• February 17, 1983 Task Force Page -2- set of conditions. When it was developed the City Council had sole discretion of where sewer would be installed. Now the conditions have changed. Is it possible to get sewer in anywhere by 1990? Mr. Short felt it was possible. The plan reflects the Tasks Force best guess. It does not reflect the sewer plan that was proposed a year or so ago. Mr. Weible asked on what basis were your assumptions. Mr. Short said it was based on the inquires received to date and the fact that present septics are failing and eventually it will be more practical to replace them with municipal sewer than repairing them. Mr. Weible asked if the ordinance will allow subdividing before sewer is completed? Mr. Johnson felt the City and property owner will have advance knowledge, of the sewer install- ation and felt the subdividing process might start then. Mr. Short said the City will not allow construction of a home before the sewer is installed. The City would not allow subdivision unless they are certain sewer is imminent. David Vickers - 6251 Laurene - Mr. Vickers felt that dense planning for north of the Rice Creek Bridge on Hodgson would force sewers up Hodgson Road. People in the areas south of the Bridge have already divided their lots as much as thex want and do not want to be forced to pay for sewer to service another area. Mr. Shor; ewers will not be forced into any area. Mr. Johnson felt that the plan for the southwest quadrant of the City with its five and ten acre minimum lot size was discouraging growth and discouraging sewers. Mrs. Murphy - Asked if an area has been designated for manufactured homes? Mr. Short said a manufactured homes district is described in the ordinance but no area has been III on the zoning map. He referred to the Shraeder proposal for the area accross from Northern Instruments. The Planning and Zoning Board had placed restrictions on his proposal and then he decided not to build in Lino Lakes. Jim Hill - 298 Elm Street - What % of the development area is designated commercial and what % is industrial. Mr. Short felt it was 5 to 7% of the development area for each commercial and industrial or a total of 10 - 12 %. Mr. Hill asked if this was a normal percentage? Mr. Short said the Task Force had re- searched surrounding communities and fell this percentage is less than any of the surr- ounding communities. Mike Musil - 6364 Hodgson Road - Will the people have a chance to vote on these proposals? Mr. Johnson said these are just informational meetings. Mr. Musil wanted to keep his comm- ercial zoning. Mr. Johnson said he should attend the Council meeting when this goes before the Council and the public hearings. Mr. Weible asked if the zoning map is part of the zoning ordinance? Mr. short said it would be adopted as part of the ordinance. Mrs. Murphy said she would like to see the proposed R -3 area planned for the SE corner of Birch Street and Hodgson Road zoned R -2. Mr. Short felt this R -3 would allow for app- roximately 60 units and felt it was a good use for this area.
