Is there any evidence that this is not to saleable item as a one family dwelling Mr . Roh1t; It could be. Mr .

(At this time extensive discussion was had. ) Mr. Kalinoff: I make a motion that we lay it over and think about it because I don 't like that building on such a narrow alley - 30 feet. Mr . Condon: Was your motion to lay it over or deny it? Mr. Carlson: We will deny it at this point. Mr. Kalinoff: Deny it because of lack of public access. Mr. Arndt: I would second the motion. Mr . Condon: All those in favor say aye. (All in favor. ) Mr. Condon: Opposed? (done opposed. ) Mr. Wihren: I move that we adjourn. Mr. Condon: All right. But I had one thing that ' s been bothering me and I 'm sure that this doesn 't please the members of the business community, but I have - I 'm getting literature from the Metropolitan Counsel and they talk about flood plain zoning and there are a lot of things that can be done. We have this problem in downtwon Stillwater of roughly from Main 'Street East and it floods and we have build two dikes in the last five years and I think that as the Planning Commission we ought to think bout this and see what we can do. Well in flood plain zoning you try to take care of that by your zoning. You can do a lot of things. You can specify the type of buildings that can be built there, for instance, right after the ' 65 flood Reeds built their drug store. They built it without a basement, with utilities at least above ground. That building is relatively flood proof. The bank built a building and they built - they have their furnace and all sorts of things down in their base- ment, and that is not flood proof, and I think we should think about, first of all; restricting the building down there so that we know that it' s going to be flood proof and I just think if we are planning we have to say, okay, the city is not going to build another dike, we are not going to build a dike every three years, now you guys are on notice that this is what has to be done, anybody that wants to build has to build this way and the rest of you take your chances. Maybe it' s not quite that blunt, but I think we should think about it. (At this time further discussion was had. ) Mr. Condon: We have a motion to adjourn. Mr. Carlson: I second. Mr. Condon: All those in favor. (All in favor. )
