CITY OF LINO LAKES
PARK BOARD MEETING
JULY 6, 1992
The July meeting of the Lino Lakes Park Board was called to order
by Chairman George Lindy at 6:30 PM on July 6, 1992 at Lino Lakes
City Hall. Roll call was taken, members in attendance were
Jacquelyn Farm, Candi Toffoli, Ken Johnson, Brian Bourassa, George
Lindy and Ray Johnson. Staff in attendance were Marty Asleson ,
Parks, Recreation and Forestry Coordinator, Barry Bernstein,
Recreation Program Supervisor, and Carole Kohler, Parks, Recreation
and Forestry Coordinator.
The minutes of the June 1, 1992 meeting were approved as mailed.
OPEN MIKE: No one appeared under Open Mike.
OLD BUSINESS•
School Trails Mr. Andy Matzke, landscape architect for the new
Rice Lake Elementary School appeared before the board. He was here
to update he board on the progress of the trails for the new
school. Mr. Matzke explained that there will be a trail to get
children to and from Hokah Drive, and also on the south side of the
road from Arrowhead to the underpass.
The matter of a transportation trail was also discussed. Mr. Matzke
explained that transportation trails are off the road further,
opposed to bike trails, etc. that are located nearer to the
roadways. George Lindy wanted to know who was paying for them.
Evidently, the school pays for the base and the City does the
surface. The school will expect the City to maintain them.
Discussion also centered around the underpass. Marty Asleson
reported that construction will be completed by the time school
starts this Fall. The speed limit will remain 50 MPH along Birch
St. The board discussed the concern for this high of a speed limit,
and how to deter children from using short cuts across the street
rather than using the corners to cross. All agreed that this is
the school responsibility and should be handled through the school
patrol.
Park Grove Development Park/Trails: Mr. Ted Mattke representative
for Rick Carlson and the Park Grove development, appeared before
the board. Mr. Mattke showed a preliminary plat of the Park Grove
development. (This is the extension, second phase of PineRidge) . He
explained that he trail/park plan he is presenting now is basically

the same as was originally submitted in 1988, "with a few slight
changes". The total park area for this development would be 10. 07
acres, this includes the pond. This area would fulfill the park
dedication for this development. One area of concern was that of
wetland. Marty Asleson wanted to be assured that the city crews
would be able to maintain this area, considering it is low land. He
doesn't want to have another problem like we have at Shenandoah
Park where it is too low and wet to mow. Mr. Mattke explained that
the Corps of Engineers has no concerns, and he will see that they
submit a letter regarding that matter to the city.
Mr. Mattke is hoping to get acceptance of his proposal from the
Park Board so that he can proceed, as he is scheduled to appear
before the Planning and Zoning Commission on July 8th. Ray Johnson
questioned whether this land was buildable. He stated that if we
can't build on it, it's not acceptable for parks either. Ray
referred to the original proposal where there were several options.
The original recommendation made to council on March 5, 1990 was
researched and it was discovered that there were two options. It
was further noted that at the time of the recommendation to
council in 1990, there was a good deal of concern about elevation.
The board at that time, and still does, want the grade to be at
least 3' above flood elevation so as to insure against flooding and
wetlands in the park area. A very lengthy discussion followed.
RECOMMENDATION: Ray Johnson moved to recommend to council to accept
Option #2 - as originally proposed on March 5, 1990. All park board
members were in agreement with this recommendation.
There were several options presented to the board at the March 5,
1990 park board meeting, the minutes from that meeting read as
follows: . . . " MOTION: Ken Johnson moved to recommend to the city
council consideration of the following options for park dedication
at Pine Ridge development: Option #1: Complete grading to a
minimum of 3' above the 100 year flood elevation on the proposed
five acre park in the southeast section of phase 2 of PineRidge.
This will be completed during grading of phase 1's development.
Once construction begins in phase 2 the remaining park dedication
equal to approximately 60 lots will be collected at $400. 00/lot.
This is to assure the park board that a park will be installed in
this area. Trails will also be brought to grade and graveled per
the plan.
Option #2: Accept the cash dedication of $400.00 per lot for phase
1, of PineRidge Preliminary Plat which consists of approximately 60
lots, the developer will also install the trail as specified in the
2

plan, bring it up to grade, and surface it with gravel. The
bituminous surface will be the City's responsibility.
Phase 2 consists of 50 acres. Park Dedication will be met in phase
2 by claiming a 5 acre parcel to be brought to grade for a park.
This 5 acre parcel surrounds a pond consisting of 3 .3 acres. Trails
noted on the preliminary plat will also be brought to grade and
graveled. Grading of the park will be accomplished when grading of
phase 2 begins.
option #2 to be accepted only if Option #1 is in some way not
legally feasible to do.
John Bauman seconded the motion and the motion was approved
unanimously. "
(A copy of those park board minutes are attached at the end of
these minutes. )
Comp Plan - Marty Asleson reported that there has been no response
00"*N by the viewing audience, either by phone or mail, regarding the
Public Hearing on the Comprehensive Park Plan held on July 1, 1992.
Jeff Schoenbauer states that in his experience this is not unusual.
He explained that the plan does prove useful and come in to play
when residents call and inquire about parks in their area.
The Comprehensive Park Plan will be added as part of the City
Comprehensive Plan. The next step will be to go to the City
Council in resolution form, then on to the Metropolitan Council for
approval as part of our City Comprehensive Plan. This is a flexible
document and can be changed and moved around if the need be.
PARRS/FACILITIES UPDATE:
Lighting for Lino and Country Lakes Parks - As was discussed at
previous meetings, the board would like to put lighting in at
Country Lakes and Lino Parks in order to use these parks for night
skating programs. Marty Asleson has gotten quotes on this.
Remington Electric has quoted $11,718. for electric for both parks.
MOTION: - Ray Johnson made a motion to do the electrical work as
per the quote. This motion was seconded by Ken Johnson. All were in
favor. Motion carried.
Marty Asleson explained that his crews are working to make Country
3

PARK BOARD MEETING

Lakes Park more aesthetically pleasing. There is a good deal of
work to be done, such as removing stumps so that it can be mowed.
Candi Toffoli mentioned that the neighbors are concerned about the
algae problem in the water here. She noted that the neighbors are
circulating a petition to ask the City to clean up the problem.
Marty Asleson explained that the City is currently working on a
surface water management plan.
The board was concerned about the condition and quality of the
water in Lino Lakes this year. George Lindy suggested that someone
involved in water management be scheduled on the agenda for an
upcoming meeting.
Shores of Marshan Lake - The city now owns the building located on
this property. It has been agreed that the old owner can use the
building for storage until we want to move in. Marty Asleson will
set up a tour of this building for the next park board meeting. He
explained that the trails are roughed in. He also noted that
evidently this is somewhat of an historical area. At one time long
ago there was a stop off station for wagons nearby and other points
of historical interest.
Rice Lake Elementary - Marty Asleson explains that tke field here
is going real good. There have been two mowings alre . There are
a few glitches with the irrigation system, but that will be worked
out. He commented on what a nice agreement we have with the School
District regarding the use of this facility.
Country Lakes Park - Councilperson Linda Elliott, received a
complaint from a resident about the looks of this park. As noted
earlier, clearing of stumps started last year when Marty used some
workers from the prison. However, this created a problem because
these workers weren't very adept at the use of the equipment. This
year he does not have the help from the prison. The boat dock is in
at the lake, it will be fenced off in the winter.
Aras Property (N-14) - This item will surface on the Agenda again
sometime in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Aras were at the Comp
Plan Public Hearing. Marty Asleson reported that he is still
interested in obtaining part of the Aras property for park use, and
will keep the board appraised.
Rice Lake Estates - Joint agreement with Circle Pines regarding a
park for this development is still being handled and "dragging on" .
Marty Asleson has recently talked with Jim Keinath of Circle Pines
and reports "no progress. "

PARR BOARD MEETING
JULY 6, 1992
Personnel I Crews/Parks, Recreation Balance - Marty Asleson explained
that with the new park, of course there is need for more employees.
The parks department will be adding a new person this year, in
parks maintenance.
Recreation Committee Formation - There has been some interest
regarding formation of a recreation sub- committee. Marty Asleson
has sent his resolution on to the council, and expects that they
will adopt it.
Spring/Summer Recreation Programs - Barry Bernstein updated the
board on the current programs. Marty Asleson handed out information
with profit and loss balances for all the programs from early
Spring to current. Barry explained that a few programs were dropped
due to lack of interest, such as the teen programs. Marty commented
that we will keep trying programs for teens, and hope that one will
get their attention. The department will be putting out a Fall
brochure soon - if anyone has any ideas, please let Marty or Barry
know.
Forestry:
211 trees were planted in developments in the city this year. Marty
reported the Tree Preservation Ordinance is working well.
Developers are catching on now. He noted that there will be monies
coming for oak wilt control, and there will be funds available in
1993 also. This will help to pay for the vibratory plow we will be
using.
Other Old Business:
Ray Johnson referred to the last meeting where he questioned why
there was no culvert built in at Wenzel Farms. He thinks there
should be one there. Marty Asleson explained that he was told the
design was correct for this development.
NEW BUSINESS
LINO CITY FESTIVAL - This event has been known as Lino Days in the
past. This year a very interested and active committee has changed
,...� the name to Summerfest. There will be Summerfest buttons going on

sale soon. This year the event will be held on August 14 and 15.
The committee will be soliciting donations from various businesses
in the city. There are a lot of activities planned, including a
Rodeo, a street dance, and a craft sale handled by senior citizens.
All of the events will take place at City Hall Park and the open
area surrounding City Hall. The projected cost is $13, 000. It is
anticipated that monies collected will off-set this cost.
There was no other new business.
A motion was made and seconded to adjourn. All were in favor.
Meeting was adjourned at 9:50 PM.

MEMORANDUM
TO: All Park Board Members
FROM: Marty Asleson-Parks, Recreation and Forestry
Coordinator
DATE: July 30, 1992
SUBJECT: Quail Ridge
Please find attached a copy of the most recent concept for park
dedication in Quail Ridge. This development has been to the Parks
and Recreation Board previously, but since then has been requested
to be changed under a Planned Development Overlay (PDO) . The park
area is basically the same, but now includes the wetland areas. The
development total area equals 39.9 acres. The proposed usable park
area on the south and west end equals 3 . 1 acres. This area as
previously noted would convert via trail, to the Captain's Place
cul-de-sac. The total park acreage needed for the neighborhood
area is 6 acres according to our comprehensive plan. The developer
has provided trail through his development via the linear trail
corridor, cul-de-sac access and park trail link through the
wetlands. The combination of the two areas equal approximately 6
acres.
I have discussed this concept with other city staff, including Alan
Brixius our city planner, and everything appears to be in order.
SEH has prepared a trail cross section for the linear trail
corridor. This cross section shows that the linear trail corridor
can be engineered into the design. I have previously discussed this
development with Jeff Schoenbauer in the comprehensive planning
process, and the proposal includes the essential components needed.
Kirk Corson will be at the park board meeting to present his
proposal. Please call if you have any questions or thoughts on this
matter.

Fridley, Minnesota 55432
Dear Ted,
This letter will follow up our Park Board meeting of July 6, 1992 .
At the meeting you proposed park dedication for the new Park Grove
development (PineRidge Addition second phase) to be the same as was
originally presented to the Park Board on March 5, 1990.
In researching the minutes from the March 5, 1990 meeting, it was
discovered that the Park Board recommended several options to the
City Council. As you can see in the attached excerpt of these
minutes, there was, and still is a concern of wetland in this area
being presented as buildable land. Also of some concern was the
matter of being able to mow and maintain the dedicated park area
and whether the Corps of Engineers would allow the City to do so.
You assured us that this would not be a problem, and you would have
the Corps submit a letter regarding that matter to us.
Ted, another important matter of concern is the elevation. When the
recommendation was made to Council in 1990, the Park Board insisted
that the grading be brought up to 3' above the 100 year flood
elevation. You have also assured us that this will be done.
At our last Park Board meeting, the Board moved to recommend to
Council to accept Option #2, as originally proposed on March 5,
1990. Please note that Option #2 further states: "Option #2 to be
accepted only if Option #1 is in some way not legally feasible to
do. "
One other addition to the park dedication proposal is the purchase
of Outlot D from the City. This issue was addressed in the
Development Contract dated and signed June 10, 1991. . . . " Item 14.
PARK DEDICATION. Park land shall be deeded to City. Developer has
the right of first refusal for two (2) years from the date hereof
to purchase if the City, at its sole option, decides to sell. The
purchase price shall be Twenty-seven Thousand Two Hundred and
1189 MAIN STREET, LINO LAKES,MINNE8OTA 55014 612-464-5562
t
no/100 ($27,200. 00) Dollars plus all special assessment payments
made by the City. In addition, Developer will assume all
outstanding unit charges and special assessments at the time of
purchase. Developer shall have the right to plat said property in
accordance with the approved preliminary plat for Pine Ridge
Addition. "
I trust- this is the information you will need to bring before our
Planning and Zoning Board. If I can be of further assistance in
this matter, please call me.

MEMORANDUM
TO: All Park Board Members
FROM: Marty Asleson
DATE: July 31, 1992
SUBJECT: Apollo Meadows
Please find enclosed a copy of a letter from Gary Uhde, developer
of Apollo Meadows. This area is just south of the Sunset Oaks
development, and is bordered by I-35W to the south and Sunset Road
to the west. Attached is a map.
Mr. Uhde will be at the park board meeting to present his park
dedication and trail proposal. His proposal is consistent with the
goals set forth in our comprehensive plan. The trail that will run
along the western border of his development is a . 5 mile
transportation trail. This trail would be located in the existing
road right-of -way. Staff has asked Mr. Uhde to curve the trail
inward towards his cul-de-sac at this time. This would be at the
freeway bridge end. We would not want to encourage the bridge
crossings at this time. The trail would be extended when the bridge
is upgraded and a pedestrian path provided for on the bridge.
If you should have any questions previous to the park board
meeting, please call me.

The following voted against same: Neal.
Whereupon, the resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.

equipment at the Incarnation Cemetery. The property is zoned
mural and a cemetery is a permitted use. Although the cemetery
is "grandfathered", any change or alteration requires an amended
conditional use permit.
The cemetery is approximately one (1) acre in size and has no
other structures located on the property. The storage building
would be located within the required setback.
Staff has reviewed the request and find it to be compatible with
the existing use and neighborhood and recommends approval.
Council Member Bergeson moved to approve the amended conditional
use permit with the following conditions:
1. Proper building permits be obtained for the
construction of the storage building.
2. Site plan submitted be made a part of the conditional
use permit.
3. A landscape plan be submitted with the building permit
application indicating landscaping to be provided
around storage building.
Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried
-'Nnimously.
Consideration of Subdivision Request, Royal Oaks Realty, 985
Birch Street - The property at 985 Birch Street is completely
surrounded by the Black Duck Estates and the Black Duck Estates,
Second Addition subdivisions. zoning is Residential, (R-1) and
utilities are available to the site. The property owner, Royal
Oaks Realty is requesting a subdivision of the lot into two (2)
lots. Each of the two (2) lots would exceed the minimum square
footage requirements for this zone. The requested split is
consistent with the overall development plan for the area.
Staff does recommend that requested subdivision be granted
although the present home on the site infringes on the front
setback. The present home is considered an existing non-
conforming use and would be allowed to remain. The setback
requirements on the newly created lot would conform to the City
Code.
The Planning and Zoning Board has reviewed the request and
recommends approval of the subdivision with the condition that
the existing home at 985 Birch Street be connected to municipal
utilities prior to the sale of the home.
Council Member Bergeson asked if there would be any problem
obtaining a driveway permit for the newly created lot from Anoka
PAGE 7
tit C
County. Ms. Wyland said that it was her understanding a permit
would be granted.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the subdivision request.
Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
Consideration of Variance Request, Roger Kolstad, Carl and Thomas
Street - Mr. Kolstad has requested a variance to extend Carl
Street and Thomas Street in the Lino Air Park subdivision using
the street standards in place when the original portions of the
streets were constructed in 1977. The extended portion of the
streets would be identical to the abutting segments of streets
which currently exist. Street construction standards have
changed considerably and if the variance was granted the extended
portions of Carl Street and Thomas Street would not conform to
the current City Code.
The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the request and after some
discussion recommended denial of the request. The Board
concurred with the City Planner who indicated that the findings
of fact did not justify granting a variance. No hardship could
be found relating to the property.
A copy of the City Council minutes from 1976 regarding
installation of the streets was given to the City Council. It
was noted that the City Code has been amended since the original
subdivision was approved and any new street construction in the
subdivision must conform to present codes. -�
Mr. Kolstad told the City Council that the original streets were
not constructed to the streets standards that existed in 1977.
This was allowed because it was thought that only one side of
each street would be developed. However, after the streets were
constructed, subdivisions occurred on the other side of the
streets and additional building was allowed.
Mr. Kolstad said he did not understand why the current street
standards with concrete curb and gutter would be required in this
case since only seven (7) lots can be built on abutting each
street. He felt it would also look strange. Mr. Kolstad also
said that the hardship would be on the air park users. An
association has been formed for the maintenance of the air strip
and if additional lots are not allowed to develop on the air
strip, the current landowners will never get additional help in
maintaining the air strip. Mr. Kolstad said that if the City
does not allow the variance, he will be forced to let the
property go tax forfeit.
Council Member Neal moved to approve the variance request with
the conditions recommended by the City Engineer. Mayor Reinert
seconded the motion. Mr. Schneider said that he did try to

PLANNING ITEMS:
A. 92-22 , Incarnation Cemetery, Ash Street, Amended Conditional Use
M.K. Wyland reviewed this request which is to construct a 12 x 14
storage building for lawn maintenance equipment at the Incarnation
Cemetery. The Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval of the
request with the conditions outlined in the staff report including
the following:
1. Property building permits be obtained for the construction
of the storage building.
2. Site plan submitted be made a part of the permit.
3 . A landscape plan be submitted with the building permit

PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
JULY 8, 1992
B. 92-24 Royal Oaks Realty, 985 Birch Street, Subdivision
M.K. Wyland reviewed this request which is to split the property at
985 Birch into two parcels of property approximately 104' wide by
208' deep. The property is Zoned R1 Residential and sewer and
water is available to serve the site.
MOTION: Mesich moved approval of the request provided the existing
dwelling at 985 Birch Street is connected to the sewer and water.
Nordine seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion carried.
C. 92-26, Salberg, 7678 20th Street, Subdivision
M. K. Wyland reviewed this request which is to rearrange lot lines
to provide for the sale of an existing home and acreage. The new
lot arrangement would provide a parcel of property 8.765 acres in
size thereby requiring a variance for 1.235 acres.
MOTION: After some discussion Gelbmann stated that there was no
apparent hardship in not meeting the 10 acre requirement as
adequate acreage is available to the rear of this property,
therefore he would recommend Option 1 of the Staff Report approving
the realignment of lot lines with the addition of acreage from the
east to provide a total of 10 acres for the new parcel. Landers
seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion carried.
D. 92-27 Cottage Homesteads, Rezoning on Elm Street
Al Brixius, NAC, advised the Planning & Zoning Board that the staff
had met with the developer just prior to the meeting and determined
that some changes in the site plan would be required. It was
therefore recommended that this item be held over until next month
to allow the developer time to redesign the site plan. Chairman
Schaps advised the audience that this item would be held over until
the August 12th meeting of the Planning & Zoning Board.
E. 92-29 Roger Kolstad, Carl & Thomas Street, Variance
Al Brixius, NAC, reviewed this request which is to allow a 3 ton
road to be extended at a width of 241 . The Code has changed since
the Lino Air Park was originally approved and constructed and the
requirements now include a 7 ton roadway with a 33' width. Mr.
Brixius explained that there is no apparent hardship in this case
�. and would recommend denial of the variance request.
Mr. Kolstad was present and stated that when the ordinance was
changed concerning the width of streets his subdivision was of
PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
JULY 8, 1992
record and he was not notified regarding the change. He further
indicated that it is not feasible for them to develop the remaining
lots with a wider street. Sewer and water is not available and
probably will not be for a very long time, if ever, and he does not
feel that curb and gutter necessary. Traffic in the area is minimal
and will remain that way and the larger lots allow plenty of off
street parking. Dedication of a 66' right of way would be
provided, it is merely the constructed width of the street that is
at question.
Concerns of the Planning & Zoning Board included parking, safety in
regard to the narrow streets and emergency vehicle access. Mr.
Mesich asked why the narrower streets were not grandfathered in and
was advised that this is a new development, thereby the current
requirements apply. Mr. Brixius also explained that if the Board
considers approving the request they should specify the uniqueness
of the site to prevent other developments from seeking the same
variance. He also suggested addressing drainage, restrictions on
development, a 60' right of way dedication, and agreements to be
assessed for sewer and water when available.
MOTION: Landers recommended Option 1 denying the request for a
variance to construct substandard streets. Nordine seconded the
motion. All voted aye. Motion carried.
F. 92-30, 7080 Lake Drive, Leszinski, Conditional Use Permit/
Site Plan Review
M. K. Wyland reviewed this request and explained that it is to
allow an Automobile Service Use in a General Business District.
The home on the site would be considered an existing non-conforming
use.
MOTION: Gelbman moved and was supported by Mesich to approve the
request with the following conditions:
1. Signs be located in conformance with existing sign
ordinance and proper permits obtained.
2 . No exterior storage be allowed on the site, including
vehicles being serviced.
3 . A refuse area be provided and properly screened from
the street right of way.
4. Proper building permits be obtained for any
construction/remodeling.
All voted aye. Motion carried.
PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
JULY 8, 1992
G. 92-31 Park Grove, (Extension of Pine Ridge) , Subdivision
Al Brixius reviewed this request which is to allow platting of
approximately 86 single family lots on 45 acres of land adjacent to
Pine Ridge. The property has been reviewed in the past and was
discussed at length when Pine Ridge was originally approved. The
staff report indicated approval with several conditions. Park
Board review included discussion of a useable park and possible
modifications to the land being offered as park. After some
discussion concerning parks and trails the following motion was
offered.
MOTION: Meisch recommended approval with the conditions outlined
in the staff report except # 2, 6, and 7, and the condition that
the request be reviewed again by the Park Board, prior to the
Council meeting, to address the following issues:
1. Vehicle access to the park.
2. Trails
3 . Park elevation.
Nordine seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion carried.
DISCUSSION:
New Developments: Landers suggested that developers be required to
provide enclosed containers for trash to help eliminate some of the
trash problems in these areas. Darrell suggested staff could
review the policies in place and report back to the Board.
Schaps asked if staff was aware of any commercial developments
pending. Darrell stated that the City now has an Economic
Development Committee that is working on promoting the Apollo Drive
area and also possible development at 49 and 23. He also advised
the Board that the City is considering preparing a Growth Study to
help guide development and project city facility needs.
Nordine asked if the Board members could be provided with a copy of
the Comprehensive Plan.
ADJOURNMENT: Upon the unanimous consent of the Board the meeting
was adjourned at 8: 50 p.m.
The August meeting of the Lino Lakes Park Board was called to order
on August 4, 1992 at 6: 30 pm, at the Lino Lakes City Hall by Vice

II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: July 8, 1992
John Landers moved and was supported by Rick Gelbman
to approve the minutes of the July 8, 1992 meeting as
submitted. All voted aye. Motion carried.
III. OPEN MIKE: No one was present for Open Mike
IV. ACTION ITEMS:
A. 92-27-PDO, Senior Cottages, Elm Street
The Public Hearing concerning the Senior Cottages on Elm
Street was continued from the July 8th Planning and
Zoning Meeting. The request involves a rezoning to R4
residential with a Planned Development Overlay to allow
the construction of approximately 90 senior housing units.
Mr. Brixius advised the Board that a revised site plan has
been submitted and reviewed the Staff report which recommended
approval with several conditions.
Mr. Roger Derek was present and briefly reviewed the
request with the board. Al Robinson asked a question
concerning driveway width and indicated that 22' seems
to be rather narrow for access for garbage trucks. Mr.
Brixius explained that permits would be required from the
County for the access drives which would be required to
meet County standards. A question was raised concerning
parking for recreational vehicles. Mr. Derek explained
that in their experience with similar housing developments
the need for parking of any recreational vehicles was very
limited. Their plan would be for these vehicles to be
stored in the garage units provided. Kathy Nordine asked
how much traffic would be generated by this use. Mr. Derek
explained that it would not be much as most seniors do not
drive at night or when the weather is bad and that a
transportation service is proposed for the development.
Planning & Zoning Board 2 August 12, 1992
Mr. Mesich asked if Cottage Homesteads was a National Company
and was advised that they are Minnesota based. They also have
a few other developments in the state and they average 80-90
units. He also expressed concern regarding no basements and
what to do in case of severe weather. Mr. Derek stated that
Minnesota is rather unique in that most construction has
basements and added that none will be provided due to cost and
the fact that seniors like to avoid stairs if at all possible.
The questions was raised concerning putting a basement under
the proposed community center but Mr. Derek stated it would be
too costly as handicapped access would be necessary along
with other design constraints. Landscaping along the north
property line will be provided in the form of 6, 8, and 10
foot evergreens. The exterior is sided with aluminum and
refuse and snow removal will be handled by the management.
Tom Meisch asked if the Fire Chief had reviewed the plans
for this development and was advised by Mr. Brixius that he
had and his only concern was hydrant location.
Kathy Nordine asked if this proposed construction is not
,•� carried out will the property remain R4 thus allowing any high
density residential use. Mr. Brixius explained that the PDO
designation provides for the development of the property as
approved with a signed development agreement. If this
developer does not construct the units, another developer
would be required to meet the approved plan or resubmit the
proposal.
Mr. Meisch stated that although he believes this type of
housing is needed in the City of Lino Lakes he has concerns
regarding the width of Elm Street in relation to additional
traffic and the lack of nearby shopping and sidewalks. Mr.
Dereck stated that there will be a comprehensive sidewalk
plan within the development and again, that transportation
will be available for the seniors. Kathy Nordine asked if
these units could be converted to market rate apartments and
was advised by Mr. Brixius that if that were the case he would
have a substantially different staff report on the project
due to traffic concerns.
Mr. Meisch asked if the Rezoning, PDO, and Site Plan Review
are all tied together and was advised by Mr. Brixius that he
would recommend such. MOTION: Mr. Meisch then made a motion
to deny the request as submitted. Kathy Nordine seconded the
motion. On roll call:
AYES: Meisch, Nordine
NAYS: Gelbmann, Landers, Robinson, Slatten
Motion Failed.
Mr. Gelbman then moved approval of the request with the
conditions outlined in the Planning Report and the additional
condition that the Developer return to the Planning & Zoning
Board within the next two months with a detailed site plan.
Planning & Zoning Board 3 August 12, 1992
Mr. Robinson seconded the motion. on roll call:
AYES: Gelbman, Landers, Robinson, Slatten
NAYS: Meisch, Nordine
Motion carried.
B. 92-36-Z, 92-37-P, Apollo Meadows, Rezoning & Subdivision
Mr. Brixius explained that this is Public Hearing to review a
request to plat 42 single family lots and rezone a five acre
parcel from R1 to R4, High Density Residential. The Planning
Report recommends approval of the subdivision with the
elimination of Item 3, as 100' of right of way dedication has
been approved by the County, some variances outlined in the
staff report concerning lot width at the building setback
line and the adjustment that this setback line be maintained
at 35' for this plat and realignment for Lot 42 to correct
depth deficiency. It is recommended that the property be
rezoned to R3, Medium Density, rather than the R4 proposed by
the applicant. At this time there are no specific plans for
the multiple parcel, however, three alternate site plans
submitted more nearly conformed to the medium density
classification than the higher density use, thus the
recommendation to go with R3.
Mr. Mesich asked what type of housing is proposed for this
development and was advised that it would be low to moderate
housing. He also asked why not rezone the property to a
business use as business is needed in the area. Mr. Uhde, the
developer, explained that in working with the extension of
Apollo Drive and the neighboring residents that the proposal
submitted seemed to be the most acceptable to all concerned
including the City, County, and Neighborhood.
Mr. Gelbman asked about Alternate G in the Staff Report as a
consideration for the site plan. Mr. Uhde explained that it
was not a good idea because lots back onto Apollo Drive. The
plan proposed is the best alternative and the access points
have been ok'd by the County.
Mr. and Mrs. Huntington of 140 Marvy Street were present and
asked if a park was proposed for the site and if the rezoning
is approved could anything go in at that location. Mr.
Brixius explained that the Park Plan does not call for park
area in this location as there is a park a few blocks to the
north. In regard to the rezoning, any proposed construction
would require site plan review and approval by the Planning
Board and the City Council.
Mr. Meisch stated that he was not comfortable approving the
rezoning without any plans for development. He stated that
if it remains an R1 Outlot, Mr. Uhde can request the rezoning
when he is ready to further subdivide or build on the site.
Mr. Uhde stated that economics dictate the rezoning at this
time.
n
Planning & Zoning Board 4 August 12, 1992
MOTION: Mr. Meisch made a motion to approve the preliminary
plat striking Item 13 from the Staff Report and adding Items
11 and 12 pertaining to correcting the depth deficiency in Lot
42 and requiring a building setback of 35' on all lots in the
plat. The Outlot is to remain zoned R1 so Denial was
recommended on the rezoning request. Mr. Landers seconded the
motion. On roll call:
AYES: Landers, Mesich, Gelbman
NAYS: Nordine, Robinson, Schaps, Slatten
Motion failed
Monika Slatten moved approval of the subdivision with the
conditions outlined in Mr. Meisch's motion and the Rezoning of
the Outlot to R3 Residential. Mr. Gelbman seconded the
motion. On roll call:
AYES: Gelbman, Nordine, Robinson, Slatten
NAYS: Landers, Mesich
Motion carried.
C. 92-29-CUP, Northern Instrument, 6680 Hwy 49, Amended CUP
A Public Hearing was held concerning an addition to the
Northern Instrument facility at 6680 Hwy 49. Mr. Ehrmanntraut
of Northern Instruments was present and explained that
they wish to add a 76 x 60 wood frame storage building.
The staff recommended approval of the request with the
conditions listed in the staff report. It was suggested that
the applicant check with the Rice Creek Watershed District to
insure that no permits are required of them.
MOTION: Monika Slatten made a motion recommending approval
with the conditions outlined in the staff report. Mr. Gelbman
seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion carried.
D. 92*31!-D vV ChiropMatia, 7661 Lake Dr. , Site Plan Review
Mr. Buys was present and indicated that he will be remodeling
the site into an office and paving an area to provide 9
parking spaces. The staff report recommended approval of the
request and asked for screening & curb along the south border
of the parking area. Mr. Buys explained that the area is
screened by trees and he believes screening & curb may be
needed on the north side. There was some discussion regarding
handicapped parking which Mr. Buys agreed to provide and an
increase in the width of the parking area to provide adequate
maneuvering space.
MOTION: Monika Slatten made a motion recommending Option 1,
approval of the site plan with the conditions listed in the
,.�, staff report, an addition to Item B providing for a 58, wide
parking area, Item C providing screening & curb on the north
side of the parking area, and Item D providing for a
handicapped parking space and striping of the parking lot.
Mr. Gelbman seconded the motion. All voted aye. Motion
carried.
Planning & Zoning Board 5 August 12 , 1992
R. 9 5-F, J. Mi.l, North Rd. , Subdivision
Mr.-,1�cNeil was present and indicated that he would like to
t the property into three lots. Staff recommended
approval with the conditions indicated in staff report and the
additional condition that a 10' utility easement be provided
on the rear and side property lines.
MOTION: Mr. Robinson moved approval of the request with the
conditions outlined in the staff report and the condition that
a 10' utility easement be provided on side and rear property
lines. Nonika Slatten seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Motion carried.
F. 92-38-PDO, Reshanau Park Estates, Planned Development
A Public Hearing was called to Order by Chairman Schaps at
8:36 P.M. concerning the Reshanau Park Estates Planned
Development.
Mr. Don Gorowsky was present to explain the request which is
to allow a private boat launch and park area for the Reshanau
Park Estates Homeowners Association on Outlots A and B of
Reshanau Park Estates. He explained that there are 17 lots in
the development that do not have lakeshore and 16 lots
on the lake. Some of these lakeshore owners are not able to
launch their boats from their own property due to the
shoreline/landscaping. The park and launch would be a
private area for Association members only. The access
would be fenced and locked. The request is to actually
improve the site which currently exists and is owned by
the Association.
Mr. Brixius reviewed the Planning Report and concluded with
recommending that the City make a determination due to the
number and degree of importance related to each outstanding
issue and that this is a policy decision to be made by the
City.
Mr. Pete Brown of 6897 Black Duck Drive was present and stated
that this matter had been discussed three years ago,
withdrawn from the plans due to local opposition, and he did
not understand why it had to be discussed again. The previous
requested included the launch, special lighting, pillars at
the entrance to the development, and all these items were
removed - we should not be discussing it now.
Chairman Schaps asked Mr. Gorowsky what his understanding was
..� of what people were told who bought property in Reshanau Park
Estates - was there anything contractual in the purchase?
Mr. Gorowsky explained that it was an expectation, not in a
contract, that there would be a boat access provided in
Outlots A and B.
Planning & Zoning Board 6 August 12 , 1992
Gary Uhde, the Developer of Reshanau Park Estates, was present
and stated that yes, the street lights, entrance pillars, and
cobblestone streets were removed from the plan but the park
area was only a concept. The Homeowners Association owns the
Outlots and have the right to use the area to launch their
boats. What they are asking for is an improved access -
otherwise they could leave it as it is and still use it.
Chairman Schaps stated that having been present at the
previous meetings regarding the plat it was his understanding
that the boat launch/marina issue was dead.
Mr. Uhde stated that it was not a part of the plat approval,
but was not a dead issue in his opinion. Just something that
was not fully developed yet as the properties were not all
sold and the Homeowners Association not complete.
Al Thiemich of 6725 East Shadow Lake Drive stated that over
the past 20 years there has been some degradation of the lake
although not great. Now we are talking about increased access
and there is a belief that this launching area will invite
more use and the problems will become the lakeshore owners
problems. It will increase the public use of the lake and he
is opposed to that. He also stated that he thought this issue
had been settled three years ago.
Mr. Don Dunn of 6085 Black Duck Drive read a letter stating
that he too believed the marina had been removed and that the
only boats allowed would have to be hand carried to the lake.
He is opposed to more access to the lake and believes the lake
can not afford more traffic. This could open the area on the
south end of the lake and set a precedent. He believes the
developer withdrew the matter from the final plat package
and that these proceedings are therefore unethical on his
part. He believes the problem is not with the new residents
but with the developer and that the matter should be settled
in the courts if the property owners were misled in believing
there would be a boat access provided.
Mr. Meisch asked if the Planning Board could have a little
history of the matter. The Board was provided a copy of the
Council minutes from July 24, 1989 at which the preliminary
plat was approved. These minutes indicated that there were
no plans for developing Outlots A & B and that a marina was
no longer planned. Mr. Brixius explained that the Homeowners
Association had begun improvements on the park and were
advised that a DNR permit was necessary and granted. In
applying for the DNR permit the City was notified and thus
became aware of the proposed access. The City Administrator
asked Mr. Brixius to review the matter and it was determined
a private park is not a permitted use in this Zoning District.
The Association was notified that they would need to request
a Planned Development Overlay for the area. The site now
Planning & Zoning Board 7 August 12, 1992
includes a gate, a gravel access point to the lake, volleyball
court and horseshoe area.
Mr. Uhde explained that in the fall of 1991 they began having
meetings with the Homeowners Association about the area. They
talked with the previous City Planner about what they were
doing and were told there was nothing needed except a permit
from the DNR and/or the Corp. of Engineers. They received an
ok from the Rice Creek Watershed District for work above the
high water mark and the DNR was made aware of their plans. An
application was made for a permit from the DNR. It was never
their intent to put this in without approval but they had been
advised by the City Planner at that time that no permit was
necessary.
Mr. Pat Smith of 6922 West Shadow Lake Drive stated that he
felt the problem here may be in marketing. The City made a
decision a number of years ago, but apparently, buyers were
told there would be a launch.
Mayor Reinert was present and stated that Mr. Uhde has been
a good developer, however, his recall is that the boat launch
was stricken from the plan. It is not a good idea on such a
small lake. On the opposite side of the lake there is a
piece of property that is owned by 14 different property
owners - if this is allowed they could do the same thing. He
stated that he did recall discussion of development of the
park, but no launching space. He believes the issue here is
the "improved" access, not the park improvements. He also
believes the realtors "over-sold" the property.
Mr. Greg Johnson of 6773 East Shadow Lake Drive expressed
concern about the ecological impact. The fish population is
very low and he has been working with the DNR to increase it.
At this time 10% of the fish show propeller wounds due to the
lakes shallowness.
Mr. Dunn stated that he had met with the DNR and initiating
work on this site was a violation because no permit approval
was received. Rice Creek has no authority and the City has
the final say.
Mr. Mike Hayden, from the east side of the lake, stated that
he was mislead when he purchased his home because he was told
there would be a boat access.
Brad Bainen, 6955 Black Duck Drive stated the problem is
with the developer. There was a strong promise that there
would be a boat launch that even the people on the lake
side could use.
B. Olson of 6673 East Shadow Lake Drive asked who would be
responsible for policing this area once it is improved.
Planning & Zoning Board 8 August 12 , 1992
Mayor Reinert stated that we may need to form a citizen's
group to discuss water rules/ground rules, water quality
and management, and the like.
Mr. Uhde agreed with Mayor Reinert that this would be a
good idea concerning use of the lake. He added that the
Association has made a commitment to control the access
they propose and limit it to property owners. There may
be 2 or 3 boats, maybe up to 6. The Association has been
very willing to work with those concerned. He added that
when the property was originally being constructed the DNR
had asked if they could buy some property for a boat access
but he had said no.
Mr. Pat Smith stated that he has been a resident for over
12 years and during that time, if a neighbor needed to
launch his boat and could not from his property, it has
been worked out, this practice could certainly continue.
Most boats go in the water in the spring and come
out in the fall.
,.� A Mr. Greg Johnson stated that this proposal could set a
precedent other development on the lake.
In response to a question, a resident stated that there is
approximately 311 acres of water and it is 5'-6' deep. Mr.
Larry Brandonberger of 6940 West Shadow Lake Drives stated
that the useable area of the lake is reduced as the season
progresses. Mr. George Gotweld of 6710 East Shadow Lake Drive
was concerned that increased us of the lake will prove
hazardous. The shallowness of the lake presents problems
now with shoreline erosion.
There being no further discussion, Chairman Schaps closed the
Public Hearing at 9:55. He stated that the problems seems to
be not with the park improvements but with the improved boat
access. The business of the access seems to have been
finished but the controversy continues. Lots were sold with
no contractual basis for a boat access. This would
be a large step for the City to take. The residents in the
area all want to get along and be good neighbors. The
decision was previously made not to allow a boat access and
the City should stick with their decision. Improvement of the
park will be an asset to the residents even without the boat
access. Country Lakes Park has a canoe access. At the time it
was developed it was determined that it should be only a canoe
access.
Mr. Gelbman asked if there ever was a rough draft of a plan
for Outlots A and B and Association Bylaws.
Planning & Zoning Board 9 August 12, 1992
MOTION: Mr. Landers made a motion to deny the entire request
and was supported by Kathy Nordine. On roll call:
AYES: Landers
NAYS: Gelbman, Mesich, Nordine, Robinson, Slatten
MOTION FAILED
Mr. Gelbman made a motion recommending approval of the PDO
with the exception of the boat access and launch with the
following conditions:
1. A barrier be installed to prevent motorized
boat access to the lake from the park property.
2. The current access be demolished and restored to
its previous condition.
On roll call:
AYES: Gelbman, Mesich, Nordine, Robinson, Slatten
NAYS: Landers
Motion carried to approve park improvements but deny
boat launch area; restoration of boat launch area and
return to natural condition.
¢. 92-39-8, Quail Ridge. Birch St. , Subdivision/PDO
Mr. Brixius reviewed the Planning report which indicated that
this request is to plat a 40 acre parcel into 41 R-1X lots.
The Planned Development Overlay designation is being requested
to maintain an overall density in accordance with the R1X
District while requesting some flexibility on lot area and
width. The Park Board has reviewed the request and recommend
approval with the dedication of the park land indicated. This
dedication would include much of the wetland. The report
recommended approval with the conditions listed in the staff
report.
Mr. Kirk Corson was present and indicated that the plat has
been revised several times. This plan appears to be the best
use of the property and provides for fewer lots then
previously request.
Monika Slatten indicated concern regarding the several
variances needed, especially for Lots 3 & 4. Mr. Brixius
explained that the property had been Zoned R1 and recently
rezoned to R1X. With the previous zoning, these variances
would not have been necessary.
Mr. Glen Bowen of Black Duck Drive was present and expressed
concern about addition street run-off eventually flowing into
Reshanau Lake, surface water control and filtering of the run
off. He suggested a full comprehensive plan and an
environmental impact statement for this sensitive area.
Mr. Corson explained that Rice Creek Watershed District had
reviewed the request and approved the revised plan. He
indicated that they have worked very hard with both the City
and Rice Creek to come up with a development plan that would
Planning & Zoning Board 10 August 12, 1992
have minimum impact.
Mr. Bowen requested that the City check how this development
will affect the property owners downstream and insure that
they are adequately protected. He believes there should be
better silt fences and better protection standards when the
impact is over such a large area as this is. He also
suggested dual holding ponds.
Mr. Corson stated that a hydrologist reviewed the plan and
recommended the dedication of an addition 1 1/2 acres of
wetlands. They have had to jump through many hoops to get
the plan that is being reviewed tonight.
Mr. Brixius added that the property directly to the west is
Zoned R1 with a greater density than that proposed. The
park/wetland dedication enhances the project.
Mr. Gelbman and Mr. Mesich had concerns regarding the
shoreland and the park dedication that allowed these lots
not to be considered riparian lakeshore. Chairman Schaps
stated that there seems to be many defects in the plan
submitted.
MOTION: Mr. Gelbman made a motion to deny the request. The
motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Mesich stated that his concerns would be lessened if the
lots met the RIB zoning requirements. Mr. Robinson suggested
the plat be resubmitted with lots that are correct in size
for the zoning district. Mr. Corson explained that it was
the Planners suggestion that this proposal be for a PDO which
allows flexibility in lot width and depth.
Mr. Robinson moved and was supported by Mr. Gelbman to table
the request. On roll call, all voted aye. Motion carried.

Mr. Lloyd McKinney was present to discuss this item and
stated that they are requesting permission to add a
24 x 36 garage to the south side of their manufacturing
building on 4th Avenue. Staff has recommended approval of
the request with conditions listed in the staff report.
MOTION: Mr. Mesich moved approval of the request with the

Re: Park N-10 - Space Analysis.
Dear Marty,
As per your verbal authorization, I have completed a park development space needs
analysis for N-10. The attached graphic illustrates the space requirements associated with
the facilities programmed for this park as defined in.the Comprehensive Park Plan and
Development Guide (copy attached).
As the graphic illustrates, 10 acres should be considered the minimum land area necessary
to ensure that all program elements will physically fit on the site as well as allow sufficient
space for other functional park elements, such as reserve and ornamentation.
Although the configuration of the site is somewhat linear, it should still function reasonably
well for neighborhood park uses. This is especially true given the sites optimal location with
respect to the linear trail system.
Although the graphic should be fairly straight forward, there are a number of critical
concerns that I feel you should consider during your own analysis of the park's space needs:
• the land acquired (through park dedication or direct purchase) should be high
ground. Wetland or marginal lowland land should be avoided because it is typically
no more suitable for park development than it is for residential housing. A good
case in point is the nearby Shenandoah Park, where a fair portion of the park
consists of poor soils which are unsuitable for park development. If you recall, one
of the goals of the community is for quality parks. Naturally, the quality of the land
is at the forefront of achieving this objective.
• it should be noted that the park's configuration is based on my best interpretation
of the base mapping provided by the city and my understanding as to the extent of
the adjacent wetland. Naturally, the exact park boundaries will need to be confirmed
by field research and review of more complete base mapping. Again, 10 acres of
upland should be considered minimal given this park's development program.

• when negotiating for land, you should consider the objectives as defined under
Future Development Issues for N-10 (copy attached). As defined, this park (as well
as all parks) plays an important part in the overall park system. The integrity of the
system depends upon all of its components coming together to form a cohesive
whole rather than a collection of eclectic parts that do not function together. As you
recall, this was one of the issues of most concern to the city at the very beginning
of this planning process. This is a vital point that should always be considered during
negotiations with developers and land owners.
• although the plan is intended to allow for a certain amount of flexibility with respect
to actual park boundaries, substantial deviation from the location as defined in the
Comprehensive Park Plan and Development Guide should be undertaken with
extreme caution and,where possible, avoided. Each deviation from the original plan
has a ripple effect on the entire system, usually resulting in a loss in the plan's
overall integrity and, most importantly, the park system's ability to enhance the
quality of life that those moving to the city are seeking.
If you have any questions or concerns, please give me a call.
Sincerely,
