Planning and Zoning Commission
Dec. Minutes
The Dec. 21 meeting of the Lino Lakes Planning Commission was called to order by
Chairman Glen Rehbein. Minutes of previous meeting were read and approved.
Members present were Glen Rehbein, Jester, Cardinal, Stanley, Bryant & Klepel.
Mr. Larry Reginer appeared for information on the procedure necessary to add
16 feet to his lot from an adjoining lot. The Chairman read Ordinance 31A and
stated that he would need a variance. After further discussions a motion was
made by Jester, seconded by Stanley, that we recommend that the Council grant a
variance to Mr. Reginer so he can add the south 16 ft of Lot 8, block 6
Lexington Park, Lakeview Addition to his property.
In business forwarded from the Cancil, Andy Cardinal reported that the Planning
Commission look into the following:
1. Study elevation of village for purpose of sewage
2. Study village for areas of preliminary zoning such as high class
residential, industrial and the practice of building homes on land
now zoned commercial.
3. Study the possibility of rezoning the corners of interstate highways to
commercial.
4. The renaming. (or naming) of certain new roads within our village mostly
created by the new freeways
Representatives of the Carle:r Assoc. (village engineer) appeared and reported on
various studies that had been made by them at the requestof previous Councils.
The purpose of this was to make the present planning commission aware of these
studies, in the event that developers would asl: questions regarding sower, water,
etc. Also they made several recommendations as to planning the village.
George Gotwaldt made the statement that the planning commission 'should work on a
2—
preliminary comprehensive villa: plan and that you d_ntt have to i:ire a
professional planner as nobody is better able to plan the area than the
people who have lived there.
A map and study report was shown on sewers wiitt':in our village. This was
first done in 1961 at which time preliminary study was made based on natural
drainage elevations, proposed meximum populati.: n etc. In l of a comprehensive
sewer study was done in the area north of and west of 'E_iehway 8 to deteri. °_ine wether
we should put a pipe under the freeways then or wait till later. Booklets
showing the results of t'.e e studies will be given to the Flae:fe Board members.
EstLeeted costs were arrived at, for c:: eplo: t :e Lakeview area was esti!_.: ca
cost ) 7 per root o t plus othersaeser .c.r. r r
fees would bring the total assessment to approximately ;1:7 3 per lot ;with 30
year interest added to t'. is the cost would be about e0,000. It was pointed out
this cost is comparable to other areas putting in sewer and that there is the
possibility of federal rants cseecially because of the Youth Center. The map
gave the locations of trunk lines and vagious interceptions and the approximate cost
of each. The main plan is to run lines both sides of the c'ri.ain of- lakes as
ttis is the natural drain ::e pattern. Also shown i^rere locations of low areas which
would reuire a lift station.
The problem of homes being built on low land was brought out. It was
pointed out that homes built below the road fir: >.de level or on low ground would
much cost to a sewer system as te e standard depth of sewer line is 8 ft. It was
recommended that homes not be built b °low the standard of 18 inches or 1 fibot
above the road grade. Also recommended that the Lake shore not be built up because
of the low elevation and resultant sewer problems but that we rothe.: follow the
example of Iiinneapolis and other towns and cities which 'have kept the lakes open
to all by having a road around the lake, and by havin,: a minimum elevation at
which a home can be built.
3-
It was also pointed out that inquires by developers of apartments, trailer
courts, etc. should be referred to the State Board o_=' Health first so they can
determine whether the project w:uld be acceptable to the state re; ::_rdinP,
elevation, location for drains ge of sew a ;e. This would save the village the
trouble of ap_croving a project which t :_e StateEoard of Health would reject.
In 1961 a study was made for a water system in our village. A map was shown
with proposed locations of lines. In general the village was divided into 3
rater districts, west, east, south.
Rehbein brought up the proposed road maps which the planning board is
working on, these are laid out on section maps aloe section lines. Carley
ssoc. said they would take these maps and have their draftsman translate this to
a village map for about 5;20.00. It was felt that copies of this map would be
valuable for the Planning Commission, Council and Building Inspector.
Motion made by Kiepel, seconded by Jester that we recommend the Council
authorize preparation ofl the Proposed T'._orou`hfare Maps of Lino Lakes. Carried.
The Road Study Committee will meet on Jan S7th at epm village mall.
On a motion by Jester, seconded by Bryant meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted
