93 Councilmember Lyden said he has some concern about density. People move to Lino Lakes for open
94 space and larger lots. He is afraid that this zoning ordinance doesn't do enough to preserve the
95 opportunity for larger lots (such as with a 2.5 minimum). Mayor Rafferty remarked that he sees the
96 value in that comment but it really has more to do with land planning rather than land use (which
97 would relate to this ordinance).
