148 August 14, 1978 Mr. Fitch was present to discuss a complaint received by Mayor Karth on the duck pond in his land abutting the Pine Haven Plat. A resident of the area had requested this pond be fenced. Mayor Karth said this is only one of many such ponds located within this City and if one must be fenced, then he felt all such ponds would be required to be fenced. There was discussion on the definition of a pond versus that of a pool. Mr. Fitch pointed out that water had always stood in this area, he had merely deepened the area with thefinancial assistance of Anoka County to form a pond for wildlife. He felt that the children should be educated by their parents to respect water, such as persons who have lakeside homes must do. Mr. McLean felt the parallel to a pool and a pond should be presented to Mr. Locher for clarification. Mr. McLean so moved. Seconded by Mr. Schneider. Motion declared passed. The Clerk was instructed to put this matter on the August 28, 1978 agenda. Mayor Karth said he had received a question on the matter of cutting weeds from Mr. Robinson. He had asked, if a person is notified to cut the weeds and they do not, can the weed inspector go in and cut the weeds and bill the property owner? The Clerk was instructed to present this question to Mr. Locher for an answer. Mr. Kolstad was present to discuss thie matter of a mining permit for the Air Park. The amount of soil to be removed was discussed and the manner in which this could be accounted for. Mr. Kolstad said he would only be selling 3000 cu yds. The permit as approved by the Building Inspector had specified 18,000 c.y. Mr. McLean asked Mr. Mobley if there was any problem reducing this figure and Mr. Mobley staid, No. After some discussion on the method of controlling the amount of soils removed, Mr. Zelinka moved to allow the removal of 3,000 c.y. with the truck tickets to be presented at the City offices. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion declared passed. The matter of the grades along the streetboulevard was discussed and Mr. Kolstad said this should be completed by the 1st of September. Mr. Kolstad said he was unhappy with the valuation of the $1100.00 per acre placed on the land for Park fund purposes. Mr. McLean said the Planning and Zoning Board had tried very carefully to tell each land owner that a decision had not been made at the time of platting. The Clerk was instructed to research the minutes for in- formation pertaining to the Lino Air Park North plat. Mr. Kolstad said he had turned over the specifications for final grade to Mr. Gotwald. A copy will be delivered to Mr. Mobley. Mr. Lorenz had presented the Council with a letter informing them of a commuter bus servicestarting Sept. 5, 1978. This route will start at Blainbrook Bowl in Blaine, stop at the Lino Lakes City Hall and one stop in Centerville and then proceed to downtown St. Paul via 135E. He asked if there could be a place designated at the City Hall for all day parking. After some discussion, Mr. McLean moved that the City Park parking lot be designated for commuter parking, with a sign to be erected. Seconded by Mr. Kulsazewicz. Motion declared passed. 1 1
