(427 -1212) Mr. L'Allier announced that the Metropolitan Planning Guide was available to the Council and P&Z members. He pointed out the section which mentioned that Lino Lakes could be used almost completely for parks and playgrounds but did not in- dicate in any way how we would be compensated in taxes, as parks,do not provide a tax base. Mr. L'Allier favored development of lakes with the right kind of buildings to provide the tax base. Mr. L'Allier had talked with Mr. Gary Benyhoff of the State Highway Department about setting up a ribbon cutting ceremony when Highway 35W is completed up to Highway 8; also a similar ceremony when 35E is completed. Mr. L'Allier introduced Mr. Robert Eidem, a Community Planner, for the Office of Local and Urban Affairs, who was present to discuss the 701 Program which is a Federal Aid program to help communities plan for their future growth. Mr. Eidem mentioned that the Office also has many other programs such as training building inspectors and had put out the Metropolitan Development Guide. The Metropolitan Council does not stand behind this Guide and is putting out their own this fall. The "701" Program is Section 701 in the Federal Housing Bill of 1954, and was initiated to give technical assistance to communities through paying a portion of a professional planner's salary and other costs necessary to complete the in- depth study of the future. The Federal Government would pay 2/3 of the costs with the Village paying 1/3, with the State administering the program. It is estimated that Lino Lakes could be eligible for about $12,000 in Federal Funds. (They start with an $8,000 base and figure an additional amount of $1.00 per capita.) The Village would not necessarily have to pay their share all at one time. There are four phases to the program which should take from 18 -24 months to complete. 1. Hard and complete look at the community. 2. State the goals and objectives of the community. 3. Analyze the plans to achieve the goals. 4. Implementation -- land use, zoning, etc.
