July 20, 1977 - Page Three - limit as to when the interior streets would be built would be imposed. They were also concerned with the tax base on the land once it was platted. The men were told the City does not impose a completion date for interior streets, only that the street must be completed or some arrangement made with the Council before a building permit will be issued. On the matter of the tax base, they were told that the land is not revalued until some type on improvement is made on the land. Mr. Hill moved to recommend approval of this preliminary plat with the Planner's and Engineer's recommendations being followed, the EQC to be contacted and a letter from the Rice Creek Watershed Board be supplied prior to a public hearing. Seconded by Mr. Shearen. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Art Rehbein presented a request for a building permit on a parcel of land owned by Mrs.Edith Kammerer that only has access over a 30 foot ease- ment. The property has no frontage on an existing street. Mr. Gourley felt that Mr. Rehbein should document the date of recording of this parcel of land. He said if this land had been recorded before the Ordinance was passed, then he should apply for a variance to the frontage requirement. The System Statement as submitted by the Metropolitan Council was considered. Due to the fact of the special hearing called by the EQC and scheduled for July 28, 1977 at 7:00 P.M. here at the City Hall, Mr. McLean felt it very important that the issue of the open space suggested by the Metro Council for the Bald Eagle and Otter Lake area be discussed this evening. The EQC hearing deals with the plat of West Oaks of Bald Eagle and encompasses the land proposed for open space by the Metro Council. Mr. McLean felt the agreement worked out between the City and the Anoka County Board of Commissioners would relate to all points of the Chain of Lakes Parks. This should be done in an affirmative manner. On the subject of the Planned open space for Otter Lake and Bald Eagle, several statements are erroneous. The City of Lino Lakes has never been approached by either Ramsey County or the Metropolitan Open Space on this matter. Also, in the matter of use of the facility by the City, there has never been any considertion by this City for that land to be included in an open space program. The City's plans for park area and their uses by the City has never included that area. The Agreement with Anoka County will also relate to this area in that the establishement of the Chain of Lakes was a one time acquisition and no other lands within the City of Lino Lakes will be acquired for OPen Space. The City concurrs with Washington County's position to delete this suggested open space plan from the system statement. It was felt the suggestion from Washington County that the trail system be was arouted aroung the Southern end of the, lake and be contained entirely within good'Ramsey County/ It should also be, emphasized this City cannot afford the idea.services of the Metro Council - they are erroding our tax base. The Clerk; Planner and Engineer with meet and formulate a statement for Council consideration at the Monday night Counbil meeting. Mr. Gourley said he had been contacted by the resident on Glenview who wants to build a garage and questioned whether he had to stay 30' from his East side lot line. This is the center line in the lots in the Lakeview area
