1.7309 Lake Drive, Exterior Storage–
Attorney Rod Krass, representing the property
17
owneraddressed the council. In his review of the situation, it appears that there is a
18
perception (by the City) that his client is using the property to store items. However the
19
primary use of the property is not for storage but to run a business that rents units to
20
construction sites. Beyond that clarification, Mr. Krass explained that the rights of
21
“grandfathering” a property use come into play. The use of the property has remained
22
consistent and therefore even a non-conforming use, if itcontinues, is eligible for
23
grandfather rights.
24
25
Mayor Reinert suggested that what the council is interested in hearing is how the use of
26
the facility can conform to the city’s existing regulations. Mr. Krass responded that he
27
isn’t sure that the use can be conforming since part of the business that exists there
28
requires storing the equipment when not in use.
29
30
Propertyowner Bob Salmentold the council that he doesn’t have latitude as far as the
31
business because he is under a lease/contract. He can’t change thebusiness. The city
32
can’t decide when a grandfather right ends –that right only ends when the use stops for
33
at least one year.
34
35
Community Development Director Grochala explained some of the history of use. The
36
occupant previous to the current was a landscaping company. A transition occurred to
37
the current use of providing contactor offices with outdoor storage. City Attorney
38
Langel added that the grandfathering right disappears after one year of not having the use.
39
In this situation, a conditional use permit is required for the accessory use that has
40
occurred in the past, however, that was not enforced by the city. The point is that it is no
41
longer an accessory use but a primary use (the outside storage). Even if the primary
42
business isn’t storage, the storage activity found at the property is not in compliance.Mr.
43
Salmon argued that the use is not greater than it was. Mr. Langel disagreed and
44
explained that this is a question of accessory use (that could be allowed under
45
1
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSIONSeptember 3, 2013
DRAFT
grandfathering) or a primary use where there are literally acres of pods stored outsideat
46
the facility.
47
48
Mr. Salmen noted that the previous occupant kept their equipment outside and the
49
landscaping companies that followed did the same thing. He has made costly
50
improvements to the property, at the request of the city. Mr. Krass added that he sees the
51
current storage as an accessory use –they are only leasing a few acres. The use comes
52
from the business and the business has use of their property to hold their business items;
53
they are not being paid to store items.
54
55
Mayor Reinert pointed out that the council isn’t opposed to Mr. Salmen doing business in
56
the city –they’re just trying to get the facts. He sees two issues –is the current use a new
57
one and whether or not there’s been a year’s lapse in use.
58
59
Mr. Grochala noted that visual evidence and witness accounts show that thelandscaping
60
use was a change because the outdoor use dropped off. Staff has met with
61
representatives of the business, Mini Mobile, and found they occupied the site in October
62
of 2012 (occupied office at thattime) with their business described as “rental” business.
63
Mr. Grochala said it’s not clear that the business is allowedin the zoning district; outside
64
storage as part of the business is clearly not allowed. Mr. Langel pointed out that the
65
type of usehere has been zoned out. The location is zoned light industrial and it is
66
located near a school and residential area. The storage is a part of the business operations
67
but at a high magnitude that he sees as a primary use.
68
69
The Mayor said he’d like to see more information showing the pastuse of the property.
70
Mr. Salmen has a lease history that he will share. Mr. Langel remarked that the fact that
71
companies have leased the property doesn’t show the use and he’d want to see evidence
72
proving outdoor storage existed without a year’s gap of that use.
73
74
Staff will return to the council with additional information.
75
76
2.Emmerich PUD Concept Plan–
Community Development Director Grochala
77
explained that the city has received an application for a planned unitdevelopment (PUD)
78
on the east side of the city. Using a projector, he reviewed the area and proposed plans.
79
The area involved is guided for medium density residential development and the concept
80
plan submitted includes a mix of homes to achieve the required density. The
81
development is mostly single family homes, some townhomes and an age restricted
82
apartment building. The development would be phased out through 2020. He explained
83
where water and sewer would be connected. Generally the area doesn’t include a lot of
84
natural habitat but they have established a flood plain and park area.
85
86
Developer representative Larry Olsen told the council he is interested in hearing
87
comments on the concept plan so the developer can use that information as they plan
88
forward.
89
90
2
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSIONSeptember 3, 2013
DRAFT
Mr. Grochala noted some similarity with homes in nearby “The Lakes” development in
91
Blaine. The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed that element and found it favorable.
92
Council Member Rafferty asked that the council receive that comparison information
93
also. The mayor had some questions about access and screening that were answered by
94
the developer. Council Member Roeser asked about the cost of the single family homes
95
and was told they would probably be in the range of $300,000 to $350,000. The mayor
96
asked that the council receive renderings as soon as possible; visual is good. The council
97
discussed how park land would be included. Council Member Stoesz asked about the
98
feasibility of placing empty conduit under the development, planning ahead for future
99
technology possibilities. Mr. Grochala explained that such efforts in other areas haven’t
100
panned out too well; directional drilling seems to be what’s done now. Council Member
101
Rafferty asked if a homeowners association will be considered and Mr. Olsen said
102
definitely for the townhomes but not so much for the single family. The use of covenants
103
for some control is possible but he doesn’t anticipate a lot of tolerance to things at this
104
price range.
105
106
The plans are informational at this point with no action required from the council. The
107
developer will be back with more information as they move ahead.
108
109
3. Accessory Building Requirements
–Community Development Director Grochala
110
indicated thatthe council requested staff put together information on the city’s
111
regulations regarding residential accessory buildings, in response to a neighbor concern
112
about a specific situation. He reviewed his written report that outlines the city’s
113
regulations, noting that generally the regulations follow lot size. The specific situation
114
that the council was notified about was checked by staff and found to be within the city’s
115
ordinance; there could be a covenant in place relative to the area and that would be a civil
116
matter.
117
118
The concerned resident whose neighbor is constructing a large accessory building
119
addressed the council. He explained that there are covenants within the neighborhood but
120
he would have to sue for enforcement. He’s tried to work it out with the neighbor but
121
they haven’t been able toreach an agreement. The mayor noted that it may be time for
122
the city to review the regulations; looking at this situation, the city may be allowing
123
structures that aren’t appropriate in residential areas. The resident replied that he concurs
124
with the council looking at the city’s ordinance; he’s looked at other city’s rules through
125
this whole process and he thinks the city may be somewhat out of line. Council Member
126
Rafferty pointed out that the property at hand is pretty typical and he’s surprised at the
127
size of accessory building that would be allowed. Director Grochala indicated that staff
128
will bring the city’s regulations to the council for review, but will run them by the
129
Planning and Zoning Board first. Council Member Roeser indicated interest in assisting
130
communities with their covenant process, perhaps with a boiler plate.
131
132
4.Snowmobile Trail at Lake St. & Main St.–
Bill Prinsen, President of the Rice
133
Creek Trail Association, gave the council written information onthe association’s
134
concern about getting snowmobile traffic safely across I35W and use of County Road 14
135
3
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSIONSeptember 3, 2013
DRAFT
during road construction at CR 14 and CR 23. He explained what the trail system is
136
about, how it is interconnected and how they now have a disconnect because a County
137
permit allowing two-way traffic has ended. The change results in a 15 mile reroute.
138
They see the pedestrian bridge (over I35W) as an interesting possibility. Mayor Reinert
139
noted that the city doesn’t control the bridge but could no doubt make a
140
request/recommendation to the controlling entity. Community Development Director
141
Grochala suggested that the association should apply for use of the bridge and the city
142
could then send a letter as directed by the council.
143
144
5.Temporary Signs–
Mayor Reinert explained that the council has certainly had
145
discussions about signs before –this in particular is about signage for local events. He
146
noted that the city’s regulations currently allow four signs per year on a quarterly basis.
147
He wonders why the regulations couldn’t just allow four times without the timing
148
restriction.
149
150
Diane Olson, Gesthemane Church, introduced herself as the new pastor. As a newcomer
151
to the scene, what she’s seeing is that the sign regulations don’t seem to be enforced(or
152
obeyed) on a fair basis and people are angry at the unfairness. The work of churches in
153
the community is to make things better so they are a positive influenceand work on a
154
small budget. In the case of her church, there is also a day care business present in the
155
building that can’t advertise. The church would like to be able to put up signs on their
156
own property when they wish.
157
158
Community Development Director Grochala remarked that sign regulations in general are
159
very frustrating and that situation isn’t unique to Lino Lakes. He explained where
160
churches fit into the city’s regulations and also that permanent signs are considered
161
differently from temporary in the regulations. There are free speech questions that come
162
to play also. When looking at this situation, it’s important to note that even if there’s a
163
desire to do so, itwouldn’t be legal to treat churches differently for the purpose of
164
regulations. If there is unfair enforcement, that is certainly not the intent of the city.
165
166
Mayor Reinert suggested that the city shouldn’t dictate timing. He suggests that the
167
Planning and Zoning Board look at the matter and perhaps increase the times allowed and
168
perhaps more flexibility for an entity operating under the same roof.
169
170
6.Wireless Communications Update
-PublicServices Director DeGardner
171
distributed a report that updated the council on the wireless communication network in
172
the city. He noted that one company will be terminating their water tower leases with a
173
loss in revenue to the city. There could be risk in other companies leaving also. A
174
company named Black Dot has approached the city about entering an overall lease for a
175
30-year term, thus taking over existing leases for an upfront payment to the city. He’s
176
talked with people in the business and has heard differing opinions about the future of
177
water tower lease arrangements. He is seeking council input on the matter; if there is
178
interest, he could put together a bid package.
179
180

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSIONSeptember 3, 2013
DRAFT
Mayor Reinert suggested that there is a trend and the city shouldpossiblyrespond,buthe
181
wants to have all the available information and knowledge before making a move.
182
Council Member O’Donnell added that the city should make sure that the lessees are
183
aware of the city’s discussions. He also received assurance that the revenue loss is being
184
properlyconsideredin the coming budget. Council Member Stoesz suggested that lease
185
agreements could be negotiated to include cell phone costs for the city.
186
187
Mr. DeGardner will put together additional information and the council will continue to
188
study the matter.
189
190
7.Salt Storage Shelter Project–
Public Services Director DeGardner and Streets
191
Supervisor Tim Payne reviewed the staff report that explains how the city currently stores
192
its salt mixture in a stockpile (not a best case scenario). The Public Works Department is
193
transitioning to move away from a salt/sand mixture for streets to salt brine. Equipment
194
is being adapted for this change. Since the City doesn’t have a salt brine production unit,
195
the solution was obtained from the City of Centerville. The City, along with other
196
municipalities in the area, received grant dollars from the Rice Creek Watershed District
197
to assist in reducing chloride on streets (that runs off to area waters).Staff plans to
198
continue integrating the brine anti-icing methods into the city’s winter maintenance
199
operations. Thisproactive approach will assist in reducing chlorides, reducing the
200
amount of necessary plowing and more complete removal of snow. Staff is now
201
proposing a partnership with Anoka County to construct a Salt Storage Shelter at the
202
city’s public works facility. The City’s portion of the costs is proposed to come from the
203
Building and Facilities Fund. The council concurred that staff should move ahead with
204
the project, noting the possibility of providing salt to Centerville.
205
206
8.Upgrade of Financial Software
–Finance Director Rolek explained that the City
207
has been discussing an upgrade and putting money aside for some time. The current
208
software is functional but cannot be updated. He noted that staff has been looking at
209
software possibilities and he reviewed the process used to get to a recommendation (a
210
score card). The costs are presented in his report. The recommendation presented is the
211
system believed to best fit the city’s needs.
212
213
The council discussed the number of users, both finance staff and others that would be
214
“casual” users. Council Member Stoesz asked if there will be a guarantee, if the city
215
chooses the cloud application that it will not be moved off shore and Mr. Rolek
216
responded that he’d have to check further on that question. Council Member Roeser
217
asked about what other cities are using and also if there are possibilities to save on a
218
different system or by going through the network (MetroInet). Council Member Rafferty
219
asked how long the system will last (Mr. Rolek said at least ten years) and about
220
applications that may not be needed. The council discussed system costsand possibilities
221
for economies. Council Member O’Donnell recognized thatMr. Rolek’s research and
222
recommendation is comprehensive and appropriate; he would urge that negotiations occur
223
where that is appropriate for the contract.
224
225

226
227
9.2014 Budget-
Finance Director Rolek reviewed his written 2014 Draft Budget
228
Review report. There are approximately $45,000 in reductions that have occurred –he
229
has reflected the reduction in a reduced levy but could instead put it toward the 2014
230
contingency, reduce the use of reserve or a combination of both. Council Member
231
O’Donnell suggested that since the council is now looking at certifying a preliminary levy
232
number and there are still some budget unknowns, he’d prefer to have the leeway.
233
Council Member Roeser asked about the cost of the state mandated employee pension
234
increase and Mr. Rolek indicated it to be in the range of $2,700.
235
236
The council concurred that the reduction should not be reflected in the levy at this time
237
but held to deal with unknowns if that becomes necessary as the budget is finalized.
238
239
As part of the item, Administrator Karlson had prepared a report that addressed the
240
council’s questions about school, conference and travel expenditures within the 2014
241
budget. Mr. Karlson reviewed the figures, noting the reductionfrom 2013. He noted that
242
many of the credit attained through this type of education are required for licensing and/or
243
accreditation. Council Member Stoesz suggested keeping staff well versed in the area of
244
information technology but doing so without leaving the office. Council Member
245
Rafferty said he continues to have concernsabout the need to attend national events.
246
247
Finance Director Rolek reviewed the 2014 budget actions that would appear on the
248
September 9 council agenda.
249
250
10.Centennial Fire District Budget–
Administrator Karlson noted that the council
251
requested a review of the Fire District budget. He explained the formula used to
252
determine the city’s share of the budget. Mayor Reinert remarked that the council will be
253
doing a drill down onthe budget and services of the district. He noted that the Lino
254
Lakes Police Department does a great job in responding to emergency calls.
255
256
11.Charter Commission Minute Services-
City Clerk Bartell noted that the Lino
257
Lakes Charter Commission has responded to the city’s authorization to utilize
258
TimeSavers for their meeting minutes. The service will continue for the next meeting
259
and TimeSaverswill email the draftminutes to the City Clerk within five days of the
260
Charter Commission meeting.The City Clerk will email the minutes to the Commission
261
as soon as they are received.The City does retain an electronic copy of the draft minutes
262
on file.

PUBLIC COMMENT
19
20
Seirgei Nazaranka, Eagle Liquor, 730 Apollo Drive, urged the council to limit off-sale liquor licenses
21
in the city. The off-sale business is highly regulated and existing businesses can’t fend off new
22
establishments. If the city isn’t able to limitlicenses, he urges the council to allow him to install a
23
larger sign thanis currently allowed. The mayor explained that sign regulations are standard for all
24
businesses in the city. In regard to limiting licenses, Mayor Reinert recalled that certainlicensees are
25
requesting that the city follow what some other cities do (limit by proximity or geography) but he’d
26
argue that this council acts to do what’s right for this city and he’s heard the council say that they
27
wish for the market to regulate in this area.

78
2A. Resolution No. 13-100, Adopting the Preliminary 2013/2014 Property Tax Levy
–Finance
79
Directornoted the amount of thepreliminary levy brought forward at the direction of the council. He
80
acknowledged the hard work of the council in putting this year’s budget together. He also noted that
81
the levy includes a voter approved amount forthe signal projects and that, without consideration for
82
that portion, the levy amount would actually decrease from the previous year by about $40,000. He
83
noted that the state is imposing levy limits this year and that the city would be in compliance. The
84
adopted preliminary levy is a maximum, meaning it could be reduced but not increased for final levy.
85
86

4A. 2Reading and Passage of Ordinance No. 10-13, Amending Section 504.02 of the Lino
159
Lakes Code of Ordinances relating to Firearms, allowing bow hunting in certain areas of the
160
city
–Police Chief Swenson recalled that the council discussed deer management options beginning
161
last year. Staff worked with Anoka County and prepared an updated deer management report that
162
includes options for action. The ordinance before the council relates to one area of the city where
163
archery hunting has been disallowed even though it is allowed in the rest of the city, under defined
164
regulations. Council Member Roeser noted that the proposal to add this area for bow hunting is an
165
attempt to improve deer management and reduce the number of deer/vehicle collisions.
166
167
Pam B. Frink,2228 Reiling Road, addressed the council. She said that her neighbor just informed her
168
of the change in hunting authority being proposed. She is concerned because there is an area just
169
south of her home that would be affected (Clerk’s note: the area near Ms. Frink’s home was later
170
determined to be adjacent to city owned land, not impacted by the Ordinance proposed but by the
171
contract requestedin Item 4B). The area adjoinspublic land but that is not marked well.Further,
172
most of the public land is wet and she feels that hunters will probably steer more toward her land that
173
is dry. Also the land is rolling hills so it may be difficult to determine an appropriate shooting
174
distance.She is concerned about the impact on her property and that she wasn’t contacted for her
175
opinion before changes were considered.
176
177
Darlene and Richard Klenck,2280 Rolling Hills Drive(40 year residents), presented the councilwith
178
a petition opposing the city opening up city land south of Rolling Hills Drive to a controlled bow hunt
179
(also related to Item 4B). The neighbors who signed the petition are opposed and they represent about
180
4
COUNCIL MINUTESSeptember 9, 2013
DRAFT
one-half the residents in the area. Mr. Klenck said he fears issues sometimes associated with hunting
181
and just doesn’t want to see a change. The area has a low speed limit so there are rarely vehicle/deer
182
accidents.
183
184
Darlene Klenck added that Police Sergeant Kyle Leibel, who did come and meet with them, was good
185
to work with.
186
187
The council discussed the concerns voicedand the petition that was submitted. The council
188
determined that the area impacted by the petition and of concern to the residents present isrelated to
189
city owned land that would be opened for a controlled hunt only (by Metro Bowhunters Resource
190
Base) and that the ordinance involves another area of the city where no concerns havebeen voiced
191
about a change.

4B. Consider Authorization to Execute a Contract with Metro Bowhunters Resource Base
200
(MBRB) for deer management on City owned properties
–Police Chief Swenson explained that
201
some residents that live near one area of city-owned land impacted by this contract came forward and
202
spoke for Item 4A. In response to that, the council requested that Chief Swenson not allow the
203
managed hunt on the 70 acre parcel adjacent to those residents’ property. That would leave three
204
areasof the city that could be contracted for this hunt. He explained the positives about allowing this
205
group to do an organized hunt and what dates the hunts would occur. Permission to hunt on this city
206
owned land will not be granted to any one besides MBRB.
207
208
Council Member O’Donnell moved to authorize execution of the contract with the understanding that
209
the 70 acre parcel adjacent to Rolling Hills Drive is excluded. Council Member Rafferty seconded
