Absent; Zelinka. Mr. Gotwald, Mr. Locher and Mr. Short were also present. Mr. Gourley, Planning and Zoning Board Chairman was also present. Mr. Lee Starr, Mr. John Hoeft, and Mr. Bob Ranta were present as staff representatives of the Physical Development Committee of the Metropolitan Council. Mayor Bohjanen said the purpose of this meeting is to clear some of the points of contentions in the City's package presented to the Physical Development Committee on February 17, 1977. Mayor Bohjanen turned the meeting over to Mr. McLean who had worked very closely with the preparation of this material. Mr. McLean said the purpose of this meeting was to make clear the intent of the material submitted to the Physical Development Committee. He felt the Committee should be made to understand this material is intended to conform to the City of Lino Lakes Resolution in conjunction with the installation of the interceptor and to upgrade the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan at the same time. The mater- ial submitted paralleled the Resolution as passed by this City. Mr. Locher said in Number three of the Resolution stated the City will define an Urban Service Area. This has been done_ and the staged development has also been indicated in both Urban service area #I and #2. Area #I concerns the development in the Country Lakes area, Shenandoah and the Baldwin Lake Trailer Court. Area #2 is the Lexington Park Lakeview area which the Committee says cannot be consid- ered at this time because the reserved capacity in the Blaine interceptor is not allocated to the City of Lino Lakes. Mr. Locher said that capacity is there and was set aside at the time of design for the City of Lino Lakes and this matter would be contested if the reserved capacity was allocated to another community. The request for the allocation to be staged over a fifteen year period has been done in increments. The rural service area encompasses the remainder of the City which has been divided into three areas; Ag. #I, Ag. #2, and Rural Residential. Mr. Locher explained the restrictive soils Ordinance and the septic system regulations that are to be considered in relation to this area. The Physical Development Staff had asked for a definition of the problem areas now existing. Mr. Short explained that the City has no records that could document the problem areas. The City is proposing to set up a record keeping system that would define those areas with septic system problems. This system was discussed and explained. Mr. McLean asked if the recommendations of the staff was bounced against the City's Resolution or against the Metropolitan Council demands? Mr. Starr said both was used, but the emphasis had been placed on the Metropolitan requirements. Mr. Starr said in approving the interceptor, the Metropolitan Council had three areas of concern; 1) inpact on serving just the existing homes. 2)the Blaine in- terceptor; 3) service to existing development meant'land platted or just the exist- ing homes'. Mr. Locher added the determination as to annual pumping and monitor- ing septic systems. Number 1, presents no problems; on number 2, Mr. Starr said the City would need to conform to the Land Use Act and prepare an interim comprehensive sewer plan. Mr. Starr said the map as prepared by Gotwald was pretty much sufficient.
