CREPEAU PROPERTY -.Request for Detachment and Annexation
Attorney John Lee, representing Charles Crepeau, presented a request to
have the Crepeau property annexed to Excelsior because of the zoning
currently existing on his property and the proposed zoning under the
Comprehensive Plan.
Lee explained the reasons Mr. Crepeau has for asking for the annexation.
Under the current Conditional Use Plan, which the business is operating
under, Mr. Crepeau cannot alter his current use, expand, sell for other
commercial use, or even rebuild if the building was damaged extensively.
The city currently has no zoning that Mr. Crepeau's business can legally
operate under. They also feel because of the base this building is con-
structed on, (previous garbage dump), this property could not be used
for the purpose that it is currently zoned (R-4).
Council discussion regarding use and zoning possibilities followed.
Council did not want to release the property to Excelsior. Council also
felt that the request was a little premature because they had not been
notified of the problem previously. They then directed Mr. Crepeau to
the Planning Commission to request a new zoning category that his busi-
ness can operate under.
Haugen moved, seconded by Leonardo, to table and take no action in this
matter at this time. Motion carried unanimously.
Attorney Lee requested that the council take the action to propose re-
zoning, instead of Mr. Crepeau, because of the cost of the fees involved.
Moved by Rascop, seconded by Haugen, to direct the Planner to make a
report on this matter and present it to the Planning Commission for
review. Motion carried unanimously.
DEEPHAVEN - Hooper Lake Road Request
Bob Hedtke from Deephaven presented various proposals to eliminate heavy
traffic along residential streets - Vine Street and Hooper Lake Road.
Various locations were suggested for Cul-de-sacing or one-way streets.

Council concerns were for fire protection, school bus routes, and police
recommendations. Council directed Administrator Uhrhammer to contact
fire department, school bus company, and have the city Engineer and
Planner present alternative proposals. They would also like a statement
from Deephaven Council regarding this matter.
Shaw moved to table until these reports can be obtained.
