea on cutting do�n what we had last year, especially not until we find out what this Conservation District does come up with. I think �ve ' d better have some better guidelines to go with, that ' s for sure . Stubbs : �'�e have S�tte ' s on the first one . . . . . I would move we hold to eight slips on Spates application. Searles : I 'd sec�nd that--just hold at eight.
