UTILITIES. ~Che matter of utili~es~ both w~thin the park itself~ and leading to it ~s ~scussed ~ detail ~ Mr~ Pe~acek a~d Mr~ Da~dson~ It appea s ter c0u d be 0bta ed either from alon Street or from ~e ~e at or near Ba~[e~ Street. ~e sub~co~ttee makes no reco~enda~on ~th re~erence to w~ch source is used as i~ would not appear to ~ect ~e ~terest of ~e Oity~ ~r. Pec~cek has ~.ca~ed ~t he wou[d~ il ~o~ ~ be feasib[e~ place the electric~ telephone, ~d gas co--scSi.ns ~dergro~d~ It is ~e feel~g of ~e sub-co--tree t~t ~s would Be ver~ desirable and ~ce ~e appear~ce of ~e area. H ~s iz not feasible however, it is ~e reeVE of ~e sub-co--tree $~t it shoed not Be ~de mandatory. Mr. l~ecbacek has originally indicated that he was consid~.,i:iag placing a septic system in the area to serve the area until the sewer trurak line along therai!road tracks is installed, It appears that this might not come about for several years andwe accordingly recommend that Mr, l~echacek be required to connect into the City sewer runninl~ along Bailey Street. Mr~ ,Davidson advised that this sewer is adequate to handle the proposed increase, It would appear that this would require a pump station and Mr. l~echacek is aware of this xequirement and is willing to install a pump station if required, to service the area. The question of surface drainage was also raised. Mr. Pechacek stated that he could make no definite statement at this time with reference to draln~ge as no profile maps had been prepared. However~ we received his assurance ~-h~t no ~if¢icuity in this area was anticipated and he would resolve any question which was raised. It should be brought to the attention of the l~lan~i,~g Commission that the State of Minnesota prescribes some rather stringent requirements which must be met by an}one operating a trailer park. The operator must receive an annual license from the State Department of Health. The applicant for the must meet State requirements dealing with disposal facilities, laundry £acilitiea~- water supply~ waste disposal, fire protection, lot size, domestic animal etc. The question of the proposed playground area as indicated on the sketch provided by Mr. l~echacek was also discussed. It should be noted that the pa~k owner will retain title to .ail of the real estate. The lots are not sold to the persons occupying the lots. Hence, the sketch is not a ~plat, as the te~-~ is used in connection with the real estate developments, Accordingly~ the ordirm,~ce requiring that a percentage of the area be dedicated for park uses appeared inapplicable. However, we advised Mr, Pechacek that we wouid insist that areas equal to the area indiCated on the sketch as playground area would in fact have to be reserved for'that use. He mentioned that he'might wish to ch~ge the location of the playground area after topographic studies were made,~ buthe assured us that the indicated amount of space w~uld be reserved for that purpose. The matter of the increased traffic flow on adjacent streets was discussed. It is noted that the area serving the trailer park will be princi~;.~1ly residential streets. However~ it was not felt ih~tt the increased tra/fic flow anticipated would present a problem Of substance.
