CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING, Land Holding Group 12th and Holly, Preliminary Plat Staff explained that there are still unresolved issues and information to be submitted related to the application. Therefore, staff recommends the application be continued until June 13, 2001. Mr. Lyden made a MOTION to continue the Land Holding Group preliminary plat public hearing to June 13, 2001, and was supported by Ms. Lane. Motion carried 6 -0. K. MN Correctional Facility, 7525 Fourth Avenue, Site Plan Review for Storage Building Staff presented the application by explaining the applicant, the Minnesota Correctional Facility, had submitted an application to construct a 40' by 72' pole barn with a footprint of 2,880 sf. for vehicle storage on its site. The building will be approximately 22' high and located outside of the prisoner compound but within a separate fence area. The City of Lino Lakes has no legal zoning jurisdiction over the State of Minnesota land. Therefore, the Department of Corrections is not obligated to submit this project for City review. However, the Depaitment has done so as a courtesy. Staff presented its analysis of the request, noting the fenced area where the building will be added is approximately 1,000 feet from the nearest property line. Staff explained that for information purposes, the Department of Corrections often delegates building code enforcement to the City through a special agreement. This allows the City to collect building permit fees to cover review and inspection costs. Staff anticipates this will occur for this building. It was noted that the applicant was not present.
