door to door with a petition of opposition to the project. He distributed a copy of the
petition to staff. He noted no decisions were made at the neighborhood meeting. It was
agreed that the Legion would install a fence. He stated that in his opinion, the Legion in
that location is a waste of prime real estate. He noted that parking is a concern also.
Mr. Smyser read the petition to those present which indicates opposition to any business
that would sell or serve alcohol. The number of signatures obtained was 83.
Mr. Bob Moser, Finance Officer for the Legion, came forward and stated the Legion did
visit with all the residents. A good portion of them were in approval of the project.
There were 8 -9 residents that were present for the neighborhood meeting. He stated the
Legion has spent $8,000 for building plans. The Legion has spent $35,000 trying to
relocate in Lino Lakes for the past 21/2 years. He stated the Legion is not just a bar. The
Legion does a lot of good for the community. He asked that the site plan be approved so
the project can move forward.

Acting Chair Lane asked about the possibility of a berm. Mr. Smyser stated a berm
would not be the best solution. It is possible a fence would help eliminate excessive
noise.
Mr. Powell added that a berm would be difficult to put in. Also, additional trees would
have to be removed.
Mr. Johnson stated he would like to see a landscaping plan that the City Forester has
already approved. Proper screening from the residents is needed. He stated that when the
VFW on Lake Drive requested an addition there were no complaints from residents. This
may suggest that the Legion has a good chance of no disruption. He stated he does want

to see the Legion come into the City. He expressed concern regarding the use of that site.
He added that using a pole barn is not the best situation. He stated he may support the
plan if there was a well laid out landscaping plan and a fence is installed. He asked about
the location of the ditch. Mr. Powell pointed out the location of the ditch stating it is
along the rear of the property. The pond will be maintained by the property owner. The
City will have an easement over it and can step in if it is not properly maintained.
Mr. Corson made a MOTION to close the public hearing at 7:14 p.m., and was supported
by Mr. Dunn. Motion carried 6 -0.
Mr. Dunn stated the City needs to be aware of the Comprehensive Plan. The plan for the
Legion is consistent with the land use indicated in the Comprehensive Plan. He stated he
would prefer to see a living wall of spruce trees. He also stated a stipulation should be
made that a building permit is not granted until all conditions are met. He asked about

Ms. Carlson stated issue is keeping the noise down and not in.
Mr. Dunn stated that if noise is going to be created it is easier to fix at the beginning of a
project. Any applicant must evaluate the cost of doing things now or after the building is
completed.
Mr. Schilling noted there is an acoustical product on the market that the applicant should
consider.
Ms. Carlson stated the area is planned for commercial use and will be zoned general
business. She stated she sees the Legion as more neighborhood friendly than different

Acting Chair Lane stated she agrees the Legion is a good neighbor. She noted that she
lives down the street from the project. The Legion is not a 24 hour a day business. She
would rather see the Legion than a 24 hour a day gas station. She stated it is, however,
important to minimize the neighborhood impact.
Mr. Dunn suggested a condition regarding the tree bank be added. If all the trees cannot
be replaced on site they should be put in the City's tree bank. It has been suggested that
the tree bank become standard practice within the City.

Mr. Lambrecht is requesting a variance to allow the construction of a 10 x 18 porch
addition to his home at 1083 Aspen Lane that will be 20' from the side property line, the
ordinance requires 30'.
Acting Chair Lane asked if the footprint will change by enclosing the deck. Ms. Wyland
indicated the footprint will not change.
Mr. Dunn stated he is very familiar with the intersection. He stated he would be the first
to object if there is site impairment problems. The project will increase the value of the
home in the neighborhood. He stated it is an appropriate time to use a variance and he
supports the project.

July 14, 1999
Page 14
Mr. Johnson stated he does not agree. If the Board grants this variance it will be hard
pressed to deny others like it. There are no unique circumstances or hardship in this case.
He indicated he does not support the project.
Ms. Carlson expressed concern regarding setting a precedence if the variance is granted.
Mr. Dunn stated the Board needs to look at and value the property. He stated this is the
purpose of a variance. There is hardship here and each case should stand on its own
merit.
Ms. Carlson stated her house is similar to the applicant's so she has an understanding.
Variances should be granted on obvious hardship. Granting the variance could present an
opportunity for a legal argument with other variance requests.
