PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD AUGUST 17, 1988
According to the bond attorney, the question for the P & Z
to examine is whether the Development District Program and
the TIF plan are consistent with general plans for
development of the City, i.e., the comprehensive plan.
The City must have the tax increment financing district in
place before the building permit is issued to Ross or it
will lose the increment between the old and new property
values. The increment from Ross's property is necessary to
fund a good part of the district's improvements.
MOTION: Prokop moved to delete Lees of Lino and the Lyle
Carpenter property and to add the Jack Menkfeld property
(Sunrise Meadows) to John Miller's memo to read as follows:
The properties to be included in the Tax
Increment Financing Plan will be and that are
found to be consistent with the plans for the
development of the City of Lino Lakes as a
whole.
1. Ross's Bottle Shop and the residence
immediately east of Ross's
2. The old VFW building on Lake Drive and
Lois Lane
3. Luther's Marine on Lake Drive and Lois Lane
4. Jack Menkfeld property which include the single -
family homes which were recently sold by the
Ulmer Company.
MOTION: Mr. Prokop moved to approve the Planning and Zoning
resolution as printed below: Nelson seconded the motion and
the motion was carried unanimously.

The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was
duly seconded by member Nelson and upon vote
being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof:
Prokop, Crohn, Averbeck, Irwin, Nelson
and the following voted against same: NONE
Whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and
adopted.
SITE PLAN FOR ROSS' CORNER SHOPPES:
Chris Ross owns and operates Ross' Bottle Shop at the
southeast corner of Lake Drive and Main Street. He also
owns the adjacent frame building currently rented to a hair
stylist. Ross wishes to demolish both of those structures
and replace them with an approximate 8,000 square foot
commercial building that would house his bottle shop, the
hair stylist, a superette, and video and pizza shop. The
new construction would be located on Ross' site which covers
an area of about 9 /10's of an acre. All of this activity
constitutes Phase I of Ross' project and construction would
likely start this fall.
Ross has had good success in leasing his space and Phase I
is totally spoken for. Phase 2 and Phase 3 each would cover
an area of approximately 8,000 sqaure feet giving a total of
24,000 feet at the completion of the project. Phases 2 and
3 would be located on the residential site east of Ross'
land. Ross has asked for tax increment financing to aid in
his purchase of that land. This request will be included in
the TIF plan being prepared by the bond attorney.
construction here could start in 1989.
MOTION: Chairman Cody moved that Chris Ross - Ross's Bottle
Shop 7990 Lake Drive amend his application to include a
variance request:
PAGE 4
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD AUGUST 17, 1988
Section 6 Subdivision 15 (2) (C) of the Zoning
Ordinance.
For the rear setback - The setback that is required
is 30 feet and what is on the plan is 10 feet.
Section 6 Subdivison 15 (2) (C) (VI) setback on the
side from a residential area ahich requires a 35 foot
setback and we have a 20 foot setback on the plan.
Section 8 (1) (C) (i) (b) (a) which requires when you
have 8,000 square feet in an area such as this that
you have 47 parking spaces. On the plan they have 34
parking spaces listed.
Section 8 (2) (D) parking areas the requirement is
they should be 15 feet from the road right of way.
On this plan they are 5 feet from the right of way.
Section 8 (4) (A) driveway maximum width would be
26 feet. On this plan it is 30 feet.
Chairman Cody recommends a variance on all of these issues
based on subdivision 7 of the ordinance if particular sub
paragraphs 1 -6. In this particular case:
1. The property can't be put to a reasonable use
under the conditions allowed by our zoning
ordinances exist.
2. The landowner - due to circumstances unique
to this property and they haven't been created
solely by the land owner.
3. The hardship is not due to economic conditions
alone.
4. The granting of the variance isn't going to confer
this applicant any special privledge - it would
be denied by the ordinance to the lands in the
same zoning district.
5. The actions taken won't diminish the established
property values within the neighborhood.
6. The proposed actions will be in keeping with the
spirit intent of the ordinance.
PAGE 5
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD AUGUST 17, 1988
These are the 6 findings of fact required by law. Averbeck
seconded the motion. Irwin amended the motion: There's
been an additional right -of -way taking. Chris Ross is at
the corner of two major streets. He's adjacent to developed
GB area and the SR area adjacent to him affecting the one
setback is to be considered for rezoning. Because of the
reasons stated above Ross's property is unique and the city
should allow variances. Prokop also added - Ross's Property
is approximately 1.3 acres and because of the taking of land
to facilitate road construction on the west bound and North
bound it is now reduced to slightly over .75 acres - this is
a substantial reduction and is the cause for the hardships.
Ross stated that at the end of phase two - the parking
requirements will be met according to the ordinance. The
motion carried unanimously.
The applicant should apply for a conditional use permit
relative to the gas pumps in a commercial zone in accordance
to Section 6 Subdivision 15 paragraph 7 of the ordinance.
MOTION: Nelson recommended approval of the site plan with
the recommendations of the City Planner. Prokop seconded
the motion and the motion carried unanimously.
1. Building exteriors shown as Rock Face Block will
be changed to brick giving an exterior that will
be entirely brick, metal panel and glass.
2. The four parking spaces east of the septic system
will be eliminated as will the first two spaces on
the east side of the north drive.
3. The handicapped parking space will be moved from
the west side of the building to the east side.
4. The driveways will be widened from 24 to 30 feet.
5. Concrete curb (B-612) will be used to delineate
parking and green areas.
6. Items to be determined in the future include
lighting and landscaping details south of the
building.
7. Excess blacktop should be removed and replaced
with green space 5 feet from the county road.

The Planning and Zoning Board is relying on the City
Engineer Ron Stahlberg for drainage review. It will be
corrected in phase II.
REQUEST FROM GARY UHDE FOR A MINOR SUBDIVISION FOR LAND
LOCATED SOUTH OF BIRCH STREET, APPLICATION 88 -27:
The applicant wishes to purchase a parcel of land from
Leslie McDonald (an absentee property owner) that measures
about 60 X 1000 feet. The land covers an area of
approximately 1.3 acres. In the application the reason for
the request is given as "need the additional 60 feet so the
drainage swale on Reshanau Estates South (phase II east end)
can be moved east to create better drainage and larger lots
and back yards." These changes would be shown in the final
plat for the area. McDonald would retain a parcel measuring
more than 28 acres.
MOTION: Nelson recommended to Council approval of
application 88 -27 for a Minor Subdivision for Gary Uhde
based on the City Planners recommendations. Irwin seconded
the motion.
This motion is contingent upoin this particular land
becomeing a part of Reshanau Estates South plat currently
being developed by Mr. Uhde. The motion was carried
unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF INITIATION OF REZONING OF CHEESEBROUGH
PROPERTY (LILAC AND FOURTH AVENUE) FROM R -1 SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL TO LI - LIGHT INDUSTRIAL:
Attached is a note from Randy Schumacher regarding a
rezoning for Harvey Cheesebrough's property at 7655 4th
Avenue. The note states that Cheesebrough "...has more than
one semi - tractor and trailer on his property. He's a
contract hauler for Molin Concrete." It has been suggested
to rezone the property from S -R Suburban Residential and R -1
Single Family Residential to either light or general
industrial.
The Molin property is adjacent to the Cheesebrough land on
the east and it is zoned General Industrial. Cheesebrough's
land is not included in the Economic Development Committee's
recommendation for expanding commercial and industrial land
areas. In the discussion that this item developed it was
determined that Cheesbrough knowinly purchased residential
land changed its use to that of a truck terminal.

PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD AUGUST 17, 1988
CONSIDERATION OF INITIATION OF ADDITIONAL REZONING TO R--1X
SINGLE FAMILY EXECUTIVE HOUSING OF PROPERTY NEAR SOUTH
RESHANAU LAKES ESTATES:
At the Planning and Zoning Board's July 13 meeting the
members took action to recommend to the City Council the 80
acre Paul Montain property be rezoned to; the R -1X Executive
housing district. This parcel is located immediately west
of the high amenity -- high value South Reshanau Lake Estates
subdivision.
At the July meeting we were asked to review other property
adjacent and near to these parcels for possible R - -1X Single
Family Executive housing zoning. The City Planner
recommended rezoning to the R -1X district.
1. All of the land east of Ware Road and south of
Birch Street to the limit of the MUSA boundary
with the exceptions of Shenandoah, Shenandoah
2nd Addition, and Reshanau Lake Estates South.
This would total approximately 280 acres of land.
2. All of the land west of 7th Avenue south and north
of Birch Street extending 1320 feet (1/4 mile)
north of Birch and 1980 feet (3/8 mile) west of 7th
Avenue. Total area is about 60 acres.
Reasons for including the land in the suggested rezone area
include:
PAGE 11
1 Higher value home development has occurred and is
continuing in the area with Regency Homes on the
east and with concept plan approval of Rick
Carlson's R -1X project on the west. Older projects
such as Rohavic Oaks and Colonial Woods include
higher value homes.
2 High amenity land with wetlands and rolling
topography are found throughout the area. For
example the quarter- quarter section of land
immediately southwest of Montain's property
contains a large wetland covering 15 to 20 acres.
The Soukup property is also rolling.
Before placing this land on the market, the
present owner considered developing it himself
focusing development around ponding areas.
•
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD AUGUST 17, 1988
3. All of this land is in the MUSA boundary. The
City was informed by Paul Montain that development
of his parcel would not start for fifteen years.
That land is presently being sold (or is sold) for
development purposes. It appears that as other
parcels are for sale, development could come
quickly to the area. Zoning now would save
piecemeal actions in the future.
MOTION: Averbeck moved to recommend to Council
consideration of additional R -1X rezonings in the Reshanau
Lake Estates area encompasing all the lands that John
Millers letter refers to - plus #1 and #2 and #3 in the City
Planners memo stated above. Averbeck is basing this motion
on the City Planner's recommendations. Irwin seconded the
motion and the motion was carried unanimously.
HOUSEKEEPING AMENDMENTS TO VARIOUS CITY ORDINANCES:
When the Planning and Zoning Board and the City Council took
action to implement the recommendations of the comprehensive
plan amendment and to create the executive housing district,
some of the old zoning districts disappeared and several new
districts were created.
Unfortunately other city ordinances and other parts of the
zoning ordinances make reference to the old districts and do
not include the new ones.
The City Council has authorized spending money to have all
of city ordinances codified. Among other things this will
be especially helpful to Pete Kluegel, the Building
Inspector as the zoning ordinance will be one document
rather than a book with a bunch of separate ordinance
amendments stuffed into it. Information will be made more
easily available.
In Addition Ron Stahlberg, the City Engineer, has long been
concerned about several requirements in the subdivision
ordinance. The engineer would like amendments that would do
the following:
1. Increase the 500 foot maximum cul -de -sac length.
(Suggest 900 feet)
2. Eliminate the need for side yard drainage
easements.
•
•
•
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD AUGUST 17, 1988
3. Allow resubdivision of the 150 X 300 foot
residential lots into 75 X 150 parcels when
sewer becomes available.
4. Permit resubdivision of the 150 X 300 foot
lots by minor subdivision rather than by
re- platting.
5. Encourage the use of cul -de -sac streets
wherever necessary to protect wetlands and
natural areas.
6. Require landscaping and wildlife management
plans for new water retention ponds.
7. Require city permits for well and septic
tank construction. If city utilities are
available hookup would be mandatory upon
failure of either a well or septic system.
8. Require mandatory utility hook -up within
5 years after availability.
Nelson clarified that the Planning and Zoning Board
eliminate #'s 1, 2, and #4 above and discuss these at a
future meeting.
MOTION: Prokop approved #'s 3, 5, 6, and 7 in the above
housekeeping amendments. Crohn seconded the motion and the
motion was carried unanimously.
OLD BUSINESS:
Prokop addressed the Planning and Zoning Board and the
Council Members that were present regarding the safety
hazard at the Marina on West Oaks dock where the Gazebo will
be constructed. Prokop suggested that someone check out the
traffic flow pattern there. He saw a safety problem.
MOTION: Prokop recommended to council that they require
someone to look at the marina area and to investigate
whether there is a safety hazzard of any kind at West Oaks
dock area on the west side of the lake. Also, they check
out the traffic situation. Nelson seconded the motion and
the motion was carried unanimously.
NEW BUISNESS: NONE
