June 8, 1976 A special meeting of the Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Board was called to order at 7:40 P.M. by Chairman Gourley. Members present; Kelling, Karth, Shearen. Council members present; McLean, Karth, Schneider, Zelinka and Mayor Bohjanen. Mr. James Barton and Mr. Lee Starr were representing the Planning and Advisory Board of the Metropolitan Council. Mr. Kelling moved to approve the minutes of the May 26, 1976 meeting as presented. Seconded by Mr. Karth. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Barton presented a more detailed outline of the steps to be takedVr by this City in conjunction with the installation of the Force Main Interceptor. He said the requirement for a minimum 10 acre lot is being looked into with a possibility of a revision in that area. Mr. Starr said the City must divided into urban areas and rural areas - one would define the area to be slii4444 by the intreceptor for the next 10 to 15 years. This would be the area of urban service and based on the current lot size requirement of 11,250 square feet per lot, this would result in 2.7 units per acre. Using this figure as a base, the urban service area would include acreage to be servied to a capacity of 700 units. Mr. Shearn# asked if the S,A,C, is to be reviewed and Mr. Barton said this is up to the City. He said the S.A.C. are only in areas designated as the urban service area. Mr. McLean asked about the people outside the area who have already paid the S.A.C. Mr. Barton said the Metropolitan Waste Control is working on this at this time but a decision has not been made at this time. Mr. Starr thought this matter should be decided within the next year. Mr. McLean asked if the matter of who pays the S.A.C. and who receives a refund shouldn't be part of this plan and Mr. Barton said this would be a good place to put it - when the sewer plan is redefined. Mr. Starr said the urban service area will have to be staged in development Certain areas will be served in the next 10 years and a portion will not receive service for 11 to 15 years. In the areas to be serviced within the next ten years, the City would not allow any plats unless there is sewer service.In the area to be served from 11 to 15 years homes with on-site septic systems could be allowed on lots with a minimum of one acre and restrict plats unless ss -eras are available. Mr. McLean asked about plats with a one acre minimum lot. Mr. Barton thought this would be in conflict with the planned staging in development. Mr. Starr said they are suggesting a moratorium on all building permits for the next six months in order to give the Planning and Zoning Board and the Council time to get the Ordinance revised without pressures for approval of plats before the new regulations take effect. There were several suggestions on this point, 1) to only restrict building in the area affected by the interceptor, 2) restrict all building, 3) allow some permits on a limited basis. Mr. Barton said this matter should be worked out with the Attorney.
