Certain of these areas of the City have long been identified for environmental protection whether by the private or public sector and our Ordinances and the coop- eration and good sense of our citizens have accomplished much in this direction. It would be a complete reversal of that indicated concern to accept as industrial use in those locations. 5. The City of Lino Lakes has already providedgreat quanties of land for various projects of Metropolitan and State wide significance with resulting loss of tax base The lands include Highways 135E and 135W plus 2500 acres committed to Anoka County for a park preserve.

Mr. Schneider reported that he will meet with Mr. Gessler of the Babe Ruth League to discuss and supervise the moving back of the snow fence at Lino Park.
