1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />COUNCIL WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 3, 1993 <br />Mr. Wessel explained that Greenhaven Press is very close to <br />making Lino Lakes their place of business. They are a wholesaler <br />of text books (church, university and schools) and Lino Lakes <br />would be their distribution center. They plan to build a 15,000 <br />square foot building in their first phase and then double the <br />size of the building within three (3) years. <br />Mr. Wessel explained that Greenhaven Press is close to coming <br />before the City Council with a request for site and building plan <br />approval. They will be before the EDAAB tomorrow and before the <br />Planning and Zoning Board on Wednesday. Mr. Wessel said that he <br />will appear before the next City Council work session to discuss <br />a financing issue. <br />Mr. Wessel noted that Greenhaven Press is a good company and he <br />is very excited about them relocating in the Lino Lakes Business <br />Park. They have hired Winsor/Faricy as their architect and are <br />somewhat concerned about dealing with the City Council since they <br />have had a bad experience with the New Brighton City Council. <br />Mr. Wessel said that Greenhaven Press has been very responsible <br />and responsive. <br />ANNEXATION UPDATE <br />Mr. Schumacher explained that after many months of testimony and <br />a long delay in making a decision, the Municipal Board has <br />finally made a decision to deny the annexation request from the <br />City of Centerville. Comments made by the Municipal Board will <br />be dealt with by the attorneys. Mr. Schumacher noted that the <br />Municipal Board was concerned about a good relationship and how <br />the City deals with citizens seeking to develop their lands. <br />Lino Lakes must make sure that all documents are in good order <br />because this matter could be back before the Municipal Board. <br />The Municipal Board requested that the City of Lino Lakes and the <br />City of Centerville sit down and try to plan how the area near <br />I35E and County Road 14 could best be developed. Mayor Reinert <br />said he sees a very good possibility of bringing the City of Hugo <br />in on these discussions so that the final plans will benefit all <br />surrounding property owners. <br />Council Member Bergeson asked if the final cost of the annexation <br />process was known. Mr. Schumacher said no, however there should <br />be no other costs unless the City of Centerville appeals the <br />matter. <br />Mayor Reinert noted that the Municipal Board directed that the <br />City work with the •landowners to prepare a plan of development. <br />If a plan is not under consideration in 18 months, the matter <br />could go back to the Municipal Board.
