1 , APPROVAL OF MINUTES - August 22 ,1968
MOVED by Christiansen , seconded by Swanson, carried unanimously to
approve the minutes of August 22 ,1968, as mailed .
2 . AIR POLLUTION ORDINANCE
Robert Nutchison , the Village Sanitarian, was present to answer
questions on the proposed air pollution ordinance . The Vilfiage
Rlanner explained to the Commissioners that approximately 50 copies
of this ordinance were sent to various manjfacturing concerns ,
businessmen, apartment owners , e�c . in the Village , Of these 50 ,
so far, only five have commented on the pollution ordinance, the
majority in favor, with one opposed. In addition, the thought was
stated that the individual home owner would be the most idfficult
to convince , as this ordinance would eventually prohibit all back-
yard burning , The Commissioners suggested that existing burning
regulations might solve most of the present burning problem if
enforced , so it was suggested that those sections of this proposed
ordinance dealing with the home owner be deleted. It was also
suggested that at such time as the Village decides to prohibit
backyard burning altogether, a suitable transition period be estab-
lished to ease the home owner into that situation. The Commission
then suggested that the Village Sanitarian, Village Planner, and
Village Attorney get together and draft a new ordinance excluding
the individual home owner and resubmit that ordinance when ready,
MOVED by Swedberg , seconded by Christiansen , unanimously carried ,
to table this item until the revised ordinance is ready to be
reviewed .
3 . POSSIBLE SCHOOL SITE , DIST . 281
The Village Planner informed the Commission that prelima�nary studies
are underway to select an elementary schoal site in District 281 .
There had been some indications that this new school might be located
in Golden Valley . The Commissioners did not wish to comment on any
proposed school site until certain pertinent questions are answered,
among them the following :
What site is under consideration in Golden Valley? How large is
it? How large a plant is being planned? Would this school be used
primarily for Golden Valley students?
MOVED by Franzen , seconded by Silverman , unanimously carried, to
request Dist. 281 authorities to send a representative to a subse-
quent Planning Commission meeting to answer the Cammissioner " s

of the Village . The Council has asked the Commission to draw up
