While the City is not opposed to orderly or well planned residential development, the City of Lino Lakes wishes to study, develop, evaluate and if necessary modify plans and policies as they relate to it's Zoning Ordinance. The City finds it to be in its best interest to take reasonable measures for a reasonable interim time to protect the planning process and the health, safety and welfare of its citizens until appropriate evaluations and amendments can be effective. The City finds that reasonable measures must be taken for a reasonable interim period to protect the public interest by preserving the integrity of the existing residential areas while changes to the Zoning Ordinance are prepared. The City finds that it is necessary to enact this Ordinance as an emergency Ordinance under Section 3.06 of the City Charter. Section 4, Subdivision 17, Areas without Sanitary Sewer is amended to read as follows: (1) and (2) Lot sizes where public sewer is not available shall conform to the minimum requirements set forth below: The minimum single family lot is ten (10) acres. This minimum lot size shall not apply to smaller separate parcels of record in separate ownership lawfully existing prior to July 13, 1992, provided that it can be demonstrated by means satisfactory to the City that the smaller parcels will not result in groundwater, soil or other contamination which may endanger the public health. This Ordinance Amendment shall take effect upon its passage by a majority of Council Members present at the July 26th, 1993 City Council Meeting and shall be in force and effect for a period of 120 days following that date.
