MN 55432 • (612) 783 -0300 October 21, 1998 City of Lino Lakes CIO Mary Kay Wyland & Planning Commission 1189 Main Street Lino Lakes, MN 55014 re: WEST SHADOW PONDS -- Neighborhood Meeting Results Dear Ms. Wyland and Planning Commission Members: Last evening, Mr. Richard Carlson (RC) and I met with neighbors to the proposed West Shadow Ponds subdivision, and we would like to share the input received in that meeting. 23 names were listed on the sign-in sheet including 7 from Colonial Woods subdivision, 14 from Birchwood Acres, and 2 (Arnold Rehbein and Wayne Junes) from 62nd Street. There was general support for the project, including the quality of the development, environmental concerns, park and trail interests, and traffic circulation planning, however a single issue -- safety on 62nd and on West Shadow Lake Drive (WSLD) -- was the dominant topic. Michael Guthmueller, 642 Fox Road, asked about covenants and if he could see a copy, and RC made a copy for him of Millers South Glen covenants (which should be similar.) Thomas Drow, 6317 Red Maple Lane, was concerned about drainage at the intersection of the proposed WSLD extension and 62nd Street, as it is presently a Low point of 62nd. I explained that drainage from the north side of the intersection would be conveyed to the ponds and wetlands north of the intersection, and 62nd would not be impacted. Norma Mayhew, 678 Fox Road, and Amy Ziolkowski, 686 Fox Road, asked if they could purchase some of Lot 1, Block 2 so they had pond access, and RC indicated that this was not possible. Then they asked if they could plant trees along the edge of Lot 1, Block 2 for screening, and RC said they could. Stan Zarambo, 6250 Red Maple Lane asked if street lights were required on corner lots. We did not know the answer, but indicated that we would check into it and let him know. In addition to these questions, there was general discussion on the following topics: 1. Could the street lights in the project match the lights in Birchwood Acres, could concrete driveways be required as they are along WSLD in Birchwood Acres, and will the covenants be recorded and enforceable, and RC indicated that, with City approval, all of these could, and would be done. • Residential & Commercial Development EXHIBIT E -1 Hydrology • Water Resources • Municipal
