April 22, 1975 The Special Meeting of the Lino Lakes City Council was called to order at 7:15 P.M. by Mayor Bohjanen on April 22, 1975. Council members present: Jaworski, Marier and Zelinka. Absent: McLean. This meeting had been called at the request of Mr. Charles Nelson in regards to a Resolution needed to gain Metropolitan approval of the Pine Vista Plat. Mayor Bohjanen asked the Clerk to read a Resolution presented to the Council by Mr. Nelson. The working in this resolution had been suggested by Mr. John Doyle of the Human Resources Commission. Mr. Jaworski felt that the statement that water and sewer facilities would not be available to that area for 10 to 15 years was debatable. If Lino Lakes assumes the full responsibility for pollution that might occur in this plat, this then would commit this City to the cost of the installation of an interceptor to correct the problem. Mr. Jaworski felt the original letter in Resolution form should be sufficient. Mr. Marier concurred with Jaworski. Mr. Marier moved to adopt the following points as a Resolution dealing with the Pine Vista Plat: 1. Testing of existing wells will be done by Mr. Nelson and the reports will be forwarded to your office as soon as the results are computed. Mr. Nelson will be testing six wells in the im- mediate vicinity of the proposed plat. 2. At the present time the City requires a perc test to be done by a registered engineer before any building permits are issued. 3. In the event of pollution, the City of Lino Lakes will follow the recommendations of the Anoka County Health Office and consider each case on an individual basis. The City will cooperate fully with the Anoka Helath Office to explore and find the best possible solution to the problem if it does occur. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carred unanimously. There was discussion of the term 'primary priority.' This seems to be a point of contention with the Metro Council. This area, not expected to be sewered for 10 to 15 years, should have the rating of 'rural' according to their interpretation of the terms. Mr. Marier said that term was used for that area per instructions from the Metro Council when the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan was being considered. Mr. Marier felt that to change the designation of that area now would leave the City in an awkward position if, suddenly, there should be plans for a North interceptor. Also , there has been no indication from the Metro Council of what they expect from this City. There was discussion as to the time frame for an interceptor. Mr. Marier felt that a date is necessary in order for this City to make a committment. Mr. McLean arrived. Mr. Nelson thought that if the City co- operated to the fullest, and still did not get approval from the Metro Council, then there would be an area to contest. Mr. Marier felt that the Metro Council should be told that the Land Use 41
