The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Planning and Zoning Board was
called to order at 8:25 P.M. May 15, 1974. Chairman Karth was absent.
Vice -Chairman Shearen called the meeting to order. Members present; Hill,
L'Allier. Absent; Karth, Kelling, Nadeau, Rothbauer. Mr. Marier was
also present.
Due to a lack of a quorum, the minutes of the April meeting could not
be approved or corrected. This was tabled until June 19, 1974. The
people who were in attendance were informed that their questions could
be answered but no decisions could be made at this meeting.
Mr. Prokop, who owns lots in Otter Lake Hills and wishes to build on
these lots was here to ask what was necessary to bring that street up
to City codes in order for him to obtain a building permit. These lots
are located on Lakeview Avenue. At the present time the street only
exists on the plat. There has been some excavating done in the area
of the street, but this was done by a man hauling the soil out for fill
in another area.
It was suggested that he contact the adjoining property owners and
ask that the share the cost of surfacing the street. This could be
done either by the property owners paying the cost of having the street
surfaced or it could be done by special assessments against the abutting
lots.
Mr. Prokop will contact the Clerk's office for the Ordinance dealing
with street installation. He will also contact the other property owners
for their thoughts on how this can be done. He thanked the Board for
the information.
Mr. Bill Meyer of Suburban 7.ngineering, presented the Board with the
plans for a driveway to the townhouse units in Country Lakes. There
was discussion on the fact that this is a private driveway. The Board
felt that they woul`rather see a permanent street installed. Mr.
Meyer that if a permanent street is installed the utility services
should be installed before the surface is installed. If the services
aren't put in first this would this would mean tearing up the surface
and doing the street again thus doubling the cost.
The Board suggested that he look at some alternate plans and return to
the next Planning and Zoning Board meeting.
iir. Meyer said he would do this and asked the Clerk to put him on the
agenda for the June 19th meeting.
Mr. Kenneth Rehbein and Mr. Jerry Blackbird were here for information
dealing with the Pine Haven plat. Mr. Rehbein said that the recommenda-
tions of both the Engineer and the Pianner was that they only build on
every lot. The streets in the area will cost $32,000.00 and if they
can only build on every other lot, they cannot afford to complete this
-2 -
plat. Since the timing for sewer in this area is unknown, they felt
that having half of these lots sitting empty for X number of years is
unfeasible.
Mr. Blackbird said that the area had been approved for 118 apartment
units. This was approved on the basis of the soil borings done at
that time. t•lr. Rebbein felt if this Board indicated approval of build-
ing on every lot, then this would be allowed.
The Board thought that at this point the perc tests are the next step
that Mr. Rehbein should take. The Board felt that the borings that were
done for the other project were too old to be considered for the new
plat.
Mr. Rehbein said he would take care of this. He will also contact
Mr. Gotwald and will get back to the Planning and Zoning Board.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
