IV. OPEN MIRE: No one was present to speak under Open Mike.
V. ACTION ITEMS:
94-15-V, Niel Banta, 7829 Nottingham Lane, Variance
Planning Coordinator Wyland reviewed this request which is to
allow the construction of a 384 square foot addition to the
existing 528 square foot garage. Mr. Banta also has an 800
square foot storage building on his property. The property is
Zoned Rural, contains 1.09 acres, and is allowed a total of
1100 square feet of garage area. Property consisting of 1.25
acres or more would be allowed an 1100 square foot garage and
an 800 square foot storage building. The variance in this
case is for 712 square feet of garage area.
The Staff report indicated that variance requests are
generally discouraged unless there is an obvious hardship.
There does not appear to be one in this case. However, Mr.
Banta was insistent. There is some concern that should this
request be granted, the door would be opened for future,
similar requests.
1
PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
June 8, 1994
Mr. Banta was present and stated that his closest neighbor has
no objections to the request. He added that he could purchase
an additional 20' or so from the neighbor and then have the
additional square footage necessary to allow the proposed
construction. However, his lot is large now, the storage
building is screened by tall evergreen trees, and he would
prefer the variance request. When the storage building was
construction, in about 1983, it was a permitted use. (NOTE:
the Accessory Building Ordinance prior to 1990 allowed an 800
square foot storage building on property from 1 to 2 1/2 acres
in size in addition to an attached or detached garage).
Kathy Nordine asked what the existing storage building was
used for. Mr. Banta explained that he has a boat and motor
home stored in the building. She also asked if he would be
willing to remove that building to comply with the square
footage requirements - he was not and added that you can not
see the storage building from the street.
Mr. Schones stated that Mr. Banta is to be commended for
having such a well maintained property. However, he expressed
concern at setting a precedent by granting this variance - we
need to follow the rules we have established for the overall
good of the community.
There was some discussion concerning how this variance could
be granted without setting a precedent. Planning Consultant
Brixius indicated that if specific findings of fact are found
that would be unique to this site it may be possible.
Kathy Nordine suggested looking at the characteristics of the
neighborhood - large lots, some over 1.25 acres which would
allow the additional storage building, the fact that this is
going from a two car garage to a three and three car garages
are becoming more the norm.
Chairman Schaps suggested that the P & Z take time to consider
the request and what options are available and is it possible
to approve without setting a precedent.
After some discussion, Al Robinson made a motion recommending
that Mr. Banta return to the July meeting to allow the P & Z
time to consider his request. John Landers seconded the
motion. All voted aye. Motion carried.
B. 94-11-P, Trappers Crossing, Preliminary Plat/PD
This item was continued from the May 11, 1994 P & Z Meeting.
The Public Hearing was closed at the May meeting.
Chairman Schaps asked if there were any additional comments
from Staff. There were none.
Mr. Corsan, representing Hokanson Development, stated that he
was confused about the status of the PDO. He stated that the
2
PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
June 8, 1994
PDO tool had been used in the platting of Quail Ridge, Park
Grove, and Pine Ridge. This particular plat has only four (4)
lots which do not meet the R -1X area requirements. The lot
width requirements are adhered to on 95% of the lots. The
flexibility that is being requested is on the interior of the
plat - the exterior lots all meet or far exceed the
requirements of the R -1X District. If the plat is redrawn to
conform to the R -1X standards, there would need to be
additional street area and the exterior lots would become
smaller. Mr. Corsan stated that the plan presented would look
the best and adhering to the R -1X requirements would not
improve the looks of the development. (He did not have a
drawing of an arrangement that would meet the R -1X
requirements as requested by the P & Z) The economics of the
plat are indicating that the costs will exceed $38,000 per lot
therefore requiring open field lots demanding a price of
$50,000. The Quail Ridge Plat has lots ranging from $32,900
- 49,900 with amenities like open space and wooded lots.
Al Robinson stated that when the Plat for Quail Ridge was
approved there were certain requirements regarding erosion
control. These requirements have not been met. Kirk Corson
explained that they have cleaned the street twice and used 100
lbs. of seed and hay bales for the drainage swales. The homes
in the plat were constructed in the winter and road
restrictions just went off May llth. Homeowners are putting
in their driveways, landscaping and should be sodding within
the next few weeks. Mr. Robinson indicated that Hokansons
track record was not good and the plat looks like heck. The
P & Z's intention was that the plat look good and there be no
erosion into the wetlands or storm sewer system or onto the
streets. These are the reasons I have problems with this PDO
request.
Planning Consultant Brixius advised the P & Z that the PDO
Classification has nothing to do with the erosion problems in
Quail Ridge.
Chairman Schaps stated that he believes Hokanson is shaded by
the numbers - he had wanted to see what the plat would look
like as R -1X. What we asked be done has not been done!
John Landers asked how many lots they would lose. Mr.•Corsan
indicated about four which would increase the costs to over
$40,000/lot.
Chris Lyden asked if the residents would have an opportunity
to speak to the 47 lots that do not meet the requirements of
R -1X Zoning. Chairman Schaps stated that the Public Hearing
had been closed at the last meeting.
Al Robinson then made a MOTION to deny the preliminary plat
and PDO as presented. John Landers seconded the motion. All
voted aye. Motion carried.

PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
June 8, 1994
VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS:
A. MUSA AMENDMENT: Al Brixius advised the P & Z that staff
would be meeting next week with the Metro Council to discuss
a MUSA Amendment. We may be seeking an arrangement similar to
Lakeville's where the MUSA Areas is held in a banking type
arrangement. This Amendment will set framework for an
updating of the Comprehensive Plan as outlined in the report
dated June 2, 1994.
Ed Schones stated that the report presented was a top notch
piece of work. Mr. Robinson stated that Lino Lakes is unique
in several aspects - large park areas cutting through center
of the community, extensive wetlands, City Charter
constraints. Mr. Landers asked if this item was open to
public discussion. Chairman Schaps stated - not at this time.
Mr. Landers added that there is a group of citizens, himself
included, who would like to see a new Citizen Survey done to
see what direction the citizens want the City to go. Al
Brixius stated that a full comprehensive plan revision will
address many issues, including sewer, water, transportation,
zoning. The Council has directed staff to pursue these
discussions with the Metro Council.
Diana Turner of 7404 Sunset was present and stated that she is
interested in what is going on for the future of Lino Lakes.
She is interested in volunteering to help in the process and
thinks a Citizen Survey would be a good idea. Chairman Schaps
suggested she make this request to the Council as the P & Z is
only an advisory body.
Al Robinson asked what are the chances of getting a banking
type system approved by the Metro Council. Mr. Brixius
indicated that he would know more after next week.
-VI. ADJOURNMENT: Upon the unanimous consent of the Board the
meeting was adjourned at 8:10 P.M.

AGENDA ITEM 5-B
STAFF ORIGINATOR Mary Kay Wyland
DATE July 13, 1994
TOPIC Reconsideration of Trapper's Crossing
Since the June 8, 1994 Planning and Zoning meeting, Roger Hokanson submitted a
letter to the City requesting that the City Council direct his proposal back to Planning
and Zoning to allow him to make the changes originally requested by Planning and
Zoning to comply with the R1 -X Zoning on the property. The City Council was shown
a new, recently completed drawing of Trapper's Crossing which was said to comply
with the R1 -X Zoning with 104 lots. Mr. Corson made some comments on the
increased lot costs in reducing the number of lots.
The City Council voted to send the proposal back to Planning and Zoning in
compliance with Mr. Hokanson's request and if there is a change in design for the
plat, consideration of a new plat design should begin with Planning and Zoning.

DATE: 7 July 1994
RE: Lino Lakes - Trappers Crossing Preliminary
Plat Design Alternative
FILE NO: 194.01 - 94.02
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background
In May of this year, Hokanson Development Inc. requested
preliminary plat approval of a 124 lot single family subdivision
entitled Trappers Crossing. The 72.4 acre site on which the
subdivision is proposed lies south of Birch Street between Holly
Drive and 12th Avenue South. To allow a degree of design
flexibility within the subdivision, the applicant had requested a
combination R-1X/PDO - Planned Development Overlay Zoning
Designation. Such designation was intended to recognize the site's
contained wetlands and provide some degree of flexibility in regard
to lot size and width.
In its original consideration of the Trappers Crossing preliminary
plat, the Planning Commission denied approval of the PDO zoning and
requested that the applicant prepare a plat design alternative
which responds strictly to the subject property's R -1X zoning
designation. The Lino Lake City Council prior to taking action on
the applicant's initial development application requested that the
Planning Commission review the most recent submittal.
5775 Wayzata Blvd. • Suite 555 • St. Louis Park, MN 55416 • (612) 595-9636•Fax. 595-9837
It should be noted that this report is intended to supplement our
office's 4 May 1994 review of the original plat submission
(combination R-1X/PDO Zoning Designation).
Attached for reference:
Exhibit A - Previous Preliminary Plat (R-1X/PDO
Exhibit B - Preliminary Plat Design Alternative (R -1X)
Recommendation:
The submission of the preliminary plat design alternative responds
to a specific request of the Planning Commission. A decision
regarding a preference between the design alternative and the
previously submitted plat (R-1X/PDO application) is considered a
policy matter to be determined by City officials.
If the City determines that the strict provisions of the R -1A
Zoning District should be upheld, our office recommends approval of
the submitted plat design alternative subject to the following
conditions:
1. The forthcoming final plat include ten foot wide utility
easements centered on rear and other lot lines. Drainage
easements should also be placed over the site's wetlands.
This item should be subject to further comment by the City
Engineer.
2. To avoid a duplication in block number assignment, "Block 3"
in the southeastern portion of the plat is relabeled as Block
5.
3. The wetland in the southeastern corner of the plat and a strip
15 feet wide trail corridor (above the OHWL) be formally
dedicated as park land.
4. Fifteen foot wide trail corridors are provided between Lots 10
and 11, Block 1 and Lots 5 and 6, Block 5.
5. A variance is pursued to accommodate the length of the
subdivision's northerly cul-de-sac.
6. All wetlands are delineated by the Army Corps of Engineers,
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources or persons
recognized as qualified by such agencies.
7. The proposed subdivision is subject to review by the Rice
Creek Watershed District.
2
8. A grading and drainage plan is submitted subject to review and
approval by the City Engineer.
9. A utility plan is submitted subject to review and approval by
the City Engineer.
10. A detailed landscape plan is submitted. Such plan should
identify specific methods of screening the site's perimeter
from adjacent rural uses (i.e., plantings, fencing, berming).
11. If applicable, a phasing plan is submitted subject to City
approval.
12. Comments from other City staff.
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Lot Configuration. The preliminary plat design alternative
reflects the strict provisions of the property's R -1X zoning
designation. Generally speaking, the proposed lot configuration is
highly similar to that shown on the previously submitted
preliminary plat (see Exhibits A and B). Adherence to the R -1X lot
provisions has, however, resulted in a reduction in the total
number of lots within the design alternative. A comparative
summary is provided below:
Preliminary Plat
(R-1X/PDO
R -1X Design
Alternative
R -1X)
Block 1 29 lots 27 lots
Block 2 21 lots 20 lots
Block 3 14 lots 12 lots
Block 4 10 lots 8 lots
Block 5 50 lots 37 lots*
TOTAL 124 lots 104 lots
*Block is incorrectly labeled on Concept Plan
As shown above, the imposition of the strict R -1X lot performance
standards has resulted in a loss of 20 lots from the previous plat
submission.
3
Lot Performance Standards. Within the design alternative, all
proposed lots have been found to meet or exceed the following R -1X
minimum lot area, width and depth requirements.
Requirement
Lot Area 12,825 square feet
Lot Width
Interior 90 feet
Corner 115 feet
Lot Depth 135 feet*
* 145 foot lot depth required for double frontage lots.
Setbacks. Within R -1X districts, the following setbacks are
imposed:
Front Yard
Side Yard
Rear Yard
Required Setback
30 feet
10 feet
30 feet
All proposed lots demonstrate an ability to meet applicable R -1X
setbacks as identified above.
Wetlands. The configuration of the site's wetlands on the plat
design alternative differ slightly from those depicted on the
previous preliminary plat submission. Of specific issue is the
wetland(s) located along the site's southern border. As a
condition of plat approvali this issue should be resolved.
As required by the City Zoning Ordinance, all wetlands must be
delineated by the Army Corps of Engineers, Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources, or persons recognized as qualified by such
agencies. In addition, the plat must be subject to review by the
Rice Creek Watershed District.
Streets. Generally speaking, the proposed street configuration of
the preliminary plat design alternative is highly similar to that
shown on the previous plat submittal. To accommodate R -1X lot
width provisions, however, some slight modifications to the street
configuration have taken place.
4
In reference to the previous plan submittal (Exhibit A), the
following changes have been made:
• Omission of cul-de-sac providing access to Lots 12, 13, 14 and
15, Block 2.
• Omission of cul-de-sac providing access to Lots 7, 8, 9 and
10, Block 5.
• Omission of cul-de-sac providing access to Lots 14, 15, 16, 17
and 18, Block 5.
• Shortening of cul-de-sac in northern portion of Block 5.
The proposed street modifications do not adversely impact the
subdivision's circulation and are considered acceptable.
While the proposed street modifications are considered acceptable,
a number of street related concerns identified in the previous plat
submission remain with the preliminary plat design alternative.
1. Holly Drive. Holly Drive, which bisects the subject site, has
been designated a "collector" street by the City's
Thoroughfare Plan. Reflective of its classification, the City
Engineer has recommended that the street's existing 66 foot
right-of-way width be increased to 80 feet. In this regard,
an additional seven feet of right-of-way should be dedicated
on each side of the street.
2. Cul -De -Sac Length. At ± 1,200 feet in length, the
subdivision's northerly cul-de-sac significantly exceeds the
City's maximum 500 foot cul-de-sac length requirement. Such
cul-de-sac length is due to the configuration of the subject
property and area wetland containment. In this regard, the
proposed cul-de-sac length is considered justified for the
following reasons:
a. The subject property may not be put to reasonable use if
the City's 500 foot cul-de-sac length requirement is
imposed.
. b. Circumstances unique to the property were not created by
the landowner.
c. The hardship is not economic in nature.
d. The allowance of the proposed cul-de-sac length will not
impair area property values.
e. The allowance of the cul-de-sac will be in keeping with
the spirit and intent of the Ordinance.
5
If the PDO zoning application is not to be utilized, the proposed
cul-de-sac length may only be accommodated via variance.
Drainage and Utility Easements. The forthcoming final plat should
include 10 foot wide utility easements centered on rear and other
lot lines. In addition, drainage easements should be placed over
the site's wetlands. This item should be subject to further
comment by the City Engineer.
Grading and Drainage. In accordance with Ordinance submission
requirements, a grading plan should be submitted for review. Such
grading plan will be subject to review and comment by the City
Engineer.
Parks/Trails. The subject plat does not include any park land
dedication. In review of the submitted preliminary plat, the City
Park Board had recommended the following at its 2 May 1994 meeting:
1. A 15 foot wide trail dedication be provided between Lots 10
and 11, Block 1 and between Lots 5 and 6, Block 5.
2. The wetland located in the extreme southeastern corner of the
plat and a 15 foot wide strip above the wetlands OHWL are
formally dedicated as park land.
Utility Plan. As required by Ordinance, a utility plan must be
submitted for review. The plan shall be subject to review and
comment by the City Engineer.
Five Acre Exception. The plat design alternative does not provide
for a future street extension through the five acre exception which
lies west of the subject plat. Such access omission is intended to
respond to property owner opposition to the street extension. To
be specifically noted is that development of the five acre parcel
will require sole access from Holly Drive.
Landscaping. In consideration of the previous plat submission,
concerns were raised in regard to the intrusion of urban type uses
into adjacent rural areas., To fully address this issue, it is
recommended that a landscape plan be submitted which identifies
specific methods of screening the perimeter of the subject site
(i.e., plantings, berming, fencing).
Phasing. If the proposed subdivision is to be developed in phases,
a phasing plan must be submitted subject to City approval.
6
CONCLUSION
A decision regarding the appropriateness of the R-1X/PDO
application to the subject property is considered strictly a matter
of City policy.
If the City determines that the strict provisions of the R -1X
zoning district should be upheld, our office would recommend
approval of the plat design alternative subject to the conditions
listed in the Executive Summary of this report.

1. promote and secure the prompt development of property in Development
District No. 1 in a manner consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and with minimal
adverse impact on the environment, which property is currently less productive because
of the lack of proper utilization and lack of investment, thus promoting and securing the
development of other land in the City;

The Authority's specific objective in establishing TIF District No. 1-6 is to assist the
developer of a proposed 6,000 square feet warehouse facility. The facility will be a national
distribution center for a company manufacturing agricultural and horticultural pumps. The
Authority intends to assist the project by using tax increment to pay for special assessments
which have been levied against the property by the City.
D. State of Public Purpose. In adopting the Plan for TIF District No. 1-6, the
Authority and the City will make the following findings:
1. Anticipated development would not reasonably be expected to occur solely
through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and, therefore, the use
of '11P is deemed necessary;
2. The TIF Plan will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound
needs of the City as a whole, for development of the Project by private enterprise; and
RHB72360
LN190-29 2
whole.
3. The 111, Plan conforms to general plans for development of the City as a
4. The area included within TIF District No. 1-6 qualifies as an economic
development TIF district within the meaning of the TIF Act.
The conclusions to be reached by the Authority and the City Council regarding the above
will be based upon the recommendations of city staff and the planning and zoning board
as well as the familiarity of members of the Authority and City Council with the property
involved and the likelihood that the property will develop within the reasonably
foreseeable future solely through private efforts.
E. Development District Program. The Authority adopted a Program for
Development District No. 1 on January 26, 1987. The plan for development of the City outlined
in the Program will continue to provide the basis of the Authority's efforts to develop portions
of the community which have not and remain unlikely to be developed solely through private
efforts. The Authority does not propose to modify the Program at this time. This Plan for TIF
District No. 1-6 is consistent with the Program for Development District No. 1.
F. Description of TIF District. Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-6 will consist
of a single parcel of land. The legal description of the property within TIF District No. 1-6 is
listed on Exhibit A. A map of the boundaries of TIF District No. 1-6 is attached hereto as
Exhibit B.
G. Development District Contracts. The Authority has not yet entered into a
development contract with regard to the development of any property within 1'J1- District No. 1-6.
The Authority is currently negotiating a contract with the developer, UDOR U.S.A., Inc., a
manufacturer of agricultural and horticultural pumps. The Authority expects to complete
negotiations and to authorize execution of a contract with UDOR U.S.A., Inc. by the time this
111 Plan is approved by the City Council. Contracts regarding property within TIF District No.
1-6 will be entered into in accordance with section 469.176, subd 5 of the TIF Act.
H. Classification of TIF District. TIF District No. 1-6 qualifies as an economic
development TIF district, pursuant to section 469.174, subd. 11 of the TIF Act. Virtually all of
the 6000 sq. ft. within the proposed facility will be a warehouse for the agricultural and
horticultural pumps manufactured by the developer in Italy or office space directly related thereto.
I. Modification of TIF Plan. The Plan for TIF District No. 1-6 may be modified by
the Authority, provided that any enlargement of the geographic area of the TIF District, increase
in amount of bonded indebtedness to be incurred, including a determination to capitalize interest
on the debt if that determination was not a part of the original Plan, or to increase or decrease
the amount of interest on the debt to be capitalized, increase in the portion of the captured tax
capacity to be retained by the Authority, increase in total estimated tax increment expenditures
or designation of additional property to be acquired by the Authority shall be approved upon the
notice and after such discussion, public hearing and findings as required for approval of the
original Plan.
J. Use of Tax Increment. Pursuant to section 469.176, subd 4 of the TIF Act, all
revenues derived from TIF District No. 1-6 shall be used in accordance with the TIF Plan. The
revenues shall be used to finance or otherwise pay the capital and administrative costs of
development activities within the Project as identified in the Program and Plan.
K. Excess Tax Increment. Pursuant to section 469.176, subd 2 of the TIF Act, in any
year in which the increment exceeds the amount necessary to pay the costs authorized by the
Plan, the Authority shall use the excess amount to do any of the following, in the order
determined by the Authority:
RHs72360
LN140-29
3
1. prepay any outstanding bonds or other obligations;
2. discharge the pledge of tax increment therefor;
3. pay into an escrow account dedicated to the payment of bonds or other
obligations; or
4. return the excess amount to the Anoka County auditor who shall distribute
the excess amount to the City, the County and school district in direct proportion to their
respective tax capacity rates.
The Authority and the City may also choose to modify the 1 IF Plan in order to provide
for other public improvements or to assist other developers within the Project.
L. Limitation of Increment.
1. No increment shall be paid to the Authority from TIF District No. 1-6 after
three years from the date of certification of the original tax capacity of the property in the
TIF district by the county auditor unless within the three year period (a) bonds have been
issued pursuant to section 469.178 of the 111- Act, or (b) the Authority has acquired
property within TIF District No. 1-6, or (c) the Authority has constructed or caused to be
constructed public improvements within TIF District No. 1-6.
2. If, after four years from the date of certification of the original tax capacity
of TIF District No. 1-6, no demolition, rehabilitation, or renovation of property or other
site preparation, including qualified improvement of a street or right-of-way adjacent to
a parcel but not installation of underground utility service, including sewer or water
systems, have been commenced on a parcel located within TIF District No. 1-6 by the
Authority, or by the owner of the parcel in accordance with the TIF Plan, no additional
increment may be taken from that parcel, and the original tax capacity of that parcel shall
be excluded from the original tax capacity of the TIF District. If one of these activities
subsequently commences, the Authority shall so certify to the county auditor, and the tax
capacity of the property as most recently certified by the commissioner of revenue may
be added to the TIF District.
3. No tax increment shall in any event be paid to the Authority from TIF
District No. 1-6 after nine years from the date of receipt by the Authority of the first
increment or 11 years from the date of approval of the Plan, whichever occurs first
M. Limitation on Administrative Expenses. Pursuant to section 469.176, subd 3 of
the TIF Act, administrative expenses are limited to 10 percent of the total tax increment
expenditures budgeted or actually incurred, whichever is less. Each time the Authority increases
the budget of TIF District No. 1-6, the amount of increment allocated to administrative costs may
be increased as long as the total of administrative expenditures does not exceed 10 percent of the
total budget of the TIF District.
N. Limitation on Boundary Changes. The geographic area of TIF District No. 1-6
may be reduced, but cannot be enlarged after five years following the date of certification of the
original tax capacity by the Anoka county auditor.
0. Relocation. Although no relocation is anticipated, the Authority accepts as binding
its obligations under state law regarding relocation benefits and, if necessary, will administer
relocation services for families, individuals and businesses displaced by public action.
P. Parcels to Be Acquired Within the '1'1F District. The land within TIF District No.
1-6 is currently owned by the City and will be sold to the Developer prior to construction of the
warehouse facility. It is not anticipated that the Authority will acquire any property within 1'11,
District No. 1-6.

UDOR Minor Subdivision
The City wishes to convey an one acre industrial lot in Lino Lakes
Industrial Park to UDOR USA. the land sale is scheduled for July
28, 1994. This land sale will serve to complete extensive economic
development efforts that solicited UDOR to locate in Lino Lakes.
The City had anticipated creating the lot for sale to UDOR via a
replat of the entire Lino Lakes Industrial Park, however, the plat
document will not be completed for Planning Commission review until
August. To meet the city's land sale schedule, the Planning
Commission is requested to review a minor subdivision that
addresses the creation of the UDOR site.
The site is zoned G -I, General Industrial. The City has previously
approved a lot area variance and site plan for UDOR USA-. The
design details of the plat are outlined in the July 7, 1994
Planning Report.

RE: Lino Lakes - UDOR Minor Subdivision
FILE NO: 194.02 - 94.12
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background
The City of Lino Lakes has been working with UDOR USA to have them
locate their industrial facility within the City. In June the City
approved a lot area variance and a site plan for UDOR to locate in
the Apollo Business Park. The City is now scheduled to sell the
land to UDOR on July 28, 1994.
The City was anticipating creating the lot to sell to UDOR through
the platting of the entire business park, however, the work on this
replat is not complete and will not be reviewed until the August
1994 Planning Commission meeting. To meet the City schedule for
the July 28th land sale, the Planning Commission is requested to
review a minor subdivision that addresses only the creation of the
UDOR site.
Recommendation
To facilitate the sale of a one acre lot to UDOR USA, the Planning
Commission is requested to approve a minor subdivision. In review
of the proposed subdivision concept, we recommend approval of the
minor subdivision subject to the following conditions:
5775 Wayzata Blvd. • Suite 555 • St. Louis Park, MN 55416 • (612) 595-9636•Fax. 595-9837
1. The City of Lino Lake proceed with the replat of the balance
of the industrial park in August 1994 to redefine property
lines, vacate existing easement, and clarify legal
descriptions for the remaining land.
2. After the property sale, UDOR be requested to participate in
the industrial park replat to clear up the legal description
and vacate existing easement locations for the UDOR site.
3. The City develop a description for an access easement for
shared driveway to run the length of the lot line between
Parcel A and Parcel C of the minor subdivision. This access
easement must be recorded with the minor subdivision.
4. Ten foot utility easement be identified along all lot lines of
Parcel A.
5. A formal survey document be prepared by the city that
illustrates the proposed subdivision and is recordable with
Anoka County.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Section 1001.2 (13) of the Lino Lake Subdivision Ordinance defines
a minor subdivision as follows:
(13) Minor Subdivision - a subdivision which results in four (4) or
fewer parcels, tracts, or lots from one (1) or two (2)
existing parcels, tracts, or lots. (Amended by Ordinance No.
04 - 90, passed May 29, 1990)
The proposed UDOR Subdivision is consistent with the minor
subdivision definition.
Property Ownership. All the property involved is owned currently
by the City of Lino Lakes. With the approval of the minor
subdivision, the City will convey the newly created Parcel A to
UDOR USA for the development of a first phase 6,000 square foot
industrial facility. The ultimate building development will be
12,000 square feet in area. The balance of the land involved will
be retained by the City and will be included in new subdivision of
the Lino Lakes Industrial Park scheduled to be reviewed by the
Planning Commission in August 1994.
Subdivision Configuration. The proposed subdivision intends to
subdivide portions of existing Lots 7 and 8, Block 2, Lino
Industrial Park that remain after the realignment of the Apollo
Drive right-of-way. The proposed subdivision will create the UDOR
lot (Parcel A) and a lot remnant that is intended to be replatted
with the balance of the industrial park in August.
2
Lot size. the site is zoned G -I, General Industrial with the
following minimum lot standards: lot area - 3 acres, lot width -
200 feet. The proposed UDOR lot was sized to accommodate the
ultimate development of a 12,000 square foot industrial building.
The proposed size of the UDOR parcel is 1 acre with a lot width of
215 feet. The City has approved lot area variances in conjunction
with its approval of the UDOR site plan.
Site Access. The site fronts on Apollo Drive. Access will be
provided by a shared driveway arrangement recommended by the
County. To accommodate the shared access, an access easement must
be provided along the length of the shared lot line between Parcels
A and B. The easement must be provided by the City as a separate
document which will be recorded with the property.
Utilities. Both sanitary sewer and water are available via the
newly improved Apollo Drive.
Easements. The Lino Lake Subdivision Ordinance requires the
establishment of utility easements along all property lines. The
minor subdivision should illustrate 10 foot utility and drainage
easements along all lot lines.
Recording Documents. The submission document to date represents
only a concept for the minor subdivision. If approval is given, a
formal survey must be prepared in a manner that the subdivision can
be recorded at Anoka County.
CONCLUSION
In the absence of a plat for the entire industrial park, the
Planning Commission is requested to approve minor subdivision that
will create a one acre site for UDOR USA. This will allow the City
to convey this lot to this industry on July 28th. While presented
in concept form, the proposed minor subdivision appears to comply
with City standards and as such approval is recommended subject to
the conditions outlined in the Executive Summary.

Recommendation
Based on the following review,
the Pine Ridge 3rd Addition
following conditions:
our office recommends approval of
Preliminary Plat subject to the
1. The subdivis is reconfigured such that Lots 1 and 2, Block
1 are prod internal access from the subdivision. This
issue should be subject to further comment by the City
Engineer.
2. The City Engineer provide comment/recommendation in regard to
right-of-way dedication associated with Ware Road and the need
for a financial security for the eventual upgrading of Ware
Road
3. The side lot line separating Lots iF and 1, Block 1 is
reconfigured to lie radial to the adjacent cul-de-sac.
4. The subdivision's cul-de-sac is specifically named. Such
street name shall be subject to City approval.
5. The proposed wetland mitigation plan is subject to approval by
the Army Corps of Engineers and Rice Creek Watershed District.
6. The lot layout shown on the submitted grading and drainage
plan is changed to match the lot configuration shown on the
preliminary plat. The grading and drainage plan shall be
subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
7. A utility plan is submitted subject to review and approval by
the City Engineer.
8. Ten foot wide utility easements are provided along rear and
other lot lines. This issue should be subject to .comment/
recommendation by the City Engineer.
9. The City Engineer provide comment/recommendation in regard to
drainage easement establishment.
10. The City Park Board provide comment/recommendation in regard
to park and trail dedication.
11. Comments from other City staff.

ISSUES ANALYSIS
Density. Within R -1X Zoning Districts, the maximum number of
dwelling units per acre must not exceed three. The proposed plat
contains 19 lots at a density of 1.9 units per acre. As such, the
proposed density conforms to Ordinance standards.
Blocks. According to the City subdivision Ordinance, blocks shall
have a maximum length of 1,500 feet and a minimum length of 400.
Both proposed blocks within the subdivision comply with required
block length standards.
Lot Depth. According to the Zoning Ordinance, lots within R -1X
Districts must provide 135 feet of depth. All proposed lots have
been found to meet this requirement.
Lot Area. According to City policy, lot area calculations must
exclude all waterbodies. In this regard, all lots must provide at
least 12,825 square feet of lot area (R -1X standard) exclusive of
waterbodies. All proposed lots have been found to meet or exceed
minimum R -1X lot area requirements (see Exhibit F for reference).
Lot Width. Within R -1X Zoning District, a minimum lot width of 90
feet is required for interior lots and a minimum of 115 feet is
required for corner lots. All proposed lots have been found to
meet minimum lot width requirements.
Setbacks. All lots successfully demonstrate an ability to
accommodate the following R -1X Zoning District setbacks.
Front Yard 30 Feet
Side Yard - Interior 10 Feet
- Corner 30 Feet
Rear Yard 30 Feet
Lot Configuration. Generally speaking, the proposed lot
configuration is considered positive and responds to the site's
design parameters (i.e., wetlands). One concern which does exist
relates to Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 in the northwest corner of the
plat. As shown on Exhibit C, these lots will be required to obtain
'access from Ware Road and lie isolated from the balance of the
subdivision's lots. While Ware Road itself is classified as a
local street (per 1987 Transportation Plan), the street is listed
on the City's Municipal State Aid (MSA) System and is expected to
accommodate significant traffic volumes in the future. Although
the existence of direct single family lot access is acknowledged
along Ware Road both north and south of the subject site, such
access condition should not justify the proliferation of a genuine
safety problem.
3
The City in past plat reviews required lots to be accessed through
an internal streets to protect more heavily travelled street
corridors. Most recently, Fox Trace was required to modify its
plat to avoid direct lot access onto Ware Road.
Emphasizing the isolation of Lots 1 and 2 is the need to extend
utilities from the proposed cul-de-sac along side lot lines to
serve Lots 1 and 2. This long utility extension would become a
City owned utility with the final plat approval. We would express
concerns with regard to the maintenance and upkeep of this sewer
line which would require the disruption of private yards. The City
Engineer should comment on the acceptability of the utility
arrangement.
Based on the aforementioned issues, we would suggest that the
preliminary plat should be reconfigured so as not to isolate said
Lots 1 and 2 from the balance of the subdivision. This issue
should be subject to further comment by the City Engineer.
One additional concern in regard to lot configuration relates to
the side lot line separating Lots 8 and 9 of Block 1. According to
Section 1001.08, Subd. 6 (3) of the Subdivision Ordinance, side lot
lines must be substantially at right angles to straight street
lines or radial to curved street lines. So as to comply with the
provisions of the ordinance, the side lot line separating Lots 8
and 9, Block 1 should be reconfigured to lie radial to the adjacent
cul-de-sac.
Streets. The proposed street layout has to a large extent been
dictated by existing development which surrounds the subject
property. In this regard, the street configuration is considered
generally acceptable. While it is acknowledged that the
subdivision's street configuration is influenced by the site's
wetland locations, interior street access should be provided to
Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 if at all possible. All proposed streets are
shown to provide appropriate right-of-way widths and cul-de-sac
lengths. The City Engineer should provide comment in regard to
specific right-of-way dedication requirements associated with Ware
Road and the need for any financial security for the eventual
upgrading of Ware Road.
While the subdivision's east/west street shall exist as simply an
extension of Coyote Trail, the subdivision's cul-de-sac has not
been specifically named. Such cul-de-sac should be named as part
of the forthcoming final plat submission. Such street name shall
be subject to City approval.
Wetlands. As shown on Exhibit E, the subject site contains two
wetlands/drainageways. Some mitigation of the wetland/drainageway
will likely be necessary to accommodate the proposed extension of
Coyote Trail. As a condition of preliminary plat approval, the
submitted wetland mitigation plan (incorporated in grading and
4
drainage plan) must be approved by both the Army Corps of Engineers
and the Rice Creek Watershed District.
Grading and Drainage. In accordance with City subdivision
regulations, a grading, drainage and erosion control plan has been
submitted for review. To be noted, however, is that the lot layout
depicted on the grading plan does not match the layout depicted.
Whereas, the preliminary plat depicts 115 foot wide corner lots,
the grading plan illustrates 110 foot wide corner lots. As a
condition of preliminary plat approval, the lot layout illustrated
on the grading plan should match that shown on the preliminary
plat. The grading, drainage and erosion control plan shall be
subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
Utilities. As a condition of preliminary plat approval, a utility
plan must be submitted. Such plan must demonstrate how all
proposed lots are to be serviced and shall be subject to review and
approval of the City Engineer.
Easements. According to the City Subdivision Ordinance, easements
at least 10 feet wide (centered on rear and other lot lines) must
be provided for utilities where necessary. In addition, easements
for drainage purposes must be provided when determined necessary.
While the submitted preliminary plat has appropriately provided
easements over the property's two drainageway/wetland areas,
additional easements for utilities and drainage must be provided.
This issue should be subject to further comment by the City
Engineer.
Park/Trail Dedication. As shown on Exhibit C, a 12 foot wide trail
corridor has been proposed along the subject plat's northern
border. Such trail would constitute a westerly extension of an
existing trail corridor. The acceptability of the proposed trail
location, as any other park/trail dedication requirements should be
subject to the recommendation by the City -Park Board.
CONCLUSION
Based on the preceding review, our office recommends approval of
the Pine Ridge 3rd Addition Preliminary plat subject to the
conditions' listed in the Executive Summary of this report.

AGENDA ITEM G
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Dan Licht
DATE: July 7, 1994
TOPIC: Zoning Amendment - L -I, G -I
Lot and Yard Requirements
.........................................
..........................................
.........................................
A draft Zoning Ordinance amendment which would reduce the minimum
lot width requirements of Light Industrial and General Industrial
Districts and reduce the minimum lot size requirement within a
General Industrial District. In addition, the amendment creates an
exception to the Ordinance standard regarding side yard setback
requirements of driveway.
The preparation of this draft amendment was prompted by a desire to
provide the City with more flexibility with regards to encouraging
economic development. By altering the lot width in both districts
and reducing the minimum lot size in the General Industrial
District, the City will achieve greater marketability for land
because the of ability of the land to accommodate different types
and sizes of businesses.
1. Approve amendments outlined in Memorandum with draft Ordinance
dated 7 July 1994.
2. Refer to staff for further consideration.

AGENDA ITEM 9
STAFF ORIGINATOR Randy Schumacher
DATE July 8, 1994
TOPIC Consideration of Amending Current Insurance Coverage to
Add Accident Coverage for City Volunteers and Board
Members
The City insurance policy currently does not have insurance coverage for volunteers
or Board Members(Park Board, Planning and Zoning, Economic Development Advisory
Board).
Volunteer Accident Coverage
The cost to add coverage for volunteers would be .10 per capita or approximately
$1,300.
This volunteer coverage would includes
1.Disability of $400/week up to 26 weeks
2.Death benefit of $100,000
3.Permanent impairment based on % of Disability $750 - $100,000
At this time, the City wishes to not purchase the additional medical reimbursement
coverage ($585.00) or construction/demolition coverage($435/project) for volunteers.
Optional Accident Policy for Board Members
The cost of this limited coverage is $12.75 per person.
This limited accident coverage would include:
1.Dismemberment maximum of $100,000
2.Total disability benefit, $400 per week, with a maximum of 26 weeks
3.Death benefit of $100,000
All members of the board must be covered. The coverage cannot be offered on an
individual choice basis.
OPTION:
.............................
.............................
a.
Provide optional volunteer accident coverage for city volunteers at .10 per
capita, and provide optional accident coverage for board members at $12.75
per person.
b. Provide no coverage to City volunteers or City board members at this time.

To: cities and agents - L?(CIT workers aompeneation program
From: L14CIT Board of Trustees
Re: Accident coverage for city volunteers
The LMCIT Board of Trustees is pleased to announce a naw program
to provide accident protection to city volunteers. This program
provides a schedule of benefits to compensate city volunteers
who are injured while performing volunteer services for the
city. This optional coverage is available to member cities of
the LMCIT workers compensation program.
Whom will the new program cover?
With only a few exceptions, all city volunteers working under
the city's direction and control will be automatically covered
on a blanket basis if the city chooses to add this coverage.
This could include, for example, coaches and instructors in
recreation programs, volunteers working on a city -sponsored
festival or celebration, Nclean-up day' volunteers, etc. The
city will not need to list the individuals who are to be
covered, either by name or by project; nor will the city need to
keep track of the time the various volunteers put in.
There are four classes of volunteers Who would not be
automatically covered:
1. Volunteers who are covered by workers compensation.
Certain volunteers are defined to be "employees" for
purposes of workers compensation, and are therefor
eligible for workers compensation benefits if they are
injured. These include volunteer firefighters, ambulance
attendants, first responders, law enforcement assistance
volunteers, and civil defense volunteers. Since these
volunteers are already protected by workers compensation,
they are not covered under this plan.
2. City council, board, committee, and commission
members. Other coverage options are already available
for these people. The workers compensation law gives
cities the option to extend workers compensation coverage
to elected and appointed officials. LMCIT has also for
several years offered an accident policy underwritten by
CIGNA for members of city councils, boards, and ,
committees. (.

construction or demolition project.
the
What benefits would an injured volunteer receive?
The plan will provide three basic benefits:
1. Disability benefit. A volunteer who is unable to
engage in the aatiiites of his/her normal occupation
because of en injury suffered while performing volunteer
services for the city will receive a disability benefit of
$400/week for up to 26 weeks.
2. Death benefit. If a volunteer dies as a result of
an in3ury suffered while performing volunteer services for
the city, a death benefit of $100,000 will be paid to the
volunteer's survivors or estate.
3. Impairment benefit. .If a volunteer suffers a
permanent impairment or disability es a result of an
injury suffered while performing volunteer services for
the city, the volunteer will receive a lump sum payment as
compensation for that impairment. Payments are based on
the percentage of disability, ranging from $750 for a 1%
disability to $100,000 for 1004 disability. The
percentage of disability is determined in the same manner
used for impairment compensation in the workers
compensation system.
For an additional charge the city can add coverage for up to
$1000 of medical costs. This limited medical coverage is
intended to pick up relatively` minor first aid costs. On amore
serious injuries, it could also be applied to costa 'which the
individual would otherwise have to bear undo/ bis/her•own health
coverage's .deductible or co -pay provisions.
What does it cost?
The cost is based on the city's population. The basic annual
charge is $.lo per capita, subject to a minimum premium of $150
and a maximum premium of $1300. The additional post to add the
optional medical coverage is 45% of the basic premium. Coverage
for volunteers working on a construction or demolition project
can be added for a charge of $300 per project, or 5435 per
project if the optional medical coverage is included.
6125917404 BERKLEY EBA F-155 T-056 P-004/006 OCT 14 '91 13:26
The expiration date of this coverage will be coordinated with
the city's LMCIT workers compensation coverage. For cities that
add this coverage mid-term, the initial premium will be
pro -rated.
Why would the city want this coverage? Aren't injuries to
volunteers already covered under the city's liability coverage?
An injury to a volunteer would be covered by the IMCIT liability
coverage only if the city was legally liable for that injury;
that is, if the injury was caused by some negligence by the city
or a city officer or employee or another city volunteer.
However, just as with any other tort claim, the city would not
be liable for en injury to a volunteer if the volunteer
him/herself were more at fault than the city, or if the injury
were simply an accident that really wasn't an one's fault. A
volunteer coach being hit in the heed by a batted baseball might
be an example of the latter situation.
The volunteer accident coverage protects the volunteer on a
"no-fault" basis. The benefits are automatically payable if the
injury occurs while the volunteer is performing cervices for the
city, regardless of whose fault it was. Besides protecting the
volunteer whose injury isn't caused by the city's negligence,
having these no-fault benefits available could also help avoid .
litigation in cases where the city (or a city officer, employee,
or other volunteer) is or may be at fault. The injured
volunteer can receive these benefits without getting into an
adversary situation against the dity. Of course, if the
volunteer's injuries exceeded the benefits paid under this
coverage, he/she would still be able to make a tort claim
against the city for those excess damages, if the injury was
caused by the city's negligence.
Why did LMCIT create a whole new _program? Why not just offer e
"voluntary workers compensation endorsement" andprovide workers
compensation benefits to volunteers?
The LMCIT Board chose this approach for several reasons. First,
this approach is substantially less expensive to the city 'than
providing workers compensation benefits would be. The basic
premiums are roughly a fifth of the cost of workers compensation
benefits, reflecting the more limited scope of benefits
provided.
Second, administration iia simpler for the city, since the city
doesn't have to keep records of how many hours were worked by
how many volunteers, etc.
Third, it eliminates the problem of determining what the
appropriate indemnity rate is for an unpaid volunteer. (This is
particularly problematic with volunteers who don't have other
paying employment.)

BERKLEY RBA F-155 T-056 P-005/006 OCT 14 '91 13:2?
Fourth, providing voluntaryworkers compensation coverage would
create a potentially unlimited risk for LMCIT, since the
reinsurance LMCIT purchases from the state workers compensation
reinsurance association wouldn't apply to this exposure. The
LHCIT Board was very concerned about the danger of assuming an
open-ended risk that conceivably could jeopardize the financial
stability of the entire pool in•a catas rophic-situation.
How do we enroll?
To enroll, complete the attached form and return it to Berkley
Administrators. (Don't worry, this isn't bomeone new. ERA has
just changed its name. It's still the same company that has
administered LMCIT's Workers compensation program since 1980.)
They will bill the city for the premium.

ENROLLMENT WILL BE OPEN DURING THE MONTH OF JANUARY FOR LMCIT'S
ACCIDENT POLICY FOR MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCILS AND OTHER CITY
BOARDS, COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS.
This accident coverage is provided by CIGNA, and provides a
lower-cost alternative to workers compensation coverage. By
statute, elected officials and officers appointed for a fixed
term of office are covered by workers compensation only if the
city has passed an ordinance or resolution to that effect.
The accident coverage applies while the individual is traveling
to or from a committee meeting, or while conducting other
official business on behalf of and at the request of the
committee. The coverage provides a $100,000 accidental death
benefit and a $400/week short-term benefit for total disability.
While this accident policy was developed as a lower-cost
alternative to providing workers compensation coverage, it is
important to understand that the benefits are not equivalent to
those of workers compensation. Some of the differences are that
it does not include medical, rehabilitation, or retraining
benefits; disability and death benefits are fixed, rather than
being based on the individual's actual earnings; disability
benefits are paid only for total disability, and for a maximum of
26 weeks; and the accident policy disability benefits may be
taxable income to the individual.
The city may provide coverage for any city boards, commissions,
or committees it designates. However, all members of the
respective board or commission must be covered; that is, the
coverage cannot be offered on an individual choice basis.
The cost of the accident coverage is $12.75 per person per year.
(By comparison, LMCIT's current minimum rate for workers
compensation coverage for council members is $122 per person per
year.) The accident policy coverage year runs March 1 to
February 28.
Additional information and application forms are enclosed. For
questions concerning the coverage or to put coverage into effect,

Suite 750, Minneapolis, MN 55402; (612) 339-7385.
