1 1 1 25 October 17, 1977 The special meeting of the Lino Lakes City Council was called to order at 8:00 P.M. on October 17, 1977 by Acting Mayor Karth. Council members present; McLean, Schneider, Zelinka. Mr. Locher, Mr. Gotwald and Mr. Short were also present. Mayor Bohjanen was absent. This meeting had been called for the purpose of discussing the upcoming hearing before the State Hearing Examiners on the points of objections to the City's System Statement. Mr. Karth had attended the meeting of the Physical Development Committee this past week, where the matter of the Otter Lake Regional Park was to be considered. However, the matter was tabled until an appointed sub - committee of the Parks and Open Space Commission could meet with Lino Lakes, Hugo and Ramsey County. This committee will be meeting here at the City Hall on October 18, 1977 to negotiate, if possible, some solution to the objections of the two communities of this Regional Park being included in their respective system statements. Mr. Locher reported that Mr. John Hoeft, Attorney for the Metropolitan Council, had con- tacted him and had felt that there is only three areas of disagreement. He had proposed that a letter would be written to Mr. Locher setting forth these areas of disagreement, but it had not been received as yet. Mr. McLean asked Mr. Short what he felt the major areas of differences would be and Mr. Shortsaid that 1) park issue; 2) correcting the location of the Centerville interceptor; 3) the interchange at 135W and County Road #14. These issues and how they should be handled were thoroughly discussed. The public hear- ings scheduled on the WPC -40 rules and regulations was noted and the Clerk was instructed to contact both the Plumbing Inspector and Building Inspector on these hearings. The points of objections and suggested changes by this City were gone over and there was no change of position on any of the points. There was much discussion as to the procedure of the Hearing Examiner and what could be accomplished at this hearing. Some areas to be researched by Mr. Locher were set forth. The general position as to the Otter Lake Regional Park issue that will be discussed on the 18th was discussed with the Council holding to the position that should be removed from the systems statement. Mr. McLean reported he had received a proposal from Mr. Kronholm, as a representative of Drovers State Bank, for an approximate 13 acre site for park purposes. This would be to satisfy the requirements of the Country Lakes Plats. There was also to be a proposal to clear the frontage requirements of the townhouse on the East side of the Lake. Mr. McLean, Mr. Schneider and Mr. Karth will meet on Saturday, October 22, 1977 to physically walk the site and will have a recommendation for the Council at their next meeting. ,, The meeting adjourned at 10:45 P.M. The minutes were approved with corrections October 24, 1977 at the regular Council meeting. EDNA L. AR ER, ERK - TREASURER
