COUNCIL MINUTES October 22, 2018 <br />DRAFT <br />1 <br />CITY OF LINO LAKES 1 <br />MINUTES 2 <br /> 3 <br /> 4 <br />DATE : October 22, 2018 5 <br />TIME STARTED : 6:30 p.m. 6 <br />TIME ENDED : 7:35 p.m. 7 <br />MEMBERS PRESENT : Council Member Rafferty, Maher, 8 <br /> Manthey, Stoesz and Mayor Reinert 9 <br />MEMBERS ABSENT : 10 <br /> 11 <br />Staff members present: City Administrator Jeff Karlson; Community Development Director Michael 12 <br />Grochala; City Engineer Diane Hankee; City Planner Katie Larsen; Director of Public Safety John 13 <br />Swenson; and City Clerk Julie Bartell 14 <br /> 15 <br />PUBLIC COMMENT 16 <br /> 17 <br />Aaron and Shannon Kne, 111 Robinson Drive, informed the council of an issue with the driveway at 18 <br />their home. They have been cited for having driveway that is too large. The driveway is already 19 <br />installed; feel they are being punished for the contractor’s error without a good reason. The variance 20 <br />process is expensive and wouldn’t fully solve the problem. They are asking the council for advice on 21 <br />solving their problem. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Mayor Reinert noted his familiarity with the situation (has seen pictures). He recalled a council 24 <br />discussion during the past year on what is an appropriate driveway size (considering the popularity of 25 <br />larger garages). He believes that staff would not support a request for variance but, knowing about 26 <br />the specifics in this case, Mayor Reinert said he would. 27 <br /> 28 <br />The council discussed in general how non-compliance in driveway width is handled. 29 <br /> 30 <br />SETTING THE AGENDA 31 <br /> 32 <br />The agenda was approved as presented. 33 <br /> 34 <br />CONSENT AGENDA 35 <br /> 36 <br />Council Member Maher moved to approve the Consent Agenda, Items 1A through 1G, as presented. 37 <br />Council Member Rafferty seconded the motion. Motion carried on a unanimous voice vote. 38 <br /> 39 <br />ITEM ACTION 40 <br /> 41 <br />Consideration of Expenditures: 42 <br /> 43 <br />October 22, 2018 (Check No. 109054 – 44 <br />109141, $618,124.90) Approved 45
