Edna L. Sarner Clerk- Treasurer August 28, 1980 The Special Meeting of the Lino Lakes City Council was called to order at 8:00 P.M., on August 28, 1980 by Mayor Gourley. Council Members present; Elsenpeter, Kulasewicz, Jaworski. Absent; McLean. Mr. Schumacher was also present. The Public Hearing for Rezoning was called to order at 8:05 P.M. Mr. Brian Dobie had requested the Rezoning from R -1 to R -2, Tracts A & Q in his addition. Mr. Schumacher read the notice of publication. Mr. Schumacher reported this had been reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board at their Just meeting and that Board had recommended approval of this rezoning. Mr. Dobie said these Tots are on the market at the present time - he has no plans for the development of the area himself. He felt that double bungalows or du- plexs abutting Main Street would provide a good buffer for the single family re- sidential area to the North. Mr. Kulaszewicz asked why he had requested this zoning on those tracts and Mr. Dobie said this would make the property more attractive and provide a shield from the traffic on Main Street. Mr. Dobie repeated that he has no plans for develop- ing those oots - they are for sale. Mayor Gourley asked for comment from the audience and Mrs. Gottwaldt asked where these home would be constructed - would they have access to Main Street? Mr. Dobie said just the first two tracts of land on either side of Wood Duck Trail and that the homes would be constructed so as to face that street. Mrs. Gottwaldt asked what classification of home would be constructed? Would these be low cost housing? Mr. Dobie said that the Building Codes would have to be followed thus ensuring standard homes. Mr. Mike Ellefson - 620 Main Street - said they had a nice neighborhood and he asked if low income housing is coming in that area? Mayor Gourley said this rezoning is just for Tracts A & Q and only a duplex or double bungalow can be constructed on those parcels of land - not multi - family dwellings of any greater size. Mr. Jeff Jones - 8042 Wood Duck Trail objected to the rezoning - he felt that the construction of R -2 would depreciate his property. He felt this zoning would increase traffic and that rental property is usually neglected and ends up being a detriment to the neighborhood. Mr. Russ Krube - 8121 Wood Duck Trail - said he had no oblections to this rezoning.
