• <br />• <br />• <br />DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING <br />March 14, 1990 <br />issue you're in good shape. <br />The design review board received a new proposal written by <br />the Justice group. Ron Marier stated that it is basically <br />the same proposal that the Justice group presented in <br />January. <br />Ron Marier stated that they poled all the residents and they <br />want to go with this new proposal. The new proposal asks for <br />rezoning of 11% of the proposal initiated by the city. <br />A woman in the audience said that at the last meeting with <br />property owners and John Miller that he surprised them with a <br />new proposal. She said she feels misrepresented. <br />John Bergeson said that the board cannot make a decision on a <br />proposal that they just received tonight. <br />John Miller said that he has not yet heard why they are <br />opposed to the proposal. Rezones are not meant to be <br />popularity contests. <br />Ron Marier stated that one of the biggest reasons we are <br />against it is the way it was presented to us. <br />Harold Bisel discussed the issue with the members of the <br />audience and the board. He said he feels like we are in a <br />wrong start here. The whole thing got out of kilter. He <br />said look at Forest Lake's freeway corridor - commercial and <br />industrial, He said look at the freeway corridors going just <br />further south. It's the same thing. Commercial and <br />industrial. This is bound to happen to Lino Lakes. The land <br />proposed for rezoning is rural, it will not be disturbing <br />very many people, you will be able to farm your land, do what <br />you are doing now, until someone approaches you with an <br />offer, then only you decide if you want to sell your land. <br />The city is not pushing you at all. You people complain <br />about your taxes being too high. This is why we need <br />commercial and industrial development in the city. <br />Ms. Thiltgen said that she thinks the city and the residents <br />are talking about the same thing. She said that we needed to <br />meditate on this for a while and that it does make sense to <br />her now. <br />After a considerable amount of discussion a motion was made. <br />MOTION: Mr. King moved to table the proposed rezoning of the <br />I -35E corridor until citizens and staff can discuss this <br />further and come to an agreement. Monika Slatten seconded <br />the motion and the motion was approved unanimously. <br />Meeting adjourned at Midnight. <br />Page 15 <br />
