• When Mar Don Acres was platted in 1978, the northern 30 feet was included in an easement. This 30 feet was intended to be the southern half of a right of way for a road. The other half would be supplied when the land to the north was developed. (This became the Bluebill Ponds site.) The goal was to allow a continuation of the existing 79th St. The minutes from the P & Z meeting of March 8, 1978, state that the P & Z recommended: ...that the Mar Don Plat be approved subject to the requirement that the fee owner shall, after the filing of the plat execute a deed dedication to the City of Lino Lakes, of an easement for street and public utility purposes, on the north 30 feet of lots one through eight, both inclusive, Block one of said plat and that no building permits shall be issued until such deed is delivered to the City and accepted by the Council. The intent shall be that such street shall not be opened or /and unless and until further development demands the opening and use thereof and until the property owner to the north dedicates a 30 foot similar easement immediately north of and contiguous to said easement. Following the first review of Bluebill Ponds by P & Z in October 1999, several residents of Mar Don Acres informed us that they wanted the road built along the south border of Bluebill Ponds. They wanted the option of subdividing their lots, which requires the road to provide access. Staff held a neighborhood meeting on November 9, 1999 to discuss this issue. Residents along the alignment of the desired road were invited, including those in Mar Don Acres, Sherwood Green, and unplatted properties to the north (west of Bluebill Ponds). Based on this meeting and follow -up calls to residents who were not at the meeting, staff found that six of eight property owners in Mar Don Acres wanted the road. Residents in Sherwood Green and lots to the west of BlueBill Ponds did not want the road. Staff directed the developer to include a road on the plat. This is now Arlo Lane.
