Chanhassen City Council Meeting, October 7, 1974 -2- Three members of the Excelsior - Deephaven League of Women Voters were present. Councilman Neveaux stated; "I would like to publically make an apology to Mr. Tom Klingelhutz. Two weeks ago the Council was discussing the Planning Commission minutes, specifically in regard to the Chamber of Commerce and the proposed Sign Ordinance. There were some statements made that evening, most of them by myself, in regard to the action of the Chamber Committee in not bringing forth a proposed revised Sign Ordinance. In talking with City Staff that evening the existence of that document was in a hazy area and as a result of staff input I made some statements that I regret. I find out now that Mr. Klingelhutz and the committee did put in considerable time and did come up with, although not a finalized ordinance, a document that warrants some action by the City. I am sorry Tom, that I said some of the things that I did that night and I do want to commend you for doing this work. I would hope that the Planning Commission at the earliest possible time will study this ordinance and come forth with a recommendation to the Council."

Both will be moving out around November 1. Mr. Rustman has not yet applied for a building permit to remodel the home to single family. Council members indicated their feelings on reducing the assessment. Councilman Bennyhoff - Yes, if that were converted to a single family home and if that was hooked up and one hook up was made for water and sewer as a single family home with no kitchen facilities downstairs and a stairwell installed. Councilman Hobbs - He was aware of a double assessment on the home when he purchased it and I can't see any reason right now for an assessment change. I would not be in favor of changing it. Councilman Kurvers - I feel the same as Councilman Hobbs. He bought it as a duplex. If he can show us throughout the year that he will convert it to a single family home I would have to reconsider but not at this time because at this time it is a duplex. Mayor.Klingelhutz At this time I don't feel I can say we can make it a single family home but if you can show definite proof that it will be a single family home by your building permit and other things as far as sewer and water hook ups I would reconsider the second assessment. Councilman Neveaux - I agree with the intent of your letter and the conditions that you say will change. I have not been shown the way you are going to do that. I tend to go along with the fact that it will improve 1 C Chanhassen City Council Minutes, October 7, 1974 -3- the neighborhood and I would like to see a single family home there.
