116 SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING May 20, 1987 Page Two a lower density than one unit per ten acres would be appropriate for Lino Lakes. Mr. Baltzersen explained that Metro Council would rather see sewer extended to new developments rather than allow higher density outside sewered areas. He felt that if the one acre lots were allowed as proposed, the City would not develop the areas where utilities are available. Mr. Cody said that he understood that the comp plan amendment has been stamped "red flag!'. He asked whether "red flag" indi- cated that the proposal is not being approved or that further study was necessary. Mr. Baltzersen said that "red flag" is simply a process step when further study is necessary to deter- mine the feasibility of a proposed change. Mr. Karth asked why Blaine has been allowed lot sized in unsewered areas of 22 acres, 5 acres, and 10 acres. Mr. Baltzersen said he did not know Blaine's plan. Mr. Marier and Mr. Benson felt that the City and Metro Council would need to get together very soon to repeat some of the steps taken earlier, since the Lino Lakes City Planner has changed and the Metro Council representative has changed. Mr. Schumacher added that Lino Lakes expected approval based on Mr. Schoettler's opinion stated at the time of the submittal of the comp plan amendment, and several projects are on hold at this time. A meeting was schedule for 10:30 a.m., Friday, May 22 at Mr. Baltzersen's office for Metro Council staff and Lino Lakes staff (Administrator, Engineer, and former City Planner). In the case that the former City Planner (Wuornos f. Associates) would be un- able to attend, Mr. Cody recommended Mr. McLean attend since he would be most familiar with the comp plan amendment proposed. Mr. Schumacher, Mr. Stahlberg and Mr. Baltzersen agreed upon this time and Mr. Schumacher agreed to contact Wuornos f Associates.
