COUNCIL MEETING <br />June 26,-1989 <br />IIake Drive or west to Sunset Drive. Mayor Benson explained the reason <br />or placing a cul -de -sac on Sunrise Drive. Mrs. Kyllander asked how <br />uch "say" do the residents have on this matter? Mr. Rasmussen <br />uggested also cul -de- sacing Sunrise Drive at Elm Street to prevent Elm <br />Street traffic from exiting south. <br />A gentleman in the audience said he was not impressed with the material <br />proposed for the townhomes and felt the material was commonplace. He <br />also felt there were a lot of homes proposed for the 13 acre site. He <br />asked what would the developers do about Elm Street. He also asked <br />what impact would the townhomes have on the value of homes that were <br />built in the 1940's or 1950's. He explained that he had just moved to <br />Lino Lakes to raise his children in a quiet neighborhood. He felt that <br />the proposal would triple the number of people in this small area. <br />Mr. Rosty said he watched a similar development in Egan and now it is <br />run down and shabby. The development was stopped in "mid- stream" and <br />has been sitting incomplete for about five years. He said the <br />Council was not sincere about lowering taxes by putting all these <br />people and traffic in the school district. <br />Joanne Anderson, 199 Lilac Street asked what value would be placed on <br />each unit. Mr. Miller said that was not a concern, the :important issue <br />is that the quality be there. Jim Held, engineer for the developer <br />said the homes would sell from $80,000 to $85,000. There will be no <br />IFental property. Mrs. Anderson asked if this area was declared a tax <br />ncrement financing district. It is not. Mrs. Anderson asked if the <br />ity had a choice why did they choose multifamily dwellings over single <br />family dwellings. Mr. Miller said it is not up to the City to decide <br />how a land owner chooses to develop his property. The plans were <br />presented and the staff worked with the plans. Mrs. Anderson said the <br />last thing she would like to see developed in this area is multifamily <br />dwellings. Small businesses or single family dwellings would create <br />less need for additional police and fire protection. Mr. Held noted <br />that the tax base created by the townhomes should support services in <br />the same manner as single family units. <br />Rochelle Miller, 7725 Marilyn Drive noted that there is more and more <br />building in Lino Lakes and asked the Council how many more homes did <br />they want built. Mayor Benson noted that Lino Lakes is very accessible <br />and the inner suburbs are now filled so that Lino Lakes is being looked <br />at by more and more developers. The staff has looked at four <br />industrial or light industrial plans and the City does plan to develop <br />the areas within the MUSA boundary. He also noted that if a landowner <br />decides to develop his property he has the right to do so within bounds <br />of the City Code. Ms. Miller asked where Lino Lakes is going. Mayor <br />Benson answered that development is starting at the southwest corner of <br />Lino Lakes and going north near the western boundary. Currently the <br />City is building approximately 180 dwelling units a year. Mrs. Landers <br />aid, "when the store is closed, shut the door ". People are telling <br />he Council what they want. <br />rs. Storberg asked if there has been any consideration that people may <br />not want to live near the freeway. Mayor Benson said he is amazed with <br />
