Mr. Hansen, first on the agenda, was not present. Mrs. LuAnne Kelly's application for a special use permit to operate a beauty shop in her home was considered. Mrs. Kelly presented a petition with signatures of the surrounding property owners. Mrs. Kelly's home is located on six acres of land on West Rondeau Lake Road and there are separate driveways for the home and for the shop. She said she is the only operator so there could never be more than three cars there at any one time. Mr. Kelly has operated a shop on 81st Street but has moved to the new location. After some discussion, Mr. Reinert moved to approve the special use permit. Seconded by Mrs. Schwankl. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Gordon Danks, who owns property on Section one that is cut by 20th Avenue North had asked if the small parcel on the South side of the street is a buildable lot. Each member has a copy of the section showing this parcel. The Clerk had called the County and had the acreage computed and,depending on where the south line starts, there is either 2.7 acrea or 2 acres. The general consensus of the Board was that Mr. Danks would need a variance for a parcel of less than 2 acres. He should have the land surveyd for accurate acreage and correct legal and submit a request for a variance. The Clerk is to call him with this information. Mr. Hansen had arrived and the preliminary plat for Otter Lake Hills was considered. The Board suggested the original plat south along the Lake also be included in this overall plat. The lots in this original portion do not have the required 150' frontage. There was a suggestion of possibly combining three lots to make two or combining two lots into one. Mr. Hansen said there has not`been a decision on just how this is to be handled. January 19, 1977 - Rage Two - Mr. Gotwald explained that some consideration was being giv6n to giving all residents of the area access to the channel that leads into Otter Lake. There has not been a decision as to who or how this will be maintained and kept open. It was felt this stipulation will have to filed with the deeds. Mr. Hansen said there will be a phase one plat and a phase two plat. The land abutting the oounty road will be developed first, then the interior lots platted and developed. There was discussion on the advisability of making two plats. Mr. Hansen felt the taxes would be too high if the lots are all platted at the same time. He was informed that values cannot be changed on platted land for three years and if the lots are landlocked, the value isn't there to put on the land. If the streets are put in and the lots developed, then the value is put on the lots. It was thought it might be less costly to plat the land in its entirety. Mr. Gotwald felt this is the proper method of platting this land. Mr. Hill asked if there had been any consideration on the park requirement - would there be land or money? Mr. Hansen said this had not been discussed at this point. Mr. Hill asked if all the lots would have access to the Lake? Mr. Hansen said there had been discussion of land bordering the channel to be left as common land, but not as a public park. Mr. Nadeau said there would be public interest in gaining access to the lake. Mr. McLean reminded him there is access through Ramsey County Open Space on the South end of the lake. There was also discussion on a parcel of land just West of the first house on Otter Lake Road - this parcel should also be included in the plat. Mr. Nadeau questioned the County's requirement as to the right-of-way. Mr. Gotwald said a copy has been sent to the County. The suggested changes will be incoorper- ated into the plat and Mr. Hansen asked to be put on the February agenda. NothNorthEast Realty had applied for two variance to parcels Of land located North of Main street along Highway #8. This land had been split in 1965, but the deeds were not recorded. The question of where the lot lines are was discussed. The placement of the pins is a necessary action to be taken. After some discussion on the application for the variance, the Board felt this should be sent back to NorthNorthEast Realty for clairfication. Mr. Myers, representing Drovers State Bank and Mr. Kronholm presented a preliminary plat for the four unit town house located on the West side of the Lake. The only problem found with the plat was the lack of 150' frontage on West Shadow Lake Drive. Mr. Kronholm said there is no problem of re- aligning the front line. They will redesign the lot and return. Mr. Kronholm asked to be put on the February agenda. Mr. Gotwald, Mr. Short, Mr. Gotwald, and Mr. Locher presented the package to be submitted to the Council for review before being presented to the Metro Council for their review. This package dealt with the Resolution passed by the City Council in conjunc- tion with the installation of the Lino Lakes Intercepter. Mr. Locher reported the extension requested had been granted. Mr. Gotwald presented maps designating the rural and urban service areas, and the staged development in these areas. He said this is geared to the Comprehensive Land Use plan as an amendment to be presented to the Metropolitan &age Three - January 19, 1977 as such. Mr. Gotwald had also redesigned some of the sewer lines in the South West corner of the City. He felt this realignement and redesign would serve as an interium Comprehensive Sewer Plan. The soils use ordinance was discussed as was the map. Me. Locher presented an amendment to Ordinance No. 53 governing the monitoring of septic systems. The entire package was reviewed and discussed. Mr. Hill moved to recommend to the Council to review this material relating to the Metropolitan and Lino Lakes interest in the Lino Lakes Interceptor and if there are no objections, to forward to the Metropolitan Council for their review. The Planning and Zoning Board would further recommend that none of this material be adopted at this time. Seconded by Mr. Shearen. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Nadeau moved to adjourn at 11:45 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Reinert. Aye
