ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING NOVEMBER 29, 2000 <br />Council will want to know is "why." Smyser noted the City operates on a lean budget so <br />a list of very good reasons should accompany such a recommendation. <br />Chair Lanyon stated he would like the Council to be made aware of the fact that there are <br />areas in Lino Lakes that are environmentally valuable and should be preserved. <br />Asleson advised that the planning and land acquisition grant applications are due January <br />20, 2000. Ms. Sand noted it may not be fee title ownership but, rather, easement <br />acquisition. She stated it may be appropriate to talk with the land owner since the grant <br />may not be approved if the project does not have the support of the land owner. <br />Kukonen stated he believes there are many in the community who believe this area is <br />more important with its variety of plant life and wildlife than even the Wargo Nature <br />Center. <br />Asleson suggested a dialogue between the developer and land owner to determine the <br />intent of the developer. Ms. Sand reviewed her conversa ', *n with the developer and <br />stated the developer was provided with conservation e ent information. <br />Smyser suggested this topic be discussed at the n ounci E,,:. ksession to determine if <br />they will entertain the idea of purchasing this �3, =�" Co cil does not support a <br />purchase, it may not be prudent to continue the pr <br />Chair Lanyon noted the City's indication th to be a "green community" and <br />suggested there is no better way t save uch a site with endangered species. <br />Davidson suggested that repr ; -.� ta. { s o ` e Board attend the Council worksession. <br />Chair Lanyon and O'Co will plan to attend. Smyser stated that Asleson <br />will present this issue b cil. <br />B. Lino Lakes Population / Am 1 onlin — Donlin distributed a written statement on the <br />growth of Lino Lakes, noting it was 74% during the decade of the 1990s. At this rate of <br />increase, the population of Lino Lakes jumped from 8,807 in 1990 to 15,324 at the end of <br />the decade. She explained that to avoid surpassing the City's published goal of not <br />exceeding 20,500 by the year 2020, no more than 5,176 new residences can be added, or <br />an average of 257 newcomers per year for the next 20 years. She indicated support to <br />assure the population goal is not over reached. <br />Davidson stated she shares the concern for population growth. She noted the comment <br />indicating "city officials adopted another figure" may not accurately reflect what occurred <br />during the process of drafting the Comprehensive Plan, which has not yet been adopted. <br />Donlin stated the Board sees projects first and, thus, should say things first if it thinks <br />something is awry. Smyser updated the Board on the progress of the Comprehensive <br />Plan. He advised that this population data is well known by the staff and Council. <br />8 <br />• <br />
