COUNCIL MINUTES October 24, 2011 APPROVED 179 Jason Snyder, Jason's Bobby& Steve's Auto World, 7090 21St Avenue, noted this his parcel of 180 property was the first to be impacted by the project—it has cost him about sixty percent of his 181 business because people cannot get in or out. The assessment amount for him is minimal but he feels 182 like the problems are larger than just the amount of the assessment. He isn't certain that the people 183 of Lino Lakes understand that just 26 property owners are paying the entire cost to the city of this 184 project. He feels like his access problem has never been addressed fully and he is in a really tough 185 bind. There are many questions that need to be answered still and many of them impact his property. 186 Mr. Snyder asked Mr. Grochala if he still has the same property building rights as he did before the 187 improvements. He challenged the council and others to actually visit the site and see the actual lay 188 out; he just wants a situation that makes sense. When the Mayor asked staff about Mr. Snyder's 189 options, Mr. Grochala responded that regarding assessments, he has the same right of appeal. With 190 regard to access, Mr. Grochala said that the matter was deliberated for a long time and it was 191 impacted by such things as the AUAR and development interests for access in other areas that were a 192 part of the interchange design; the situation had to be negotiated with Anoka County and the 193 Minnesota Department of Transportation. The Mayor noted that even the right-out would be an 194 improvement. A council member noted that signage seems to be an immediate problem that should 195 be addressed but further and in the longer term the city needs to focus on bringing other businesses 196 into the area that will help bring in people to existing businesses. The Mayor recommended optimism 197 in the matter and asked that the matter be added to a future council work session (Council Member 198 Roeser concurred with adding the matter to the next work session agenda.) 199 200 There being no further speakers, the public hearing was closed at 7:33 p.m. 01 -202 City Attorney Squires noted that written objections have been received from: 203 - East Lino Lakes LLC signed by Myrna Rehbein; 204 - Assure Properties, signed by Richard Schrier; 205 - Eagle Brook Church, signed by Jerry Broker; 206 - Paul Miller; 207 - Rooney&Neilson, signed by Mr. Rooney and Gerald Rehbein. 208 209 Council Member O'Donnell moved to approve Resolution No. 11-108 as presented.
