OPEN MIKE
A. Mary Hauser, Metropolitan Council Representative - Ms. Hauser
appeared before the Council and explained she did not come with
a presentation but would rather answer questions from the Council.
She did explain that Metropolitan Council is updating its frame-
work and preparing forecasts that at present indicate that there
will not be significant growth in the metro area. Currently the
state legislature is considering making Metro Council more of a
planning entity and taking away some of its operational powers.
Mayor Benson pointed out his concern regarding developers who
are asking that areas just outside the MUSA line be developed
with municipal facilities. Ms. Hauser explained that the Metro-
politan Council still would like to hold to a four per forty acre
density. The Council prefers development in a planned manner.
It would be more advantageous to have adjoining areas developed
rather than leap frog.
Mr. Schumacher noted that several years ago the Metropolitan
Council published a brief summary of happenings with Metropolitan
Council entitled "Brief" or something in that line. This publi-
cation has been discontinued making it difficult to determine
what is happening at Metro. Ms. Hauser suggested that the "Metro
Monitor" could help in this area.

Mr. Marier asked if Ms. Hauser was aware of any funds being
awarded for -anything in Lino Lakes. Ms. Hauser said money has
been allocated for the Chain of Lakes Park but was not aware
•of•the dollar amount.' She told Mr. Marier she will find out
the amount..
Mayor Benson noted the City is currently updating its Compre-
hensive Lanka Use Plan: This process is difficult because the
City is not aware of Metropolitan Councils intent for the next
four or five years. He asked if there were individuals who
could. aid the City in this area. Ms. Hauser said there are
people in the Comprehensive Plan. Amendment Department who
would be helpful.. Mr. 4Jim Shetler.will be attending the next
Comprehensive Plan Update Meeting.
Mr. Reinert asked if the Metropolitan Council has developed a
grant and /or loan program for solid waste management and re
cycling. Ms. Hauser explained that such a program is being
developed for abatement .programs. Municipalities are eligible
for participation in this program. . However, this program ad-
dresses abatement.not how waste is collected.
Mr. Schumacher explained that Lino Lakes staff is currently
developing a compost program and the staff has attended the
Metropolitan Council area seminars dealing with waste abatement.
Mayor Benson thanked Ms. Hauser for attending this evening.
He explained to her that the City is developing an Economic
" Development Program and may peed guidance from Metropolitan
Council in this area.

PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDERATION OF SHOREVIEW SEWER RATE INCREASE
The public hearing was called to order at 7:35 P.M. by Mayor
Benson. Mr. Schumacher explained the users on this system are
charged according to the Shoreview rates and again this year
Shoreview has raised its rates approximately 2%. The proposal
is to pass the Shoreview rate increase to the users, thereby
increasing their rates 2%:
Mrs. Apitz, owner of J & K Liquors, questioned why she is paying
a commercial rate when she is not required to provide restroom
facilities for the public. Mr. Schumacher explained the rate
she is being charged was determined by the Shoreview engineer.
Mr. Marier directed the City Administrator to contact Shoreview
and ask them to inspect Mrs. Apitz' facility and ask for a re-
classification.
Mr. Marier moved to close the public hearing at 7:39 P.M. Mr.
Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Marier moved to approve the increase in sewer rates as in-
dicated in a memorandum to the Council dated February, 1986 and
subject to checking Mrs. Apitz' rates with Shoreview. Mr. Boh-
janen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING - 4TH AVENUE INFORMATIONAL HEARING
Mayor Benson opened the public hearing at 7:40 P.M. Mr. John
Davidson gave the background on why this area is being consi-
dered for improvement. Mr. Toddie explained the improvements
consist of managing the drainage of the area between Main Street
and Lilac Street and upgrading 4th Avenue to MSA standards.
Mr. Paul Ruud, Anoka County Engineer, explained the County is
proposing to improve Main Street during the summer of 1986 and
will be using some of the facilities of this project.
Mr. Andy Cardinal explained he is a manager on the Rice Creek
Watershed District Board (RCWD) and the District is interested
in working with the City and the County to provide a decent
drainage for this area.
Mr. Marvin Tews - 7919 4th Avenue. Mr. Tews said it appeared
to him that the plan as presented will bring all the water into
his land. He noted County Ditch #22 was not operational.

Mr. Neal Benjamin - 466 Main Street. Mr. Benjamin noted that
if the ditch is not adequate to handle the incoming flow, the
water will backflow to the east. Mr. Toddie explained drainage
patterns will not be changed. However, Ditch #22 will be ade-
quately cleaned and maintained.
Mr. Neil Toenjes 7810 Lois Lane asked about the holding pond
on th'e south end of Sherwood Green. Mr. Toddie explained it
would overflow into the 4th Avenue ditch.
Mr. Clayton Wendt - 391 Thomas Street. Mr. Wendt asked where
the breaking point was between the north and south flow, are
there elevations? Mr. Toddie pointed out the area on his map
and told Mr. Wendt he could get elevations after this hearing.
Mrs. Shirley Wise - 7999 4th Avenue. Mrs. Wise asked what
exactly the City was doing. Mr. Toddie explained this was a
plan for controlled drainage.
Pat Antinozzi - 7969 Lois Lane - asked why not drain both the
north and south pond on Sherwood Green. Mr. Toddie explained
this would be very expensive.
Mr. Stan Wise - 7770 4th Avenue - Mr. Wise asked how deep the
ditch would be near the south pond in Sherwood Green. Mr. Toddie
explained 4i to 5 feet from the centerline of the road. Mr. Wise
asked who would be responsible for the trees that need to be re-
moved. It was explained the City would have to negotiate an ad-
ditional 17 foot right -of -way in the area where he lives.
Mr. John Guse - 399 Thomas Street asked about drainage down Thomas
Street. Mr. Toddie explained.
Mrs. Suzanne Wise - 7999 4th Avenue asked what is going to happen
in front of her house. Mr. Toddie explained the street will be
lowered to provide better drainage, curb, gutter and storm sewer
will be installed as well as the urban section street. Her trees
should not be affected.
Mr. John LeBlond - 7865 4th Avenue noted the area that is proposed
to contain the large drainage pipe on his property is all low land.
Will this installation increase his water problem. Mr. Toddie
said, no. Mr. LeBlond could tie into this pipe to provide more
drainage for his property.
There was a question on how water from Lois Lane would get anywhere.
Mr. Davidson explained the catch basins will have to be relocated
and this is the responsibility of the developer of Sherwood Green.

Mrs. Julie LeBlond - 7865 4th Avenue asked if costs can be
discussed tonight as well as methods of payment for this im-
provement. Mayor Benson explained that the plans have not
yet progressed that far. Costs are still being determined as
well as how much Anoka County and RCWD will share in these
costs.
Mr. Donald Shackle - 7961' 4th Avenue told the Council he has
some ponds on his property and when they get high they drain
south. Mr. Toddie explained that RCWD has looked at the ponds
and has determined that they are beyond the limits of this pro-
ject.
Mr. Pete Willenbring, Engineer for the RCWD, explained that he
has completed a capacity analysis of Ditch #22 and has deter-
mined that the ditch would be inadequate to handle the proposed
project. He noted that the RCWD would be willing to respond to
petitions for a repair and improvement project.
Mr. Willenbring further explained the history of the Ditch and
told the Council the Ditch actually belongs to the people who
originally constructed it.
Mr. David Allen - 7830 Lois Lane asked how do you determine
who is benefited by this project. Mr. Willenbring explained
it is the RCWD theory that an improvement to the ditch is
necessary to effectively drain the area. A study would be
made to determine who is benefitted.
Mayor Benson was asked if the City has petitioned RCWD to im-
prove Ditch #22. Mayor Benson explained the City has not yet
petitioned because the City is not sure how RCWD is viewing the
project. Mr. Willenbring said the RCWD has done some calculations
on the ditch to determine what capacity is needed. By using in-
formation supplied by the City Engineers it was determined the
Ditch would require a capacity of 80 to 90 cubic feet per second
(CFS). In its present condition it can handle approximately five
to eight CFS.
Mr. Willenbring said the RCWD has some very limited funds avail-
able to clean out obstructions. However, the RCWD has determined
just cleaning out the obstructions or even returning the ditch
to its original configuration will not provide the needed capacity.
The RCWD has determined a petition for improvement is required.
Mayor Benson asked if some of the waterways maintenance funds
could be used in this area. Mr. Willenbring explained Lino
Lakes has contributed under $4,000 in the last ten years to this
fund and that much alone has already been expended for the studies
conducted on Ditch #22.

Mr. Marier asked Mr. Willenbring if he has checked with other
governments to be sure of the figures he was quoting. Mr.
Willenbring said he was positive of his figures. Mr. Marier
also said that RCWD has taken the responsibility for ditch
maintenance away from Anoka County and does levy ditch main-
tenance funds from Lino Lakes residents. Presently maintenance
is required on Ditch #22 and he is askineRCWD to take the re-
sponsibility of maintaining the ditch and then the City can
determine what additional flowage is necessary.
Mr. Petrangelo explained that the RCWD is an administrative
board and gave details on how it collects $15,000.00 a year to
maintain 122 miles of ditches in various municipalities. He
also explained that RCWD has used some of these maintenance
funds to review the problem in the area of Ditch #22 and have
made a determination on how the problem can be rectified. Mr.
Petrangelo said he would go on record to support a partial cost
of the repair of this ditch once the final cost is determined.
The RCWD is interested in getting the drainage problem solved
and Mr. Petrangelo also wanted it known this would not be a
cheap project. He also indicated the petition for improvement
could come from either the affected property owners or the City
Council. Once the petition is received, the final cost will be
determined. At this point RCWD has not received a formal pe-
tition. Mr. Schumacher outlined what had happened regarding
petitions and resolutions to this point.
Mr. Reinert asked if the RCWD receives a petition and determines
the cost of the project do they. then assess the property owners?
Mr. Willenbring explained that is the case, the RCWD would re-
ceive the petition, determine the cost of the improvement, conduct
a study to determine who the benefited property owners are, call
a public hearing, determine what the County will pay and what
the RCWD will pay, and if there is a balance then this could be
assessed to the property owners.
Mayor Benson asked Mr. Petrangelo if he could give an estimate of
how much the RCWD could commit to. Mr. Petrangelo said he felt
it would probably be more than a tenth, probably even one - fourth.
A gentleman asked for a cost estimate for improving Ditch #22.
Mr. Petrangelo said they only have very preliminary information
at this point, but this information would be available in plenty
of time.
Mr. Alan Robinson who owns the sod farm north of Main Street
told the Council his family cleaned the entire length of Ditch
#22 from Main Street to 35W in 1951 for a cost just over $20,000.00.
The ditch next to Mr. Tews was not cleaned at that time. Mr.
Robinson said today this project would cost probably 50 times this

figure. Mr. Willenbring gave some cost estimates based on
water flow but indicated these were very preliminary figures.
A gentleman from the audience asked what the CFS figures indi-
cate. Mr. Davidson explained.
Mr. Marier moved to close' the public hearing at 8:57 P.M. Mr.
Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
The Council took a twenty minute break so additional questions
could be asnwered by the engineers.
PUBLIC HEARING - PRELIMINARY PLAT - UL!JER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY -
REZONE. ORDINANCE NOS 86 -01
Mayor Benson opened the public hearing at 9:20 P.M.
Mr. Kluegel explained this is a replat of the existing Ulmers
Rice Lake Addition III and a rezone from Expansion Residential
(ER) to R -1. Mr. Ulmer is proposing to build one hundred seven
single family homes to be serviced by municipal sewer and water.
The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan
and is within the MUSA area. The park dedication was paid when
the area was platted as Ulmers Rice Lake Addition III. The
Planning and Zoning Board have recommended approval subject to
obtaining the necessary RCWD and Department of Natural Resources
permits and deeds for the required street right -of -way. The
Planning and Zoning Board's basis of approval is that the pre-
liminary plat complies with the subdivision design standards and
conforms to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
Mrs. Cheryl Nelson of 7073 Rice Lake Drive indicated her lot is
of the lots that will be required to give a 30' roadway ease-
on the back of her lot to Ulmer Construction if a full width
t >�r et is to be constructed. She is concerned because if she
gives the easement the balance of her lot will not be large enough
to subdivide. She is also concerned with who will pay the assess-
ment across the back of her lot as well as the connection charges.
Mr. Toddie explained it was up to the developer to provide an
adequate street right -of -way. Mr. Ulmer said it was his position
that it is the City's responsibility to negotiate the right -of -way
since the City has the ultimate right to eminent domain. He noted
moving the street is not an alternative because he would loose
some lots and that would make the plat too expensive to market.
Mr. Ulmer said he would be willing to pay for the installation
of the street in exchange for the right -of -way.

Mr. Schumacher asked Mr. Ulmer if he had contacted any of the
property owners. Mr. Ulmer said he had not done this, he be-
lieves the City should do this.
Mr. Paul Haider said no one has asked the lot owners if they wish
to give the right -of -way easement. Mrs. Nelson said there would
be problems if some owners wanted to give the right -of -way and
some others did not. She also asked what would the Council's
attitude be if the lot owners gave the right -of -way and then at
some time in the future decide to divide their lots. Would the
Council give variances to lot sizes since their lots would be
substandard. Mayor Benson said he could not speak for future
Councils but did note that lot size requirements could change
during the interim.
Mayor Benson asked Mr. Ulmer why he did not reserve the right -of -way
prior to selling the lots. Mr. Ulmer said he had not planned on
completing the street.
Mr. Bohjanen moved to close the public hearing at 9:40 P.M. M
Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Kluegel explained that although the Planning and Zoning Board
did recommend approval of the preliminary plat subject to obtain-
ing the proper right -of -way easements, they did not address the
issue of how to obtain the right -of -way easement. He also noted
that an EAW is not required for this plat.
Mr. Bisel moved to approve the Preliminary Plat based upon the
Planning and Zoning Board's recommendations and based on the
reason that the plat complies to the subdivision regulations.
Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion.
Mr. Hawkins told the Council they should clarify the street ease-
ment issue prior to accepting the Preliminary Plat since resolving
this issue could be costly to the City.
Mr. Ulmer said he would not negotiate easements and would develop
the Ulmers Rice Lake Addition III as now platted. Mayor Benson
explained that the lot owners will have to make a decision because
if they do not grant the easement they cannot resubdivide their lots.
Mr. Bisel withdrew his motion and Mr. Bohjanen withdrew his second
for the motion.
Mayor Benson asked Mr. Ulmer to talk to the seven lot owners who
would be required to give the right -of -way. Mr. Ulmer asked how

long would it be before Council approved the plans and speci-
fications. Mayor Benson said they could be approved at the
next Council Meeting.
Mr. Bohjanen moved to table this item until the next Council
Meeting to allow Mr. Ulmer time to contact the seven lot owners
to obtain street right -of-way easements. Mr. Marier seconded
the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

PLANNING AND ZONING REPORT - PETER KLUEGEL
A. Conditional Use Permit Advertising Billboard Sign - Schubert
Outdoor Advertising, Inc. Mr. Kluegel said this proposed sign
is to be located on the Roger Acton property adjacent to 35E.
The property is zoned Light Industrial (LI). The proposed sign
meets all the requirements of the City Sign Ordinance and the
Planning and Zoning Board have recommended approval.
Mr. Bisel explained that the Planning and Zoning Board had given
this item good consideration and moved to approve the application.
Mr. Marier seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
B. Metes and Bounds Conveyance, House Move -In - Emmett Solberg.
Mr. Kluegel explained Mr. Solberg has requested to subdivide ten
acres with 330' of frontage from his present sixty acre parcel
in the Rural zone. This property is located on 20th Avenue. The
second portion of this request is for a house move -in. The house
is presently located in New Brighton and is a three bedroom ramb-
ler with a two car garage. The house meets City Codes and it is
recommended that a mound type septic system be required. The
Planning and Zoning Board has recommended approval of both of
these requests because it is consistent with both the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. The Park fee of $160.00
is required and the Planning and Zoning Board has recommended a
shallow basement because of the high ground water.

March 24, 1986

Mr. Marier was concerned about the drainage tile that runs across
this property from 35E to 20th Avenue. He asked that the tile be
exposed so that it will not be crushed when the house is moved
onto the site.,
Mr. Reinert was concerned about the high ground water. He asked
that Mr. Kluegel be on site during the construction of the mound
septic system to see that it will be properly installed.
Mr. Bisel moved to approve these requests with the stipulation
that the drain tile be located and if there is damage done to
the tile Mr. Solberg will repair it at his expense and he takes
care of the driveway drop as necessary. Mr. Marier seconded
the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
C. Conditional Use Permit - Temporary Advertising Sign - Voyageur
Log Homes. Mr. Kluegel explained this request is for a 4' x 8'
advertising sign to be located on the roof of a 10' x 20' log
structure on the Forrest Tagg property near the intersection of
Lake Drive but facing 35W. The property is zoned Light Industrial
and all set backs have been met. The Planning and Zoning Board
did recommend approval of this request with the stipulation that
it be removed by September 1, 1986.
Mr. Schumacher noted that both the sign and log structure are
presently in place and noted approving this would be after the
fact as well as setting a precedence. He reminded the Council
that a similar request for a sign on a truck trailer had been
denied. This may violate the uniform code.
Mr. Reinert moved to deny this request because it appears to
be precedent setting. Mr. Marier seconded the motion. Motion
carried unanimously.
At 10:10 P.M. Mr. Bohjanen moved to extend the Council Meeting
for another thirty minutes. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion.
Motion carried unanimously.
D. Site and Building Plan Review - Golf Driving Range - Kenneth
Tritten. Mr. Kluegel explained that this request is for the
installation of a golf driving range in the Rural zone on land
owned by Donald Lundgren east of Holly Drive on Ash Street. The
driving range will be on five acres leased from Mr. Lundgren for
five years. The proposal includes a 14' x 24' club house, no
outside lighting and a landscaping plan. This is a permitted use
in the Rural zone. Anoka County has approved the traffic pattern.
The property is currently being farmed.

Mr. Reinert was concerned because sanitation facilities consist
of satellites. It was determined that this is what is normally
used at golf driving ranges and Mr. Tritten said that if after
several years it appears this will be a profitable situation
and he is able to purchase the land from Mr. Lundgren he will
install a septic system. Mr. Kluegel has checked with PCA and
they felt satellites are acceptable.
Mr. Marier moved to approve the recommendations of the Planning
and Zoning Board and approved the Site and Building Plan Review
for Mr. Tritten. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
Mr. Kluegel reported that Mr. Swistowski has removed his sign and
Mr. Roland Ford is progressing in cleaning up his property.
ENGINEER'S REPORT - BOB TODDIE
A. Feasibility Study for Ulmer's Rice Lake 4th Addition. Mr.
Toddie has completed the feasibility study for this project. He
noted that part of the project is construction of trunk water
mains and sewer mains that interfaces with the Rice Lake Estates
project. These mains are designed to service the entire area of
approximately 500 acres. Based on the figures presented in the
written report, Mr. Toddie deems the project to be feasible.
Mr. Toddie is proposing that a portion of the project not be
assessed against Mr. Ulmer since the project is designed to ser-
vice an area larger than Mr. Ulmer's plat. This portion could
be deferred or financed by connection charges. If the total
cost were to be levied against Ulmers 4th Addition the project
may not be feasible.
Mr. Davidson concurred with Mr. Toddie and noted that this project
differs from the Rice Lake Estate project because the Rice Lake
Estate project was at a dead end area whereas Mr. Ulmers subdivision
is at the beginning of the area to be served.
B. Accepting Feasibility Report and Authorizing Plans and
Specifications - Resolution No. 86 - 07., Mayor Benson told the
Council that if the Ulmer's Rice Lake Addition #4 plat is approved
on April 14, 1986 plans and specifications can be approved at
that time as well as the Resolution.
C. Consideration and Approval of Circle Pines Joint Water Service
Agreement. Mr. Toddie had prepared a revision of this draft to
include language that Mr. Volk has suggested regarding contaminated
wells. Mr. Toddle has not received a proposal draft from Circle
Pines.

Mr. Hawkins was concerned with item number six of the proposed
draft regarding termination of the agreement. Mr. Hawkins will
forward his comments to the administrator's office before the
next Council Meeting.
D. Rice Lake Estates Well - Mr. Toddie asked the Council for
permission to drill a test well to determine if there is a Jor-
don aquifer in this area. If it is not there the well will have
to be drilled to the Mt. Simon aquifer which would require a much
larger starting hole for the well. The cost of the test well
would be from $2,000 to $3,000.
Mr. Marier moved to go to the Jordon - or approve the drilling
of a test well. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
E. 4th Avenue Projects - Mr. Toddie will be dealing with the
RCWD and the County and will be giving them the capacity that
will be required for this project and will be determining what
type of a system will be needed for this area. He expects to
get this information to'the RCWD engineers in just a few days.
Mr. Bohjanen asked if it be determined how large an area would
be served if Ditch #22 were cleaned. Mr. Toddie said the RCWD
engineer has determined the capacity to be seven CFS if the
ditch were cleaned. This would be far less than what the area
contributes to the ditch. The drainage area is about 1,600 acres.
ATTORNEY'S REPORT - BILL HAWKINS
Mr. Hawkins did not have a report tonight.
OLD BUSINESS
A. License Conditions for L & G Rehbein for the Distribution
of Lime - Mrs. Anderson has checked with Anoka County who issued
the license to L & G Rehbein. Mr. Jon Christenson has investi-
gated the concerns raised by the Council regarding sludge being
stockpiled on the 20th Avenue site and has determined there is
a violation of the license provisions. Mr. Christianson has
notified the contractor that continued violation will result
in suspension of the license. He also told Mrs. Anderson that
he did not have the staff to adequately inspect these types of
operations.
The Council expressed concern over the lack of routine inspections
of this concern. There were several suggestions including the City
perform the inspections and charge the County. There was also
concern expressed regarding what materials were contained in the
sludge and its potential harmful effects.

Mr. Reinert moved to request the County to cancel L & G Rehbein
