1 00 Be it resolved: That the Lino Lakes Council hereby requests the Anoka County Commissioners to join with the other Boards of County Commissioners within the Rice Creek Area, and petition to establish the Rice Creek Watershed District. After discussion Nr. Bohjanen moved to adopt the above resolution. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Motion carried with Mr. L'Allier voting no as he felt that this was giving a blank check to the future District and would not give proper repre- sentation for oArVillage. Copies will be sent to the Rice Creek Association and to Commissioner Robert Burman. Mr. Eugene Blomquist queried the fees which had been sent him regarding Blomquist Addition. Mr. Locher stated that such developments are for the benefit of the developer and therefore he should be required to pay the fees incurred rather than all taxpayers in the Village paying for his benefit. Mr. Locher then read the fees charged by Blaine, Coon Rapids, Champlin and Anoka, all of whom had stated that they lost money on rezonings, etc. It is also required that titles on developments be proven clear by a Village Attorney. Mr. Bohjanen mentioned that by our ordinance this is required; also, the Village is not to make money, but is entitled to charge fees in order to defray cost by the Attorney, Engineer, etc. Mr. Bohjanen moved, after discussion, that notification °fall costs to be charged in the consideration of a request for a variance, rezoning, special use permit, platting and/or title opinion including the standard set Village fee plus fees for the Attorney, Engineer, Building Inspector and publication be set forth on mimeo- graphed sheets to be presented to the applicant for such request at the time of his hearing.
