238- 6 As has been our policy in the past, the City Parks will be maintained and improved upon in 1986. A major effort is now underway by the Park Board to obtain park property on the eastern portion of the City. Other possible plans for the parks will include tot lot equip- , ment to be installed'Lino and Arena Acres. Picnic tables, benches, bleachers and bird houses will be appearing through the year in all City parks. I would encourage all area residents to take advantage of our City parks. They are well maintained and include tennis courts, ball parks, picnic areas and children's play equipment. They are there for your use and enjoyment. BUILDING & ZONING DEPARTMENT In 1985, construction showed a steady increase in the area of commer- cial and residential development. The City of Lino Lakes issued a total of 268 building permits. This is up from 213 in 1934. We expect 1986 to equal or exceed 1985 due to favorable interest rates and numerous platted lots available in the City. These 268 building permits represent a total construction valuation of $9,615,223. 118 single family homes were constructed in the City in 1985. I would like to welcome these new families to our community. Construction was begun in 1985 on a new subdivision off Highway 49 known as Rice Lake Estates. This subdivision, to be completed by the summer of 1986, will include over 100 single family homes and a commercial convenience area. The City Council worked with Metro Waste Control Commission to extend sewer and water to this area of the City. The addition of this extension should serve as the spring- board for future development of that area. Also, future extension to the Lino Industrial Park and future shopping center plan. This will greatly enhance the services offered to our residents as well
