Mr. Bohjanen moved to accept the minutes of the February 9th meeting as so corrected. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. The Clerk reported that 3.2 beer on —sale license #50 had been issued to the VFW Post 6583; also, their application, received later, was given to Mr. Locher to check over. A letter from the Fire Underwriters Inspection Bureau had been received stating that they required copies of both fire contracts before they would review our classification. A letter from the State Highway Dept. in reply to a request that the street lights on the I35W bridge be repaired was received stating that the problem had been investigated and that a damaged buried cable was the cause and would be repaired following the thaw. The Clerk stated that a letter from the Twin Cities Area Metropolitan Transit Commission had been received which set the meeting dates of April 15th and May 28th at 7:30 a.m. at various area restaurants for municipal staff people and elected officials. We will be informed later of definite meeting places. The Clerk stated that Mr. Wally Hill had finished his work on the audit and expected to have the finished copies in time for the first meeting in March. Also, she had picked up the typewriter from the Lexington Village Hall. A call from the Lexington Clerk had been received stating that a local newspaper article on the subject of the typewriter was misleading; Lexington had no interest whatever in it but wished several other items of the Municipal Court property. 84 The State cigarette apportionment in the amount of $2,730.64 and the liquor apportion- ment in the amount of $2,637.55 had been received on February 16th. A copy of a letter formally petitioning the Metropolitan Council for sanitary sewer in U.S. Lakes Addition was passed around. A letter from Duane Klepel was read giving his intentions to comply with all Village Ordinances regarding his future sale of lots from his 2 1/2 acre parcel on Lake Drive. Mr. Bohjanen moved to purchase 2 copies of the DIRECTORY OF MINNESOTA MUNICIPAL OFFI-. CIALS from the League of Minnesota Munie'ipalities at $4.00 per copy. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. The Clerk passed around literature on a forthcoming. conference for municipal clerks and finance officers to be held March 12 and 13. No action was taken. Mayor Munson of Lexington was presented. He gave some details on the new fire contract and the reasons for the raise in fee from $2,000 /yr. to $3.360/yr. He stated that they had received very good cooperation from the Lino Lakes police in helping with the fires. Mr. Munson stated that 40% of the fire calls which their department re- ceived were in Lino Lakes. The new map defining the boundary line between areas covered by the two departments was discussed as well as other provisions. Mr. Bohjanen wished to know whether the fee could be paid in two payments and was told yes; he also wished to know the size of the force and was told that the capacity of the department was 36 members including 33 firefighters, and 3 of higher rank. After further discussion, Mr. Bohjanen moved to accept the one - year (1970) Lexington Fire Contract. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. One copy of the signed contract will be returned to Lexington. Mr. Cardinal reported that Mr. Cecil LaMotte had placed a new proposal for additional platting before the Planning & Zoning on February 18th and had been advised to bring his plans to the next P&Z meeting. Mr. Cardinal stated that the Planning & Zoning had considered the proposed planning and zoning procedures suggested by Mr. Van Houses and had recommended that Sections 1 and 2 be adopted as an amendment to Ordinance 21. These two sections were read by the Clerk. After discussion, Mr. Cardinal moved that Sections 1 and 2 of the planning and zoning procedures be adopted as Ordinance 21C in order to handle other than single and duplex residences but not to supercede stricter sections of existing Ordinance 21. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. A copy of the pro- cedures will be sent to Mr. Locher in order to draw up the ordinance. Mr. Cardinal reported that the Planning & Zoning will consider the new Minnesota Plumbing Code at their next meeting; they are inviting Mr. Winfield West, Plumbing Inspector, to comment on any changes at that time. Mr. Cardinal also reported that Mr. James Bratland of Brede, Inc. had been asked to supply more information in regard to his request for sign permits and would have this for the next Planning & Zoning meeting. Mr. Clyde Rehbein had asked the Planning & Zoning to approve a variance to split a 180' lot into two 90' lots for the purpose of building a duplex on each lot. Mr. Locher checked his survey map. The P&Z had recommended granting the variance; Mr. Cardinal noted that the $25.00 fee had not yet been received. Mr. Locher noted that each parcel would contain some 30,000 square feet; that the parcels were in a commercial district which allows 2 -4 family dwellings; but a variance would 8 be required since there was less than 150' of frontage and less than 2 1/2 acres in area. Mr. Cardinal moved to grant a variance to Mr. Clyde Rehbein to split the lot described as follows: That part of the Northeast 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 of Section 8, Township 31, Range 22, Anoka County, Minnesota, described as follows: Commencing at a point where the center line of United State Highway No. 8 intersects the centerline of Carlton Road, so called, which road runs along the North boundary line of the said Northeast 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 of Section 8; thence East along the centerline of said Carlton Road, so called, a distance of 143 feet to a point on said centerline of the Carlton Road, so called; thence South at right angles to said centerline a distance of 400 feet to the actual point of beginning of the tract of land to be hereby described; thence West and parallel with the centerline of Carlton Road, so called, a distance of 384.67 feet to its inter- section with the centerline of United States Highway No. 8 as now laid out and traveled; thence Southwesterly along the centerline of said United States Highway No. 8 as now laid out and traveled a distance of 180 feet; thence East and parallel with the centerline of Carlton Road, so called, a distance of 384.67 feet; thence Northeasterly and parallel with the centerline of United States Highway No. 8 as now laid out and traveled a distance of 180 feet to the actual point of beginn- ing, except the Northwesterly 40 feet thereof as measured at right angles to the centerline of said United States Highway No. 8 providing that the fee be paid before issuance. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Cardinal noted that an article in the paper stated that we were 45 days late in paying our fee on the Centerville fire contract. Mr. L'Allier stated that we had not received the signed contract back from Centerville and had heard no report on it. The Clerk will call to check. The Council then took up the matter of the request by W. Gilbert Menkveld to set hearings on rezoning and special use permits for trailer parks on 3 separate parcels. W. Joseph Summers, Attorney for W. Menkveld, gave some description of the 3 parcels and the petition with signatures in favor of a trailer park on the parcel by the Youth Center. Maps with the parcels outlined heavily were passed out to all at the table. Mr. Summers felt they were entitled to rezoning and special use permit hearings on the parcel straddling Hwy. 8. W. Cardinal noted that the Planning & Zoning had recommended that all three parcels be denied hearings for the reasons of lack of sewers and the overtaxing of the school systems with the influx of many children. W. Bohjanen asked Mr. Menkveld if he would consider holding hearings for only one parcel or only for all three. W. Menkveld answered that he considered each parcel individually. Mr. Bohjanen then asked W. Menkveld if he had considered any other type of enterprise for these areas. W. Summers stated that the only potential use on the parcel by the Youth Center would be for a mobile home park. Mr. Jaworski asked if he didn't feel that by placing the court so close to the Youth Center he wasn't subjecting the residents to thefts and harassment from the escapees, especially car thefts. W. Summers felt this was up to the tenants and he didn't feel it was any big deterrent. Mr. Cardinal noted that the State didn't feel that this area was good for a mobile home court either. Mr. Summers countered that the State could buy tie land then. Mr. Locher stated that the legal description on parcel 2 didn't metch the drawing. Mr. Menkveld stated that this was his error; that the Hillsdale legal should have been included. Mr. Summers stated that the legal should be amended to conform. Mr. Locher also noted that the legal for parcel 1 was inadequate; that some parcels not to be included were not mentioned. He would need definition on a 3 -acre parcel with a life deed. W. Bill Meyer of Suburban Engineering stated that the density of the trailer court would be less than 5 trailers per acre and that they would make a first -class court. 86 W. Summers stated that there was no way of bringing any development into Lino Lakes without burdening the schools. He stated that the parcel was within striking distant of the sewer and that the Youth Center had a Mcrying need" for sewers. Asked if this statement had some basis or if it were hearsay, Mr. Summers allowed that this was hearsay, but that Mr. Jensen of Suburban Engineering had stated that in the spring the high water created a problem at the Youth Center. Mr. Summers noted that in parcel 1, the 300' commercial on either side of the highway made up some 1/4 to 1/3 of the entire parcel, excluding 4 lots shown on the plat map. Mr. L'Allier stated that the parcels should be dealt with one at a time. He stated that parcel 2 (as shown on the map) was the same parcel for which Mr. Stein had requested a trailer court and which had been ultimately rejected by both the Planning & Zoning and the Council. Mr. Locher noted that Mr. Menkveld had no signatures for this parcel. There had been no signatures for Mr. Stein either, but the Council had petitioned to hold hearings; no changes were known to have been made to the land; Mr. Stein had shown a detailed mockup of the proposed court. Mr. Summers stated that they would be more than willing to create a 300' buffer zone on the northeast and southwest sides of the parcel and this would take care of the 2/3 required signatures. Mr. Cardinal asked if this hadn't been done on Mr. Stein's request also and was told that it had been only on the north side. Mr. Summers stated that since the Clerk had taken the money and the petition that the hearings must be held. Also they couldn't go to the Pollution Control Agency without Council approval. Mr. Locher mentioned that the acceptance of the money and the petition was merely a clerical act and was not binding on the Council; we were not sure about the Pollution Control Agency requirement as mentioned. Mr. Locher noted that the Ordinance says "will" and not "shall" as far as the Council being required to hold hearings on rezoning and special use permits if a 2/3 signatur petition is received. Mr. Cardinal moved, on the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Board, that the request for hearings for rezoning and special use permit on parcel No. 2 be denied for the reasons of lack of sewers, overloading of the schools and Mr. Locher's statement that Lino Lakes is not obliged to hold such hearings on a parcel for which similar hearings were held such a short time ago. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried with Mr. Bohjanen noting no. Mr. Locher noted that the fee of $75.00 for a trailer court request would be returned for this parcel. Mr. L'Allier mentioned the resolution that had been adopted at the last meeting stating that the Council would take up to one year to discuss and review mobile home sites. Mr. L'Allier stated that the reasons that Lino Lakes had not yet adopted a comprehensive zoning plan were because of the airport and that we are not completely convinced that something can't be done to improve our tax base. The Council will sit down to discuss the matter as well as visiting some courts and checking statistics from all sources. Mr. L'Allier asked Mr. Summers if he would consider withdrawing the requests for the other 2 parcels until the Council has finished their review or if he wished to proceed anyway. Mr. Summers stated that everyone knows where the sites are and that the Council can decide if they are suitable; he especially would like the parcel near the Youth Center to be heard. There was some discussion on statistics, newspaper articles, other types housing, taxes, State aid for roads, etc. 1 1 1 Parcel No. 1 was discussed next. Mr. Menkveld was requesting rezoning for the remainder of the parcel not already commercial and a special use permit for the whole parcel. There was no petition of necessary signatures. W. Locher mentioned that the County had a greater setback than did the State along Hwy. 8 also, they had not complied with the requirements of Ordinance 39 by producing drawings, etc. for the court. After some discussion of the problems involved, Mr. Summers stated that they were willing to withdraw their request for this parcel if the Council would grant hearings on parcel No. 3. After brief discussion, the Council moved on to parcel No. 3. W. Summers produced plans (plus several additional sets); also, the petition had the required signatures. Mr. Locher spent a considerable amount of time checking all the legals, etc. He noted that Tilsen, etal, owned the parcels on the west, north and south sides of this parcel. The Behm brothers have a life estate on a parcel owned by Tilsen. Mr. Locher discussed the roadway with W. Menkveld. Mr. L'Allier noted that the adoption of Ordinance 21C earlier this evening would help in this matter. Mr. Locher announced that of the 320 acres in adjoining land involved, Mr. Menkveld had the signatures of the owners of 225 acres which was some 12 -13 acres over the 2/3 needed and was sufficient. W. Bohjanen moved that the Council grant Mr. Menkveld hearings for rezoning and special use permit on parcel No. 3 with the stipulation that the request for hearings on parcel No. 1 be withdrawn. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Vote: No: Mr. Jaworski and Mr. Cardinal; Aye: Mr. Rosengren, W. Bohjanen and W. L'Allier. Motion carried. Mr. Summers stated that he hereby made a withdrawal of the request for hearings on parcel No. 1. Mr. Jaworski moved to accept Mr. Summers' withdrawal on parcel No. 1 and to refund the $75.00 paid towards the trailer court request. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. There was discussion on setting hearing dates. With the approval of Mr. Summers, Mr. Bohjanen moved to set the date of April 15th at 8:30 p.m. for hearings before the Planning & Zoning and the date of May 11 at 8:30 p.m. before the Council on the matter of rezoning and special use permit for parcel No. 3. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Upon the Clerk's inquiry, W. Summers authorized the transfer of the refunded $150 for two trailer court requests to be used to defray rezoning and special use permit costs. The Park Board minutes were read. Mr. Jaworski asked Mr. Cardinal if the Planning and Zoning had discussed the setback of the road around Centerville Lake going to the park and was told no. There was some discussion on this matter. W. Jaworski stated that he had looked at the map at U.S. Lakes Development which was supposed to show the area proposed for parks but that there were none shown on it. Mr. Rosengren reminded that we had previously thought of having a park at the curve on 7th Avenue on this side of the channel. Mr. Jaworski wished to know when the area for parks on the Waldoch property would be decided. He wished to put in ball diamonds but nothing permanent. Mr. Rosengren thought that the lower ground would make nice camping grounds, but that the center part of the property should be left for a future Village Hall. 88 Mr. Rosengren had no report, but noted that he hoped to have the specifications on the tandem truck by the next meeting. The building committee had met last month at his place. Mr. Bohjanen suggested that street lights be placed on Linda and Laurene. There was general discussion on other sites. Mr. Bohjanen moved to authorize install- ation of up to 6 street lights on the recommendation from the Roads Dept. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. L'Allier reminded the Council that the next Anoka County Assn. of Municipalities meeting would be Wednesday, February 25 at 8:00 p.m. at Fridley. Representatives of the Metro Council Transit Commission would make a presentation along with their engineers. Mr. L'Allier suggested that the Council meet on March 10th with the Planning & Zoning, the Planner, and the Engineer to gather information on mobile home courts. The meeting was set for 8:00 p.m. Notices will be sent to the school districts; the Engineer and Planner will be asked to bring maps, etc. The newspapers were asked to make note of this. Mr. Bohjanen requested that the Planner attend the next Community and Business Development Commission meeting to add finishing touches on their brochure. There were no objections. Mr. Locher reported that he had received the signed and completed contract on the Baldwin Lake Park site from the St. Paul Water Dept. Mr. Jaworski asked to be informed of the expiration date and when the $1 was to be paid. The Council will act on the renewal of the contract each year. There was discussion on the proposed Rice Creek Watershed. Mr. Bohjanen gave his observations on this and felt that we should be assured a man on the Watershed Board. He thought we should study the Open Space Committee views and keep a watch on the Coon Creek Watershed developments. Mr. L'Allier felt we should tread lightly on this and felt we should go to the Engineer for exact data. He mentioned that the local assessments would be left to the municipalities. Upon further discussion, Mr. Jaworski moved to authorize the Engineer to spend time on a topography map; that this matter would be mentioned to Mr. Gotwald at the March 10th meeting and plan discussions to take place later. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. There was some discussion on the use of the old police car for police work on bad nights; it was decided that the insurance could not be changed on it. Mr. Rosengren mentioned that the insurance on the tanker truck could be suspended for 6 months of the year when not in use. Mr. Cardinal moved to pay the bills as audited, including the first -half payment of the two fire contracts. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. Mr. Myhre asked who would decide on the choice of the 4th man for the police force. He was told that the Council would make the decision. The Clerk was instructed to make copies of the applications for the Council to look at prior to the March 9th meeting. Mr. Bohjanen moved to authorize the purchase of a new gun belt for the new man at an approximate cost of $85.00. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. 1 1 89 Mr. Jaworski moved to authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the Lexington Fire Contract. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously. Mr. Rosengren presented his application for an on -sale liquor license for Hank's Cafe. He stated that he had checked with the Liquor Control Commissioner's office and had been told that the 1969 Legislature had granted us another on -sale license. Mr. Rosengren stated that he would like approval for April 1st. Mr. Bohjanen moved that this application be put on record to be considered at the next meeting, and that Mr. Locher will get information from the Liquor Control Commissioner's office. It was noted that the insurance and bond had not yet been received. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously. Mr. Jaworski moved to adjourn at 10 :36 p.m. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren.
