Roll Call was taken, members in attendance were Brian Bourassa, John Bauman, George Lindy, Ken Johnson, Ray Johnson and Jacquelyn Farm. Also in attendance were Linda Elliott, City Council Liaison, Marty Asleson, Parks, Recreation and Forestry Coordinator, Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor and Carole Kohler Parks Secretary. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The minutes of the December 7, 1992 meeting were approved with no corrections or additions. OPEN MIKE: No one appeared under open mike OLD BUSINESS• Woods of Baldwin Lake/Clyde Rehbein Development - Marty Asleson address the board with an explanation of the current status of this development. The Woods of Baldwin Lake developer, Mr. Clyde Rehbein, has proposed a development of approximately 10. 16 acres. This development is intended to be a single family subdivision located along proposed White Pine Road and Oakwood Lane. The site lies directly south of the Rice Creek County Regional Trail Park. There are plans for 16 lots. The preliminary plat is ready to move on to the council for approval pending the outcome of tonight's meeting. The total of dedicated park land being proposed is 2 . 18 acres, of which approximately 1 acre is wetland. However, the dry land total would satisfy the 10% land dedication requirement. The park land being dedicated lies just east of Oakwood Lane. This park would be classified as a mini park and would temporarily provide a neighborhood park until the approximate 6 acres called for in the comprehensive plan can be acquired to the south. In attendance were several neighbors from the area who are still concerned with the location of the park. Mary Johnson, a resident who lives on White Pine Road addressed the board with her concern that the dedicated land in question is too low and could be a problem for young children. She suggested the city look into a 2 acre parcel further to the east she says is also for sale. Marty Asleson explained that everyone seems to be in agreement that this size park and the location is far from ideal, but at this time is probably the best solution to give the residents a neighborhood park they can use temporarily until surrounding properties can be obtained to complete the overall plan. Up to this point Marty has ,.� run into many dead-ends in his pursuit of park land property in 1 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1993 this area. Any available property seems to have been sold just before us or is priced too high to make a purchase practical. There was a long discussion where there were questions regarding low lands. Mary Johnson commented that the pond in the proposed park area is not really what she would consider a pond. It's "dirty and messy, and needs cleaning up. " One neighbor who resides in the property to the south of the proposed park is concerned about the trails coming in. There was also concern as to whether the necessary low land permits could be obtained. Jeff Knutson, representative for the developer was in attendance and explained that he hasn't gone through the permitting process yet, that would be the next step after preliminary plat approval from the council. George Lindy thinks that there is enough concern shown tonight that it may not be a good idea to make a decision until the entire board has a chance to view the property. Because this matter is scheduled to go before the city council for approval of the preliminary plat next Monday, it was decided that a special meeting of the park board to view and make a decision on the park dedication be set for this Saturday, February 6th at 12 : 00 noon. n Woodridge Estates - Update: This is a follow up to concerns brought before the board in January of 1992 by Mr. Appleby and Mr. Kuny, both residents of Woodridge Lane. At that time both residents expressed how unhappy they were that the developer (Rick Carlson) had recently placed trails very close to their houses. It seems that the developer located the trails different from where the city expected they would be. They were not aware at the time they purchased their houses that trails would be situated were they are. They asked for suggestions from the board. The board agreed that it should be the developers obligation to provide a trail access and alternatives. They also stated that they would prefer not to see a trail where it is legally described and would like to see an alternate route. Staff was then asked to seek legal advice on this matter. Marty Asleson explained that upon legal advice from the city attorney he was advised to communicate to the developer that if the trail segment is not completed by this spring (when this becomes a workable situation) that the city will take steps to prompt the developer to follow through. This could possibly include the withholding of escrow dollars and future building permits. Mr. Kuny has requested we keep him apprised of any progress. There is no other information to report at this time. Shores of Marshan Lake - The developer has submitted letters to the Army Corps of Engineers applying for permits to have parts of the � trail relocated. There is no further information on that process at 2 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1993 this time. Marty Asleson reports that he has been directed as staff to spend no more time on this issue, and that the city council may consider trail relocation if the developer has the permits approved. The city council does not want to consider a trail/sidewalk situation. John Bauman suggested that perhaps there should be minimum setback requirements so that this trail placement problem doesn't surface again in future developments. Linda Elliott explained that the council has made it a policy that from now on there will be no final plat approval by the council until the trail plans are accepted by the park board and the developer must adhere to that rule. Brandywood Trail Permit - Marty Asleson brought the park board up to date on the progress of this trail issue. A permit has been applied for from the Department of Natural Resources to allow a trail crossing of protected wetlands in the Brandywood development. The DNR did not approve the permit request. It suggested the alternative of a boardwalk be designed in the area. Mr. Asleson says that the possibility of an appeal of the DNR decision could be considered pending the outcome of a similar request by another city. If the eventual appeal is in the favor of the city, then we could expect to be able to culvert the two crossings in Brandywood. In the meantime he has asked SEH to give us a budget for the design and expediting of the boardwalk permit. He will also ask Brauer & Associates to submit a similar budget. Mr. Asleson is of the understanding that in the Brandywood second addition, it is the responsibility of the city to design and contract for the wetland crossings and the costs will be assessed to the Brandywood project. Marty suggested the board consider whether they thought it would be worth the costs and time to appeal the permit decision. He will get more information on boardwalks. The board as a whole was of the opinion that the money should be spent to appeal the decision. Recreation Updates - Brochure: Barry Bernstein explained that staff has already begun to put information together for the upcoming Spring and Summer Parks and Recreation brochure. We will be able to offer increased opportunities in summer programs because of the availability of Rice Lake Elementary facilities. We have also expanded our program offerings so the brochure could be up to 12 pages this year compared to the 8 page brochure last year. Adult Indoor Soccer: We have an opportunity to use the indoor 3 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARR BOARD MEETING MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1993 soccer facility at the new Centennial Sports Arena. There is a charge to us of $55 per hour. Barry Bernstein thinks that we could use the arena for approximately 5 hours per week at a total charge of $2200 for 8 weeks. This would accommodate two adult soccer leagues, one men's league and one co-rec league. Other costs involved would include sports officials, time keepers and miscellaneous trophies. Total expenses would be $3922 . Income generated from entry fees for 6 men's teams and 4 co-rec teams would be $4740, showing a profit of $817. As long as this is a new venture we will not have to sign a contract for the use of the arena. Marty Asleson asked the board for a motion to approve the use of the arena. MOTION: John Bauman made a motion to recommend that the Parks and Recreation Department rent the Centennial Sports Arena to program adult indoor soccer leagues. The motion was seconded by Brian Bourassa. All were in favor. Motion carried. Star of the North Games: The star of the North Summer Games is an olympic style, multi sport competition held annually for all Minnesota amateur athletes regardless of age or ability. It will conduct its 1993 Summer Games in the north metro communities of Blaine, Circle Pines, Fridley, Mounds View, New Brighton and Spring Lake Park. Star of the North Games will sponsor their 10, 000 Lakes Classic adult softball tournament in the north metro area on June 12-13 . We have been contacted by Brian Hegseth, Centennial School District Facility Coordinator to support their efforts by way of the use of our facilities and human resources. Our city council has adopted a resolution to support the Star of the North Games. Mr. Hegseth will be in contact with us as the plans progress. Marty Asleson will keep the board informed. Birch Park: Marty Asleson referred to a letter he received from homeowners in the D. Erickson Addition in which they thanked him and all involved in the improvements to Birch Park. The improvements included a new warming house (the shelter donated from The City of Shoreview) , lights in the parking lot and new swings and a slide. The residents also stated that they would be willing to supply the labor to paint the shelter this Spring. Copies of this letter were also sent to The Mayor and Council Members and the Public Works Director. NEW BUSINESS• City Hall Project - This is a follow up from the last park board meeting regarding the idea of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves ,•-� Construction Battalion using City Hall Park as a project. Appearing 4 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARR BOARD MEETING MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1993 before the board was Sergeant Ivanfeld. He explained that the Corps Reserves are always looking for training activities and has a wealth of human resources and equipment available for this type of project. They would be able to do all aspects of work involved in the project that could make good use of the unused land on the north side of city hall. That would include surveying landscaping, grading and even building a new shelter. Sergeant Ivanfeld explained that the Government encourages the Corps to find projects with civilians because it projects a good image for them and it's good PR. He went on to explain that most of the people in this reserve division are self employed contractors. There may be the need for union approval, but in the past there has been no problem along those lines. The work will only be done on the week-ends and could possibly be completed in one summer. He would like to start surveying this year. Marty Asleson suggested the corps work with Brauer & Associates to develop a master plan for the park. The Sergeant will send the plan on to Marine Headquarters and will keep us informed. The entire board agreed that this looks like an exciting project and are anxious to get started . MOTION: Brian Bourassa made a motion that Marty Asleson work with Sergeant Ivanfeld of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Construction Battalion and his staff to prepare drawings and whatever is necessary to set the scenario and then get Jeff Schoenbauer of Brauer & Associates involved to set up a master plan. It was seconded by Ken Johnson. Motion carried. Centennial Little League - Marty Asleson reviewed the request by Centennial Little League to use our fields again this summer. Along with their request for use of fields at Rice Lake Elementary, Shenandoah and Sunrise Park, they have asked for the use of Birch Park from 4 p.m. to dark Monday through Friday. George Lindy seems to think that using Birch Park every night may be too much. He doesn't want to see anyone monopolizing the facilities. Marty explained that there has been a re-structuring of the Little League organization in this area, and that in the near future there will be a Lino Lakes Little League. The focus will be more on the demand from our city. He explained that the league is willing to help us with improvements and have the funds to make the investment. Barry Bernstein and Marty Asleson will draft a letter to confirm limited use and compromise to the Centennial Little League. All Boards Meeting - The Mayor and Council has suggested a goal setting session where all boards of the city will meet together with them in a relaxed atmosphere to discuss issues pertinent to their group. This goal setting session is scheduled for this Saturday, February 6th. Marty Asleson reminded the board of the 5 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARR BOARD MEETING MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1993 meeting and handed put a proposed agenda. OTHER NEW BUSINESS - There was no other new business. ADJOURN - The board voted unanimously to adjourn the meeting at 9 : 30 p.m. 6 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD SPECIAL MEETING FEBRUARY 6, 1993 A special meeting of the Lino Lakes Park Board was called to order by Ken Johnson at 12:07 pm on Saturday, February 6, 1993 at the proposed park site of the Woods of Baldwin Lake Estates development. Members in attendance were Jacquelyn Farm, Ken Johnson, Brian Bourassa, John Bauman. George Lindy joined the meeting at 12: 15 pm. Board member not in attendance was Ray Johnson. City staff in attendance was Marty Asleson. Also in attendance was Mr. Tim Kytonen, representing CR Investments (Clyde Rehbein) the developer, and a good representation of neighborhood residents. This special meeting was called at the site so that the board could view the proposed park site prior to making a recommendation to the council. ,.•r After assessing the property there was discussion regarding access to the park area from White Pine Road and the need to pursue the national permitting process to get permits to fill the ponding. area. Also considered was staking the boundaries and re-shaping the pond. There is a possibility of obtaining an easement along the old St. Paul Water Works property from the new owners. The developer indicated he will pursue placing houses on the proposed park property should it not be acceptable for park use. A big area of concern was maintaining the integrity of the natural ponding area. We will still pursue the six acres total park area for the neighborhood. MOTION: Brian Bourassa made a motion to recommend to accept the proposed park area as a park, conditionally to further review with the developer, the possibility of re-shaping the pond and to obtain the permits from the Corps of Engineers for access. The motion was seconded and unanimously carried. ADJOURN: Upon unanimous vote the meeting was adjourned at 12:25 pm. AGENDA ITEM 14-A STAFF ORIGINATOR Marty Asieson DATE February 19, 1993 TOPIC Woods of Baldwin Lake Update BACKGROUND A special meeting was held by the Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Board at 12:00 pm on Saturday, February 6, at the proposed park site in the Woods of Baldwin Lake Development. The purpose of the meeting was to allow the Park Board an opportunity to view the proposed site and answer questions concerning access and usable open space. There was a good representation of the neighborhood present. Basically, these folks had the same questions; There was agreement by the Park Board that the site should lend itself to be a suitable short term (could possibly be long term) , although not ideal solution to finding public open space for the neighborhood to use as a park. This would be a mini-park essentially, and further efforts would be made to secure additional land as it becomes available. The motion was passed to accept the proposed park area for the dedication requirements from the developer, with a couple of conditions. One condition was to further review with the developer the possibilities of re-shaping the pond so that a trail might be installed on the east side for access.- The other condition was that the Army Corps of Engineers would authorize this work to be done. The motion was seconded and unanimously carried. Please find enclosed a copy of a letter from Mr. Clyde Rehbein concerning his `intents regarding these matters. Item no 2 states that he is willing to construct a non-bituminous walking trail with on-site material along the east property line. The walking trail` will be approximately 8 feet by 250 feet and will begin at the northeast corner of the property. Mr. Rehbein informed me that this meant a gravel trail. He also indicated that the city would be responsible for ,acquir'ng the necessary permits from the Corps. We have acquired the permit application and are now waiting for the wetland to be delineated.

I believe that the following has been agreed upon: 1 . Lot 1 , Block 1 of the Woods of Baldwin Lake, according to the Preliminary Plat, will be dedicated to the City in full satisfaction of the City' s park dedication requirements . 2 . In addition to the above, the developers will construct a non-bituminous walking trail with on-site material along the east property line. This walking trail will be approximately 8 feet x 250 feet and will begin at the northeast corner of the property. I believe this summarizes our agreement. If you have any questions concerning these items, please call me at 784-4063 . Very truly yo s, Clyde Rehbein kb AGENDA ITEM �' y / � STAFF ORIGINATOR Marty Asleson DATE Feb 24 TOPIC Brandywood Park Update BACKGROUND Please find the attached minutes and development agreement for the Brandywood park dedication. Also please find attached an aerial photo of the existing park boundaries and future expansion areas., Park Plate No. : 19 on gage 6-62 of the comprehensive plan shows a need of approximately acres of park area for this area. It also shows that 5 acres now exist in the development. I believe that we were incorrect on giving this figure to Jeff Schoenbauer when the comp plan was finalized. The actual dedication is 2.6 Acres of upland. As part of the agreement with the Park Board concerning the dedication for Brandywood the developer was to purchase an additional acre of land to meet his requirement of 3.6 acres total, or donate an additional $7,000 -for the- purchase-of this land. Mr. Fitzgerald did approach the property owners to the south to buy this additional land and they did not want to sell at that time. It appears that they are horse owners and would then not have the minimum acreage totals to keep the animals. This update is as requested when phase 3 of Brandywood develops (July 9, 1990 Park Board Meeting) . The developer at this time is proposing to pay $7000.00 to fulfill the dedication requirements for Brandywood Development, and has met dedication requirements for phases 1 and 2. OPTIONS 1. ) Accept the $7000.00 and purchase land to the south when it becomes available. - IRECOMMENDATION It appears that right now this is the only option. sxErickson Brandywood Estates Fitzgerald Brandywood Estates 2nd approval to the plat of the Subdivision upon execution and delivery of this agreement and of all required petitions, bond and security.

In the event that Developer violates any of the covenants and agreements contained in this Development Contract and to be performed by the Developer, the City, at its option, in addition to the rights and remedies as set out hereunder may refuse to issue building permits to any property within the plat until such time as such default has been corrected to the satisfaction of the City. XIII. PARK DEDICATION. The City hereby agrees that the park dedication shown within the subdivision shall satisfy all land dedication requirements except one acre to lie conveyed at the time of the third addition. When Outlot A of the subdivision is replatted as the second subdivision, Developer will perform grading work within the park areas shown on the first and second additions to make same suitable for passive uses according to the concept plan. Such grading costs shall not exceed Five Thousand and no/100 ($5, 000) Dollars. At the time that the third addition is developed, Developer will dedicate one additional acre within, or without, the plat or the cash equivalent, at the option of the REF DC03 15 I ! I ' RR BOARD MEETING y 9, 1990 g oded, populated with wetlands. There will be some wetland 11. The wetland by the proposed park land will be rtially filled. thin the site is a 2.75 acre parcel proposed for park. As is 75% percent of the park dedication required. A .tland area will be adjacent to the park land, but not used part of the park dedication requirement. ie developer proposes a park trail through the park, a play -ea for children, horseshoe pits, picnic tables, and a _ewing stand along the trail. i iy Johnson asked for clarification that the trails are not in of any park dedication requirement. i iy Johnson stated that when Dennis Ericksons developed D. -ickson's 2nd Addition, the park issue was not completed as as expected.. And the park board wants to be sure that the ark is completed as promised for Brandywood. teve Johnston's proposal is for the land, along with $7, 000 ash to complete the park dedication requirement. arl 'itzgerald, Developer, was also present at the meeting. hey have been negotiating with the property owners in urchasing land immediately south of this parcel, they have of resolved this issue yet. ark Fitzgerald stated that he talked with the adjacent land wners twice, and they made no decisions regarding whether or .ot they can purchase the land for park. They said they anted to think about it but wouldn't rule it out. They :onsider their property a hobby farm. If they sell a portion �f their land, they want to still be able keep their horse. _f he could get that in writing, from the city, then they may )e more willing. city code requires a five acre minimum to allow the resident to have a horse. If they sold enough of :heir land to meet the park dedication, the property owners could be shy of their five acre requirement by 4/10 of an acre. 3ill Nissen pointed out that if they do accept the park dedication and the $71000.00 cash. They could use that money towards putting something nice into that park. Steve Johnstone stated that he is proposing to develop approximately 1/3 or the site now. John Miller joined the meeting to answer some questions regarding this plat. He ''�id that this parcel is zoned rural. 4 Page 3 i � 1 a ARK BOARD MEETING ay 9, 1990 ohn Miller feels that if the property owners adjacent to -randywood wanted to sell a portion of their property for ,ark purposes, the owners could still keep their horse ,roviding that when the horse dies, then they could not have .nother horse, because it doesn't meet the requirements. Andy Neal stated that the park dedication requirements will )e looked at, and the rates may increase by the time phase :wo is developed. John Miller felt that this is a good idea. tay Johnson said that the property owners could have the -ights to the land until the park development started. The :stimated time is three years. Steve Johnston suggested that the park board accept the full Land dedication within Brandywood Plat with phase 1. When .he developer starts construction on phase 2 then they will jive the park board a cash dedication at the current rate or 3urchase that 1/2 acre parcel from the adjacent property , 3wners. ` f Bill Nissen feels that the additional land would be nice, but feels that the cash dedication would be beneficial to put int,g�the existing Brandywood park. Bil-L Nissen added that phase 3 's construction should not begin until the park is completed. j.. Steve Johnston asked how the park board would like to see the park, what improvements would they like to see before phase 3 's construction begins. Ken Johnson explained that the trails should be brought to grade and completed through the park. MOTION: Bill Nissen moved to recommend to the city council park dedication for Brandywood Addition. The land specified in proposal A, a 2.75 acre parcel, be dedicated immediately for acceptance in phase 1, and the balance of either B, the parcel immediately south of the site, or a cash dedication of the current park fee at the time of phase 2 's construction be dedicated. (Before phase 3 is constructed, the plat will come before park board, to assure the board that phase 1 and 2 it park dedication requirements have been met. Also trails have to be benched in before construction of phase 3. John Bauman seconded the motion and the motion was approved unanimously. Bill Nissen requested that the section of park land that the developer hopes to purchase to the south of the plat not be shown on the plat until it is purchased from the land owner. } PAPIK DEDICATION FOR A MINOR SUBDIVISION FOR STEVE AND LINDA BA ,EY.

Marty explained that trails could ` e constructed leading to the park from Rice Lake Estates. ohn Tennesen likes the idea of the intersection of Blue geron Drive and Sandhill creating a tot lot. i The option of selling the two lots that were part of the park dedication, and claiming the outlot as park dedication. Then tennis courts could be installed in that parcel. Marty Asleson felt that Anoka County would be willing to incorporate part of their land for a tot lot. Marty stated that he will check in to all the options and pole the neighborhood, get the residents together and find out what they would like for the park. 3 ;Candy Toffoli stated that she considers herself a citizen of the City of Lino Lakes and she doesn't feel that each neighborhood should have a say as to where their park should be and what should be in it, because no one would want to .. have the park in "their back yard". She also felt that it : isn't good practice to wait until the development is 50% completed, because of course, nobody would want the traffic, =Nand park next to their lot. .` Marty stated that ideally the land should be dedicated before the houses go in. Then have a neighborhood meeting to decide x, what to put into the park land that was dedicated. Ray Johnson stated that the park dedication at this site has a little different circumstance than the usual. Marty stated that normally, residents do appreciate being ' included in deciding what will be in their neighborhood park. Ray Johnson disagrees with a neighborhood meeting once the development is 50% complete. CONSIDERATION OF PARR DEDICATION FOR BRANDYROOD/STEDE JOHNSTON FROM MERILLA & ASSOCIATES.

There are no land dedication needs on this parcel. There is a trail dedication that Mr. Granger has addressed in his proposal. The trail. on the east side would link into the old trapper trail that was accepted as part of the dedication in the Living Waters ,parcel to the east. Mr. Granger has provided us with a link on the west side to gain access to Country Lakes Park. He has also agreed to provide the transportation trail along, Birch Street as indicated in our comprehensive plan. This ties into the transportation trail that Living Waters will construct. Thus, Mr Granger is proposing a dollar dedication.

RECOMMENDATION Proceed with this program and continue to seek additional funding if this pilot program is successful. LINO LAKES PARKS AND RECREATION PROGRAM PLANNING AND EVALUATION FORM PROGRAM: Adaptive Recreation Programmer YEAR: 1993 LOCATION: City Wide SEASON: summer Pilot Program TIMES: Programmer would work (3) days per week for approximately 22 weeks or 65 days. This would be about 520 hours. The hours for this person would vary according with the needs of the target population. The initial phase of this program would be organizational in nature, and timed so as not to "dead - end" the pilot program in the middle of a possible funding cycle. The best starting time would be the latter part of the year. DESCRIPTION: This would be a Pilot program to address the recreational needs of the Lino Lakes residents with disabilities. Funding for this program would be through Community Development Block Grant Monies. The initial phase of this program would be used to organize, promote, and communicate with the target population, with some initial outcome service program facilitation. With the success of the pilot program we would ask for additional support in the following years for CDBG funds. This program would be in compliance with the governing policies section of our parks and recreation comprehensive plan. One of the stated goals of this section states the need to provide opportunity for all community residents to participate in recreational activities . This includes persons with disabilities. INSTRUCTOR: Programmer would have a Therapeutic Recreation Degree PAY SCALE: $12 .50 PROGRAM CONTENT: This program would address the integrated needs of this population of residents by establishing a focus committee addressing the needs of the user. PROGRAM GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: To organize, identify, and open communication with persons with dissabilities in Lino Lakes. To integrate and mainstream as much as possible, and to program equal opportunity/recreational experience for the disabled residents of Lino Lakes. PROGRAM NEEDS AND IMPACTS: The data is three years old for Lino Lakes specifically, but the State Demographic office had the following statistics for the City of Lino Lakes: i r Disability of Civilian Non-institutionalized persons - Persons 16 - 64 years-----------------5,380 With a mobility or self-care limitation--------315 With a mobility limitation---------------------288 With a self care limitation---------------------43 With a work disability-------------------------288 In labor force--------------------------196 Prevented from working--------------------------59 Persons 65 years or older---------------281 With a mobility or self-care limitation----------95 With a mobility limitation-----------------------95 With a self-care limitation----------------------37 Note: this program would address the under 16 age catagory also. The spacial operating needs of another staff person would be a concern. We would find the room. We may be able to use the North Metro office area.

If a single compact fluorescent light bulb was installed in each,the energy equivalent of about 60 million incandescent bulbs would be saved. This would be the equivalent of all energy generated by one nuclear powerplant running full-time for a year. • Substituting a compact fluorescent light for a traditional bulb will keep 1/2 ton of CO2 out of the atmosphere over the life of the light bulb.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Al Robinson moved approval of the minutes of the January 13 , 1993 meeting as submitted and was supported by John Landers. All voted aye. Motion carried. III. OPEN MIRE: No one was present for open mike. IV. ACTION ITEMS: A. CONCEPT REVIEW - Otter Creek Estates, Roger Kolstad Mr. Roger Kolstad was present representing North Suburban Development and requesting concept review of an 80 acre subdivision proposing 180 single family R-1 lots. The property is on the eastern side of I-35E just south of Cedar Street. Homes are anticipated to be valued between $110, 000 and $130, 000. Planning Consultant Brixius presented several preliminary comments some of which are highlighted below: - Rezoning will be necessary from R to R-1 - Comprehensive Plan indicates site as RE, Rural Expansion with utilities to be provided after the year 2010. Proposal not consistent with the Plan and may be considered "leap frog" development and possibly premature - Property is located within the MUSA - Areas within the 100 year flood plain need to be delineated as do other wetland areas. Park land can not consist solely of wetland and must be reviewed and approved by Park Board - Ordinance No. 92-93 provides for a policy on the location of new development and states that the developer must demonstrate that any new development will be cost effective Planning & Zoning Board 2 Feb. 10, 1993 - Generally the subdivision design appears well-conceived however the number of lots proposed may be optimistic - Street configuration needs some modifications including orientation of lots on Cedar Street which is classified as a collector street, double frontage lots off Otter Lake, future consideration to western triangle not a part of this plat, access to the property on to the south and east, preservation of trees on site - Expansion of utilities must be approved by City Engineer In response to these concerns, Mr. Kolstad stated that they would be willing to work with the City in redesigning the plat to conform with suggestions raised. A sewer trunk is available on Cedar Street and should not create any hardship for the City in connecting to it. A well could be installed to serve the development. The DNR and FEMA have indicated that an amendment to the flood plain map may be possible changing the flood elevation from 920' to 9161 . There are 4 to 8 acres of wetland and the developer would be willing to have these areas delineated at this time. Darrell Schneider indicated that the wetland delineation is very important at this time. In regard to a question from Kathy Nordine, Darrell questioned the feasibility of a well to serve the site and indicated that a system would need to be designed to serve the entire area adding that cost may be prohibitive at this time. John Landers asked what school district would be involved here and what the procedure was in notifying them. Staff advised that the property is in the White Bear School District. Chairman Schaps closed the discussion by indicating that although many concerns were expressed there was a favorable response to the proposal. B. CONCEPT REVIEW - Country Lakes Estates, Rich Granger Planning Consultant Brixius reviewed preliminary staff comments concerning this 40 acre plat. The property is Zoned R-1 and 67 lots are proposed. Some modifications have been made based on previous discussion with Mr. Granger. Generally this plat appears acceptable. The cul-de-sacs proposed are longer than required but alternatives do not appear available. Consideration of buildable area is questions as to whether to consider that area above the OHWM or the 100 year flood elevation. ^ Staff will be discussing this matter further. Mr. Schneider explained that development of this plat is Planning & Zoning Board 3 Feb. 10, 1993 essential for the extension of the trunk sewer in the area. It will also prove timely for the development of the Living Waters Church site to the east. The proposal appears workable. Chairman Schaps closed the discussion by indicating that the request had received favorable consideration. C. CONCEPT REVIEW - K. Corson, Anderson property between Old Birch Street and Ericksons 2nd Addition Mr. Corson explained that Hokanson Development is interesting in platting a 4.6 acre parcel of property into 6 lots. According to Mr. Corson's weltand expert, the Type 1 and 2 wetland on this site may require some mitigation and will limit the platting to 6 lots. According to Mr. Corson, this mitigation process is still 1 x 1 until July 1, 1993. Access has been provided to this site from Erickson's 2nd Addition and the extension of Aspen Lane. Mr. Brixius pointed out some minor constraints involving lot depth on the corner lot, ownership of the right of way, park dedication, compliance with flood plain ordinance and wetland requirements, and possible extension of the proposed cul-de-sac. Chairman Schaps stated that in general the comments were favorable. V. DISCUSSION ITEMS: A. PUBLIC/SEMI PUBLIC DISTRICT - ORDINANCE AMENDMENT Mr. Brixius presented a revised ordinance amendment for consideration. It was suggested by Kathy Nordine that elementary schools be included with Jr. and Sr. High Schools as a conditional use. Chairman Schaps agreed that all districts should be consistent. After some discussion the Board decided to hold a Public Hearing at the March loth meeting to review the ordinance amendment. B. Al Robinson advised the Board that the Economic Advisory Board is asking the City Council to take a look at updating the City's Comprehensive Plan. C. John Landers stated that he had received a complaint concerning Budget Auto on 2nd Avenue and whether or not their operation is contaminating the ground water. It was suggested that the County may have a department to deal with such matters and Mary Kay indicated she would check into it. IV. ADJOURNMENT: Upon the unanimous consent of the Board the meeting was adjourned at 8: 00 P.M.
