- &- 7/31/7~ Wally: He suggested that ~all the building inspectors get togethe~'M' and he will sponsor the first one here at Grow. Bill Pittman is in favor of it. Eugene Voss, East Bethel: Is in favor of this. Ernie: It would be nice if all the building inspectors would get together so we could say "This ordinance is enforced in all the surrounding communities". We could have the same ordinances in all communities here tonight. Arnie Cox: We should try to come up v~th acceptable ordinances for all communities. Felegy: Many of the townships are requiring licensing and bond- ing on sewage system installers. We need lecensing in all the townships so they can stop the installers that are not doing their job. Voss: The County has come into East Bethel on this subject. The County wants it Countywide. Hutchinson: The County Health Department ordinance was recommen- ded in June of last year. It is good to provide a standard for outside sewer systems. Ramsey ordinance is good. The one they had before was not good. There is a mechanism in this ordinance whereby the community would agree to use the County ordinance and have their own inspector. Enforcement would mean the property cannot be used until it meets the code. Arnie Cox: Is the County more qualified to do this inspection? Felegy: They are asking local inspector's to do the inspecting. Dick Schneider: Grow is not going to 20 acres. It is not defin- itely settled yet. Some communities are having a moratorium on lot sizes until they get sort of caught up with residential plats. They are having a six month moratorium in Ham Lake while their community is having a comprehensive planner do their planning. Recess: 9:15 to 9:25 p.m. Dick Schneider: Grow is having a comprehensive plan developed. The planner recommends 20 acres. He is opposed to this because he feels this is making a number of small farms on one home lots. Skip Rither; Grow: He feels they have somewhere around 8000 people. Most development is in the south. Extension of services to scattered areas will be costly. Most of their development is on one acre lots. They need parks and have road complaints. He feels 20 acre lots in the north would slow settlement in that area. Arnie Cox: Ramsey has i acre lots south of Trott Brook and north of it is 2~ acres. No metes and bounds is used.
