The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Board was called to order at 8:07 P.M., March 15, 1978 by Chairman Gourley. Members present: Gourley, Matt- son, Hill, Shearen, Schwankl. Members absent: Reinert. Mr. McLean, Council liason was not present. Mr. Hill moved to approve the minutes of the February 15, 1978 meeting. Mr. Mattson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Schwankl moved to approve the minutes of the March 8, 1978 meeting. Mr. Shearen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Lakes Addition #5 - Ken Erickson Mr. Erickson presented a preliminary plat of Lakes Addition #5. There are five lots and an outlot A. Mr. Gourley asked Mr. Erickson what he planned to do with Outlot A. Mr. Erickson said he would like to sell it to the person who purchases the lot directly north of it and realize some revenue. The street right - of -way at the southern end of lot #1 as platted does not coincide with the traveled area. It was decided not to do anything with this area. Mr. Hill moved to recommend to Council that Lakes Addition #5 be approved as shown on the preliminary plat with the stipulation that Outlot A is not a buildable lot and the right - of - way line on lot #1 be platted as traveled and subject to the Engin- eers and Planners recommendations being followed. Mr. Shearen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Variance - El Rehbein & Son Mr. Blackbird, representing El Rehbein & Son explained they are asking for this var- iance so they can record Parcel A as a separate piece of land as sold to the Wagners in 1969 but never recorded. There was discussion with Mr. Shearen noting that this lot was created before the Ordinance requiring 2Z acres was enacted and could not see that a variance was re- quired. However, it was noted that the County will not record an unplatted piece of land less that 22 acres. Mr. Shearen moved to forward this variance request to Council for action subject to Mr. Lochers recommendation. Mrs. Schwankl seconded the motion. Motion carried un- animously. Andy's Country Store - James Refrigeration Company Mr. Charles James presented a drawing of a proposed superette to be established at the intersection of Old #8 and Main Street. This Country Store will also contain a self-service gas facility. Mrs. Sewankl said she felt that this area is a perfect spot for a superette. How- ever with United Tire to the North and Luther's Sport Shop to the south she questioned the advisability of another gas service. Furlong at United Tire has stated they will not be under sold. Could it be worthwhile for this Company to install another fac- ility? Does this part of the City need another gas pump? Mr. Shearen said since the facility complies with the existing ordinances and zoning the competitiveness of the business has no bearing.
