August 16, 1977 Mr. John Boland, Chairman Metropolitan Council 300 Metro Square Building, Seventh Street and RobEprt Street Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101 Dear Mr. Boland, The City of Lino Lakes, Anoka County, Minnesota, after extensive consideration, analysis and discussion thereof by the members of the City Planning and Zoning Commission, City Counciland City professional advisors hereby acknowledges and accepts the Metropolitan Statement of the Metropolitan Council, dated June 23, 1977 and received by the City on June 29, 1977, but here- by submits the following objections thereto and therefore appeals from such statement as follow 1. The City specifically objects to page 1, part I, paragraph I, in that map C -2 p. 24 of said System Statement is incorrect as to the proposed City Comprehensive Plan and should be a- mended by replacement therof with the attached exhibit marked "EXHIBIT CITY - I." 2. In reference to page 2, paragraph 4 and 5, the City submits that on January 24, 1974 per the Comprehensive Land Use Plan of the City then approved by the Metropolitan Council, low and moderate income housing then constituted approximately 25% of the Lino Lakes housing mix. The City feels the System Statement should be amended to reflect the foregoing. 3. In reference to page 3, paragraph I and 2, in conjunction with the enforcement of State of Minnesota Building, Plumbing, Electrical and Waste Disposal Codes, have allowed and do allow for the construction of modest cost market rate housing as long as such construct- ion does meet with the requirements thereof. A plan to identify theneed for rehabilitation and redevelopment of substandard housing is not appropriate at this time. The System Statement should be amended to reflect the foregoing. 4. As to page 6 relating to 1 35W, the City takes exception to the lack of inclusion of any future improvements throught 1990 to 1 35W and the City submits that improvement will be nexessitated in the form of an interchange at County Road #14 to facilitate the expected heavey use of the 2500 acre Chain of Lakes Regional Park in the City, which improvement is estimated to be needed within the next five (5) years to coincide with projected improve- ment of the said Chain of Lakes Regional Park. The System Statement should be amended to reflect this anticipated need. 5. In reference to paragraph I, of page 7 (continued frompage 6) the City asks for consider- ation of commuter bus service to Minneapolis and St. Paul with collector parking facilities provided at County Road #14 and 1 35E and State Highway #49 and 1 35W to encourage energy conservation through promotion of the use of public transportation to the Chain of Lakes Regional Park and to the area. 6. The City specifies that there is also an approved private airport facility in the plat of Kolstad's Air Park in the Northwestern part of the City. Page 14, paragraph 2 of the
