The Commission addressed the need for a variance to place crushed granite in the City Park parking lot as opposed to blacktopping.

Ann stated that she had talked with Thore Meyer and Meyer had informed her that to the best of his knowledge, compaction tests had never been completed and that he could not attest to the fact that there are unstable soils in that particular location. The Commission questioned if compaction tests should be done. Ann stated that she didn't think there was money in the park budget for this type of expenditure and that if they wanted to require compaction tests, they should contact the Park Board.
