260 <br />COUNCIL MEETING JULY 8, 1991 <br />noted that when sewer <br />landowners can submit <br />Council must react to <br />guideline. <br />and water utilities become available, <br />their requests for extension. The City <br />these requests using the City Code as their <br />Mr. Miller explained that there is sewer capacity available to <br />serve 268 homes in Lino Lakes. However, the only request for <br />service at this time is for Mr. Birch's south 20 acres. He noted <br />that if someone north of Mr. Birch's 20 acres were to request a <br />rezone and extension of services, the Council would have to go <br />through this entire action again. <br />Council Member Kuether asked why the property is best suited for <br />multifamily housing. Mr. Miller explained that single family <br />housing would require a much larger parcel of land to meet <br />various setback requirements. Mr. Boxrud explained that <br />"bunching" the housing allows costs to remain so that project is <br />feasible. Council Member Neal asked if Metropolitan Council does <br />not approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and the land is not <br />rezoned, who will have to pay for the cleanup of the property. <br />Mr. Boxrud said the landowner would pay. <br />Mr. Miller noted that the only park issue remaining unresolved is <br />whether the trail system should be public or private. The <br />developer has requested that the trail system be private and the <br />Park Board is requesting that the trail system be public. This <br />must be addressed in the developer's agreement. <br />Mr. Miller explained that the Council should not take action on <br />the request to rezone the south 20 acres owned by Mr. Birch until <br />they have received a written document from Metropolitan Council <br />as to whether or not the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment <br />has been approved. He noted that the Metropolitan Council has <br />received a fair amount of correspondence from Lino Lakes <br />residents on this matter. <br />Council Member Reinert said he felt that the 28 acres to the <br />north owned by Mr. Birch has some bearing on this matter. Mr. <br />Boxrud explained that the north 28 acres is calculated into a lot <br />of the "front end" costs. There will be a need to assess all <br />units in the total 48 acres to make this project feasible. Mr. <br />Birch will need reasonable assurances that the Council will at <br />some time in the future rezone the north 28 acres to PUD. Mr. <br />Boxrud also noted that of the total 131 developable acres, Mr. <br />Birch owns about one fourth. <br />Council Member Reinert moved to close the public hearing at 8:40 <br />P.M. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion <br />carried unanimously. <br />PAGE 8 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />
