Mr. Stein reported that the Flood Plain Ordinance must be adopted by May 17, 1982. However, the City Council has adopted a Resolution establishing a moratorium effective until August 10, 1982. This will give the City time to finalize the Ordinance and have in place. Mr. Reinert explained that the moratorium was necessary in order for residents to maintain their insurance. There was general discussion on why this Ordinance is necessary. Mr. Stein also explained some of the specifications that must be contained within the Ordinance. He pointed out that the Ordinance must conform to both Federal and State standards. The Ordinance that has been prepared does conform to both Federal and State Regulations. If the City has a more restrictive requirement, then the more restrictive requirement would apply. There was a question as to the relationship of this ordinance to the wet lands ordinance and they were told, that is a separate study and this ordinance does not apply to that study. Planning and Zoning May 12, 1982 Page Two Mr. Prokop asked if it is a standard practive for mortage companies to require Flood Insurance? Mr. Stein said the Flood Insurance is mandatory by Federal Law if the property is Federally Funded, if they are in a flood plain area. Also, if the loan is insured by the Federal Government, it is required. Mr. Stein was asked how this would affect the Zoning Ordinance and he explained this is another District - an overlay that will affect all Districts. Mr. Reinert suggested that a decision on this be delayed. Mr. McLean moved to table this Ordinance to be considered along with the Comprehensive Plana and the Zoning Ordinance by the Task Force.in their study. Seconded by Mr. Goldade.

Mr. Lindgren has purchased a parcel and is- seeking a building permit. He requested a variance to split this parcel and record. Mr. McLean requested a Certificate of Survey. Mr. Henriksen explained this had benn discussed by the Council last year and he had been told that he did not need a Certificate of Survey. There was a question of the easements for drainage purposes and future street needs. Mr. Henriksen said the Deeds had been forwarded to Mr. Schumacher. Mr. McLean referred to the meeting in 1981 which required the deeds for the easements. Mr. McLean said he would not make any decision until the deeds for the easements have been presented to the City. Mr. Lindgren stated that he had talked to the City offices and the Deeds for the easements had been received. There was discussion of the lots that are included in the Deeds (9/10/ 11/12/13/- 4/5/6). Mr. McLean said there is not a copy of these deeds available. Mr. Johnson noted there are two things needed - A certificate of Survey and copy of all easement Deeds. Mr. Prokop suggested that this matter be cleared with Mr. Kiuegel and Mr. Schumacher and apperar at the next meeting and table until then. Mr. McLean suggested that the jog be removed from the North /South portion of the future street. This should be straight. Since the legal description for the easements has not been written, it was requested this be straight. Mr. Prokop moved this request be tabled until the details are worked out to include a Certificate of Survey and Legal descriptions for the ease- ments. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Henriksen pointed out that all monies due to the Park Fund has been paid. Mr. McLean felt this was to have been paid on the lots as they were sold.

PLAN REVIEW - KLOSNER /GOERTZ This is for the construction of a building in the Lino Industrial Park. Mr. Goertz was present.to answer questions. Mr. McLean asked for an elevation which was supplied. Mr. Goertz pointed out this is to be a cement block building with a flat roof. It will be'used for storage of trucks and equipment. This is a masonary contracting business. The site will be fenced with a cyclone fence. The area to be fenced was pointed out)on the plans. There will be storage of materials within this fenced area. A future office is planned in the front - the yard to be seeded - some trees planted. At the present, there are no plans for bathroom facilites but in the future, whenthe office is constructed, he will need to install these facilities. The driveway location was pointed out and it was noted this will be crushed limestone.

Mr. Kluegel preented pictures of the home and the site plan. There were some questions as to the location of this home on the lot with Mr. Kolstad drawing the location of the home on the lot noting that it will be at least 30 feet from the side lot line.and approximatel 138 feet from the street.

Mr. Prokop asked if this is ah allowed usage? Mr. McLean pointed out that the property owners within 300' must be notified. He suggested that this notification could be by- passed if the owner obtained written consent of her neighbors. Mr. Prolop was concerned how this request complies with permitted residential uses - does this not constitute spot zoning? Mr. McLean said, Yes, with the exception that a special use permit may revoked. Also, Special Use Permits should be issued to the person rather than the land therefore, it is non - transferrable. Mr. Short point out the changes in the new Zoning Ordinance that applies to this request. Mr. McLean moved to recommend this application be tabled for notification of property ownres within 300' and present evidence of mailing at the next Planning and Zoning Board meeting. Seconded by Mr. Prokop. Motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Klaus noted that this establishment must be inspected and approved by the State. Mrs. Neimczyk said she aware of this and said she must have permission from the City before she goes to the State. This request is for a variance for a lot located on West Shadow Lake Drive. Mr. Kluegel pointed out this is the highest lot in the area. Mr. Johnson review the history of these lots for the benefit of the newer owners on the Board. These are lots that were platted for sewers and do not con- tain the required square footage under existing Ordinances. However, these lots are grandfathered in and are buildable with certain stipulations. Mr. McLean questioned the distance of the well from the Lake and Mr. Kluegel said it would be approximately 90 from the shoreline. Mr. McLean moved to recommend approval of this variance for a lot-on West Shadow Lake Drive. Seconded by Mr. Juleen. Motion carried unanimously. REZONE - NATHE 0 Mr. Nathe presented the proposed driveway and parking lot, noting the screening along the driveway. Mr. McLean pointed out this cuts the front footage to the lot He felt that none of the recommendations included using a part of this lot for parking for the 49 Club. Planning and Zoning May 12, 1982 Page Five Mr. Kurth, Surveyor, reported that the Police Department had fount this plan acceptable in order to relive the illegal parking at that loaction. Mr. Nathe pointed out that he moved the house to the rear of the lot to provide additional parking for the 49 Club. Mr. McLean pointed out this leaves no fro,Vtage for the residence. There is only the 18' designated as driveway entrance. Mr. McLean asked the length of the driveway and Mr. Kurth said, approximately 150 /200 feet. The major concern of the Planning and Zoning was the use of the front part of the lot for a parking lot thus creating a lot with only 18 feet as frontage. Mr. Prokop pointed out that a recommendation bad been forwarded to the Council and it is a matter of record. Mr. Kurth was advised he could get a copy of the minutes form the office. No action was taken on this matter since the was for discussion only. PLAT- HARDWOOD RIDGE Mr. McLean asked if this is a platting request? (Mr. Short answered but could not be understood) Mr. Johnson asked why this was on the agenda and if Mr. Schrader was aware of the fact that this is not in conformance with the minimum lot requirements of the City Ordinances and was told the developer is aware of this. He is also aware that zoning and other ordinances will be looked at later this year. Mr. Schrader reported that he had met with staff several weeks ago and is aware of the City's requirements. This is a manufactured home to be placed on smaller lots to provide low cost homes. These homes will be palced on a permanent foundation to'be sold in the $41,000/$51,000.00 range. He also pointed out that the State Legislature passed legislation allowing manufactured homes on any residential lot in the City. Mr. Schrader felt that the best way to handle this matter is to creat a zoning district - then create a subdivision for this type of housing. Present Manufactured housing ordinance does not cover the type of housing. Standard platting ordinance creates the need for too many variances to make this type of housing comply. Mr. Schrader pointed out that in order to keep the cost in the $50,000.00 range, the lot must be kept to 75% of the value of the surrounding R1 area. The value of these lots. will all improvements in and paid would be $14,900.00. This determines that a 65'x100' lot would provide ample space if properly planned and constructed. Mr. Schrader asked to work with the City of Lino Lakes to create a manufactured housing district and an ordincance to govern this district. This would control-:the location of manufactured homes rather than having these homes built randomly around the City. Mr. Schrader pointed out that the land he is considering is ideally located - water and sewer is available from two sources - natural gas is also available and there is easy access to the freeways. Mr. McLean asked if Mr. Schrader had paid a 410 fee and Mr. Schrader said he had deposited $550.00 with the City. Mr. McLean suggested that he should ask for a refund since this does not conform to any standards of the City and if this is to be considered as a plat, it would be refused because of the non - conformance. Mr. McLean suggested that the office should not have asked for a fee. (Clerk's note: • r • Planning and Zoning May 12, 1982 Page Six The office staff has been informed by the Planning and Zoning not to put any item on the agenda unless the fees have been paid) ' There was some general discussion on the various aspects of this concept. Mr. Schrader pointed out that the State Law now allows any HUD approved Mobile Home or manufactured home to be put on any R -1 lot in the City. What he is proposing is a zoning district for this type of housing. He also pointed out that all expenses involved in providing the improvements would be paid by the developer. The density was discussed as was the impact on the School District. Mr. Prokop questioned the use of formaldehyde in these homes. Mr. Schrader stated that the manafacturer of these homes more than meets the State regulations. Mr. Prokop asked about the persons buying this type of home - are they young people? old people? Mr. Schrader said there is no longer any specific age group that purchases such a home. At one time it was mostly young people - now it is persons in all age groups basically due-to the affordablity of the homes. Mr. Johnson asked Mr. Schrader if he is asking the Planning and Zoning to consider manufactured, Pre -Fab housing, smaller lot sizes, to be consider- ed for this specific propertyand Mr. Schrader said, Yes. Mr. Prokop read a portion of Mr. Hawkins letter dealing with this subject - Mr. Porkop was concerned with the legal aspects. Mr. Prokop moved to request the Council to authorize legal direction on this matter. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. �ECIAL USE PERMIT 4 MIDWEST ADIO 4 TV - WCCO� This is a request for a Special Use Permit to construct an Earth Station on a five acre parcel of the 158 acres owned by this corporation located in Section 31 and bordering on Holly Drive. A special use permit had been issued about 10 years ago for the moving of the radio tower from Coon Rapids to that location but permission from the FAC could not be gotten due to a conflict with the Anoka County Airport. This Earth Station consists of a one story building to house the equipment and along side a 100 foot tower, there are three round discs to transmit to the station and receive signals from the sattelite. There is such a station in Hugo built by another station just this past year. Mr. McLean questioned the driveway - what surface? Mr. Sheppard said, gravel, will be stablized. How long? approximately 900'. Mr. McLean explained a driveway over the 300' needs a permit. Mr. Sheppard explined the building to be constructed at the present' will be of fiberglass and is a temporary structure. Next year this will be replaced by a block building, 31x50 to house the electronic equipment. The five acre parcel will be fenced with a chain link fence. There will be one gate and all emergency departments will be provided with a key. Mr. Sheppard pointed out that only one disc will be installed this year, in the next year there will be two additional discs. f Planning and Zoning May 12, 1982 Page Seyen There was notification of the, property owners within 300'. There was also discussion on the need for a variance for the long driveway. The stipulations that would be attached to such a variance were noted. Mr. Prokop moved to recommend approval of the Special Use Permit for Mid - West Cable for the construction of an Earth Station per the application dated April 4, 1982 with the following provision: 1© pending payment of fee for variance for 900' driveway, 0 notification of property owners within 300' of property or a.signed petition from such persons. The permit to include permission to construct a singel ten meter antenna - a m00' micro wave tower and a fiber glass equipment shelter to include fencing. Two additional ten meter microwave towers and a permanent cement block building to be added within next year or two. Seconded by Mrs. Klaus. Motion carried with Mr. McLean, as an employee of Westinghouse. abstaining. [KENNEL LICENSE -T P. BARRY Mr. Barry lives on the corner of 7th Avenue and Birch Street and rents the home from Mr. John Tufts, therefore the application is in the name of Mr. Tufts, as land owner, but the Kennel license is in the name of Mr. Barry as the owner of the dogs. Mr. Barry explained that he has three dogs and his father -in -law sometimes brings his two dogs out and leaves them for some time. The dogs are in separate kennels and all have houses. These are hunting dogs. Mr. McLean moved to recommend approval of the Kennel License application for a total of five dogs to be issued to Mr. Patrick Barry. Seconded by Mr. Prokop. Motion carried unanimously. NEW BUSINESS Mr. Prokop pointed out the problem of illegal parking on Bald Eagle Blvd. especially during the Spring and Fall. Near the Silk property, cars are parked on both sides of the street and the people use that part of the lake for fishing. He said there are a lot of pre - school children in the cars and it is really a dangerous situation. Mr. Prokop asked if the Council would consider some kind of liminted parking along that boulevard from the standpoint of safety. Mr. Johnson suggested this be directed to Chief Myhre. Mr. Prolop - just whatever channels are appropriate - just so something is accomplished. Mr. Prokop moved to ask either the City Council or the Police Chief to investigate the feasibility of limited parking on Bald Eagle Boulevard. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. The meeting was adjourned.
