Chair Lindy stated the Council work session is not the forum for a lengthy discussion regarding park needs. A special meeting with the Council should be requested and developers should be present.

He advised discussions will be held in the near future with the City Planner regarding the City's park dedication fee. A recommendation will be made to the Park Board. 5 • City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting February 7, 2000 Paul stated park fees from commercial development could generate dollars to tie development together.

The Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 5, March 2, 2000 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director SUBJECT: Review Revised Bluebill Ponds Preliminary Plat The Park Board discussed the Bluebill Ponds Preliminary Plat at the October 4, 1999 meeting. The 35 -acre development is located on the south side of Main Street, between Wood Duck Trail and Bluebill Lane. The preliminary plat identified 72 single - family lots and a park dedication of 2.26 acres. A few months ago the Planning Department became aware of an existing right -of -way on the north edge of Mardon Acres which abuts the Bluebill Ponds Development. The purpose for the existing right -of -way was to allow public access to the northern side of lots of Mardon Acres so they could subdivided. Neighborhood meetings have confirmed the residents desire to have a street. This requires a 30' right -of -way dedication on the southern edge of Bluebill Ponds (Street E). This street location will eliminate any additional parkland adjacent to the existing Highland Meadows Park. Therefore it appears that the park dedication for the Bluebill Ponds Development will be 100 percent cash. This is estimated to be approximately $95,000. RD:sw sw /Parkbrd/Review Revised Bluebill Ponds Preliminary Plat.doc City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting October 4, 1999 The October 4, 1999 City of Lino Lakes Park Board meeting was called to order at 6:51pm by George Lindy, Chair. Roll call was taken, members present were Pam Taschuk, Chris Welsand, Jeff Reinert, George Lindy, Pat Huelman, Joe Boyle, and Paul Montain. Also present were Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director, Sandie Wood, Office Manager. APPROVAL OF AUGUST 2, 1999 MINUTES: Pat Huelman made a motion, seconded by Pam Taschuk, to approve the August 2, 1999 minutes, as presented. The minutes were approved. SETTING THE AGENDA: Item 6A, Review Potential Park Area in Clearwater Creek Development Center, was added to the agenda. The amended agenda was passed as presented. OPEN MIKE: • No one was present for open mike. • REVIEW BLUEBILL PONDS PRELIMINARY PLAT: Rick advised the 35 acre development is located on the south side of Main Street, between Wood Duck trail and Bluebill Lane. The preliminary plat identifies 72 single family lots and a park dedication of 2.26 acres. Rick referred to Outlot C on the map. The Comprehensive Park Plan and Development Guide recommends a neighborhood park in this area of 10 acres. The identified park area is adjacent to 5.2 acres of park land that was acquired in the Highland Meadows Subdivision. As development occurs directly east of the Bluebill Ponds Development, some additional park land can be acquired to complete this park area. It should be noted that the recommended 2.26 acres of park land is developable. Rick recommended that the Park Board consider requesting a trail connection along the western edge of the proposed park area to provide access to residents in the Bluebill Ponds Development. As with all trail segments, the City recommends acquiring a 15' wide strip of park property and requires the developer to install the sub -base per City specifications. Rick recommended to approve the 2.26 acres of park land with the remaining balance to be paid in cash, per the City's park dedication ordinance, and be designated for future development of this park area. 1 • City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting October 4, 1999 Through much discussion, the Park Board determined that Outlot C should be reconfigured. Paul Montain made a motion, seconded by Pam Taschuk, to reconfigure Outlot C so the northern border terminates between Lots 14 and 15 and the western border terminates between Lots 11 and 12, and also to request a 15' foot wide park property for trail purposes located somewhere between Lots 11 and 14, and the developer will grade and install sub -base per City specifications. The balance of the park dedication will be paid in cash. Motion carried unanimously. REVIEW PROPOSED LAND ACQUISITION FOR ATHLETIC COMPLEX: It was noted for the record that Paul Montain excused himself from the meeting during this discussion. Rick stated that staff has spent the last 8 months attempting to secure land for a future athletic complex. After considerable discussion with Mr. Montain, the City has reached an agreement to acquire 62 acres of land for $850,000. Recently, Mr. Molitor has also agreed to sell 5 acres of land for $75,000, which is adjacent to the Montain property. Both are contingent upon City Council approval. This results in a 67 acre complex. If the City acquires this parcel of land, a referendum would need to be conducted for development of the athletic complex. The internal loan to acquire this property would also be repaid. This scenario carries minimal financial risk to the city. If the referendum is unsuccessful, the City can sell the parcel or retain possession for future use. With Lino Lakes' recent population growth has come an increased need for new and improved recreational facilities. Lino Lakes has been one of the fastest growing communities in the Twin Cities area. The leisure and recreational opportunities along with park development have not been able to keep up with this growth. Acquisition of property for an athletic complex will expand the leisure and recreational opportunities for the children and adults in the community. Rick added that on October 11 and October 19 there will be two public meetings regarding the land acquisition. Development of the athletic complex would probably not begin until 2003 at the earliest. He stated he is asking for comments from each City Board which will be presented to the City Council on October 25, 1999. 2 1 S 00'30'44" W 33.00, 3 BLUEB/LL LANE L CSAtI NO. 14 N 89'28'33" W i al STREET) 811.65 C.S.A.H.

Program Highlights - February Park Board Update YOUTH "Vance: Winter session will be ending March 14. Due to the number of classes in each session, spring session classes will begin March 27. Pre - Kids- Er -Cise: This once a year class, taught and created by Thia Casanova, ended February 18. Due to low registration numbers, the 1 -2 year old class was combined with the 3 -4 year old class. No negative comments were received about this combination. Floor- Hockey Mini Camp: The winter session ended February 15. Spring classes will begin April 4. Toss, Kick, and Catch: The winter session ended February 19. Spring classes will begin April 1. Snack and Skate: These outdoor- lessons are proving to be very popular. The mild weather has helped in the area of not having to cancel any classes. This program will conclude with a skating party for participants and their parents at the Centennial Sports Arena. Hockey Skills Development: Volunteer coaches instruct young children in the hockey skills area. This program is held at Sunrise Park. It is very enjoyable to see five and six year olds skating around and attempting to play hockey. In comparision, this program is not as large as other programs, but the young participants have a positive hockey experience. Baskets "Have a Ball ": We redeveloped this program from last year and what an improvement. It was anticipated that 30 or so children would register for- this program, but we have 30 kids registered in each session. We are using a mix of paid and volunteer coaches and I believe this system is working out well. Softball Pitching Clinics: These classes have proven to be very popular. This winter we had to add an additional session of this program. The instructor is outstanding and the participants are responding to her teaching techniques. The spring classes are already close to full. Family Open Gym: Each week this drop -in program is growing in popularity. For a small fee of $1 per person, participants can enjoy several gym games. At times, the gym has become overcrowded. A larger location will be sought for next year. YOUTH TRIPS AND ACTIVITIES Ski Trips: Our final ski trip of the season took place at Trollhaugen on February 22. 32 youth attended this trip. CLUB: Our cooperative "spring break" trips with the Blaine Parks and Recreation Department and the Centennial Community Services Department went very well. "Rollerskating and Chucky Cheese" (Feb. 21) - 50 participants, "Ice- skating and a Movie" (Feb. 7 ) - 20 participants, "Minnesota Zoo" (Feb. 24) - 13 participants, "Jam the Gym" (Feb. 25) - 20+ participants. Planned March trips, scheduled for March 16 and 17, include Hayride, Lunch and Fantasia 2000" and "Jam the Gym." We have been very pleased by the successes of these trips and our cooperative venture. We are planning to continue this relationship for our summer field trips. Program Highlights Continued • ADULT Fitness (Wellness) Programs: We are trying to be on top of the current fitness trends. The several class offerings have been a staple with this department for a long time. With the addition of a season pass, registration has increased. The pass allows participants to pick and choose the classes they would like to attend. The yoga classes that were newly added this winter have been a big hit with the participants. A new cardio kick boxing class will be added this spring. Team Go -Rec Volleyball: Our volleyball program continues to improve. We have several returning teams from past years. It is our hope to increase participation numbers in the future. Open Volleyball: This program allows persons to participate in a volleyball program that does not demand a steady commitment. This winter we are offering two separate programs: power volleyball for the more skilled players and recreational volleyball for the up and coming volleyball players. Both programs are held on Friday evenings. Attendance has been strong in both programs. Adult Team Basketball: The season is winding down. With only a couple of weeks left in the season, teams will be participating in a playoff. Due to the large number of teams that participate in this program, we are unable to increase participation. At this point, gym space is a premuim and the youth programs also need indoor space. Open Basketball: Attendance in this program is the largest that it has been in some time. The move to •ondaM ys does not interfere with our Wednesday Basketball program. Indoor Soccer: We are currently accepting registrations for this program. Last season, 18 teams registered for- this program. I am optimistic that we can rise above that number this year. The total number of teams that we can accommodate is 20. Adult Softball: The registration period for returning teams is open. It is anticipated that all of our leagues will fill up. We can accommodate 64 teams in five different leagues. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES Warminghouse Shelters: We opened shelters on December 28, 1999 and closed for the season on Monday, February 22. For- the third year in a row, the unusual temperatures played a major factor in the number of days we were open and the attendance at the rinks. A complete annual report will be at a future Park Board meeting. The Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department is currently seeking individuals to fill a variety of summer positions. For- more information about these positions, please call the Parks and Recreation Department at 0051- 982 -2440. The spring activities guide is currently being printed and will be mailed out the last week in February. iruestions??

The boardwalk segment will be 8' in width and approximately 35' in length. Much of this material was removed from the Quail Ridge area last year. Park maintenance staff will closely monitor this segment of boardwalk to ensure it remains safe and stable. Since a majority of the material is on hand, we should have adequate funds to pave the Wenzel Farms trail loop this summer.

Comprehensive Natural Resource Solutions MEMORANDUM To: Mike Quigley -- Gor -EM From: Mark Kjolhaug Date: September. 13, 1999 Re: Open Space Management Plan for Clearwater Creek 3`d Addition I. General Approach and Strategy The following items represent general strategies utilized in developing area specific recommendations for restoration: 1. Reseed all areas disturbed by project grading with native prairie seed. mixtures — wet or me* =- as appropriate. Manage these areas with mowing, chemical, and fire trcatinents Until community is fully established. Long -term management by City could include spot chemical treatments as necessary, burns, or mowing. 2.. Kill existing weedy herbaceous plant communities and replace them with native prairie seed mixtures — wet ormesic — as appropriate. Manage these areas with mowing, chemical. and fire treatments until community is fully established. Long- term management by City could include spot chemical treatments as necessary, burns, or mowing. 3. Protect wooded areas and scattered significant trees. Remove invasive shrubs to allow for recovery of native herbaceous communities. Long -term management by the City would include monitoring and removal of invasive shrubs. 4. Protect quality wetlands with buffers and filter strips. Use signage to minimize dumping and mowing within wetland and buffers. Long -term management by City would include monitoring and enforcement. 5. Restore/supplement wetland hydrology when possible by blocking ditches or outleting storm water ponds. Wetland restorations, which affect wetlands on adjacent properties, are not recommended. 6. Restore herbaceous wetland plant communities when prudent by spraying, scraping, and reseeding. .767 Richmond Road, Mound. Minnesota 55364. • Phone. 6s2- 472`4875 • Fax, 6su- 472 -iO4O • 7. Remove spoil piles when possible without damaging trees or existing natural plant communities. 8. Remove trash when encountered. II. Specific Approach and Strategy Areas proposed for similar treatment are grouped for this discussion. The area numbers refer to those indicated on the attached plan. A. Reve2etate With Wet or Mesic Prairie Seed Mixture. General activities within these areas will include removal (via chemical and mechanical treatment) of existing weedy communities, seeding of appropriate native prairie seed mixture, and short and long -term management. Management activities may include spot chemical treatment, mowing, and burning. Areas between lots and the trail will be seeded with a short - growing native prairie seed mixture to provide a suitable transition. This treatment will be used for areas A2, A3. A4, A5, A7, A8, All, B3, B6_ C2, DI, E6 Acreage proposed for this treatment is 10 acres. Costs are estimated to be $1250. per acre. Total cost for areas receiving this treatment is approximately $12,500. Revegetation activities will begin in April 2000. Seeding will be completed in June 2000. Management activities associated with the establishment of the community will be completed in 2003. The long -term viability of these areas is expected to be good, with low to moderate on- going maintenance requirements. B. Reve etate Storm Water Ponds with Wet or Mesic Prairie Seed Mixture General activities will include preparation of a suitable soil surface, seeding of an appropriate native prairie seed mixture, and short and long -term management. A wet mixture will be seeded near the NWL and a mesic mixture will be seeded throughout the remainder of the graded areas. This treatment is proposed for areas Al, A6, A9, B2, E3, and E5. Acreage proposed for this treatment is 3.5 acres. Costs are estimated to be S1250. per acre. Total cost for areas receiving this treatment is approximately $4500. Revegetation activities will be completed concurrent with project phases. Areas B2, A9, and E3 will be completed with Phase I, Area E5 will be completed with Phase IL and Areas Al and A6 will be completed with Phase M. Management activities associated with the establishment of the communities will be completed within approximately 3 years of the seeding date. The long-term viability of these areas is expected to be good; with low to moderate on- going maintenance requirements. C. Ezistine• Wooded Areas — Invasive Shrub Removal and Management. Wooded areas throughout the property have been subject to historic disturbance by livestock. As a result, invasive shrubs have become a dominant component of the understory, competing with more desirable native species and shading herbaceous ground cover. Management of these shrubs generally involves shrub removal and direct herbicide application to prevent regrowth. A second treatment may be required after 1 -2 years, with a light burn, as feasible. • This treatment is appropriate for areas A10, B 1, B4, C1, C3, C4, and El. Approximately 7.5 acres are proposed for this treatment. Costs for this treatment are expected to range from $2,500. - $5,000 per acre. Total cost for areas receiving this treatment is $19,000 — $37,500. Shrub removal will begin during April and May, 2000, and be completed by October. 2001. The long -term viability of this approach is uncertain. Without ongoing control activities, these areas are likely to be re- invaded due to the abundance in seed sources on adjacent properties. D. Wetland Vegetation Restoration Wetland E3 (Wetland E) currently is dominated by a reed canary grass monoculture, which has low aesthetic and wildlife habitat values. Proposed activities would include removal of the existing plant community by chemical treatment and scraping, if appropriate, the upper 12 inches of soil. The area would then be reseeded with a suitable wet meadow mixture. Estimated cost to complete the restoration of this 0.5 -acre wetland is $3000. Scraping and vegetation removal will be completed in spring, 2000. Revegetation will be completed in June, 2000. Management activities associated with the plant community establishment will be completed by October, 2003. Long -term viability of this restoration is good with low maintenance requirements. E. Wetland Reconstruction/Restoration Wetlands C, D, and F have been extensively disturbed by past excavation activities. Current conditions include marginal wetland hydrology and low diversity wetland plant • communities. Proposed activities would attempt to restore and supplement wetland hydrology, remove reed canary grass, consolidate wetlands, and remove trash, to provide functionally superior„ aesthetically attractive wetland areas. These activities would include excavation, spoil removal, grading, and reseeding with a wet meadow mixture. The estimated cost to complete the reconstruction and restoration of this 1.5 -acre area would be. approximately $20,000. Grading is proposed to occur in April, 2000. Revegetation will be completed in June 2000. Management activities associated with the plant community establishment will be completed by October, 2003. The long -term viability of this restoration is good, with low maintenance requirements. Total cost of all proposed activities in items A through E would be expected to range from $59,000 to $77,500. F. Other Items I : The feasibility of providing a buffer and filter strip to protect wetland area B5 should be examined. The wetland is outside of the green way areas. 2. An evaluation of hydrological restoration opportunities of wetlands partially within property boundaries should be completed. As adjacent parcels develop in the future. potential may exist for larger wetlands along the property boundaries to be restored. This applies to larger wetlands along the western and southern property boundaries. 3. An informational/educational pamphlet should be prepared to distribute to landowners adjacent to the green way areas. The pamphlet should include information on the ecological values of the area, management efforts, and rules regarding mowing, dumping, planting, etc. within the. area. • 4. W enk feasible without damaging trees and quality wetland plant communities, spoil piles.firom previous excavations on the property should be removed and spread on upland areas. 5. Detailed grading and seeding plans will be prepared prior to project implementation. 6. Appropriate-infiltration methods will be utilized, where feasible, in the placement, design, and construction of the trail to minimize backyard runoff from directly entering adjacent wetlands. 7. In year 2003, trees that have been killed or are determined to be dying due to increased water levels within Wetland Q. will be removed. 8. "Hazard. Trees" adjacent to the trail will be removed at the time the trail is constructed.

Vendors were given a maximum dollar amount of $27,000. They are expected to design separate play equipment structures that will service pre - schoolers and elementary school age children. All proposals are expected to meet requirements set forth in the Americans with Disabilities Act. All equipment in these bids must meet guidelines as published by the United States Products Safety Commission. Playground equipment proposals will be on display at City Hall on the following dates and times: Monday, March 6 Tuesday, March 7 Wednesday, March 8 Thursday, March 9 8am to 8pm 8am to 4:30pm 8am to 8pm 8am to 4:30pm All proposals will be evaluated by city staff with input from the Park Board and area residents. The project will be awarded to the vendor that provides the city with the best value for the funds available. The best value analysis will include an evaluation of quality, durability, safety, equipment longevity, aesthetic appeal, and the play experience provided. After review a recommendation will then be made to the City Council for the purchase of playground equipment (March 13 Council Meeting). The playground equipment will be installed using a certified playground installer (provided by vendor), city staff, and neighborhood volunteers. This will be done on a Saturday in May — July. Once the playground equipment is installed, city staff will install the safety surface and borders to meet ADA Specifications. Attached is a letter that was sent to area residents of Brandywood Park.

Staff advised the plan originally involved moving an existing home onto the property. The assessment policy has been revised to enable utilization of City utilities. This condition was part of the previous approval that has never been satisfied. Staff noted the assessment is reasonable. Mr. Corson asked about the future land use plan for the area. Staff referred to a map indicated the area is in the second growth plan of the draft Comprehensive Plan. The north/east corner is shown as commercial. The balance of the area is low to medium residential. Mr. Rafferty asked if both land users understand the land plan is for after the year 2010. He also asked if there is a completion plan for the house that is under construction. Staff • • • • • • Planning & Zoning Board January 12, 2000 Page 3 advised the land users are aware the land use plan is for after 2010. Staff also advised there is a plan for the home being built. The hold up on the home being built is the fact there is not clear title to the property. At this time the property is in joint ownership. The subdivision should correct that and the applicant will be able to obtain a mortgage. Chair Schaps asked if the City has a time limit regarding the completion of homes. Staff advised there is a long period of time for completion that is part of the building code. Builders need to show continuous progress. Ms. Lane made a MOTION to approve minor subdivision based on the following conditions: 1. An additional 27' of right -of -way for Centerville Road shall be dedication to Anoka County along the easterly border of the parcel. 2.

This item will go before t - ouncil Monday, January 24, 2000, 6:30 p.m. A. Thoma t onough, 25 Ash Street, Subdivision Staff advised Mr . onough is the owner of two parcels of property in the south/west corner o ±e City. Parcel 1A contains 2.47 acres and a single family home, Parcel 2A contains 2. 2 acres, and the total site is 5.29 acres. The City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum of 10 acres as the property is Zoned Rural, guided rural in the existing land use plan and is located outside the MUSA boundary. However, both parcels are considered pre- existing non - conforming lots of record. The vacant parcel is buildable as it exists. The draft comprehensive plan guides the area for residential and the specific parcels for medium density residential. Mr. McDonough is asking for a minor subdivision that would allow the sale of the existing home on a one acre lot with the combination of the balance of the site and potential sale of that parcel as a 4.24 +/- acre parcel. There is a large wetland on the north/west corner of the property, which would not preclude any future construction on that parcel. Staff reviewed the description of the surrounding property and the Findings of Fact. Planning & Zoning Board January 12, 2000 Page 4 Staff recommended approval of minor subdivision and variance based on conditions. Staff noted Mr. McDonough does have a buyer for both parcels. Chair Schaps clarified the variance is needed for a subdivision less than 10 acres that is not served by City sewer. He asked how long the applicant has owned the property. Staff advised Mr. McDonough has owned the property since 1982. He was advised in the mid 80's that City sewer was coming soon. Staff noted that it is unlikely utilities will be available in this area unless a development goes in enabling the City to assess the costs. Mr. Zych asked about the large wetland in the area. Staff referred to a map pointing out the wetlands noting that the property is developable. Chair Schaps asked if the applicant will be building on the 4± the applicant has a buyer for the larger parcel. The buyer property. arcel.

Staff advised they did not look at making the home site larger than one acre. Different configurations for the one acre parcel were looked at. Mr. McDonough stated he has someone interested in the larger parcel to build a home on the site. The builder may eventually want to split the lot for his children. Mr. Rafferty asked how the subdivision fits into the draft Comprehensive Plan. Staff advised Mr. McDonough has no intentions of pursuing multi- family zoning. Staff will recommend keeping the area residential. • • • Planning & Zoning Board January 12, 2000 Page 5 Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to approve minor subdivision and variance based on the following conditions: 1.

This work is scheduled to take place between April and June /July of 2000. The project area is from Sunset Road north easterly to the 35W/35E junction. Shafer Contracting would like to set up their batch plant on the Tagg property (Artic Sandblasting) at 7504 Lake Drive. Temporary, portable concrete batch plants are needed to conform to MnDOT's specifications/limits for concrete placement within 30 minutes of production. This location will provide quick access, reduce traffic conflicts with hauling trucks, eliminate the need for Shafer to dismantle and relocate their plant during resurfacing, and provide timely completion of the project. They have signed a lease agreement with the property owner. Planning & Zoning Board January 12, 2000 Page 6 In review of this item, City staff has concluded that an interim use permit may be the appropriate vehicle to facilitate this proposal. The property is Zoned LB, Limited Business and is the only LB District within the City. Staff proposed an Ordinance Text Amendment that would add "Temporary Concrete Batch Plant" as an Interim Use within the Limited Business Zoning District. It is also anticipated that in the near future this entire site (Town Center) will be rezoned to a more appropriate category to facilitate the future plans for the Town Center. This interim use permit would not affect the ultimate development of the area. The LB Zoning District in this location is a very temporary condition. The City Engineer and the Environmental Board have reviewed this request. Staff reviewed to a copy of their comments and the conditions of approval incorporate their suggestions.

The south bound ramp will be closed during construction and vise versa when there is construction on the north bound lane. There will be no traffic contribution from the freeway ramp. Chair Schaps asked if regular sweeping will occur. He also asked if the speed limit in the area will be reduced. Mr. Palke indicated regular sweepings will occur. He stated a reduced speed limit would be beneficial. Staff advised it is possible to get the speed limit reduced. The road is a County road and a request has to be made to the County. Staff advised they will speak to the County about a reduced speed limit. • • • • • Planning & Zoning Board January 12, 2000 Page 7 Mr. Schilling commented on 3,500 yards being a typical pour.

Mr. Rafferty state e and special provisions are an outline for residents. He expressed concern r:= ding the language "appropriate manner" used in the provisions. He clarified that each case will be reviewed by staff, Planning and Zoning, and the City Council. Chair Schaps suggested the language be changed to read "in a manner approved by the City ". Mr. Johnson asked if there is a limit to screening height. He also suggested the language in the provisions be cleaned up. He stated he would prefer that a storage area not abut a paved street. Staff advised if a variance must be granted for a fence higher than 10 feet. A provision regarding storage areas not abutting a paved street would restrict H. & L. Mesabi Inc. and other sites along 74th Street. • • • • • Planning & Zoning Board January 12, 2000 Page 9 Mr. Schilling asked if the City has control over the type of material that can be stored. Staff advised that legally the City couldn't distinguish between types of materials. It was noted that at times storage material can stick up over a fence. Therefore, storage will be limited to internal light industrial properties. Mr. Zych suggested this item be deferred in order to clean up the provision language. He asked why staff is requesting a change in the ordinance that was adopted two years ago. Staff clarified the difference between accessory use and principal use. The 1997 ordinance allowed a conditional use permit for exterior storage as an accessory use meaning the business had to have another principal use. Exterior storage as a principle use is allowed as interim use only that will be terminated at some future date or event. Mr. Corson asked if the 4:1 ratio has been thought over carefully. Staff advised the ratio should be changed to 3:1. Staff also advised that changing the original ordinance by deleting exterior storage as an accessory use was an error. Chair Schaps clarified the amendment will allow for from the freeway, prohibits abutting a neighborhood screening and an impervious surface, and cannot b rights regarding the storage of hazardous mater Mr. Johnson referred to the Lakes Industr discretion regarding the types of busi the amendment. This particular si that cannot be seen require fencing, noted the city does have oting the developer does have There are a number of safeguards in quite rare.

Mr. Biernberg stated the first draft of the amendment showed a 4:1 ratio. It has been suggested to change it to 3:1. He indicated their storage area is a little over 3:1 and they abut the prison. Staff suggested the ratio be changed to 3.5:1. Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to close the public hearing at 7:55 p.m., and was supported by Mr. Corson. Motion carried 7 -0. Ms. Lane made a MOTION to adopt Ordinance No. xx — 2000, as presented, including the following provisions: Planning & Zoning Board January 12, 2000 Page 10 a.

He noted the area of grading needed for the site and construction of parking which is planned in Phase 1, with Phase 2 requiring an amendment to the Phase 1 CUP, if granted, and an additional site plan approval. He explained the applicant desires to grade the entire site at this time to avoid a second disturbance. Since this is a CUP, the standard list of conditions as identified in the ordinance are considered as well as the church use. He noted these conditions are identified in the staff report. Mr. Smyser advised that if the findings are met, the Council could consider approval. No utilities are available so two mound septic systems are being proposed. He noted there is adequate area as indicated by a certified septic designer plus the State and County standards must be met.

Mr. Smyser noted the area of chain link fence, which will be erected to address the trespass concerns of the abutting property owner to the east. He noted the alignment of a pathway that will be dedicated and covered with wood chips, and advised of the goal for a greenway around Lake Amelia. Mr. Smyser noted the response from the Vadnais Lakes Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO) granting approval with conditions. He summarized that staff recommends approval of the CUP and site plan with conditions listed in the staff report. He revised condition 13 to indicate: "A trail easement shall be dedicated to the City and the final trail location shall be determined in consultation with VLAWMO." Mr. Smyser stated the Environmental Board recommendations were of the plan but the site plan has been revised significantly with the the ordinary high water level. e first rendering ved back from Gary Nordness, representing the applicant, extended th cia to staff, the Council, and members of the audience.

Steve Valentine, Seni ,' sto Majestic Pines Community Church, provided a background history of this fast -gro ? u , which needs a church home. He stated they have selected this area because of its " nd that they recognized community trends that support their mission to serve the spin tl+ al needs of the area. He reviewed the population of this area and number of churches available. He stated they want to be good neighbors of the community and servants of Lino Lakes. Pastor Valentine stated they have taken a lot of time in selecting a site and believe this would be a great place for them to call "home" and serve people. He reviewed programs they would like to provide including a voting precinct for the City, childcare (if the community believes that is a need). Also, Toys for Tots drop off point, a food shelf, and activities /ministries for the youth and teens of the community, divorce care support group, and family counseling support services. Pastor Valentine assured the Council that they plan to bring more to the community than they would take. He restated that approximately 20% of the church membership are Lino Lakes residents. In short, the church is willing to assist the City and community in any way possible. Pastor Valentine stated they are part of a denomination founded by a Presbyterian minister, and have hospitals, colleges, graduate schools, and there are 23 churches of the same caliber in the 6 • COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 Twin City area. He stated that they are accountable and orthodox, holding traditional values packaged in a fresh contemporary way. He stated they would find it a privilege to locate in Lino Lakes and serve the community. Mark Finneman, architect representing the applicant, stated the building would be universal in its usage with sensitivity about how much statement a building should make. He stated the questions of colors and material can be addressed, noting the adaptability being proposed in the structure and wide range of materials. He noted the proposed architecture presents a clean, friendly, adaptable building. Mayor Sullivan opened the floor for discussion. Dennis Moravek, 1635 Holly Drive NE, stated his concerns with the project starting with the size of the structure, which he believed, would dwarf the surrounding buildings. He noted the standards identified by the City in the use not being detrimental. Mr. Moravek stated he believes the number of vehicles will be a large impact and asked if the use will include offices in the future. He noted the standard that the use must be harmonious and staff , e does not believe it would be harmonious. He stated the area homes also do not sho as n s to the proposed structure. Mr. Moravek noted the requirement for adequate ser . ilities including street and police. He also noted that Anoka County indicate e a problem due to only being Sunday traffic, however, Anoka County note ements to this section are currently planned or funded and recommended th �ti ty�ider the traffic movements. He stated that he believes the City will have to cover at co Mr. Moravek noted the applicant's intention to combine the parcels, which to 1 come off the tax rolls and residents will be expected to pay for those impr• e Mr. Moravek asked if this ap ,� �� met e Environmental Board concerns since the watershed mark is different mark. He noted the requirement that vehicular approaches not cause • est and stated his opinion that this project will cause congestion due to the dangerous c e south. He stated this roadway is dangerous already and adding 400 cars per da a major impact. Mr. Moravek noted the requirement that the project not impact nature ' ses and stated his belief that the project will impact Lake Amelia. He noted that at neighborhood meeting, the church said they would erect a stop sign but he believed that would only make it worse. Mr. Moravek pointed out that this proposed project is not harmonious with the community and as a concerned resident he speaks for quite a few. He asked that the request be denied so Lino Lakes residents don't have to live with it and pay for it. Mayor Sullivan noted that in the future, it is anticipated there will be an athletic complex north of this site. She stated that she is trying to relate the impact of the church and the athletic complex as far as traffic is concerned. COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 Mr. Moravek stated that adding the additional parking in upcoming phases will increase traffic and demands on public services including police and roads, including turning lanes. He stated that it is obvious to him that this use will greatly impact traffic. Mayor Sullivan inquired regarding assessments for sewer and water services and whether services related to the road would be charged to the church regardless of their non -tax status. Mr. Smyser stated that is correct, the church would be assessed just like any other landowner. Art Hawkins, 6112 Centerville Road, stated that in order to approve the CUP, the site plan must meet requirements of City ordinances and the project must be appropriate for the site on which it is placed. He stated that several neighbors would testify that the site plan does not meet either of those two requirements. He stated that Northwest Consultant, in their report to the Council, state that the site meets all requirements of the ordinance and shoreland area. Mr. Hawkins stated that he would argue that the consultant is incorrect in that judgment. He asserted there is a failure in meeting ordinance requirements, such as Paragraph 7 which lists nine (9) standards all of which must be met. He noted that in the consultant's judgment all nine (9) conditions are met but in the resident's opinion all nine (9) fail. Mr. Hawkins stated that he wants t evidence of what he sees as a violation of the shoreland management ordinance. Mr. Hawkins presented a listing of requirements of the shore •v • m, e and stated his interpretation that the City has an obligation to enforce anagement ordinance. He noted that the State has established minimum stan ity can set more restrictive rules and if the two rules differ, the more restrictive •r.. �`} this case, the City's rules prevail but the developer has used the State standards g dinary high water level. Mr. Hawkins asserted that using the State's ordin • " ; * ar is a violation of the City's ordinance regarding setbacks. He asked if t • i >s c•nsidered the issue of "land suitability" and quoted that requirement from •ry ce r. Hawkins reviewed information from the Anoka County Soils Report addres s•Y >types and indicating the hazard of wetlands limit this soil for both urban an and is "poorly suited for urban uses." He maintained this indication should have < fix` d flag" at the beginning of the site plan process. Mr. Hawkins asked if the•roject is right for the site. He stated that he believes the ordinance clearly addresses this issue since the ordinance says the use must conform to the land use plan of the City and be compatible with the existing neighborhood. He stated the draft land use plan says, in looking to the future, that only land uses, which protect the rural character, will be permitted in rural areas of the City. He asked if the Council believes a massive concrete structure placed on the shores of a pristine lake in a rural area and neighborhood is appropriate. Mr. Smyser stated the ordinary high water mark is determined by the DNR and is an established level above sea level. He clarified that the City has no separate ordinary high water mark from what the DNR has established. Mr. Hawkins quoted from the shoreland management ordinance pertaining to this question. He read the area identifying "class" indicating it must be in full compliance with the terms of the 8 COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 • ordinance and held to the minimum requirements liberally construed by the governing body and that more restrictive or higher standards shall prevail. Mr. Hawkins read the ordinance definition of the ordinary high water level. He stated the DNR has recently corrected their ordinary high water level and he believes the SEH study shows a wetland delineation line, which is ordinarily, the line defined under this definition. He stated that he knows of no requirement to use the ordinary high water mark as set by the State which is for the lake itself, not necessarily including the wetlands that impact the lake. • • Amy Donlin, 6100 Centerville Road, stated she lives next to Mr. Hawkins. She read a prepared statement advising of her impression of past Lino Lakes planning and resident's demands to change the way of doing business and to pay more attention to what residents desired rather than what developers demanded. She commented on the vision statement, which was created to assure excellent architectural design, keeping in mind environmental protection and rural "flavor." She stated it would be a tragedy to ignore those goals in the wake of this project. She asserted that approving this project would "stomp" on that vision and would be wrong. Ms. Donlin noted this is the first view seen when entering Lino Lakes fro _• F: ction. She stated this is a breathtaking vista of Lake Amelia, noting that it is protect • h shore by the Minnesota Land Trust and worthy of protection. Ms. Donlin st d that the project was incompatible with this natural environmental lake, woul e�n:: -: akeshore, and leaves the lake open to more of the same. Ms. Donlin noted the church would add a lot of t ic, e . cia y along Centerville Road. She commented on the impact to residents why �� e to safely leave their property and access Centerville Road. She stated s • G vor paying for the infrastructure or considering a tax - exempt status fo t ike the church. She commented on the impact the septic system could have due ize s. Donlin stated the reason to not approve is that the project does not meet th y zoning ordinance standards as identified. Donna Carlson, 6808 five churches in Lino L 2,000 families and aske Lake Drive, corrected a statement made indicating there are s ving 1,300 people. She advised that St. Joseph's parish have over at this be noted in the record. Council Member Dahl requested clarification on the height of the fence being proposed. Mr. Nordness advised that a six -foot chain link fence is being proposed. Council Member Bergeson asked if the septic system would be constructed to serve the initial phase or the first and second phases. Mr. Nordness explained that would be determined at the time of the building permit application. He stated they have sized the area for the total development to assure there is adequate area. Mayor Sullivan asked if there is enough location on the site for septic replacement. She noted other locations where development was allowed that did not have a replacement site so the City had to run utility lines. Mr. Nordness stated that area was identified because it was the farthest COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 away from Lake Amelia and the highest point on the site. If a failure were to occur, they would replace the system. Mr. Smyser explained that as part of the review of the septic system and permit, an area for a replacement system would be required as part of the County and City requirements. He noted this application is for Phase 1 and if that were to fail, there is enough additional space to locate a replacement system. If there were not adequate space for a Phase 2 replacement system, then Phase 2 would not be approved. Mr. Nordness explained that while the septic system has not been designed, it has been sized. Council Member Neal stated he had twenty -five (25) telephone calls from Lino Lakes residents opposed to the project but he did not receive one (1) call in support. He asked how many Lino Lakes residents belong to the church. Mike Wagner noted the information delivered to the City Clerk which lists ten (10) families from Lino Lakes, which are associated with the church, as well as four (4) letters from church members recommending passage of the request. Council Member Neal stated that he finds it strange that none of t e come to talk about the project. Mr. Wagner noted there is a resident present � • is ort. Council Member Neal noted the proposed child care fa that he believed this was the wrong area for this ty, he would vote against. ease traffic. He stated f it were to be voted on tonight, John Carpenter stated that he is a me . - rci and is speaking on his behalf as well as his wife, daughter, and baby-to-be at ey are very excited about this church and believe it is ultimately in God' a the ouncil's hands if it is to happen. Mr. Carpenter stated that he believes it wi t to the community and provide a place for teens to go, especially after the re ion ea is developed. He noted that something would be built on this site if this use is ni�, ±v so traffic will get worse anyway. He urged the Council to consider approval of the : u-' t. Council Member Bergeson stated that a church is a conditional use in any zone of the City so that means there is no preferred zone for churches; they can go in any zone but require a CUP. Council Member Bergeson stated that since there is not a preferred location, if the church selects a location, the burden of proof that it is not an appropriate location rests with the City and not with the applicant church. Council Member Bergeson stated that it is his view that if it were not approved, the City would have to present a case for it being inappropriate in that location or zoning. He stated that he does not know if the City has that information to build such a case. Council Member Bergeson stated one thing that does not fit well is the design of the building. However, the City does not have a building standard related to design that could be applied and the proposal meets all of the general criteria and setback standards. He stated his disappointment that its general appearance does not fit the surrounding area but indicated that he does not believe that could be cited as the basis for denial since the City does not have design criteria or standards. 10 • • • COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 Mayor Sullivan noted that the preservation development requires each new plat to do an environmental survey, which she had not yet seen with this application. Mr. Smyser stated staff got existing conditions and tree coverage information very early in the review process which was looked at by the Environmental Board as well as the drainage issues and environmental preservation. Mayor Sullivan addressed the concerns raised about traffic, noting Centerville Road is not anticipated to be upgraded through the Comprehensive Plan. She asked if the church or the athletic complex would create the traffic impacts. She stated her impression that the athletic complex would be a greater impact. Mayor Sullivan inquired regarding the Anoka County requirement for turn lanes. Mr. Smyser corrected that there will be turn lanes and a by -pass lane. Mayor Sullivan stated that it appears that there is a request for almost 100 extra parking stalls than required for this building. She stated that this is a higher quality lake than most in Lino Lakes and she believed the City had a responsibility to assure it is preserved. Mayor Sullivan stated her concern about parking to the south of the site along the lake d why 100 additional spaces are being proposed. Mr. Smyser explained that while the church services do not • r m ers arrive before the �a. current service has adjourned or participants left the sit Mayor Sullivan inquired regarding green parking. show that green parking is functional. He green parking cannot be used during t that while other projects have ask Mr. Finneman stated the C stated there is a great resolved. He stated th ser stated he has seen nothing to earch on this issue and problem that conditions due to plowing issues. He noted o viable method has been identified. ence could be incorporated into the final design. He tability and he believed that issue can be worked out and Pied, at this stage in the design, engineering issues. Council Member Berges stated he knows of some older buildings with gravel/crushed rock parking areas and it has been the City's position to get them paved. He asked if this would be an alternative for overflow parking areas where runoff is a concern. Mr. Smyser stated that gravel and rock parking lots have been studied and it was found they are essentially impervious surfaces due to compaction. It has also been found to be more detrimental to water quality than paved surfaces since silt and dirt are pulled into the water runoff and deposited into the lake. Mr. Nordness stated the Phase I pond can contain two (2) back -to -back 100 -year events and the parking lot drainage goes to the pond. Mr. Don Shafer, engineer representing the applicant, stated this is correct and two (2) back -to- back 100 -year storm events will not exceed the capacity of the pond. COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 Mayor Sullivan stated that hydric soils and the ordinary high water mark are still a contention. She stated that she agreed with Mr. Hawkins that the City has a stricter ordinary high water mark by definition than the State due to the shoreland management ordinance. She stated that in the city's interest, it should be interpreted more tightly. Mayor Sullivan stated this appears to be an over -use of the site since all of the septic is being planned for Phase II as well and the ponding indicates their plan for additional growth. She stated this is a beautiful site but her question is whether this is the best site for the church considering the hydric soils. Mr. Nordness stated the growth projected is to be able to handle at least 600 parishioners under the proposed structure. He stated that he does not know if Phase 2 will ever happen but they have tried to address all the potential issues. Council Member Bergeson asked when this item could return for consideration if it is denied at this time. Mr. Smyser stated that the deadline is tonight so it needs to be acted on or an extension granted by the applicant. If denied, there would be a waiting period before rea.� . He stated that if the applicant was asked whether they wanted it voted down or t o e an tension to resolve concerns, he believes they would request the extension. Council Member Bergeson stated that under the circum appropriate to poll the Council to determine how t indicated it would not pass, then the Council coul concern so they could decide whether the an extension to modify the plan. Council Member Neal asked location of the NURP pond explained there is eno can be controlled and t ers if it would be , as presented.

He n the pond basin to filter out the sand and salt so the discharge ing into the lake is at least at that standard. Mr. Moravek noted that e zoning standards indicate that if the item is not approved within the deadline time period, then it results in an approval. He urged the Council to take a vote tonight. Attorney Hawkins stated that if the applicant agrees to an extension beyond sixty (60) days then that provision does not become applicable. Council Member Lyden stated that he does not favor a straw poll since it may not be in the best interest of the City. Council Member Bergeson suggested two motions, one to determine whether a straw poll is desired and, based on that, it can be conducted or the item moved on. Mayor Sullivan asked if the applicant could ask for additional time if the Council denies the application. Mr. Hawkins explained the ordinance prevents applicants from surreptitiously 12 • COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 making reapplication so it would be a substantial period of time before application can again be made. Council Member Bergeson moved to poll the Council. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried with Council Members Dahl and Lyden voting against. Mayor Sullivan conducted a poll with the following results: Neal: No Dahl: Undecided Lyden: Undecided Bergeson: Yes Sullivan: Opposed and supports a withdrawal to make additional amendments Council Member Dahl asked Council Member Bergeson what he mea lan being amended. Council Member Bergeson stated the poll was to indicate to how the vote would end up. He noted that having this information would al app a t the opportunity to withdraw the application and present it in the futu �� u ime prohibition. He stated an IIIadditional point is that they would have to re.ues ithd al of the item and extension of the deadline for some period of time. • Council Member Dahl asked wha or pleasing. Council Member Ber t coy Id do to make the proposal more acceptable that he is not sure but some issues of concern raised are the building design, storm ff, and traffic impacts. Council Member Lyden . ted that giving the advantage to the applicant may not be in the best interest of the City. He stated that he does not question the applicant's motives or intentions and believes they are good people but philosophically he is against placing a church in this zoning. He noted an exception with the structure, which appears to be a church in work only. He stated this church has none of the cathedral aesthetics one associates with a church and it looks more like a CUB Foods store than a church. Council Member Lyden stated that it is a light industrial type of building and this type of structure, regardless of its use, is not permitted in this zoning. Council Member Lyden stated that he echoes all concerns expressed by residents. He stated he wants to be honest and not misleading to the applicant since he does not believe it is possible to put a church building of this scope in this area and have it meet the criteria in spirit or in letter. He noted the nine -(9) criteria cited in the zoning ordinance and commented that sometimes the right answer is not to ask them to come back but to indicate "no." Council Member Lyden stated if there are other sites that may be more appropriate, he wants to be "square" with the applicant. COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 Mayor Sullivan asked Mr. Nordness if they wish to withdraw the application and request additional time. Mr. Nordness stated that he would withdraw the application and postpone consideration for a period of ninety (90) days to see if the concerns can be addressed. Mr. Smyser asked if this indication should be in writing. Mr. Nordness stated that is not an issue. Consider Highland Meadows East Final Plat (3/5 Vote Required) - Jeff Smyser - Staff advised the application is for a final plat approval of Highland Meadows East consisting of six (6) residential lots and two (2) outlots. It was noted the final plat conforms with the approved preliminary plat but the plat actually creates only four (4) new house sites, as two (2) lots already have houses. The City Attorney has approved the title work and the City En:ineer has reviewed the grading and drainage plan and recommended approval. Council Member Lyden moved to approve Highland Meadows Council Member Neal seconded the motion.

The Council needs to taff recommended approval of the drafted Upon inquiry by Coin e r Bergeson, Mr. Smyser reviewed percentages of homes within Lino Lakes that are co rdable, qualify as life cycle, and densities per acre as contained in the propos es" ution. Mayor Sullivan noted the Springsted report was based on the incorrect timeframe and when compared with the goals to what the City actually has for housing stock, it was found the City needs to add 200 life cycle homes to the current housing stock prior to 2010 which is what is expected in the Town Center area. She stated that it was found these goals actually fit with the City's Comprehensive Plan and the Springsted report was in error. Mr. Smyser stated he conducted an analysis and found the numbers are entirely reasonable,from 1995 to 2010. Mayor Sullivan noted the issue tonight is to consider whether the City should continue participation in the Livable Communities Act so the grant can be used. 14 • COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 Council Member Lyden stated he has a long history of having a philosophical difference with the Metropolitan Council since their policies are based on smart growth which is based on density and will raise density and rental in Lino Lakes. Council Member Lyden stated that he does not believe this is why people move to Lino Lakes. Mayor Sullivan noted that the areas identified for multi - family housing are located specifically in three areas and the amount of affordable housing is not identified in the Comprehensive Plan. She clarified that affordable housing is not the same as subsidized housing. Council Member Bergeson noted these are only goals, not mandates, and have not changed from a year ago. He stated that he thinks the grant the City received has allowed the City to do good things in the Town Center area and he supported being able to finish using the grant which necessitates supporting these goals. Council Member Bergeson moved to adopt Resolution No. 99 — 139, as presented. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried with Council Members Lyden and Dahl voting no.

Consideration of Resolution No. 99 - 138, Initiate Feasibility Study and Authorize Eminent Domain, Apollo Drive Improvements Phase 4 - (4/5 Vote Required) — Brian Wessel — Mr. Wessel advised that the City is currently master planning the Town Center located on the northeast quadrant of 35W and Trunk Highway 49 interchange. In order to ensure adequate roadway access and utility service to this entire quadrant, the City needs to initiate a public improvement. Staff noted the requirements of Minnesota Statutes to order the preparation of a feasibility report studying the proposed improvements, which would include roadways, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water service. COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 Staff recommended approval of the resolution as drafted to order a report. Attorney Hawkins explained that a feasibility report is required for public projects. Mayor Sullivan noted that the next agenda item addresses whether eminent domain should be authorized for the construction and suggested that issue be addressed prior to ordering a feasibility study. She noted that if the Council does not authorize eminent domain, a feasibility report is not needed. Attorney Hawkins explained that both agenda items must pass or neither would move forward. Mayor Sullivan asked that Item 6F be considered at this time. The Council agreed. Consideration of Resolution No. 99 - 140, Authorize Eminent Domain for Purposes to construct an extension of Apollo Drive from Lake Drive to 77th Avenue within the Northeast Quadrant of the Lino Lakes Town Center Project — (3/5 Vote Required) - William Hawkins - Staff advised that the resolution would authorize eminent domain proceedings to construct an extension of Apollo Drive from Lake Driv ��'t Avenue. Attorney Hawkins stated that staff believes in order for this are to be extended. He advised that an agreement has not yet be improvement but if the Council supports opening the ar to negotiate the matter, it should consider a public the possibility to negotiate a private project. llo Drive needs e funding of that ent, based on the inability ver, this would not eliminate Council Member Bergeson stated that s a County project on County Road J for trunk sewer improvement involvi n . main. He noted that eminent domain can end up in a number of ways: negotiat , *r emi ent domain, a friendly eminent domain, or a contentious eminent domai at this does not have to be a contentious process and often times a negotiat s successful with an amicable settlement. Council Member Lyde e i' he staff report recommends their application be considered and asked if all who approve the PDO needs to change their vote. Attorney Hawkins stated if the vote was unanimous, any member can bring it back for consideration. Council Member Lyden asked if that means any of the members can go back on their word. Attorney Hawkins noted the motion contained a time schedule which did not take place so the Council could move to reconsider based on what the Council believes is appropriate. Council Member Lyden asked if the Council is being asked to approve a road from Highway 49 to 77th Street and asked if there is a good idea of the alignment and who would be impacted. Attorney Hawkins explained that staff will need to speak with property owners prior to determining the alignment to assure the best alignment for the properties. Council Member Neal left the meeting at 8:33 p.m. 16 • COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 Council Member Lyden stated a road is being considered to function and serve buildings or sites the Council has not yet seen. He stated he has not seen a site plan and noted it would be difficult to ascertain approval of a road until the uses, etc. are known. Mr. Wessel stated they have received preliminary input from landowners and anticipate finalizing the master plan by the end of January. He stated the plan has been publicly visible for some time but he is concerned with how to provide access to the shopping center. Mr. Wessel reviewed the alignment considerations and stated staff will review the options. Attorney Hawkins stated that if the City wishes the road to be relocated, the City can require them to dedicate that area and this one can be vacated. Council Member Lyden stated that he sees this as two different issues. He noted that Mr. Baylor presented an exciting plan for a McDonald's and he was promised a private driveway so he believes that should be considered with the issue of eminent domain remaining as a second issue. Council Member Neal returned at 8:37 p.m. Attorney Hawkins advised the City cannot use general fund improvements so a 429 project with assessment back to considered. or public hers would have to be Council Member Lyden stated that it appe as a mistake to grant the private road in the first place. He commented that " °`e est effort is a mistake but it may be a larger mistake to not recognize th Mayor Sullivan stated that there were no issues with the roadway when it was considered and that h t th ity in an interesting situation. She stated the problem is that the private road was agree •,nditions that were not documented at the time However, the City does not buy roads e oted that Mr. Baylor had the impression the City could provide some type of assistance tax abatement from the City toward the road construction. She stated that while this can be considered for industrial projects, it cannot be considered for Mr. Baylor's commercial project. Mayor Sullivan stated that eminent domain allows ninety (90) days to continue with negotiations. She stated her understanding that negotiations are completely stalled since subsidy has been requested which the City does not have the capacity to provide. In addition to providing ninety (90) days, it also allows the new Council to determine if they feel assistance is appropriate. Mayor Sullivan stated that eminent domain would assess the value added back to the property that this road would serve and there is always the possibility that settlement could occur prior to eminent domain. Tim Baylor, JADT, stated that he submitted a letter in May of 1998 requesting the City complete the deal they agreed to; to allow the road to be built and the project to commence. He stated the minutes are clear and concise in that regard. He stated that he is present tonight to answer questions about the project but wants to reiterate that something was approved in April, a process COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 may not have taken place, but he and several others believed these things would happen. He stated that the stalemate with negotiations is not with him or Mr. Rehbein but with staff relating to what was approved in April of 1998. Mr. Baylor stated that he and Mr. Rehbein have started to discuss the development and are making progress. He stated he cannot imagine how this Developer's Agreement will include a 429 eminent domain project and be more simple than the document he requested in accordance with the agreement reached in April of 1998. Mayor Sullivan stated her understanding that in April the Council approved private development of a road to McDonald's and it was the intent of the Staff recommendation that the road be turned back to the City after development because that is what typically happens. Mayor Sullivan stated that Mr. Baylor has asked for fair market value when the City takes the road over and her concern is that the City has no way to purchase the property from Mr. Baylor. Mr. Baylor stated he has already delayed the project for three to four months and it may be next fall before the project proceeds but he wants to assure that on March 1st, with the conditions adhered to he can start construction. He stated that he did not submit • to the property owners for approval but, rather, submitted it to the City of Lino L , " ow the procedures, and met the criteria required. Council Member Dahl asked Mr. Baylor if he just state Baylor clarified that his negotiations with private negotiations are stalled with City staff. Council Member Dahl asked if progre h session. Mr. Baylor stated that pr sions are not stalled. Mr. Rehbein are not stalled but ade since the discussion at the last work en "" ade. Council Member Lyden as '� �. couldn't approve their work by approving the Developer's Agreeme ith ause of eminent domain or the other issue of the road. Mr. Baylor stated that he h t' g to do that for several months and it is his opinion that it cannot be done. Mr. Baylor stated the eminent domain process will solve several things and ultimately insure the road is constructed through the property but the timetable may be extended and that is not what was agreed to earlier. He stated his preference to continue negotiations with Mr. Rehbein to see if they can work through this. Mr. Baylor stated he sees eminent domain as an unnecessary step. Council Member Neal asked if Mr. Baylor believes he and Mr. Rehbein can do the project and leave the City out of it. Mr. Baylor stated that they have made progress and, other than price, he does not see why they can't come to some arrangement. Mayor Sullivan asked if the two (2) requirements during negotiations were: 1) that any agreement on how a private road is built cannot limit access to the rest of property; and, 2) the City doesn't have funds to pay for fair market value of the land. 18 • • • COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 Mr. Wessel stated the first statement is a policy issue but the second statement is a fact that Attorney Hawkins has already alluded to. Mr. Baylor stated that he asked the City for fair market value but said in conjunction with the conveyance of the road that he pays for that there be some appropriate payment in accordance with fair market value. He stated this is also what is being discussed with Mr. Rehbein. Mayor Sullivan stated the Developer's Agreement requires the City to pay fair market value if the road is dedicated. Attorney Hawkins stated that is accurate. Mr. Baylor stated that was not his intention but he is asking for fair market value apportioned to that portion of the road. Council Member Lyden asked Mr. Baylor if he is asking for a period of time to pursue a private action. He stated if the Council is prepared to go toward eminent domain with the outstanding issue of the Developer's Agreement (the road) then there is no other hold u. to the Developer's Agreement. He asked why the Council is not capable of approving the er's Agreement and eminent domain at the same time. Attorney Hawkins stated the Developer's Agreement is for t c`� not a private road but the agreement deals with a 429 project with the cost bei Mayor Sullivan stated that if the Developer's Agr domain, then the agreement could be appr domain taking place, then the private Attorney Hawkins stated that be funded. done. proves everything except the eminent ment is negotiated prior to eminent e is ayment for the private roadway and how it would Mayor Sullivan asked mber Lyden if he is suggesting approval of the Developer's Agreement minus the e gY =n "'domain process. Council Member Lyden stated that would be the second option but the first option is to provide Mr. Baylor with enough time to pursue a private negotiation. Council Member Bergeson stated if eminent domain is pursued, then a different agreement would need to be developed. Attorney Hawkins stated that is accurate and that type of agreement are not completed at this time. Council Member Bergeson stated that he believes eminent domain would facilitate the completion of such an agreement. Mr. Hawkins stated the road right -of -way would be dedicated, the road installed, and the costs assessed to benefiting property owners. COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 Mark Vergo, representing Mr. Rehbein, stated that they continue to talk with Mr. Baylor about the road but would support eminent domain to start the process moving. He stated they could continue to talk with Mr. Baylor even if eminent domain is approved. Council Member Lyden asked if they have approached McDonald's to offer their land. Mr. Vergo stated that he is not aware of that happening. Council Member Lyden stated that he was aware of negotiations that were not of the highest moral nature. Mr. Vergo again stated that he is not aware of that conversation. Mr. Wessel clarified that there have been only ethical discussions and Richard Engstrom has made a statement that McDonald's assured they would build in Lino Lakes. Council Member Dahl stated she spoke with Mr. Engstrom today due to receiving conflicting views and statements and, from that conversation today, Mr. Engstrom said he has a binding contract with Tim Baylor and all the permits are ready to go if the final plat were to be approved. Council Member Dahl stated that she asked Mr. Engstrom if he said that to staff and he said the only person he has talked to is Brian Wessel. Council Member Dahl sty_ she asked whether or not he would or would not come and Mr. Engstrom sail d that and had the understanding that the City of Lino Lakes wanted to go wit n. Mr. Engstrom said he was not against or for eminent domain. Council Me e 1 r. Engstrom stated that he does have a binding contract with Tim Baylor th e��$° s ed and would like to go through as soon as possible. Mr. Wessel advised that Mr. Engstrom sh indicated McDonald's remains comm the only thing keeping it from goi ted and with no appointment and gin Lino Lakes. Mr. Engstrom had stated prval of the agreement and paying for the road. Council Member Bergeson ' 3 .` at cDonald's is committed to Lino Lakes and the site controlled by Mr. Bay tha positive indication that their commitment is firm and the site is firm. Council Member Dahl s ed that McDonald's prefers Mr. Baylor's site because of the location. Council Member Lyden asked if Mr. Engstrom said anything about anyone else approaching him and offering his or her land. Council Member Dahl stated that he did indicate he had been approached. Mayor Sullivan asked if this information is relevant to the issue before the Council tonight. Council Member Neal stated that he would like to hear this information. Council Member Dahl stated that if her intention was to put someone on the spot, she would have done it before or when Mr. Rehbein's representative spoke. She advised that Mr. Engstrom stated he was approached by Rehbein but did not indicate which Rehbein. She stated her 20 • • COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 20, 1999 impression that Greg Hayes was the brokerage for Mr. Rehbein. Council Member Dahl stated that she is not trying to put people on the spot but to learn the truth and what is going on since there are too may people talking. Council Member Dahl stated that she does her own homework and will not stop that in her work on the City Council. She stated that in order to make a good decision in her representation of all in the City, she needs all the facts and if that means she needs to call someone then that is what she will do. Council Member Bergeson stated that he does not find it surprising that landowners would contact McDonald's but finds it proof of the desirability of McDonald's and this project. He stated this gives credibility to what has been proposed and if McDonald's is committed to Mr. Baylor's site, then the Council should get it done.
