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
