223 COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 28, 1991 would be 5% and 6% and is allowed by City Code. An on -off ramp would not be required for Mr. Hansen. Mr. Adamson noted that Mr. Smith's property borders the floating bog and he expressed concern with protecting this bog. This bog is not unusual and he will be doing all that is possible to protect it by directing all runoff waters to the south. The question of allowing free access to the channel was mentioned. The culvert will be a ten (10) foot span. It will accommodate every boat with the exception of a sailboat. Mr. Adamson said that he has also met with the people concerned with the trees on the site. He said he does not plan to develop "cow pasture" lots. This matter is being addressed. He asked that this project move forward and if there are still items to be addressed, a contingency can be placed on the approval.

Ms. Elliot noted that the City has not enforced the rules for a building permit issued to Mr. Hansen nor has the City enforced the laws regulating rental property. She noted she was told that the reason the building permit violation was not enforced was because it would be too much paperwork. She asked if a major infraction occurred during the construction of this proposed project would this cause even more paper work. Ms. Elliot said that the homeowners expect better than this. She referred to the people most affected by this project and noted that they are voting tax payers of Lino Lakes. However, she felt the City was intent on placating one developer and not giving any credence to residents already there. Ms. Elliot said that Lino Lakes is destined to be developed. She asked that development be placed in farm fields, our revenues increased and help for our community. She also asked that Oak Brook Peninsula not be destroyed in the process and asked that the rights of the people in Otter Lake Estates not be usurped. Ms. Elliot said that she feels hurt, frightened and betrayed by the people who are suppose to care about us and protect us. John Elliott, 2001 Otter Lake Drive explained that he has spent a lot of money to live in this area. He said it is an area he has PAGE 7 1 1
