Planning & Zoning Board December 10, 1997 Page 16 Ms. Turner suggested development by Lino Lakes of its own Bed - and - Breakfast ordinance, based upon her project. She enthusiastically explained numerous benefits to having such a place in Lino Lakes, expressing hope that the Planning & Zoning Board will assist in providing flexibility to accomplish this project. Mr. Johnson asked about the specific layout of the barn structure. Ms. Turner explained that eight bedrooms would be housed within the upper level (loft) of the large barn, the lower level containing a kitchen and eating place, and the small barn being used as a meeting place. Mr. Robinson pointed out problems such as splitting off a section of property which would be in violation of City Ordinance.

Mr. Brixius agreed that consideration would have to be given to overall future planning for the district.

Mr. Robinson asked about permits required to move and store the larger barn. Ms. Turner had not yet been able to obtain this information. Mr. Herr asked why Ms. Turner wishes to operate the Bed - and - Breakfast as non - profit. Ms. Turner explained that this aspect of her project is based upon financial considerations, as well as to maintain the specific land use for perpetuity.
