1 1 1 065 COUNCIL MEETING August 12, 1985 Page Two Mr. Johnson said he was a little disturbed about some of the articles that appeared in the local newspaper concerning criticism of the Lino Lakes Police Department. He explained he had been a Lino Lakes re- serve police officer and he had yet to meet a bad Lino Lakes or Circle - Lexington police officer. The Lino Lakes Police Department had pro- vided excellent service when he and his family needed it. He said if any citizen has a complaint they should contact Chief Campbell and not waste any more of the Council's time.___. Mayor Benson asked that the Police Department and White Bear Animal Control be notified of the dog problem in Mr. Johnson's neighborhood. CONSIDERATION OF A PRESENTATION BY GARY UHDE REGARDING LAKES ADDITION #3 Mr. Uhde representing G.M. Development and Regency Homes appeared be- fore the Council. He explained he had recently purchased over forty lots for Northern States Power Company and plans to develop them. For marketing purposes the area is now being called Reshoneau Estates. His proposal for developing this area will be considered by the Planning and Zoning Board on Wednesday evening. The Army Corp of Engineers has some concerns about the grading of ponds and they also may address de- velopment of the City owned Black Duck lots.

Written permits or notices will be required to obtain G.I. and FHA financing. Mayor Benson questioned where the ponds will be located.
