The regular meeting of the Lino. Lakes Planningg& Zoning Board held on October 21, 1970 was called to order by Chairman McLean at 8:10 p.m. All members were present except Mr. Jester and Mr..Husnik. Mr. Karth moved to accept the Sept. 16 minutes as presented. Seconded by Mr. Kelling. Motion carried. Mr. McLean reported en the progress of the committee considering the new zoning classifications for Lino Lakes. Mr. McLean had met with Mr. Kelling, Mr. Karth, Mr. L'Allier and Mr. Van Housen and they had discussed zoning districts similar to those described by the Metropolitan Planning Commission. Mr. Van Housen is working on a preliminary ordinance and will have it drafted by early November to present to the committee. It will be presented to the Planning Board on November 18, after which they will have one month to study it and make revisions for possible approval on December 16. The ordinance will then be presented to the Council, hopefully to be approved by the end of 1970. Jim Hill reported he had not been able to get together with the committee on revising the building code. He would like to get together with Mr. McLean to discuss just how much the code should cover as our present code is very vague. Two new sign permit requests were presented to the Board. St. Joseph's Catholic Church would like a variance for a sign larger in size than the 24 sq. ft. allowed in the ordinance for church signs. The face size of St. Joseph's sign would be approximately 25.5 sq. ft. Churches are not charged a fee for their sign permits. Mr. Kelling moved to recommend to the Council that they grant sign permit #37 to St. Joseph's Catholic Church provided they reduce the size of the face of the sign to 24 sq. ft. as stated in our ordinance and that a legal geographical location of the sign be provided the Council. Seconded by Mr. Hill. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Ray Rehbein had presented a request for sign permit #38 for the Out Post Sport Center. The sign would be located at the southeast corner of Birch Street and Centerville Road. As the location is zoned agricultural, a special use permit would be required. The sign must be located 500' from any residence as required by ordinance. The sign would be 48 sq. ft. in size. Mr. Rehbein was advised to locate his sign at least 500' from any residence and present a legal description and a request for a special use permit on November 18. Ken Rehbein presented detailed plans for an apartment complex he plans to con- struct on Lake Drive behind his Real Estate Office. These plans had previously been presented to Engineer Gotwald and Planner Van Housen. Chairman McLean read portions of letters he had received from these men. Mr. Van Housen stated that the request was for rezoning from residential (major) and commercial (minor) to commercial for apartments. He stated that the plan requests approval for 3 units but only one was drawn out, thus requiring blanket zoning. (More plans have since been drawn.) Mr. Van Housen pointed out the ingress- egress road on Hwy. 8 creates a problem. Proposed topography and pro- posed landscaping should be detailed and the Village Engineer must approve the sewer system. Mr. Gotwald's letter stated that further information should be obtained on the storm water flow, number of wells and pumps, type and design of parking lot and road surfacing, private service road, and elevation and grade of land around buildings. The septic tank and drain field system would have to be approved by the Minnesota Department of Health. Mr. Gotwald and Mr. Van Housen will check other items in Ordinance 21.
