1 <br />COUNCIL MEETING MAY 26, 1992 <br />this matter will be resolved. <br />Mrs. Newcome noted that the Metropolitan Council will hold <br />regional meetings and will be looking for local input regarding <br />many matters under consideration by the Council. <br />Mayor Reinert noted that the transit system appeared to be <br />favoring the southern communities at the expense of the northern <br />communities. He felt that the northern communities do not get <br />the same consideration although these communities pay a fair <br />share of the support of the transit system. Mrs. Newcome said <br />that the Council is trying to resolve this problem and noted that <br />there appears to be a problem with the transit system plan. <br />Mr. Schumacher explained that the City of Lino Lakes is in the <br />process of swapping some public property for some property in the <br />regional park. He asked for Mrs. Newcome's assistance in this <br />matter. <br />Mayor Reinert thanked Mrs. Newcome for coming this evening. <br />CONCEPT ENDORSEMENT - GOLF COURSE, ALAN ROBINSON PROPERTY <br />Mr. Schumacher explained that this matter was discussed at the <br />May 20, 1992 work session. Mr. Robinson is developing a golf <br />course on his property in the northwest corner of Lino Lakes and <br />has asked that the City officially approve the concept of a golf <br />course in that area. Mr. Schumacher has checked the current <br />zoning ordinance and a golf course is a permitted use. However, <br />a site plan is required. Mr. Schumacher has spoken with Mr. <br />Robinson and he is aware of the requirements. At this time, he <br />is only asking if the City Council would take a position as to <br />whether or not a golf course on his property, in this area, is a <br />good idea. <br />Mr. Schneider explained that Mr. Robinson is unable to attend <br />this evening and he did not state whether action on this matter <br />was urgent. Mr. Robinson does have a letter from the Army Corp <br />of Engineers (ACORP) and Mr. Robinson must respond to it. <br />Mayor Reinert noted that the staff is requesting time to gather <br />information regarding the golf course. He also noted that the <br />Park Board and the Planning and Zoning Board are aware that Mr. <br />Robinson is planning a golf course, however, neither board has <br />reviewed a plan. Council Member Bergeson explained that Mr. <br />Robinson is looking for a quick response and asked if the City <br />Council could approve the idea subject to review by the Park <br />Board and the Planning and Zoning Board. Mayor Reinert said that <br />during the Council work session last Wednesday, all Council <br />members generally agreed that the golf course was a good idea. <br />PAGE 4 <br />33 <br />
