• • CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION DECEMBER 15, 1999 Mr. Gary Nordness, Developer for Majestic Pines Community Church, advised he would ask the minister about the number of Lino Lakes members within the church. He stated the location in Lino Lakes was chosen because it is centrally located and the property was on the market. He noted that the additional traffic generated wouldn't be during peak hours. Mayor Sullivan clarified that approval of the initial building does not guarantee approval of Phase 2. Council also expressed concern regarding improvements to the entrance/exit and the reason for so many classrooms. Mr. Nordness advised the County did not require a turn lane on the exit driveway. A turn lane was required for the entrance. The entrance is restricted to ingress only to stagger the traffic. Traffic will stack on property when exiting. Referring to the number of classrooms, he indicated something had to be drawn on the plans for the second floor interior. The immediate plans are to keep that area as open space. Phase 2 is planned to accommodate future growth and be used as a youth activity center. Council directed staff to include the minutes from the Environmental Board meeting regarding this issue in the Friday update. This item will appear on the agenda at the regular Council meeting Monday, December 20, 1999, 6:30 p.m. JADT/MCDONALD UPDATE, BRIAN WESSEL Staff advised Council that they have not yet received Mr. Baylor's concerns and issues in writing. Staff distributed a memo in response to the questions that Mr. Baylor had at the previous Council meeting. Staff advised action items on Monday night will include the following: ordering a feasibility study for Apollo Drive Improvements Phase 4, authorization of eminent domain for purposes to construct an extension from Apollo Drive from Lake Drive to 77th Avenue, and a development agreement based on the City improvement process for the road. Mayor Sullivan advised all three (3) parties haven't come to an agreement regarding the road and who will pay for it. Council and staff discussed several different options. An agreement that was acceptable to the City and Mr. Baylor was not reached. Mr. Tim Baylor, Developer for the project, stated he does not want an unlimited right to the road. He indicated he is still in discussions with Mr. Rehbein. He asked that the developer's agreement be based on an appraiser's market value of the land.
