Mr. Bill Short, City Planner was also present. Mr. Johnson gave the background of how and why the Task Force was formed. Mr. Short summ- arized the background of Planning for the City of Lino Lakes and summarized the proposed zoning ordinance and zoning map. Paul Connoy - 6312 Baldwin Lake Road - Asked what were the limited businesses that could exist in the ER district? Mr. Short read the uses from the proposed ordinance. Sherry Thompson - 6125 Baldwin Lake Road - Can land be divided by special permit? Mr. Short explained existing lots of less than five acres will be grandfathered in but there will be no subdivision of less than five acres. Reinhard Alexejew - 6110 Baldwin Lake Road - Can certain areas of wetland be drained into the lakes and swamps for development?

Why was multi - family, commercial and industrial put in the center? Mr. Short explained that it was natural because Lake Drive is a major street with freeway access and this is the area where sewers are likely to be installed first. Mr. Weible said the area has already demonstrated it is not prepared for sewer. Mr. Weible asked when will the area that already has sewer reach capacity? Mr. Short explained the present capacity is 750 but could be revamped to a capacity of 1,400 conn- �ctions. This is projected to satisfy the need of that area.
