Page -2- June 21, 1978 Mr. Pees asked if the City plans to install the platted street to the south of this plat. Mr. McLean told him to ask the City Attorney about the stattus of this street. Mr. R. J. Paulson Mr. Paulson presented a letter he has written to the City regarding his concern for drainage in the area of County Road #23 (Lake Drive) and #242 (Main Street). They are also concerned about a privacy barrier between the commercial areas and the residential areas. Mr. McLean explained that before any construction could commence in this area, all plans would have to be checked by the City Engineer and drainage would be a primary concern. He also said that he had heard that the Country Store will not be built in this area at this time. He said he would pass the letter on to the Council and thanked Mr. Paulson for coming. House Numbers - Arnold Kelling Mr. Kelling gave the background on the start of the numbering system in Lino Lakes. At the time that the Lexington, Lakeview Area was settled, the Town Board asked Mr. Kelling to set the house numbers since he was a postal employee and possibly could be helpful. Upon the ad- vice of the County Engineer he continued Ramsey County's house numbering system. The numbers started at 6000 at the south border of the City and there will be 400 numbers per mile (200 on each side of the street). There wasn't any numbering system to the west so he started the numbers at 0 on the western border and continued 400 numbers per mile going east. He enlisted the help of Elmer Kruger and numbered the entire City. Mr. McLean asked Mr. Kelling to outline some of the problem areas. He said County Road "J" is bad. New residents picked up numbers from across the street and they do not line up with the rest of the City's numbering system. Also the numbers start a 0 at Turtle Lake Road and go up to the east and to the west. After discussing other areas (Holly Drive, West Rondeau) it was decided to have the City Cl- erk, Chief Myhre, and Mr. Volk note problem numbering errors and give the notes to the Clerk. The Clerk was also asked to contact Mr. Gotwald for his comments or suggestions. Variance - Paul and Robert Keefe Mr. Keefe has requested a variance to build on a 5 acre piece of property that does not have any frontage on a City Street. The property is located at the end of Rolling Hills Drive. After discussing the condition of Rolling Hills Drive and whether it was a full City street, it was decided to contact the City Attorney to determine if Rolling Hills Drive is considered a full City street and if so, how much of a cul-de-sac would Mr. Keefe be required to install before a building permit could be issued. The Clerk will obtain this information. Mr. Shearen moved to recommend that this variance be denied until further information is avail- able. Mr. Hill seconded the motion. Motion declared passed. Mr. Gourley told Mr. Keefe that the Clerk would obtain the City Attornies opinion on the street and he would be placed on the July agenda. Shenandoah Mr. Berg and several other Shenandoah residents were in the audience. Mr. Berg asked the Planning and Zoning Board if there was anything the City could do to restrict the building in Shenandoah to houses with at least a double car garage. They objected to the 'matchboxes' being built without garages. They didn/t want to see the area turned into a housing project.
