The first item of discussion was the Sontag plat: It was pointed out that there had been previous approval by the Planning Commission of the general plat layout. Sontag wanted the final approval, on 13 lots which is the maximum number of lots that can be served until there is an extension of the trunk sewer in the area. The plat is known as "Sontag's First Addition" and involves 13 lots on either side of Brittany Road north of 15th Street. Moved by Fluegel, seconded by Sieckert and unanimously carried: Approve Sontag's First Addition and recommend approval to the council. A1 Sieben stated that he plans to go ahead with his Four-plex at Eddy and 15th Street. Davidson noted that the structure size had been reduced to a building of 24 feet 8 inches by 68 feet. It is pre- sently zoned R-3. It also would be in an R-3 zone under the proposed zoning ordinance. Moved by Fischer, seconded by Moen and unanimously carried: approve building permit for Four-plex on this location. Zoning ordinance: A page by page review was made of the zoning ordinance as revised by the City Engineer and City Attorney. C-4 zoning: The City Engineer and City Attorney are to come up with the specifications for C-4 zoning. This shall include a provision that a C-4 zone n~st be adequately buffered from single families in residential areas by either high density use or by landscaping approved by the City Council. The next item was the Stoffel-Hy De Hy property on Highway 55. It was noted that the use presently made is technically industrial as opposed to commercial. Motion was made by Fischer, seconded by Bauer that the strip be zoned R-3 by the new ordinance and that the present uses be designated as non-conforming. On a voice vote the chair stated that he was in doubt. Further discussion ensued.

The various alternatives along with Stoffel's preferences would then be presented to the cOuncil at the second reading. There being no further business to come before themeeting, the same was upon motion duly made, seconded, and unanimously carried, adjourned.
