Mr. Johnson requested the Council consider modifying that district shape to make it a little wider east to west, possibly to the 21st Street alignment. He noted that 21st Street will provide the sewer and water utilities for Mr. Rehbein's property. Scott Featherstone, 631 Andall Street, stated he lives in an area called Arena Acres and heard some of his neighbors voice their concern at the last meeting. He stated that when he becomes aware of potential developments within Lino Lakes, he asks himself two questions: What's this area going to look like two years from now? And, how is he going to avoid it. Mr. Featherstone stated he had these same questions when he heard of the Kohls/Target project. Mr. Featherstone stated he knew when he purchased his property 20 years ago that a road would go through the south section and that the 80 acres would be developed in some fashion or other. He urged the Council to consider three aspects: simplicity, moderation, and truthfulness. Mr. Featherstone suggested the Plan needs to be simple to understand to stration and loss of interest.

He Art Hawkins, 6102 Centerville Road, read a prepared statement regarding the goal of 147 new units per year and a maximum population of 20,500 to the year 2020. He also quoted several articles from The Quad newspaper. Mr. Hawkins stated he believes there is a discrepancy between these goals and the table entitled "Lino Lakes Demographic Goals" as depicted on Page 65 of the Comprehensive Plan. He pointed out it shows the population for the year 2000 to be 14,540, not the official census figure of 16,791. He noted that at 147 units per year, the population would reach the 20,500 limit by the year 2006. Should that occur, he asked what would happen for the next 14 years until the year 2020. Or, if the City grows at the prescribed rate of 147 units per year, the population would reach 26,500 by the year 2020. Mr. Hawkins suggested that the Plan, as written, is not ready to go anywhere except back to the drawing board. 3
