3B) Resolution No. 14 -12, Approving Withdrawal from Centennial Fire District 18
(CFD) Joint Powers Agreement II – Mayor explained that the CFD Steering Committee 19
forwarded two amendments to the joint powers agreement (adding veto power) that were 20
both rejected by member cities Centerville and Circle Pines. The result appears to be an 21
impasse and before the council is a resolution that approves w ithdrawal of Lino Lakes 22
from the CFD. If it passes, the JPA does allow a six month period during which the 23
opportunity exists to change the withdrawal, however , he suggests that a change would 24
really have to happen in weeks, not months, because the city does need time to plan for 25
the move ahead. 26
27
3C) Joint Powers Agreement for Intervention in White Bear Lake Level Lawsuit – 28
Administrator Karlson reviewed the current status of discussions among cities named in a 29
lawsuit by a White Bear Lake group agains t the Minnesota Department of Natural 30
Resources (DNR). The lawsuit rel ates to water appropriations. The concept arose 31
among the group of forming a coalition such as a joint powers organization. Discussion 32
points about the City joining such a group inc lude: all administrative remedies for the 33
suit may not yet be exhausted; there are questions about geological data involved; and the 34
cost of participation is unknown. He added that if a joint effor t occurs, the primary focus 35
would be on filing a summary for dismissal. He explained that of the ten cities 36
considering participation, four have already declined the opportunity and one other has 37
capped costs. Mayor Reinert expressed concern about entering a lawsuit with a price in 38
mind – it certainly would n’t cost any less. Council Member Kusterman remarked that 39
the DNR is already defending against the charges so it seems odd that cities would have 40
to join also. Mayor Reinert concurred adding that he wouldn’t support joining a group 41
without more informa tion and with another government entity already involved. Council 42
Member Roeser suggested that the city has a water report that could be pertinent; he 43
added that he fears the politics of more governmental control of water resources may be 44

at the heart of the matter. The council discussed the involvement of state legislators and 45
how that could be helpful. 46
47
6A) Marshan Meadows Second Addition – City Planner Larsen reviewed the reques t 48
before the council to approve a variance from the Shoreland Overla y District, a 49
preliminary and final plat (already done once in the past but not recorded), and a 50
development agreement for a one property development. The lot is being parceled off by 51
the property owner. She indicated on a map the proposed location of a home on the new 52
lot, indicating that the variance is appropriate because it is necessary due to outdated 53
language in the city code. The Planning and Zoning Board does recommend approval of 54
the variance and plat (they do not consider the development agr eement). There is some 55
concern in the neighborhood about a five foot additional allowance on the lot but it is 56
appropriate under the city regulations. Council Member Rafferty indicated that he’d 57
prefer that the restrictions be the same as for other hom es in the area, however, he 58
understands staff’s explanation of that situation. 59
60
6B) 21 st Avenue Street and Utility Improvements – City Engineer Wedel showed the 61
project area on a map and indicated that the project has been under consideration for a 62
couple of years and will facilitate the Park and Ride planned for the area. With a pre -63
agreement for costs in place, no feasibility study is needed. A joint powers agreement 64
with the City of Centerville is also in place since the roadway splits the two cities. He 65
said that staff is ready to move forward on the project. When Council Member Stoesz 66
asked if trails will be included, Mr. Wedel said they will be included in the street right of 67
way. Action is also requested on the purchase of wetland mitigation cre dits as required 68
and a notice of intent to bond. 69

mediations and finally arbitration. He reviewed the terms of the agreement, including decisions 70
rendered by the arbitrator. 71
72
Council Member Kusterman moved to approve Resolution No. 14 -06 as presented. Council Membe r 73
Roeser seconded the motion. Motion carried on a unanimous voice vote. 74
75
3B) Resolution No. 14 -12, Approving Withdrawal from Centennial Fire District (CFD) Joint 76
Powers Agreement II – Administrator Karlson explained that there has been discussion about t he 77
CFD and the joint powers agreement (JPA) that controls governance of the district. The district 78
steering committee forwarded two amendments to the JPA but all member cities did not approve 79
them. A resolution approving the City’s withdrawal from the D istrict is before the council. 80
81
Jerry Streich, CFD Chief, addressed the council. He said that, on behalf of the CFD, there is hope 82
that this matter of Lino Lakes’ withdrawing from the District can be resolved. He believes that 83
everyone involved has the i nterest of the safety of the c ommunity at heart. Further discussion could 84
extend past the January deadline for withdrawal and he thinks there is a resolution to be reached. He 85
noted that the CFD is a dynamic place and, as chief, he has to continually wei gh matters for all three 86
cities and remain neutral in serving all three cities. He believes that if Lino Lakes withdraws from the 87
CFD, service will decrease and costs will be higher at some point. He serves the CFD Steering 88
Committee and all decisions he has made have gone through that group. He encourages the council 89

to continue discussion. The CFD will continue to operate at the highest level of professionalism and 90
to serve its citizens. 91
92
Council Member Roeser moved to approve Resolution No. 14 -12 as presented. Council Member 93
Rafferty seconded the motion. 94
95
Mayor Reinert remarked that he has been concerned with some directions of the CFD and he hasn’t 96
seen that t he steering committee process works to respond to his concerns. He noted that the Ci ty of 97
Lino Lakes pays seventy percent of the cost of the CFD and there is a need for a change in 98
governance. In light of that, a proposal was developed (veto power) that he believes was fair to all 99
member cities. That proposal was developed after discus sions at several steering committee 100
meetings. The proposal was that one member of each city must approve an action. That proposal 101
did not pass through all of the member cities when it was considered. Since the JPA is very limited 102
on when withdrawal i s allowed, an extension of one month was allowed. Therefore in January 103
another proposal was form ed that would include veto authority but put a limit on that power. The 104
steering committee members, including two elected officials from each member city, c ame to a good 105
faith agreement on that proposal but then he was quite frustrated when the proposal did not pass 106
through the other city council s and in fact didn’t receive the vote of three of the four steering 107
committee representatives. He feels that the C ity of Lino Lakes has wanted all along to work this out. 108
He has given consideration to what a withdrawal will look like: 109
- Lino Lakes starts a new fire departmen t and has two years to do so; 110
- The Lino Lakes fire department will be a good one; 111
- The action to withdraw could be rescinded within six months; 112
- The city would plan on building a new fire station on the south side of the city; 113
- The city will receive two -thirds of the CFD equipment and that should be close to enough 114
equipment to run the department; 115
- T he city would be responsible for 100 percent of the cost of its two fire stations; 116
- The city will end up with better coverage with the south side station added. 117
118
Mayor Reinert added that the motion to withdraw is in no way a reflection on the work of the CFD 119
f irefighters. 120
121
Council Member Roeser thanked Chief Jerry Streich for his comments about the fire department staff 122
and he agrees. The council doesn’t know exactly what new services for the city will look like but 123
there will be expert assistance to deter mine the best course. He knows that the area represented by the 124
JPA has changed in th e 28 years the CFD has existed and he is concerned about a situation where this 125
city isn’t treated fairly. Decisions for the current and the future are upon the area a nd it isn’t fair to 126
have a city paying seventy percent of the costs without veto power. He too hopes that the situation 127
can be r esolved with the JPA. 128
129
Council Member Kusterman said he can assure the citizens of Lino Lakes that he has given this 130
decision much consideration. He’s met with the Fire Chief, City Administrator and Mayor. For him 131
this is a question of how the citizens will be best served. Is it best done by people not representing 132
Lino Lakes on the steering committee? It is impe rative that the city’s voice is heard. 133

Council Member Stoesz added that he sees the responsibility of city council members and the mayor 135
to ensure core services t o the citizens. He believes that fire services will be maintained at the highest 136
level and therefore h e can support the withdrawal. 137
138
Council Member Rafferty stated that he feels the administration of the CFD should speak equally to 139
all member cities and the right to veto actions seems like it would be in the best interest of all. This 140
isn’t about fire ser vices but about governance and administration. 141
142
The motion to approve the resolution was adopted on a unanimous voice vote. 143
144
3C) Joint Powers Agreement for Intervention in White Bear Lake Level Lawsuit – 145
Administrator Karlson reviewed the situation where by a White Bear Lake group is suing the 146
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for water violations. Ten cities are named in the lawsuit 147
as well, including the city of Lino Lakes. The idea of the ten cities joining together to form a joint 148
powers orga nization has come forward. Co st allocation to cities has been discussed and would be 149
based on population and water allocation. He noted that intervention is questionable for some 150
reasons: costs are uncertain; some cities have already declined the optio n to participate. 151
152
Mayor Reinert remarked that the matter was discussed at the pre -council work session. As 153
background, the lake level of White Bear Lake is going down and a lawsuit has resulted against the 154
DNR. The council is hearing that there are man y questions unanswered about joining this group and 155
what is at the end is unknown. He fears that getting involved would be like throwing money at a 156
wild card. Furthermore the DNR is officially on the case. 157
158
Council Member Roeser noted that he feels the lawsuit will be long term and there are different 159
o ptions down the line to get the water level up. He is concerned about politics driving the issue and 160
he would encourage people concerned about water issues to talk to the DNR. 161
162
Council Member Roeser move d that the City not participate in the intervention group. Council 163
Member Kusterman seconded the motion. Motion carried on a unanimous voice vote. 164

City Planner Larsen reviewed the project on an overhead viewer, showing the split of an existing lot 181
to allow for a new platted lot, how the sho reland overlay applies and where a home is planned on the 182
new lot. Staff is requesting approval of a variance that is technically to correct an ov ersight in the 183
shoreland regulations. The development agreement presented is basic without any issues. She noted 184
that the Planning and Zoning Board considered the plat and variance in December and recommends 185
approval (the y do not consider the development agreement). Mayor Reinert explained why the 186
variance is acceptable. 187

City Engineer Wedel reviewed the proposed improvements on an overhead viewer. A property 195
owner adjacent to the roadway is requesting this project. A petition and waiver agreement is in 196
place as well as a joint powers agreement with the city of Centerville since the road splits the two 197
cities. Plans are complete and ready for approval. He reviewed estimated costs and noted that 198
funding will be mostly provided through assessments and the joint powers agreement. The city will 199
have cost participation to oversize sewer pipes for future development. Council Member Stoesz 200
clarified that the correct valves will be utilized in the sewer pipes . Council Member Roeser received 201
an explanation of a change in a driveway for a n adjacent bank facility. 202

AGENDA ITEM 6C
STAFF ORIG INATOR: Katie Larsen, City Planner
MEETING DATE: February 10, 2014
TOPIC: Saddle Club
i. Consider First Reading of Ordinance 01 -14 to Rezone
Property from R, Rural and R -1, Single Family Residential to
PU D -Planned Unit Development
ii. Consider Resolution 14 -15 Approving Development Stage
Plan/Preliminary Plat
VOTE REQUIRED: 4 /5 (Item i) and 3/5 (Item ii)
INTRODUCTION
The applicant has submitted a Land Use Application for a residential subdivisio n located south
of Birch Street off of Old Birch Street. Fifty -five (55) single family lots are proposed on the
39.80 gross acre site. The Land Use Application is for the following:
• Rezone property from R, Rural and R -1, Single Family Residential to PUD -Planned
Unit Development.
• PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat for the Saddle Club.
BACKGROUND
Rezoning
The northern two -thirds of the site is currently zoned R -1, Single Family Residential and the
southern one -third is zoned R, Rural. The pro perty requires rezoning to PUD -Planned Unit
Development to allow for the following flexibilities:
• Minimum lot size (contiguous buildable area) of less than standard 10,800 s.f.
• Reduced front and rear yard setback from 30 feet to 25 feet.
• Reduced road righ t of way from 60 feet to 50 feet.
• Reduced street width from 32 feet to 28 feet.
These PUD flexibilities are provided to establish a future roadway connection to Fox Road,
complete the greenway corridor, reduce t he development footprint in environmentally sensitive
areas and provide c onservation easements to protect natural habitats and wetlands areas.
2
The rezoning is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan . T he purpose
and intent of the PUD is being met by preserving and enhancing the desirable site
characteristics such as existing vegetation, natural topography and geologic features and by
promoting an efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets.
Density Calculations
Gross Area (acres) 39.80
Wetland +
Conservation Easements 19.78
Arterial ROW NA
Park Dedication NA
Net Area (acres) 20.02
# Units 55
Gross Density 1.38 units/acre
Net Density 2.75 units/acre
The Comprehensive Plan guides the site for low density sewered residential development
which allows for 1.6 to 3.9 dwelling units per acre. The proposed development density of 2.75
units/acre is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in terms of residential use and density.
Subdivision Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan
The PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat has been reviewed for compliance with the
comprehensive plan, zoning and subdivision ordinance. The proposed rezoning and PUD
Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat are not considered premature and they meet the
performance sta ndards of the zoning and subdivision ordinance.
The Saddle Club property represents the final link of a multifunctional greenway corridor
stretching from Deer Lane (west of Foxborough) to Birch Park (east of Preserve at Lino Lakes).
The preliminary plat c reates 6 blocks with 55 lots and 4 outlots. Open space, wetlands and
natural resources will be protected with conservation easements. Pheasant Run South will
extend from the east and connect with Old Birch Street as a local road. Fox Road will extend
nor th -south and terminate at the southwest property line to provide future connection to the
existing Fox Road in the Foxborough as was required and designed with that development.
The City will require payment in lieu of land dedication for purposes of publ ic land dedication.
A public park trail will be constructed by the developer along the southern portion of the
development which will connect the existing trail in Foxborough and Preserve. A Tree
Inventory and Tree Removal Plan, Tree Removal Worksheet an d Landscape Plan have been
submitted which identifies existing trees, trees to be removed, new plantings, basic use area,
natural resource conservation area and natural resource protected area. There are 19 delineated
3
wetlands on the site. Wetland fill an d mitigation requirements will be subject to review and
approval of the RCWD. The northeast quadrant of the development falls within a FEMA
Floodplain Zone A. The applicant shall be required to submit the proper Letter of Map
Amendment or Letter of Map R evision to FEMA for review and approval.
Transportation Plan
Items discussed during the public hearing regarding transportation include the future extension
of Fox Road and access at Old Birch Street to Birch Street. Fox Road will extend north -south
an d terminate at the southwest property line to provide future connection to the existing Fox
Road in the Foxborough as was required and designed with that development. Per the
subdivision ordinance, streets shall connect with streets already dedicated in a djoining or
adjacent subdivisions or provide for future connections. The CSAH 34 (Birch Street) Corridor
Study and the City Engineer further support the need to connect Fox Road to the south to
distribute traffic to other primary routes and provide alterna te access points. The future
connection is required on property owned by a separate entity and may not occur with this
development.
Staff met with Anoka County to discuss access concerns at Old Birch Street and Birch Street.
The County agreed that impro vements should be implemented and evaluate d the cost and
design of a by -pass lane vs. turn lane on Birch Street at the west end of Old Birch Street.
Preliminary evaluation determined a by -pass lane to be more cost effective than a turn lane. To
minimize impacts to the existing conditions of the north -south section of Old Birch Street and
eliminate access points onto Birch Street, a cul de sac on the east end of Old Birch Street may
be installed. Cost sharing of improvements will further be discussed betw een the developer
and County.
Final Plat
A land use application for PUD Final Plan/Final Plat for Saddle Club shall be required. At
such time, the developer shall enter into a Development Contract and other docume nts as the
City deems necessary. The fin al plan shall summarize all allowed PUD flexibilities.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning & Zoning Board held a public hearing on November 13, 2013 a nd continued the
hearing to the January 8, 2014 meeting. The Board and s taff recommend approval of the
Rezoning and PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat for Saddle Club subject to the
conditions listed in Resolution 14 -15 .

7. The outlet pipe for Pond 3 needs to be aligned so that it is not discharging into the
realigned ditch at a 90 degree angle.
8. Benchmark or datum should be provided on grading plan.
9. Provide additional detail on grading plan to ensure that drainage patterns for Wetlands F1
and F3 continue to drain to the south and that the wetlands do not drain east for the
modeled design events.
STREET & UTILITY PLAN
1. The watermain extension from the existing 6 -inch stub located at the intersection of Birch
Street and Birch Court needs to be 8 -inch, not 6 -inch as shown.
2. Pipe bedding details will be required as part of the construction plans to confirm that the
PVC watermain will be bedded wi th select granular material.
3. As part of the construction plans, additional detail on how the locate wire is installed with
the watermain will be required.
4. The s anitary sewer extension to serve the north/south portion of Old Birch in the future
needs to extend 10 feet beyond the watermain stub so that future connections will not
undermine the watermain.
5. The east/west portion of Old Birch Street, from Birch Street to Pheasant Run South will
need to be reconstructed as part of this project.
6. The class of t he sanitary sewer and watermain pipe must be included on the plans.
7. Please note that individual house sanitary sewer services cannot connect directly to
manholes. Services must connect to the sanitary sewer pipe with a wye connection. It
appears that Lo t 2 Block 3 may have an issue with this requirement.
8. Lots with sanitary services longer than 100 feet in length will require cleanouts.
9. Lots with water services longer than 100 feet in length should be a minimum of 1 -1/2
inches in diameter.
10. The material s and locations of the house services must be shown on the plans.

11. Sanitary sewer manhole No. 6 includes an interior drop of 6.45 feet. The maximum drop
allowed is 18 -inches. The grade on the sanitary pipe from manhole No. 13 to manhole
No. 6 needs to be adjusted accordingly.
12. The minimum storm sewer pipe size is 15 -inches in diameter.

14. Storm sewer design calculations must be provided for review and approval prior to final
plat approval. Profile drawings of public utilities will also be needed with this submittal.
15. City detail plates must be incorporated into the plan set.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
1. The applicant must present required and proposed pond volumes in the Stormwater
Management narrative. Based on HydroCAD Report, i t appears that all ponds are able to
meet the criteria.
2. Provide calculations for 10 -day snowmelt and demonstrate compliance with rate control
for this design event.
3. Permits for wetland impacts and replacement plan must be approved by RCWD.
4. Note elevatio n of floodplain on plans or in narrative. If the site’s elevations are not
within regulated floodplain elevations, this should be noted in narrative. If fill is
proposed within floodplain areas, provide cut / fill volumes within the floodplain to
demonst rate that no net fill will occur within the floodplain.
5. Note that ATLAS 14 precipitation was used for analysis in Stormwater Management
Report narrative for future reference.
6. Curve Numbers used in the HydroCAD model should match standards outlined in
RCW D Rules.
7. Address how runoff from proposed Old Birch Street (Subcatchment 1) to the intersection
of existing Old Birch Street will be addressed.
8. Address wetland impacts and provide drainage design (e.g. culvert and EOF) for the
proposed trail that crosse s Wetland F -3.
