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.

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.

City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Meeting
October 4, 1999
Rick referred to a concept plan of the complex noting it will
change.
Jeff Reinert made a motion, seconded by Pam Taschuk, to approve
the acquisition of property from Mr. Montain and Mr. Molitor for
the purpose of a future athletic complex. Motion carried
unanimously.
Paul Montain returned to the meeting.
Review Potential Park Area in Clearwater Creek Development Center
Rick advised that at the August, 1999, Park Board meeting, the
Park Board supported the 4.7 acre land acquisition in the
Clearwater Creek Development Center.
Rick stated he will be meeting with the developer whom is
assuming the City will negotiate and purchase the balance of the
property at market value. Rick noted that the park dedication
ordinance will be revised by the first of the year. The park
dedication at that time may be higher than the current
requirements. The developer will want the park dedication based
on the current ordinance.
Park Board members expressed concern regarding the price of the
property, indicating they are not comfortable with buying the
property at $40,000 per acre. Members also expressed concern
regarding location and the addition of the athletic complex if
approved.
Pat Huelman made a motion, seconded by Jeff Reinert, to approve
Rick to negotiate and discuss the price with the developer, using
his discretion, and to report back to the Park Board for
approval. Motion carried unanimously.
RECREATION DEPARTMENT UPDATE:
Rick referred to the Program Highlights Flyer from
August /September, 1999. He noted that the Options Program ended
on August 6, 1999. Many positive comments from families were
received about this program.
This year's Safety Camp, held on August 12, 1999, was the largest
to date with 110 children registered. A video is currently being
produced and will be presented to the Park Board upon completion.
• The Party Wagon was very popular this summer. It was reserved
nearly every weekend from June through September.

The Floor Hockey Mini Camp is a new program for 4 -6 year olds
designed to teach the basic fundamentals and techniques of floor
hockey. There has been a lot of positive response to this
program and only two openings remain.
The Fall Soccer season is well on its way. The numbers of teams
increased from 32 in 1998 to 50 this season.
The Family Turkey Shoot is planned for Saturday, November 13,
1999. The Recreation Department is planning for over 300
participants this year. Approximately 25 volunteers are needed
to make this event a success.
This year's Breakfast with Santa will be held on Saturday,
December 11, 1999. The event already has over 100 participants
registered. Because of the popularity of this event, it has been
moved to St. Joseph's Church, to accommodate a larger number of
participants.
Work is currently underway on a cooperative Winter Family Event
with the Wargo Nature Center. The goal is to hold the event in
January or February of 2000.
PARKS DEPARTMENT UPDATE:
Rick reviewed a memo from Mike Hoffman, Parks Supervisor, which
summarizes the maintenance highlights for August and September,
1999.
Rick noted the improvements that have been made to Sunrise Park
and Rice Lake Estates Park.
Quail Ridge Boardwalk - Rick advised the Parks Department
recently barricaded the boardwalk in the Quail Ridge Development
due to safety concerns. The enclosed letter was sent out to area
residents requesting feedback on various options the City is
considering. Rick referred to the three letters he received from
area residents.
Staff is recommending that the entire boardwalk be removed. This
boardwalk segment currently does not serve a useful purpose.
Certainly when Quail Ridge Park is developed, this boardwalk will
serve a critical link to this future park. When the park is
developed, a new boardwalk system could be installed. With the
Park Board's concurrence, the boardwalk will be removed this fall
or winter.

Park Board Meeting
October 4, 1999
Pat asked if there will be problems replacing the boardwalk when
the park is developed. Rick advised the Rice Creek Watershed
District has indicated the boardwalk can be replaced because it
is a critical connection to an active park.
Pam Taschuk made a motion, seconded by Chris Welsand, to remove
the boardwalk at Quail Ridge. Motion carried unanimously.
Behm's Century Farm Park Development Update - At the July 12,
City Council meeting, the Council approved selling 2.55 acres of
City property in Behm's Century Farm Park. The proceeds are to
be used for development of the remaining park land (6 acres).
Mr. Uhde has agreed to provide the following scope of work:
• Clearing and grubbing all areas for bike paths and
active play areas and removing storm damaged trees and
groundf al l .
• Install all necessary silt fence and erosion control.
• Perform park grading including grading for trails, play
area, and drainage.
• Tillage of existing soils in all open areas to prepare
for seeding.
• Installation of trails including 4" sub -base.
The estimated project costs of the above listed items is
approximately $52,000. Mr. Uhde has agreed to provide a summary
of development costs. If total development costs are less than
$75,000, Mr. Uhde will submit a cashiers check for the
difference. It is anticipated that the additional amount will be
used for irrigation, seeding, and paving trails.
Rick referred to a grading plan for the park area. The eastern
trail is located within a 50' wide strip of park land leading to
Mustang Lane. An additional trail connection is also located in
the northeastern portion of the park which lines up with the
trail connection to the 5th Addition. Rick noted the inside of
the trail loop will be leveled and prepared for seeding. Areas
outside the trail loop will be kept in its natural state. It is
anticipated that the southeastern portion of the park will be
kept more of a natural area which may include prairie grass, etc.

Park Board Meeting
October 4, 1999
The Rice Creek Watershed District approved the project including
realigning the drainage ditch on September 22, 1999. Grading
activity will begin very soon.
Playground installation is scheduled for Saturday, October 23,
9:00am. Flanagan Sales was selected as the vendor. About a
dozen residents have expressed an interest in assisting the City
in installing the playground equipment.
Rick added that Mr. Uhde will be grading all the trail within
Behm's Century Farms this fall. Funding for the trail paving
will be needed to complete the trails which will require
approximately $80,000.
TRAILS UPDATE:
Rick discussed the following trails update:
Marshan Park Trail
This trail connection was completed a few weeks ago. Staff will
be restoring the area within a few weeks. Next spring,
additional shrubbery along the northern side of the trail will be
planted to create additional buffering between the residential
homes and the newly created trail segment.
Lilac Street Trail
This trail segment was installed in early September, 1999. Turf
restoration will be done this fall.
Otter Lake Road Trail
This trail should be completed sometime this fall.
Pam asked about the pond within Marshan Park. Rick advised the
pond belongs to the Townhomes.
Paul stated he received a call from a resident who is concerned
about the completion of the Wenzel Farms trail. Paul advised the
resident there is currently no money in the budget for trail
completion at Wenzel Farms.
Rick added that TKDA has assured him the bridge in Wenzel Farms
will be installed before winter.

NEW BUSINESS:
Meeting with Hugo - Jeff advised the City of Hugo has provided
the City with the formula they have used to collect park
dedication dollars. He stated the formula may be used as a
starting place for the Park Board to determine how park
dedication fees should be collected in the future.
Park Board members discussed options for funding. It was
determined that a new source of revenue is needed because the
City is on the back end of the growth curve. Money is needed to
develop parks and maintain them.
The Park Board determined a work session will be held on November
1, 1999, after the Park Board meeting. The work session will be
held to discuss different options for park funding. Rick will
gather information relating to other cities and their park
dedication requirements.
SCHEDULE NEXT PARK BOARD MEETING:
The next Park Board meeting will be held on Monday, November 1,
1999, 6:30pm, at the new Lino Lakes City Hall.
ADJOURN:
Pam Taschuk made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Paul Montain.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:53pm.

TO: Park Board Members
FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director
SUBJECT: Review Revised Highland Meadows Preliminary Plat
The developer of the Highland Meadows development is amending the approved preliminary
plat. Therefore, the revised plat must be reviewed.
The new preliminary plat contains 50.85 acres of land consisting of 77 single family detached
units and 52 single family attached townhouse units. The issues related to parks and trails are as
follows:
1. The original plat provided a east /west trail connection from Marilyn Drive to the Mardon
Acres Development. A 1.8 acre park was also located near this trail segment. This is located
near the power line easement. The revised concept eliminates the mini park, which I concur.
The Park Board may want to consider requiring only a 15' wide park property for this trail
segment rather than the entire depicted area (Outlot A).
2. The trail connection from Marilyn Court to Main Street still exists. However, there is a slight
change in location, which I support.
3. The park area has been reduced from 5.2 acres to 4.01 acres. The park access has also been
changed. It's important to ensure that adequate access to the park area is provided. The park
area is directly related to the proposed Bluebill Ponds Development. It is imperative that as
these two projects continue through the process that the proposed park areas are analyzed
together to ensure the future neighborhood park will be functional. It is my understanding
that road locations may be modified as the Highland Meadows and Bluebill Ponds platting
process continues. This may alter the shape and size of the proposed park area.

City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Meeting
August 4, 1997
The August 4, 1997, City of Lino Lakes Park Board meeting was
called to order at 6:33pm, by Joe Schmidt, Acting Chair.
Roll call was taken, members present were Joe Schmidt, Betty
Piper, Paul Montain, Pam Taschuk, and Kim Sullivan. Sharon Lane
was absent.
Also present were Mike Hoffman, Interim Director, Barry
Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor, Mary Fogarty, and
Sandie Wood, Recording Secretary.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM JULY 7, 1997 MEETING:
The July 7, 1997 Park Board minutes were deferred.
OPEN MIKE:
There was no one present for open mike.
INTRODUCTIONS:
Barry introduced Mike Hoffman, Park Department Lead Worker,
Interim Director. He said Mike has worked for the City of Lino
Lakes for 14 years.
HIGHLAND MEADOWS DEVELOPMENT:
Barry gave background information. He said the proposed
development is planned at the intersections of 79th Street,
Marilyn Drive, and Lois Lane. The total area planned is 55.9
acres with a park dedication of 5.2 acres. He explained the
options were to accept as planned or discuss options in regards
to trails and park dedication. Barry recommended to discuss
entry points by trail into the park from the west side of the
development. He stated the park dedication is shy of the 10 per
cent park dedication ordinance.
Barry then introduced Bruce Kerber who discussed the trail
location. Bruce said the City had suggested the trail go between
lots 35 and 36, 8 and 9, and 61 and 62. He proposed the trail go
between Lots 41 and 42 and then north along Mardon Acres and
Highland Meadows, entering into the park.
Paul asked how many acres were in the whole development. Bruce
said he was not sure. Barry thought it was 55.9 acres less
wetlands.
Bruce said there was going to be a meeting on August 7 with the
residents so he will know more after that meeting.

City of Lino Lakes
Park Board Meeting
August 4, 1997
Kim said the ordinance does not read developable property.
Paul asked if the 5 acres was high. Mike Hoffman said he had
walked this area and it looked like it was all upland and was dry
and had beautiful mature oak trees on it.
The board asked the developer to be real up front with potential
customers and let them know that there will be a park on adjacent
property. Bruce said they give maps to their clients so they
know what they are looking at.
Kim wanted to know if the Park Board would have an opportunity to
make changes if action was taken by them at this meeting.
The Park Board had concerns about lot 59 and it being bordered on
two sides of park. There has been problems in other parks when
this situation occurred. After further discussion on lot 59 a
motion was made.
MOTION: Paul made a motion to accept the development plan with
the following items being the conditions of the development.
1. If the developer does not exceed the current dedication of
5.2 acres, the Park Board would like to see a monetary
dedication based on the 55.9 acre development.
2. The developer agreed to establish a trail starting on
Marilyn Drive proceeding easterly between lots 41 and 42, to
the westerly border of the development. The trail will then
proceed north between Mardon Acres and Highland Meadows,
entering into the park.
3. It is the Park Boards understanding that the developer
will reconfigure lots 59 and 66 so lot 59 is not bordered by
park land on two sides. Staff should review and approve the
plans to make sure they are drawn as the board had in mind.
The plans should also be brought to the next Park Board for
review.
Kim seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
ANOKA ELECTRIC EASEMENT - UPDATE:
Randy Schumacher, City Administrator was going to give staff an
update of this item after he talked to Anoka Electric. We did
not hear from him so will have to bring it to next meeting.

SUBJECT: Eagle Scout Project — Lino Park Sign
Eagle Scout candidate Gordy Sargaent recently completed his Eagle Scout project. (10/13/99)
Gordy's project consisted of re- designing the landscaping around the existing Lino Park sign.
Work performed included the following:
• Removal of existing shrubs and perennials.
• Re- grading area around sign.
• Installation of a 2 tiered planting bed consisting of landscape blocks.
• Installation of plant material consisting of shrubbery, perennials, and annual flowers.
• Installation of landscape fabric.
• Installation of woodchip mulch.
The new planting bed is approximately 13'x25' in size and is a huge improvement over the
previous landscaping.
Great job Gordy!

SUBJECT: Eagle Scout Project — Wood Duck Nesting Boxes
In August, Eagle Scout candidate Paul Nelson completed his Eagle Scout project. Paul's project
consisted of cutting, assembling, and installing (11) wood duck nesting boxes.
The boxes were placed in the following locations:
• City Hall Park (2)
• New City Hall (4)
• Pheasant Hills Park (3)
• Shenandoah Park (2)
Based on previous experience monitoring wood duck houses, I would estimate between 50 -150
ducklings will be hatched annually from these houses.
Thanks Paul for your hard work.

1999/2000 Special Events
Family Turkey Shoot - The Family Turkey is just around the corner. The event will be
taking place on Saturday, November 13 from 10 - 11:30 am at Centennial Middle
School. This year's event is sponsored by Circle Pines Lexington Lions, Forest Lake
Area Athletic Association, Lakeland National Bank, Lino Lakes Lions and Lino
Lakes State Bank. In 1998, we had a difficult time finding volunteers for this event.
This year, however, over 50 people from organizations such as the Centennial and
Forest Lake High School Honor Societies, Centennial Women of Today and the Girl
Scouts have volunteered to help with this event.
Breakfast with Santa - Breakfast with Santa will be held on Saturday, December 11
from 8:30 - 10:00 am. As of 10/22/99, 120 people have registered for this event.
Because of spatial limitations at the Lino Lakes Senior Center, Breakfast with Santa
has been relocated this year to St. Joseph 's Church. As a direct result of this location
change, we are able to accommodate up to 160 participants - an increase of 50 from
previous years. We are, however, still looking for volunteers to help with this event.
Currently, we have about 13 volunteers including Santa and Santa's helper.
Secret Holiday Shop - The Secret Holiday Shop is back this year after a one year
absence - a result of spatial limitations. The Secret Holiday Shop program gives
children the opportunity to buy gifts for their friends and family without anyone
knowing what they bought. Gifts range in price from $0.25 - $7.00. This event will be
held on December 11 from 9:30 - 11:00 am at St. Joseph's Church.
Letters from Santa - Each year Santa wishes all boys and girls a very happy holiday
from the North Pole. In 1998, over 120 requests were received by the Parks and
Recreation Department for Letters from Santa. We are estimating on over 150
requests this year. All requests must be received by December 10. Letters are mailed
around December 17.
Snow Day - Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department and Lino Lakes Parks
and Recreation Department declare a "Snow Day ". Snow Day is a free family event
devoted entirely to snow, winter and outdoor activities. Families are invited to come
and experience snow like they never have before. Snow Day will be held on
Saturday, January 22, 2000 from 10 am - 1 pm at Wargo Nature Center. Featured
activities include: skijoring, snowshoeing, cross - country skiing, Norwegian
kicksledding, winter softball, winter rope pull, winter camping demonstrations,
nature programs, crafts and more.

SUBJECT: October Park Maintenance Highlights
October has flow by as it always seems to and with November, just around the corner, we know
the cold and snow will be upon us shortly. October has found us putting our parks to bed for the
winter as well as working on a number of park and trail improvement projects.
MAINTENANCE HIGHLIGHTS FOR OCTOBER
• Mowing and garbage pickup at all park locations.
• Trail Restoration
Three trail segments (Marshan, Aqua Lane, and Fox Trace) received restoration work along
the edge of the trail. Work consisted of adding fill, grading, tilling, raking, sodding,
watering, and rolling sod at each location. 825 yards of sod was laid to complete all three
areas.
• Lino Park
Park sign landscaping — see Eagle Scout project summary for details.
Parking lot — a new bituminous parking lot has been installed as part of the Lake Drive
improvements. Maintenance staff removed the fence separating the playground from the
parking lot so the blacktop could be run up to the concrete walkway. The fencing has been
re- installed. New sod has been laid around the park sign as well as the boulevard between
the parking lot and Lake Drive.
• Ballfield Improvements
Sunrise Fields #1 and #2 — Lip reduction where infield ag -lime meets outfield turf and where
warning track meets outfield turf. Over time a prominent lip forms as the ag -lime mat is
either washed by rain or blown by wind into the adjacent turf. Maintenance staff has
corrected this problem by sod cutting out the affected area, altering grade and soil
composition where necessary, and re- laying existing sod to establish a new level transition
line in these areas.
• Maintenance staff has made additional cutouts for the upcoming Turkey Shoot.
• Trail inspection.
• Behm's Century Farm Park — Playground Install
Friday, October 22, maintenance staff and a professional installer set all the posts for the
large play structure and swing set. On Saturday, October 23 approximately 15 -20
neighborhood volunteers worked with staff and the installer to hang the decks and play
events on the main structure.
At the time of this writing staff is in the process of installing the remaining equipment. (2 -5
structure, 2 seat teeter, and stepping stones.) Upon completion the Kid Timber border will be
pinned in place with the resilient surfacing to follow.
As you can see October has been a slightly busy month with a number of projects being
completed. Also, a special thanks goes out to all those who donated their time at Behm's
Century Farm Park.

SUBJECT: Potential Park Area in Clearwater Creek Development Center
At the October Park Board meeting, Park Board members directed me to discuss the potential
park land acquisition with the developer of the Clearwater Creek Development Center. The
developer indicated an assumption that the city would purchase the proposed 4.7 acres of land
for market value which is approximately $40,000 per acre. I expressed that the city is not able to
afford market prices for this parcel of land but we would be interested in working with the
developer in providing current and future park dedication credit. This was not acceptable.
Therefore, it appears the potential park in this area is a dead issue.

Please note January 3 is a City Holiday. Therefore, I am recommending the January meeting to

immediately following the January Park Board meeting.
The first Monday in September is Labor Day. I suggest we schedule that for Tuesday,
September 5. Perhaps, since the agenda is normally light in September, we can designate this
meeting as a park tour and BBQ. Let me know what you think.

DISCUSSION OF OTTER LAKE SERVICE ROAD, STRE ITY
IMPROVEMENT, DAVID AHRENS
Mr. Wessel briefly updated the Council on this matt In • 6. ��i ° ` decided to
actively pursue commercial and industrial devel. I -3 'W ain Street area. He
outlined several reasons why Otter Lake Ro .r ah_x o accommodate the
development.
The City received a proposal from
convenience store on the s
what was needed to s
Ts a to construct a gas station and
I -35E and Main Street. This proposal is
t of I -35E.
There are some c east side development as Ms. Tschida needs access to
the prope onvenience store and gas station is to be located. With the
relocation oad, the park and ride lot will require a convenient access and
the location Y ` co ecting street between the old Otter Lake Road and the re- aligned
Otter Lake R? d must be determined. Another important issue to be resolved is the owner
of the land where the connecting street is proposed to be located is opposed to the
construction of the connecting street and demands access to Main Street from his
property. Anoka County has already stated that the reason they are assisting with the
construction of the re- aligned Otter Lake Road is to eliminate accesses to Main Street
between the freeway and the re- aligned Otter Lake Road. If the City allows the property
owner access to Main Street, the City risks the loss of financial assistance from the
County.
Mr. Richard Schreier, the owner of the land where the connecting street is proposed to be
located explained that nobody has talked to him about the connecting street. He stated
that he does not need the connecting road and objects to the proposed assessments. Mr.
Schreier asked why Phelps Road is not being extended to the re- aligned Otter Lake Road.
COUNCIL WORK SESSION JANUARY 8, 1997
Staff explained that there is a large wetland in that area and crossing the wetland would
be very expensive.
Council directed staff to prepare an outline of the proposed assessments for this area and
send it to them in their Council packets for Monday's meeting.
DISCUSSION OF LEASE AGREEMENT FOR NEXTELL, INC./ SPRINT
COMMUNICATIONS, DAVID AHRENS
Many communities sell space on water towers to wireless businesses for the placement of
antennas. The City has hired a consultant to prepare a plan for the location of antennas on
City water towers and to recommend a fee for allowing use of the water towers.
Nextell and Sprint have both approached staff and requested antenna space on the current
water tower and the tower under construction. Representatives from b
presented their requests to Council. The requests included a buil
base of the water tower for storage of their equipment. Discu

UPDATE, Q- p GANIZED COLLECTION AND HAULER INFORMATION,
JACKIE CONSTANT
Ms. Constant updated the City Council on this matter. She has met with all of the refuse
haulers in Lino Lakes twice and has prepared a proposal for organized collection. Ms.
Constant outlined the proposal.
It was noted that a survey was taken and 54% of Lino Lakes residents favored organized
collection. It was also noted that currently haulers have little regard for safety issues
when they are in the City. The concern about the number of garbage trucks on City streets
and the wear these trucks cause was also noted.
Council Members Lyden and Kuether expressed interest in a consortium of haulers rather
than just one hauler. Council Member Kuether felt the timing for organized collection is

bad. She would like to wait until the City decides how to fund improvements to the City
streets. In addition, Council Member Kuether felt nobody has proved how many dollars
would be saved by organized collection.
Council Member Bergeson said that he had a slight preference for a consortium.
Council Member Neal said that he was opposed to organized collection.
Ms. Joyce Scharpen, a resident of Lino Lakes explained that Ace Solid Waste had talked
to her and suggested that the City consider adding a $1.00 tax to each bill. The tax could
be used to reconstruct the streets.
Ms. Constant and members of her committee will attend the next Council work session.

Mr. Kenny operates a lawn and garden service and his wife operates a floral service from

Mr. Kenny paved his driveway and the area over his septic system. Now the septic is
failing. Mr. Laubersheimer said he has had a five (5) year battle with Mr. Kenny about
Mr. Kenny's activities and other abuses. Mr. Lauberscheimer asked the City Council to
require that Mr. Kenny conform to the conditions set out in the CUP.

the warnings from Ms. Wyland or the Building Official. The only action that can be taken
at this time is for the City Council to required that Mr. Kenny apply for an amended CUP
or adhere to the original CUP.

to the Council. This matter will be on the August 6, 1997 work session agenda.

sign options. Mr. Ahrens will also explore stripping a cross walk near the school.
Staff noted that a trail has been established on the north side of Elm Street across the
senior cottages property. This trail will be,,paved in late August of this year.

a permanent tree disposal site. Council was for direction on handling trees damaged by
storms.

Mr. Asleson will prepare options for the Council to consider and keep the Council
updated on this matter.
RESHANAU LAKE TRAIL, COUNCIL MEMBER BERGESON
Council Member Bergeson noted that a new subdivision has been constructed beside a
trail that has existed on the north side of Reshanau Lake for years. There is
documentation that Mr. Uhde, the developer, has said that this trail would never be cut-
off. He asked staff to prepare a status report on the trail and a recommendation that would
secure the location of this trail.
Mr. Asleson explained that he had discussions with homeowners in that area and was
close to an agreement on the trail. Mr. Asleson was directed to bring- a status report to the

automated systems. The Council was given a copy of Mr. Norton's presentation and
reviewed the options.

COUNCIL WORK SESSION JULY 23, 1997
UPDATE MARVY STREET IMPROVEMENTS, DAVE AHRENS
A petition against the proposed Marvy Street improvements had been received. This
petition effectively prevents the Council from making the improvement and assessing the
benefited property owners. The City Council must formally recognize the petition. If the
Council feels that septic problems in this area warrant, an emergency improvement could
be initiated. The costs would be funded by the Area and Unit Fund. This fund would be
repaid as property owners petitioned to connect and were assessed.
Ms. Diane Turner, Sunset Road told the Council of her need for sanitary sewer.
Council discussed the matter further and asked that two (2) questions be researched:
- If sanitary sewer was extended down Marvy Street to Sunset Road could ether property
owners connect? The area is not in the MUSA so property owners cannot unless they
they have an emergency.
- How much City funds would be needed? This would have to be 'esearch.
There was discussion about alternative septic systems taff will determine Metropolitan
Council criteria regarding rebuilding septic systems and bring' this information to the
August 6, 1997 work session.
The petition will be brought to the next council meeting for Council action.

matter.

circulation questions and complaints at the July 28th Council meeting.
OFFICE RENTAL SPACE, RANDY SCHUMACHER
The lack of office space at city hall was outlined. Staff has found office space in the
Acton Construction building on Phelps Road. This space can be leased on a month to
month basis for $160 per month.

CONSIDERATION OF CITYCOUNCIL TRAINING, JOHN LANDERS
Mayor Landers requested' that all Council Members attend at least one training session
each year. After. discussion on the matter, it was decided to put this item on the next work
session.
OTHER CONCERNS
Mayor Landers noted that the State Prison is installing new fencing in an area which is
opposed by the nearby residents. The residents feel the new fence would allow prisoners
access to the area immediately adjacent to their homes
Mayor Landers suggested that the Notification Ordinance include a requirement that a list
of all property owners receiving a notification be attached to the notification.
Staff explained that Mr. Mike Norling who lives on Coyote Trail has installed a paved
driveway that is more than 26 feet wide. This is in violation of the City Code. Mr.
Norling wants to know the purpose of this restriction and may appear under Open Mike
on Monday evening to ask this question.

HEALTH INSURANCE BRIDGE, DAN TESCH & MARY VASKE
Previously, Council had directed staff to prepare a "financial bridge" for persons near
retirement. The Finance Department has many questions regarding this matter.
Currently, Police Officers are eligible for early retirement at age 55 and other staff are
eligible for retirement at age 58. Is Council considering offering a "bridge" until the
retired employee reaches age 62 or is Council considering a "bridge" until the retired
employee reaches age 65? It was noted that no employee is eligible for retired medical
benefits (Medicaid) until they reach age 65.
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 5, 1997
Staff suggested that instead of offering a "bridge" Council could consider offering an
increased percentage of sick leave. Currently, an employee who retires with 20 years of
service is eligible for 50% of their accumulated sick leave.
Council Member Bergeson noted that Bethel College continues to pay the medical benefit
to retires over the age of 60 as if they still were employed. There is no benefit for retirees
over the age of 65.
Council Member Bergeson was asked to provide additional information from the Bethel
College plan. Staff was directed to prepare parameters for retiree health coverage.
This matter will be discussed at the next work session.

send a letter stating that the Council will appoint a Council Member after the first of the
year when the new Council takes office.
LOCATION OF ANTENNA TOWERS, BRIAN WESSEL
Council Member Lyden suggested placing antenna towers on school property. Mr. Wessel

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 5, 1997
GERALD REHBEIN DEVELOPMENT PLAN, DAVID AHRENS
Mr. Ahrens presented Mr. Rehbein's development proposal and noted that he is preparing
a schedule for the construction of utility services.
Ms. Joan Tschida has submitted a proposal for a convenience store on Mr. Rehbein's
property located on the southeast quadrant of Main Street and 21st Avenue and plans to
be operational by June, 1998. She will present her development proposal to the Planning
and Zoning Board in December.
Staff explained that since the City is in litigation over development issues east of I -35E, it
appears logical to proceed with Ms. Tschida's proposal.
Since 21st Avenue is a boundary street with one -half of the street located in the City of
Centerville, a joint improvement project should be implemented. Staff is recommending
that the reconstruction be a MSA improvement.
Staff explained that Mr. Rehbein will pay for the feasibility re erty and
will be required to sign a letter stating he will not appeal

staff to develop the policy.
Council directed staff to delay certification of the Tagg assessment for one year and
prepare an assessment policy for multi -level properties where utility service is available.
Staff recommended that an appraisal of the Tagg property be completed within the next
year.
Lakes Addition Street Reconstruction - Staff noted that since the ballot question
regarding the reconstruction of streets in the Lakes Addition area received voter approval,
a financing plan for the reconstruction will be prepared.

Extension of Apollo Drive to Lake Drive - Staff is preparing a proposal to relocated two
(2) property owners in the area affected by the Apollo Drive extension project.
Council suggested that staff implement a process for keeping all the homeowners updated
regarding what is happening in this area.
PUBLIC FACILITIES UPDATE, BRIAN WESSEL
Staff presented a list of issues that need to be resolved in order to get the public facilities
under construction and completed in the summer of 1998. The most important issue is to
get title to the property that the City will receive in the land exchange deal with Anoka
County and the Metropolitan Council. The public facilities will be located on this
property.
The second most important issue will be to hire a project manager. Mr. Wessel has
received proposals for project manager from several companies.
Council will select a project manager at the next work session.

AMERICAN LEGION CLUB (LEGION CLUB)UPDATE, RANDY
SCHUMACHER
The Legion Club has been searching in Lino Lakes for a new location for their Club.
Their first location was unsuitable because a church is located within 1000 feet of the
building they wanted to purchase. A second location was selected. Since this location is
across the street from the prison, it too was unsuitable.
Council Member Kuether explained that the seller of this property is unhappy about how
the City handled the matter and has asked for reimbursement. Staff was directed to
prepare a reimbursement of the fees. Staff was also directed to obtain the advice of the
City Attorney if the seller wants reimbursement of additional costs.

BALD EAGLE LAKE WINTER PATROL, RANDY SCHUMACHER
The Ramsey County Sheriff's department patrols this lake. There has been a great deal of
vandalism and garbage left on the frozen lake and area residents requested that the
municipalities fund a more intensive patrol of the lake in an effort to keep the lake clean.
A committee was formed and Council Member Kuether was appointed to the committee
as the Lino Lakes representative. The committee prepared guidelines for patrol and each
municipality was asked to help fund the additional patrol.
Council Member Kuether noted that what the committee wanted accomplished did not
happen. She suggested that the City withdraw from this organization and not pay the fee.
Mr. Chief Pecchia noted that the Sheriff's Department is required by State Statute to
patrol the lake. Since the lake will continue to be patrolled, Mr. Schumacher was directed
to write to White Bear Township and let them know that Lino Lakes is no longer
interested in the patrol and will not be paying its fee.

The architects have determined the following space is needed:
City Hall 17,000
Police Department 17,000
Early Childhood Center 12,000
The current budget is $5,800,000.00. This would adequately fund the three (3) buildings
if they are constructed at the same time. The original campus of buildings concept is
based on the idea that some components such as heating would be shared. If these items
are not shared, the project is not affordable. The proposal is to build a civic campus which
is connected but maintains individual identities.
COUNCIL WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 10, 1997
Community rooms and conference rooms were discussed with staff noting that these
rooms are located so that they can be used by both the Police Department and the City
Hall.
Staff noted that if additional space is needed for the Police Department before the year
2010, an addition can be constructed.
Council asked why the Police Department and the City Hall cannot share a building?
Staff explained that they can share a building, however, each entity wanted a separate
identity. Council asked if a two (2) story building could serve both the City Hall and the
Police Department. Staff explained that separate identities could not be maintained.
Council asked if the Early Childhood Center is going to be big enough to take care of the
expansion needs of both the City Hall and the Police Department. Staff explained that
there would be enough space.
Staff displayed the floor plan for the Early Childhood Center building noting that it is a
simple building.

Council Member Neal felt the new Police Department building should be constructed
next to the fire station.
Council Member Lyden felt that the Council had demonstrated a commitment to building
the Police Department building and the Early Childhood Center and suggested that the
City Hall could wait.
Council Member Bergeson said that he could not make any decision on this matter
tonight and asked for another meeting to discuss this proposal.
Staff explained that the Early Childhood Center must be completed by November, 1998
to meet the needs of the School District.

The purpose of t

is to review the changes staff has made to the proposed 1998
feedback on the changes. The changes include the following:
- New Position, Engineering/Inspections Secretary (the position salary would be $20,000

PAGE 1
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 18, 1997
$457,140.00. Council directed staff to prioritize the list and cut the list between one -half
and three - quarters.
Staff outlined projected 1998 General Fund revenues totaling $4,564,310.00. Each item
was discussed. Staff noted that the SCORE grant is not included in revenues and neither
is the revenue from the City of Lexington building inspections contract. It is expected that
growth will be limited by the new Council. A reduction in building permit revenues is
expected and reflected in the 1998 Budget. Although the City is currently negotiating gas
franchises with both Minnegasco and NSP, franchise revenue is not expected in 1998 and
is, therefore, not budgeted.
Council discussed how the 1998 proposed levy and budget could be reduced. Council
Member Kuether stated that she would not support more than a 3% increase in the
budget. She suggested that department heads review their budgets and make their cuts.
Staff explained that there would be significant adjustments and possible staff cuts would
have to be discussed.
Council Member Bergeson noted that staff cuts could result in some ts. He

building permit r u ` :e reduced by $50,000 to reflect the new Council's election
promise to reduce ew housing starts in the City.
Staff noted that an Environmental Department position has been added to the staff
structure. This position must be funded.
Council noted that at a previous work session, a $250,000 problem was noted. Staff
explained that this item would be the payment on bonds if Council elects to fund the civic
complex with bond proceeds.
Council Member Bergeson noted that the Lakes Addition street reconstruction projected
was approved by the voters. This item has to be funded. Staff explained that the City will
bond for this project. There will be some funding through assessments to the property
owners as well as some funding by the City's Area and Unit fund and the Surface Water
Management fund. Staff explained that the Lakes Addition street project is expected to

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 18, 1997
begin in July and staff will prepare to bond the project in September. The first payment
on this bond will be due in 1999.
Council Member Bergeson noted that the Early Childhood Center is proposed to be
funded internally. He noted funding will be needed in 1998 for the new City Hall if it is
also constructed.
Staff was directed to prepare some scenarios addressing the questions and comments
made by the Council this evening. This information will be given to the Council as soon
as possible and another budget work session will be scheduled before the Truth in
Taxation public hearing in December.
Staff noted that property owners in the Centennial School District will see a reduction of
their property taxes due to an education homestead credit. This credit will not affect the
City portion of the property taxes.

Mr. Schumacher proposed that storage be located in the Early Childhood Center and the
three (3) central systems for operation of the three (3) buildings be located in the

Council Member Neal explained that he was still in favor of building the new Police
Department building next to the Centennial Fire District building. He also is in favor of
waiting two (2) before constructing the building. He suggested that the Early Childhood
Center be constructed now and the current City Hall be remodeled.
Council Member Lyden was unable to attend the meeting this evening. However, he did
contact City Hall and asked that the following comments be given to the Council:
- The existing Police Department building not be sold until a satisfactory Police
Department plan has been approved for construction in the Town Center
- Supportive of the plan presented by the Chief of Police (21,388 square feet)
If funds for all three (3) buildings are not there, City Hall will have to wait.

resolved.
Staff was asked if the Early Childhood Center has been approved by the Centennial
School District. If the School District decides to locate the Early Childhood Center
somewhere else, there will be no space for expansion.
Council Member Bergeson suggested that the City Hall and the Police Department
building should be equal in terms of square footage.
Mayor Landers felt that both buildings be close in size. He asked if it appeared likely that
there would be a tax increase in two (2) or three (3) years because of these buildings? Mr.
Schumacher said no because some of the tax increment districts will be running out
causing an increase in tax revenues.

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 18, 1997
Council Member Bergeson noted that the payments on the bonds for these buildings
would be approximately $87,000 for every million dollars that are bonded. He noted that
this is not in the budget. Staff explained that the payment would be approximately
$250,000 which would be added to the bonded debt payment in the tax levy.
Staff proposed the following budget for the new civic buildings:
- Centennial Early Childhood Center $1,200,000
- City Hall and Police Department buildings $5,800,000 (divided equally)
Staff was asked if this would include furnishings? Staff explained that this will not be
know until the design is further along.
Council asked if other cities are constructing jails? Chief Pecchia explained that jails are
very expensive to build and staff.
Council Member Bergeson suggested that the budget include $6,000,000 for the City Hall
and the Police Department building. The space should be approxima - ame for
each building. He also suggested that the garages be a part oft ment

DISCUSSION OF WENZEL FARMS TOWNHOME
TRAIL EASEMENTS, DAVE AHRENS
Mr. Ahrens presented the background on thi - is requesting that the
Wenzel Townhomes Association deed to th asements on the west edge and a
portion of the south edge of the su. s �� . ' would bring pedestrian traffic to
Ivy Ridge Lane, which is a privat'�' n M "' subdivision. The City is also
requesting easements over b a ee `'allow pedestrian traffic exit the townhome
subdivision.
Mrs. Shirley Patte .res -'ng the Wenzel Farms Townhomes Association
explained iation is concerned about public use of their private streets as
trails. The t concern is the liability issue. Mrs. Patterson presented three (3)
options for i� " 4`o i1 to consider. The Association would like to see Ivy Ridge Lane
P vY g
become a ci °e treet thereby relieving the Association of any liability.
Mr. Ahrens was not in favor of Ivy Ridge Lane becoming a city street because it would
set precedence. His basic concern in this subdivision is that the townhomes are set to
close to the street and the street does not meet the specifications for a City street.
After further discussion, it was decided that further information was needed. Staff was
directed to have the City Attorney determine what the City owns and provide written
options for settlement of this problem. Staff was also directed to obtain the Park Board
response as to exactly where the trails should be located, and have Mr. Ahrens and Mr.
DeGardner determine what is needed for the south boundary trail. Staff was further
directed to give the City Attorneys response to Mrs. Patterson so that she can discuss the
matter with the Townhome Association board.
COUNCIL WORK SESSION APRIL 8, 1998
This matter will be placed on the next work session agenda.
DISCUSSION OF SAC CHARGES REFUNDS, PETE KLUEGEL
Mayor Sullivan outlined the history on this matter. Mr. Ahrens presented a map showing
areas where SAC was refunded to the City. The map also outlined the areas where
sanitary sewer is proposed in the near future.
Three (3) options were presented:
1. City keeps all of the SAC that was refunded from Metropolitan Council
2. City refund the SAC to only the original owners of the property if the original
owner is still the owner
3. City refund the SAC to the current property owners if sanitary sewer is not
expected within the next 10 years
Council gave their opinions as follows:

Mayor Sullivan - Send letters to all 800 landowners on the list and tell them that they
have two (2) options. If they want the refund they will also get some interest since 1991.
She also asked that staff get the City Attorneys opinion on this matter.
After considerable discussion, staff was directed to determine a reasonable rate of interest
to be paid on the SAC, obtain the City Attorneys opinion on the legality of the issue and
prepare a process to notify residents about the SAC refund.
YMCA (Y) UPDATE, BRIAN WESSEL/MARY ALICE DIVINE
The Y Committee met and discussed the commitment of the City to the Y project it was
noted that the Council had authorized staff to talk to the Y about providing the land only.
The Y had said that they needed additional commitments from the City to make this a

viable project. This site is not their first choice for a new Y but they will build here if the
City contributes to the project. At this time, the Y is seriously looking at whether or not it
is feasible to do a fund raising project for this particular Y. The Y Executive Committee
has expressed concern because there will be a limited chance to do fund raising.
Staff was asked to explain what the Y brings to the Town Center and the community.
Staff responded it would be a gathering place, the area would be recognized by the fact
that the Y is there, it would be an amenity for the people who will live in that area and it
would be a drawing point to get people to come to the Village. The City would have a
recreation facility without the maintenance and management problems.
Payment for the City portion of the Y would be through a lease /purchase bond, which
would be scheduled for 1999.
Council Member Lyden said that he is against the financing that is pr a e felt that

Council Me ' I . noted that sometimes an area is over flooded. What happens if the
Y fails? Staf plained that the Y is a non - profit organization and is very careful about
going into competition with each other or other community centers. This particular Y
could be partially owned by the City and the contract would outline how the City will be
protected. A market study has already been completed and it shows the need for a
community center in this area. In addition, Fairview Clinic and the Centennial School
District are both interested in becoming a partner in this Y.
Council Member Dahl said that she agreed with Council Member Lyden.
Mayor Sullivan explained that the 20/20 Vision project and the Quality of Life Survey
strongly indicated that the residents want a community center. She suggested that the City
support the Y if they could raise a particular level of financing.
COUNCIL WORK SESSION APRIL 8, 1998
Council Member Bergeson felt that fund raising was over simplified. There are only
certain types of people and certain foundations that give large sums of money. It will be
difficult to do fund raising for this Y because the City does not have corporate
foundations that give large amounts of money.
Staff was asked to determine how much funding could be realized from the School
District and the Fairview Clinic and to bring this information to the next work session.
Mr. Wessel and Ms. Divine are meeting with the School District Superintendent on
Monday. Scott Goyer from the Y will attend the next work session.
CIVIC COMPLEX UPDATE, BRIAN WESSEL

The method of funding suggested above would finance the civic complex through tax

Centennial School District. Mr. Shannon did warn that this aggressive method of
financing the projects mentioned would seriously limit future bonding until the year
2010.
Three (3) options for funding the above mentioned projects were discussed as well as
funding for the athletic complex. There was also a discussion regarding the use and

that would be part of the Y and the possibility of moving the Senior Center to the Y.
•
The consensus of the Council was to pursue financing Option No. 2. The civic buildings
would be financed by lease revenue bonds and if suitable land for an athletic complex
were found, the Area and Unit Fund would loan the Park Department funds for the
purchase of the land. This method of financing would keep cash reserves for the purchase
of unforeseen expenses.
DISCUSSION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ADVISORY

WESSEL
The EDAAB is a volunteer advisory board, which operates informall e three (3)
positions open for appointment. The positions are currently held t . Re ; in,
Roger Jensen and John Milbauer. Mr. Wessel recommended e •e'p of the

DISCUSSI �' � INT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF
CENTERVIVLE REGARDING 21ST AVENUE, DAVE AHRENS
Staff explained that a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was drafted by the City of
Centerville to address the reconstruction of 21st Avenue, which is a boundary street
between the City of Centerville and the City of Lino Lakes. The Clearwater Creek
convenience center is under construction on the Lino Lakes side of the street and will
need access to the street. The street is currently a dirt road and must be improved before
the convenience center can officially open.
The City of Lino Lakes and the City of Centerville have been discussing a joint
improvement project to upgrade 21st Avenue. A MOU is needed so that each City will be
aware of the construction standards and what is the responsibility of each City. Chief
Pecchia described the contents of the MOU which not only includes the language to
address 21st Avenue south of Main Street but includes provisions for the extension of 21
PAGE 5
COUNCIL WORK SESSION APRIL 8, 1998
Avenue north of Main Street and for an water system interconnect between the two (2)
cities.
The Centerville City Council is considering this MOU at their meeting this evening.
The consensus of the Council is that they are not interested in extending 21st Avenue
north of Main Street at this time and the water system interconnect project should be
considered in a separate agreement at a later date.
There was discussion regarding whether the City of Centerville would withhold
agreement on the southern section of 21st Avenue until the City of Lino Lakes agreed to
the other two (2) MOU provisions. It was determined that if this happened, Lino Lakes
would go forward and construct the portion of 21st Avenue on the Lino Lakes side of the
border immediately.
Staff will contact the City of Centerville in the morning to determine �� > >. enterville

Mr. Smyser felt t cres of MUSA for new residential in the period of 1999 to

curb cuts can be smaller depending on the wishes of the homeowner or the space
available. All setback requirements have been met in this new plan.
Mr. Steve Arndorfer, developer for the project, stated the initial reaction to shared
driveways was negative. The biggest issue is snowplowing. However, with a
development this small it should not be a problem. A homeowners association could be
created if necessary, however, he preferred that it not be mandatory.
There will be an easement around the ponds to protect them. The City Attorney has
indicated every easement is different and there is no set form for creating easement
restrictions. Staff is recommending the following easement restrictions: no cutting of the
grass, no buildings, all natural vegetation must be left in place, and a list of acceptable
plantings be prepared. City staff should visit the site yearly to insure compliance with the
easement restrictions.
Council asked the following items be reviewed before Council action on the plan:
driveway width should be between 20' and 24', garage placement, a draft of the easement
description, and a requirement that the disclosure agreement must b every time
the property is sold.

the legality of the lease and if a penalty clause can be added. She will then investigate the
City's options for a penalty clause.

DISCUSS DESIGNATION OF EXCESS 1998 REVENUE, LINDA WAITE SMITH
Staff distributed a memo regarding the revised excess revenue requests from staff. The
amount of the excess revenue has been decreased due to a $100,000 commitment made to

COMP PLAN UPDATE AND GIS ANALYSIS OF MUSA, JEFF SMYSER
A memorandum dated June 4, 1999 from Mr. Alan Brixius, Consulting Planner,
addressing the Developable Land GIS Analysis was previously delivered to the Council.
This memorandum explained how the original MUSA reserve was determined. Since that
time, it has been determined that some of the data used to calculate the MUSA reserve
was no longer accurate because of land use changes proposed by the draft Comprehensive
Plan. Mr. Brixius has recalculated the MUSA reserve using the current data. The result is
a difference of only three (3) acres for residential MUSA and 85 acres for the
commercial/industrial MUSA when compared to the data presented at the May 4`'' work
session.
COUNCIL WORK SESSION JUNE 9, 1999
Hydric soils and wetlands were identified by using a combination of several sources'
commonly used for long -range planning purposes. Discussion followed regarding how
much of the hydric soils should be included in the MUSA. The process used to determine
the amount of hydric soils to be included in the MUSA is standard practice and staff
recommended that Council accept Mr. Brixius' analysis.
Council Member Lyden suggested that 50% of the identified hydric soils be added to the
MUSA now as buildable soils. This would increase the buildable MUSA numbers now
but decrease the buildable MUSA numbers needed for 2010 and 2020. Council Member
Bergeson felt that the Council should not be dictating what % to use because it is an
engineering issue.
Staff was directed to work with Mr. Brixius to determine how much of the hydric soils
can be built on. This information will be available at the next work session.

Staff noted that the development agreement going before Council on Monday evening is
for the 1st phase of Clearwater Creek, 3rd. This encompasses approximately one -half of
the entire subdivision. Staff was directed to include the entire subdivision when
developing a plan to return some areas to its original natural state.
The tree replacement plan was briefly discussed. Staff noted that a tree preservation plan
is standard in all development agreements. This is also the developers responsibility.
This matter is on the June 14th Council agenda.

DISCUSS WEST BALD EAGLE BOULEVARD SANITARY SEWER REQUEST,
• JOHN POWELL
•
Mr. Powell distributed copies of a letter he received from several residents living near the
north end of Bald Eagle Lake. The letter states that the City of Hugo is in the process of
extending sanitary sewer west on 129th Street in Hugo. The sewer line will end
approximately 300 - 400 feet from West Bald Eagle Boulevard in Lino Lakes. The
residents are requesting that Lino Lakes enter into an agreement with Hugo to extend the
utility into Lino Lakes so that they can connect to the service.
Mr. Powell has briefly looked at the request and feels that such a project would be cost
prohibitive.
Council discussed the matter with the residents who were present. One resident has to
update their septic system because they have added more bedrooms to their home. This
resident felt that since the utility was near, water quality in Bald Eagle Lake would be
improved if all the residents connected to sanitary sewer.
Mr. Powell outlined the petitioning process as required by t .. C and State
Statutes. Council asked the residents to prepare a formal ti : tain signatures
form 51% of the people living in the area to be sery e • ed sewer utility.
Following a neighborhood meeting, if there sti -r proceeding with the project,
staff will bring the matter back to the Council "+ eview.

concerning their req t for a permit to build a fence on the rear line of a 30 foot
easement in their backyard. The Becken's request was denied because the City has a
drainage pipe underground within the easement and City personnel must be able to access
this pipe in the event of an emergency.
Council discussed this matter with Ms. Becken and Mr. Powell. Council Members will
look at the Becken's lot and the neighborhood and discuss this matter prior to the June
14th Council meeting. This matter will be added to the agenda if the Council is prepared
to make a decision.
DISCUSS BMX TRACK, CAROLINE DAHL
An indoor BMX track is being operated at 490 Pine Street. Ms. Connie Baumann, a
neighbor immediately adjacent to the track has voiced concerns about this operation
COUNCIL WORK SESSION JUNE 9, 1999
several times. She was in attendance and requested Council take action to reduce the
noise from the operation of the track.
The BMX track has a conditional use permit (CUP). Staff has investigated the facility to
make sure that it is operating within the limits of the CUP. The problem is that the
Baumann's stopped calling the Police Department every time they felt a violation was
occurring. The Police Department must come and write a report otherwise it appears that
there have been no complaints. Ms. Baumann explained that she stopped calling the
Police Department.
Ms. Baumann noted that recently a loud bobcat type machine has been running steady
from about 3:00 p.m. to about 9:30 p.m. outside of the arena every day. The noise has
made it impossible to use her backyard. In addition, the noisy gate that was to be replaced
is still making loud noises.
Staff explained that since the bobcat is not a construction machine, the olicy regarding
the operation of construction equipment does not apply.

AMERICAN LEGION LAND PURCHASE UPDATE, BRIAN WESSEL
A land appraisal for the four (4) lots owned by the City along Lake Drive was presented
to Council at the May 19, 1999 work session. The Blaine Legion Club has an option to
buy the lot and building formerly used by the Police Department. This lot was appraised
at $82,500 without assessments. Council was asked to determine the sale price of the lot
and building.
PAGE 4

COUNCIL WORK SESSION JUNE 9, 1999
Council reviewed the appraisal and requested that the Legion Club prepare a list of all of
their costs to date associated with their attempt to relocate in Lino Lakes. The purpose of
this request was to aid the Council in determining the sale price.
Mr. Bob Moser, representing the Legion Club presented the following figures:
Storage fees (6/97 through 7/99) $12,400
Moving fees $ 1,500
Insurance on stored possessions $ 1,100
Attorney fees $ 2,000
Cost of drafting plan for site on Lilac Street $ 1,900

After discussion re T, t cost of the removal of the current building, the need to
protect the taxpaye . e desire to negotiate some of the issues, Council determined
that any rationale fo iscounting the price of the land would need a legal opinion.
Council directed the following actions:
- Mr. Wessel will contact the City Attorney to determine the legal ramifications of
discounting the sale price of this lot.
- Determine if the project qualified for redevelopment funding or TIF, what would the
City give as an incentive.
- If the Council negotiates on this parcel, what does this mean to the other parcels. The
Council does not want to sell the other lots at a discounted price.
• - Mr. Moser will determine how must money the Legion has donated to the City and its
COUNCIL WORK SESSION JUNE 9, 1999
residents in the past.
Council Members will determine the sale price of the lot based on the response to the
questions just listed.
This matter will be on the June 23rd work session agenda.
RESHANAU TRAIL DISCUSSION, RICK DEGARDNER
This matter was discussed at a joint City Council and Reshanau Lake Homeowners
Association meeting on March 2, 1999. Since that time, flyers were sent to the entire area
asking for comments regarding the current location of the trail around the north end of
Reshanau Lake and the proposed Mallard Lane trail. About 60% of those responding to
the flyer indicated that they would be supportive of the Mallard Lane trail and not
supportive of the condemnation of an easement for the current trail. Letters were also
received from residents outside of this neighborhood.
Condemnation of an easement could cost well over $100,000 . t d Lane trail
will cost about $52,000 if a matching grant is obtained. Th- 1 :. • all is
expensive because a boardwalk would be needed to lesse h: z p.• • the wetlands. If
the City is ready to construct the Mallard Lane trail e ° that the County is
ready for their trail construction projects, the bi trail construction with the
County. That would result in a 10% - 20% sa : 3 gs f • he ity. The County is expected to
start their trail construction program to - •ring.
Mr. Palcher, one of the prope

with Mr. DeGardner an
Palcher felt the lo
direct all traffic to
s ace' t to the current trail, noted that the trail is
so o his neighbor's property. He has been working
operative in working out an alternate plan. Mr.
handle this matter is to construct the Mallard Lane trail and
1 when it is completed.
Mr. Palcher was toldRhat some people would continue to use the current trail. Mr. Palcher
would object if large numbers of people keep using the current trail.
Funding for the Mallard Lane trail is still unresolved. The City has applied for a matching
grant, which means that the City still must fund approximately $52,000 for construction
costs. The City will know if the grant has been award within the next 30 days. At this
time, Council has not determined the use of the $27,444 unreserved fund balance. This
money could be used to fund a portion of the City costs.
Planing and Zoning Board members Mr. Jamie Schaps and Ms. Donna Carlson entered
this meeting. Mayor Sullivan explained the discussion this evening.
Council Member Bergeson noted the need to purchase a $35,000 generator for the Fire
District. He was not sure the Council could designate the $27,444 unreserved fund

balance to the Mallard Lane trail construction if there was a greater need for the
generator.
Council Member Lyden had previously suggested that the $27,000 unreserved fund
balance be used for funding some equipment in Brandywood Park. He did not want this
item to be forgotten.
Mr. DeGardner explained that if it appeared that the County was going forward with trail
construction plans this fall, he would move some items in his budget to fund the balance
of the Mallard Lane trail. He wanted assurances that the money would be returned to his
budget for the year 2000.
Council committed to completion of the Mallard Lane trail to coincide with the Anoka
County trail development currently scheduled for this fall. If that occurs, the $27,000 will
come from this year's undesignated funds to ensure coordination of completion of the
trail.
If Anoka County does not complete their trails this fall, Counc

DISCUSS GAS F1 FEES, LINDA WAITE SMITH
Ms. Waite Smith ward did not attend this meeting. Mayor Sullivan explained that
the Circle Pines Gas ompany pays a franchise fee to distribute natural gas in Lino Lakes.
In 1997, the Lino Lakes City Administrator was negotiating with Minnegasco and NSP to
establish gas franchise fees. When the City Administrator left the City, the negotiations
stopped. The City Council was asked to affirm its direction to the current City
Administrator to reopen the negotiations and consider dedicating any new franchise fees
to a road reconstruction fund.
The Council discussed the basis for the franchise fee. The gas suppliers could load their
expenses against their fees. It was suggested that the City not depend on any real income
until after the legal maneuvering has ended because the City may need to pay legal
expenses related to the franchise fees. A resolution providing direction to the City
Administrator and directing that 50% of the franchise fees be placed in the road
reconstruction fund will be added to the agenda Monday evening.
COUNCIL WORK SESSION JUNE 9, 1999

then. Now the City of Lino Lakes is like Minneapolis because of all the noise. He stated car

asked the City to consider a noise ordinance similar to those in other cities.

COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 14,1999
surpassed the reserve policy requirements by $300,874. It was the consensus of the City Council
that dollars be allocated in a way as outlined in Resolution No. 99 - 35. At that time, $27,444
was listed as unreserved and undesignated.

improvements.
Council Member Bergeson noted that the Council had discussed a list of other purchases `.
including a generator, for the Lino Lakes Fire Station. He felt this was also a top priority. The
excess funds would not cover the entire cost of a generator; however, it is possible the Fire
District could find the additional dollars.
Council Member Lyden moved to adopt Resolution No. 99 - 46, as presented. Council Member
Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried with Council Member Bergeson voting no.

Staff referred to the d 'elopment contract, which was included in the Council packets. Starting
with the "boilerplate" contract, staff made changes to include the conditions of approval and
items in the draft OSMP. The changes are highlighted in boldface type. The OSMP was also
included in Council packets.
Mayor Sullivan asked that a copy of the OSMP be given to the Environmental Board. She
expressed concern because taxpayers may be paying for some of the costs of the OSMP for
Clearwater Creek, ri addition. She suggested that staff "shadow" what other cities are doing and
also noted the DNR has an excellent program for working out development OSMP's.

a list of consultants who can prepare the OSMP. The program would be given to each developer
for the developer to implement.

permit the health officers and representatives of the police and fire departments to inspect
and examine the place of business described in the application, together with all
appliances, instruments or equipment used or to be used in the conduct of the business for

CONSIDER APPROVING SIGNAGE REQUEST FROM KATHY HANSMANN,
LINDA WAITE SMITH
Ms. Kathy Hansmann has requested a permit for a monument sign for her development,
the Fast Break Market located on the west side of Lake Drive north of the I- 35W/Lake
Drive intersection. Because two (2) large trees on her site were saved and are integrated
into the landscape, a taller sign is needed so that it will not be blocked by the trees.
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION JUNE 23, 1999
Normally the Town Center Committee reviews all sign permit applications proposed for
the town Center. Since Ms. Hansmann has asked Council to consider her permit
application before the Town Center Committee can review it, staff indicated that they
could make a recommendation directly to Council.
Ms. Hansmann asked that the Council and not the Town Center Committee consider her
request. She explained that she needs the sign to be in place for the opening of her
business at the end of July. If she waits for both the Town Center Committee and the City
Council to formally meet to give approvals, it will be too late to order and install the sign.
After discussing this matter, Council agreed to place this matter on the June 28th Council
agenda.
Mayor Sullivan called for a short recess.
The meeting was reconvened at 6:35 p.m.

relocating.
Council Member's Lyden, Dahl, and Neal were in support of the Legion's offer for the

Farms - The City currently owns an 8.6 acre parcel of land in the Behm's Century Farm Development. With
over 175 new homes in the Behm's Century Farm Development, there is a desire and a need to provide a
neighborhood park to serve area residents.
Mr. Uhde and staff have met on numerous occasions to determine how this park RSA • eveloped. Staff
recommendation is to sell approximately 2.25 acres of parkland in exchange . e t op:nt of the remaining
parkland. This agreement includes clearing and grubbing, grading, four ` ; ......c.. o• +il import, seeding,
and construction of trails including engineering, four (4) inch sub e• t es of bituminous

Development.
This proposal is directly linked to the future development of the Molitor property to the north. Mr. Uhde and
City staff have made a commitment for a park area that will be more of a destination park. Without any
significant revenue sources in the near future to develop neighborhood parks, staff is in support of this proposal.
Staff indicated the developer does understand that the City is selling the property without making any
commitment to approving any zoning changes or development proposals. The City Attorney emphasized the
purchase agreement does not bind the City to anything.
Council Member Lyden moved to approve a Purchase Agreement selling approximately 2.25 acres of parkland
in exchange for development of the remaining park area as outlined in Ordinance No. 16 - 99. Council Member
Bergeson seconded the motion.

Oasis Market/Amoco, 7509 Lake Drive, Amended Conditional Use Permit, Mary Kay Wyland - Twin
Cities Stores Inc., DBA Oasis Markets is the current owner of the property and is requesting this Amended
Conditional Use Permit to allow two (2) additional gas pumps to be located on the Lake Drive side of the
building. These gas pumps were shown as "future pumps" on the originally approved site plan.
Staff has reviewed the request and recommends approval of the additional pumps. There appears to be adequate
maneuvering space in this location and no parking will be displaced. Staff does, however, have some other
concerns that need to be addressed which include truck parking, lighting, and drainage.
The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on June 9, 1999. After considerable discussion, they
recommended approval of this Amended Conditional Use Permit with conditions.
Buffering on the south boundary of the property was discussed. Several trees between this business and the
residence to the south were lost in the storms last year. This particular area also includes an easement and the
City has constructed utility service on the easement. A future roadway may also be constructed between the
property and the residential property to the south. There may not be room for additional buffering.
Mr. and Mrs. Skoglund, 7481 Lake Drive, property owners on the south bou operty came forward
and presented their concerns.
Council directed staff to determine which trees need to be cl
by the property owner. Staff will contact the Skoglund' r
indicated he would contact the owner of the prope
connections in that area. There are require
ity which trees need to be cleared

at U.S. West has been making new
the area.
Staff advised that Amoco would be ' ields over the lights to reduce the glare from the lights.
Mr. John Paron, representativ., ` < sis Market, stated he fully understands he cannot activate the new
pumps until all conditions are e., apologized to Mr. and Mrs. Skoglund for any problems the property has
created. He asked Council to r %iew the request in 30 days when all conditions have been met. He stated he
would meet with the neighbors after the shields are installed to make sure they are acceptable.
Council Member Lyden moved to table the Amended Conditional Use Permit for 30 days until the following
conditions are met:
1. Proper permits are obtained from all affected agencies.
2. Overnight parking of any vehicles is prohibited and truck/trailer parking is limited to two (2) hour
maximum. A sign shall be posted on the rear parking lot and within the building indicating such. "No

Consider Approving Signage Request from Kathy Hansmann, Brian Wessel - Jeff and Kathy Hansmann
are the owners of Fast Break Comer Market, which is under construction at the southwest corner of Lake Drive
and Apollo Drive in the Town Center area. The Hansmann's want to install a 25 -foot high monument style sign
on one corner of their building site. Current City ordinances allow such a sign. However, projects in the Town
Center area are usually approved by the City Council upon the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Board with the condition that design issues are reviewed by a staff /citizen group known as the Town Center
Committee.
The Hansmann's signage request was approved by the City Council in August 1997, but has not been
considered by the Town Center Committee. It has been reviewed by staff and consultants who indicate that a
25 -foot high sign is too high and that a 14 -foot high sign would be more appropriate.
The Hansmann's are requesting that City Council approve their request without r
Center Committee. Staff recommends that the request be referred to the To
and recommendation before the City Council takes action.

Consideration of American Legion Land Purchase, Resolution No. 99 — 48, Brian Wessel - The Blaine
American Legion has an option to buy the site where the former police building is located. At the Council work
session on June 23, 1999, representatives of the Legion Club and the City Council agreed to a purchase price of
•60000 plus assessments for the one -acre lot.

COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 28, 1999
Staff was directed to prepare a resolution outlining why the City agreed to a sales price that is less than the
appraised value of the land. Staff was also directed to prepare an ordinance authorizing the sale. The ordinance
will be brought to the July 12, 1999, Council meeting.
Council Member Neal suggested that the selling price be $40,000 in recognition of the time and money the
Legion Club has expanded in its effort to relocate in Lino Lakes.
Mayor Sullivan called for a 10- minute break.
Council Member Lyden moved to adopt Resolution No. 99 - 48, directing staff to prepare an ordinance
authorizing the sale of a one -acre parcel of City owned property to the Blaine American Legion for $50,000.
Council Member Neal seconded the motion.
Council Member Lyden explained a selling price of $50,000 is a compromise between Council Members.
Mayor Sullivan stated she could not support an additional $10,000 discount because the property is to be sold by
the City to pay off other property debts within the Town Center. An additional discount cannot be justified to
the taxpayers because this piece of land is valuable commercial property.
Council Member Bergeson asked for assurances that the building actua e proposal that was
shown to the Council at an earlier meeting. He stated he is not in f �. ±r • an d- discount. The Legion
Club has agreed to a selling price of $60,000. He explained • e ng price is not an indication of

During the last work session, the location of the roadway was discussed. That discussion
lead to an inquiry by Mr. Roy Stanley, a resident on 77th Street, about connecting to the
city utility services which are available at the intersection of Lake Drive and 77th Street.
The estimated cost to extend the services to Mr. Stanley's property is $55,000.
Approximately $5,000 of this cost would be for service stubs that would service other
benefited properties. The cost to service Mr. Stanley's two (2) properties would be
approximately $50,000.
From a utility extension standpoint, extending services to Mr. Stanley's property would
make additional future connection in this area more realistic and from a planning
standpoint, the extension of the water utility would aid in a future water service loop
connection.
Staff also considered where the utilities could be constructed to minimize the impact to

of the right -of -way making it necessary to disturb the roadway surf

INDIVIDUAL SE GE TREATMENT SYSTEM (ISTS) ORDINANCE, JOHN
POWELL
Last February Mr. Powell advised the City Council that the ISTS Ordinance would have
to be updated to reflect recent changes required by law. Council was asked to provide
direction regarding four (4) specific items:
1. Increase holding tank size. Mr. Powell recommended the increase be consistent
with the Anoka County requirements.
2. Allowing homeowners to work on their own septic systems. Mr. Powell
recommended that homeowners not be allowed to work on their own systems.
3. Allowing experimental septic systems or warrantee systems.
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION JULY 7, 1999
4. Point of sale inspection. Mr. Powell stated he would like full disclosure on the
septic system when the property is sold.
Several Council Members indicated concern about item No. 2 and noted that the City
does have inspectors to make sure the work is properly done.
Mr. Powell indicated he would research state laws regarding homeowners working on
their own homes.
Council directed staff to draft an ordinance for review at the next Council work session.

ERVICE, JOHN POWELL
Mr. Powell distribute a letter the City received from Pratt, Oakwood, Arnt, LLC. The
letter is a request for water service to a new subdivision, Wenzel Farm, which is to be
developed in the City of Hugo adjacent to the eastern boundary of Lino Lakes and Hugo.
The developer would pay the entire cost of extending the water service to that area and
the cost of the service to each property owner would typically be 10% more than the
normal rate for Lino Lakes residents.
The system in that area could support the additional services. The benefits to the City
include the water in the lines would not sit for long periods of time during the winter, a
portion of the cost to extend the main lines would be paid for by that developer, the City
would have an emergency connection, the service would provide an additional source of
revenue, and an increase in operability of the system in that area would occur. The timing
and the phasing of the project are good.

COMP PLAN UPDATE, JEFF SMYSER/AL BRIXIUS
Mr. Smyser distributed a memo from Mr. Brixius regarding MUSA requirements that
would be included in the proposed Comprehensive Plan.
At the last work session, staff discussed how MUSA could be reduced from 890 acres to
504 acres. Mr. Brixius was asked to reevaluate the issues related to the MUSA, wetlands,
and hydric soils. He distributed a map showing the wetlands, hydric soils and developable
land in the City. He also distributed a comparison of actual wetland delineation to the
National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps. A map overlay of wetlands and hydric soils
onto agricultural/undeveloped land intersected with proposed land use was also reviewed.
Staff indicated that the goal, if the Council thinks it's appropriate,. is to take these results
and plug them into the last MUSA analysis proposal to determine t • ° nt of MUSA
to be requested.
Staff noted that they are not inferring that any land is un = veloper must

Mr. Gordy Johnson, UDOR USA, came forward and stated he was given the impression an 8,200

DISCUSS FUTURE DIRECTION OF CAG, JEFF RE
Mr. Jeff Reinert, Chair of the Citizens Advisory e -- ' e group has had
two (2) meetings in the past year with no dire • n o . • oa ursue. The group is down
to four (4) members. The Council ref- • tter •m CAG regarding
accomplishments, goals, and con Chair recognized a need for the
group to identify with the citi : • . h ity. r. Reinert requested direction from the
Council regarding the r h "' the possibility of conducting a citizen survey.
Council reiterate th ssion of the Citizens Advisory Group was set by resolution
and is to provide t o the implementation of the 20/20 Vision that was developed
in 1995. In the pa this oversight was accomplished through annual reports of progress
and identification of action items contained within the report that had not been addressed
for the past 3 years. The reports have indicated that the City is on track with
implementation of the Vision. Last year's report also supported the Comprehensive Plan
as being in line with the Vision.
There was some discussion about whether CAG has fulfilled its mission and could be
disbanded. Mr. Reinert's opinion was that there is still a valid role for CAG and that role
is to stay in touch with citizens. A survey would be a way to do that.
Council Members agreed that a survey related to implementation of the 20/20 vision
might be helpful. Noting that CAG currently has no budget, the Council suggested that
money be allocated in the budget for CAG's use in surveying and other activities.
The City Administrator suggested that she meet with Mr. Reinert to discuss the focus of
the survey and the availability of staff assistance in designing the survey. Mr. Reinert
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION AUGUST 18, 1999
indicated that discussion of the survey would be on the next CAG meeting agenda and the

Revenue Projecti
The State Legislature has extended levy limits for another year and has informed the City
of the maximum amount of revenue that can be collected in taxes.
The former City Financial Analyst recommended that the City commit $250,000 of the
1998 Excess Revenue for payment of an expected TIF penalty in the year 2000. The
money was put in the General Fund and staff is recommending that the $250,000 in the
General Fund be reallocated to pay for General Fund expenditures in the year 2000 and
that the TIF penalty be provided for outside the General Fund levy.
Staff is assuming that the building permit revenues will decrease to 1998 pre -storm
levels, is recommending a three (3) year schedule of utility rates be prepared before the
end of this year and has not factored in potential revenues from additional gas franchises.

COUNCIL BUDGET SESSION AUGUST 24, 1999
Council Member Lyden commented that he did not feel the need to review all of the
budget requests as long as the budget was within constraints.
Expenditure Proposals
Street Department, Rick DeGardner
Salaries - No additional personnel, salaries are based on the union contract.
Supplies - Increase is due to grading and laying gravel on Pine Street (This is a
boundary street that is maintained by both the City of Lino Lakes and
Columbus Township).
Auto Insurance - Although there will not be any additions to the fleet, auto insurance
rates have increased substantially.
Capital Outlay - Street sweeper, set aside ($60,000 as 1/2 payment on street sweeper,
balance to be funded in 2001), blacktop roller and trailer (staff is
proposing that these items be purchased with Certificates of
Indebtedness).
Staff suggested that Council may want to consider funding on o' t of the
street sweeper from the Surface Water Management Fund re eper will
either be sold or placed on the Hennepin County auc ined uses for the
street sweeper noting that it is an important pie - r _y ° int ce equipment.
Staff considered leasing a street swe g some street maintenance and
repair projects. After careful co ' .. f i ` ecommending that the City continue
the same program of stree e d r pair. Leasing would be more expensive
than purchasing and if a •= racts services, the City would have to wait until the

Fleet, Rick DeG
Salaries - No additional personnel, salaries based on union contract
Overtime Salaries - Staff is proposing a substantial increase in overtime salaries for the
mechanic rather than hire a second mechanic.
Professional Services - Cover cost of sending transmissions and other specialized repair
Services out to professional mechanics. The vehicle fleet is aging
requiring additional service.
Capital Outlay - Freestanding hoist for the shop.
Staff has considered contracting mechanical services. Research has indicated that it
would not be in the best interest of the City.
PAGE 2
COUNCIL BUDGET SESSION AUGUST 24, 1999
• Government Buildings, Rick DeGardner
Salaries - This is a new budget item. The City recently hired a building maintenance
technician to maintain the buildings at the new civic complex.
Maintenance Supplies - The substantial increase is due to the addition of the civic
complex buildings.
Small Tools - Certain tools are needed to maintain the new buildings. The maintenance
technician has been supplying his own tools. Staff is proposing that the
City supply the tools needed in the performance of this position.
Contracted Services - Janitorial service for the Public Works /Senior building and the Fire
Station. Remodeling and repair of the Public Works /Senior
building
Capital Outlay - A new repeater system for the two -way radios is needed for better
communications with vehicles and personnel in the field.
Items such as maintenance supplies, professional services, telephones, insurance, utilities
has increased because of the new civic complex. The large increase in tel hone service
includes maintenance of the new system.

Parks Department, Rick DeG
Salaries and Overtime - ' additional personnel, salaries based on union
tract and City Pay plan.
Temporary Empl - porary employees include personnel for various
epartments including civic complex maintenance,
Environmental Department, parks and trails. This includes an
increase so that the City can compete for quality personnel.
Maintenance Supplies - This items includes materials needed for maintenance of the
parks and trails as well as trees and shrubs for boulevards and
parks. Staff noted that boulevard trees in new subdivisions are
funded by the developer.
Small Tools - Staff is proposing to purchase basic tools to be located in each maintenance
vehicle of the full -time personnel to eliminate the need to run back to the
shop for tools. Staff indicated a tracking system is in place.
Capital Outlay - Pickup Truck and plow, rake attachments for skidster or tractor,
utility trailer and mower.
Staff noted that new bleachers that meet all safety guidelines are on order and will be in
• place before spring activities begin.
COUNCIL BUDGET SESSION AUGUST 24, 1999
Anoka County will not be constructing any new trails in the Regional Park this year. This
will delay the plan to install the new trail on Mallard Lane into the Regional Park. In
addition, the City has been informed that the DNR grant that would have helped fund the
Mallard Lane trail cannot be used for that purpose.
Council discussed the need to review the funding for the Mallard Lane trail. Council also
directed staff to prepare a timeline for the trail and let residents in that area know what is
happening.
Council Member Lyden asked that Council discuss the entire trail funding system. He is
interested in dedicating additional funding for trails. He also indicated that he would
agree to keep the tax capacity rate at the same level as last year if the Council agreed to
dedicate the additional dollars to trail funding. Staff indicated that the State Legislature
has set the maximum amount of levy for the City and the City cannot exceed that amount.
Staff could shift some purchases to the Certificates of Indebtedness and place a similar
amount in trail funding in the budget. However, the amount of dollars affected by this
process would be less than $15,000. Council decided that this amount w insignificant
and agreed to leave the budget as presented by staff.
Staff discussed a plan to reduce large ticket expenditures f

The Council took ive (5) minute break.
Sewer Utility Department, Rick DeGardner
The Sewer Department is an enterprise of the City and not covered in the General Fund
Budget. However, the City is required to prepare a budget for its operation. The budget
was prepared to reflect the actual costs of performing the service for the users of the
system.
Salaries - No added personnel. Salaries are based on the union contract. A 50 cent an hour
increase was added to seasonal salaries. Again, this was done to compete with
other employers such as McDonalds.
Maintenance Supplies - This increase reflects the growing usage of the sewer system.
Contracted Services - The City is continuing to retrofit older manholes.

(MIV' S).
Capital Outlay - Meters - City purchases water meters and sells them to builders so that
all water meters will be uniform.
Equipment - Water meter reading software.

Capital Outlay - Copier. The current copier is getting old and cannot handle the increase
usage.
Mayor and Council - Dan Tesch
Salaries - Based on resolution passed by the Council in 1997.
Insurance - This is the Errors and Omissions insurance. Council directed staff to
determine if this increase is due to the insurance claim that was filed after
the previous City Administrator left the City. The City's insurance agent has
asked if the City wants to double the Umbrella insurance to
COUNCIL BUDGET SESSION AUGUST 24, 1999
$2,000,000.
Staff was asked to determine what other cities are doing in the area of the Umbrella
insurance.
Council asked if support staff is adequately trained. Ms. Waite Smith will have each
Director prepare an explanation of how training and tuition dollars are spent.
Elections - Dan Tesch
Salaries - Additional Election Judges are being added due to the increase in the voter
population. Salaries are proposed to be increased 50 cents per hour to help
attract more Election Judges.
Office Supplies - This item is decreased because the State and County will help fund the
purchase of ballots and provide most of the advertising since it's a
national election year.
Capital Outlay - Acu -Vote computer. The 1998 excess General Fund rev ue funded

COUNCIL BUDGET SESSION AUGUST 24,1999
Finance Department - Dan Tesch
Salaries - No additional personnel. Several changes are proposed. The first change is to
reinstate the position of Finance Director and eliminate the Financial Analyst
position. The second change is to increase the Accountant position from half-
time to three quarter time.
Other Consultants - CMS
Tuition - The City is financing tuition to a Community College for a Finance
Department employee to enhance computer skills.
Contracted Services — Anoka County Assessor
Capital Outlay - Epson Printer, file cabinets, calculators, computer for Administrative
Assistant.
Council discussed funding college or technical school tuition for some employees. The
concern is that once the person finishes their training they could go to a higher paying
position in another city. Staff noted that some cities do have specific policies and/or
contracts that tie the person to the job for a specific period of time.

This budget consists entirely of the Engineering Consultant Contract. Official action on
this matter should be completed soon.
Staff discussed the long -term plan for engineering services noting that this matter should
be re- evaluated annually. Currently, engineering needs are very large and it appears
contracting those services is the prudent route. Even when it is in the best interest of the
City to hire a City Engineer, the City still will need consultants.

Truth in Taxation Public Hearing
The hearing was set for Monday, December 6, 1999, 6:30 p.m.
Other Comments
Council will set the maximum tax levy by resolution at the September 13, 1999 Council
meeting.
Mayor Sullivan expressed the need to make sure that each Director is comfortable with
IIItheir budget. She also asked that next year each Director prepare a list of training
COUNCIL BUDGET SESSION AUGUST 24, 1999
opportunities budgeted in each department. The list is to include a notation indicating
whether the training is mandatory and/or reimbursable.
Council Member Bergeson commented that the base 2000 General Fund Budget with no
increase in staffing appears to be an increase of 7% over the 1999 General Fund Budget.
Ms. Waite Smith explained that the 1999 General Fund Budget does not include the new
Civic Center maintenance person and the two (2) grant COPS. The expected rate of
growth is 4% to 4 1/2 %. The 7% increase is skewed because of mid -year hires in 1999.
Mayor Sullivan questioned the budgeted revenue from permits and licenses. Staff
explained that building permit revenue is based on 150 new homes. Staff also noted that
building permit fees should be reconsidered because the state has increased the fees.
Mayor Sullivan asked that both expenditures and revenues be shown in a pie chart. Ms.
Waite Smith indicated that information would be available for the Truth in Taxation
public hearing.

the Council and staff know what is a priority in staffing. This discussion should be held
shortly after the first of the year.
Ms. Waite Smith explained that the Five Year Financial Plan is in process. It will be
presented to Council before the first of the year. Staff is also preparing a recommendation
for the Minnegasco franchise. This will be presented at the next work session.
Council Member Dahl asked why the Charter Commission budget had been reduced.
Staff explained that they had talked to Mr. Montain, Charter Commission Chairman, who
suggested that the Commission historically has not spent its budget, but a total of $5,000
was an appropriate amount for the budget.

COUNCIL BUDGET SESSION AUGUST 24, 1999
Council Member Bergeson asked about the status of the recreation complex. Ms. Waite
Smith explained that a site has been determined (Paul Montain property) and when the
City is ready to purchase the property, Council will be asked to formally take action. The
purchase will be funded by a loan from the Area and Unit Fund. This Fund will be repaid
after a referendum has been held and the voters approve development of an athletic
complex.
Staff explained that the City Engineer is preparing a street and utilities impact study for
the area. Mr. Bernstein is discussing the proposed recreation complex with local service
organizations. Hopefully, they will determine that it is important and will financially
support the plan.
An article will appear in the next City newsletter outlining the recreation complex
acquisition process.
The Charter Commission is also looking at a referendum that would cover several years
of road reconstruction projects.

Mr. DeGardner commented that if the recreational complex is no longer "on the table ",
Council will need to determine the location of additional athletic facilities.
Council determined that the proposed tax rate is satisfactory and the general scope of the
proposed 2000 General Fund budget is reasonable.
Council asked if there were any open union contracts. Staff explained that there is,
however, a 3% increase appears to be the standard salary offer. This increase is already
reflected in the salary budget.
Council Member Bergeson asked if staff is comfortable that there were no large unfunded
potential liabilities that have not been addressed in this budget? Staff felt comfortable
with the budget.

A. Pierre and Norma Nadeau, 6644 20th Avenue, Minor Subdivision
Ms. Wyland presented the staff report and explained that Pierre and Norma Nadeau, 6644
20th Avenue, are requesting a minor subdivision to create two parcels. Tract A would be
66.97 acres in size and Tract B would be 10 acres in size and contain the existing
homestead. The property is zoned Rural and indicated as Rural in the existing

Comprehensive Plan. The "Draft" Comprehensive Plan guides this area for Low
Density/Medium Density Residential and Medium Density Residential along 35E. Ms.
Wyland advised that a trunk waterline exists on 20th Avenue.
Ms. Wyland explained the Nadeaus would like to retain their existing homestead and sell
the balance of the property for future development. She advised staff has reviewed the
request and finds the proposed subdivision meets the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance. She described the lot width requirements and requirement of Anoka County
for the dedication of additional right -of -way along 20th Avenue (County Road 54). Ms.
Wyland recommended the final survey document include this additional right -of -way and
provide a ten -acre parcel exclusive of right -of -way. Ms. Wyland stated staff recommends
approval subject to three conditions.
Pierre Nadeau, petitioner, stated he believed Tract B would be sold within three years.
With regard to the requirement for additional right -of -way, he stated that would be taken
care of during the final plat.
Acting Chair Lane explained that decision is with A a County.
Mr. Corson inquired whether Anoka County ha view ority in this regard. Ms.
Wyland stated that is correct and whenever a abuts a County Road, the County is
provided with the information for their rev'- w a commendation. In this case, Anoka
County has made this recommendation fo right -of -way.
Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to . • ;, `r 'nor subdivision for Pierre and Norma
Nadeau, 6644 20th Avenue, subje .n• = ions as follows:
1. A document is prepared 9licant dedicating the required additional right -of-
way to Anoka County for t re reconstruction of 20th Avenue (Co. Rd. 54).
2. The Survey Document indicat- a l0 -acre parcel for Tract B which is exclusive of any
road right -of -way.
3. Park Dedication is assumed collected on the existing homestead, Park Dedication on
the remaining Tract A shall be deferred until future development occurs.
and was supported by Mr. Corson. Motion carried 6 -0.
Ms. Wyland stated this will go to the Council on Monday, September 27, 1999.
B. Sue Walseth, 6408 Cassiopeia Court, Variance
Ms. Wyland presented the staff report and explained that Sue Walseth, 6408 Cassiopeia
Court, is constructing a new home on the northeast corner of Holly Drive and Cassiopeia
Court. Ms. Walseth has an above ground pool and a large dog so she is requesting a
variance to place a six foot high privacy fence in her rear yard and side lot line (Holly
Drive) to approximately the front of the house. Ms. Wyland presented the language of
•

Page 3
the Zoning Ordinance and explained the Ordinance prohibits the construction of a six foot
fence from the setback line of the adjoining home on Holly Drive and also along Holly
Drive to the front of the house. The Ordinance would allow a fence of no more than four
feet in height.
Ms. Wyland explained that in reviewing this variance request, staff reviewed the Anoka
County site /distance guidelines which, if used in considering this request, would support
the intent of the Ordinance requirement limiting the fence height to four feet. She stated
staff also considered the variance requirements and have concluded that a variance to
allow a six -foot privacy fence in this location would not meet the required Findings of
Fact.
Ms. Wyland noted the adjoining hobby farm and possible compromise to allow the
construction of a six foot high fence on the rear property line to match the existing six
foot fence on the east side of 1101 Holly Drive which was constructed to screen the
Trappers Crossing Development from 1101 Holly Drive. However, staff would not
support a six -foot fence within the County site /distance triangle.
Ms. Wyland presented pictures submitted by the a t of other fences and clarified
that in all cases, the fences depicted meet Code >d uirem .. She advised that Chair
Schaps was unable to attend tonight but did s * ° memorandum indicating his support
for staff's recommendation of denial base• •nth ionale the request does not meet the
five criteria necessary for a variance. Ch w : so indicated in his memorandum
that granting a variance would confer M`, lseth a privilege which has been denied
to other landowners similarly situa
Upon inquiry, Ms. Wyland st is above ground and does not require fencing.
Mr. Schilling asked if the reco ation within the site triangle was a four -foot high
fence. Ms. Wyland stated that wo ld be an option since it would not restrict visibility
within that location.
Ms. Carlson asked about the location of the trail. Ms. Wyland stated it was within the
right -of -way of Holly Drive and remains debatable as to which side it would be
constructed.
Acting Chair Lane stated she sees some privacy issues depending on the location of the
trail.
Sue Walseth, applicant, presented a site plan of her property and proposed fence location.
She noted the distance of that location to the traffic is 70 feet and the fence location is not
abutting the corner of the property. She stated that the intersection contains a stop sign
and a clear view would be present with a six -foot high fence. Ms. Walseth stated the
adjoining property is at an elevation of 914 feet with a large ditch. She stated her fence
would be one foot lower than the hill and she would prefer the side fence, if she had to

make a choice. Ms. Walseth noted the traffic direction and that her windows face
eastward which provides a view of traffic and vehicle lights. Thus, the request for a six -
foot privacy fence in the front yard.
Ms. Walseth stated there is only about 200 feet of straight roadway when coming from
the cul -de -sac so the speed of vehicles would not be that great when approaching this
intersection. She presented statistics she found on the Mn/DOT website regarding sight
distances and sight triangles. She presented this information with colored graphs
depicting sight triangles required for various vehicle speeds.
Ms. Walseth stated the rear elevation results in a pool location near the front, by Holly
Drive. She stated that with the vehicular and pedestrian traffic, a privacy fence is needed.
Ms. Walseth commented on the anticipated increase in traffic based on surrounding
development and stated there is a need for a buffer. She explained she purchased this
corner lot due to the lower cost and had always planned to fence along Holly Drive. Ms.
Walseth stated she was surprised when she learned of the fence restriction. She presented
colored pictures of other fences in Lino Lakes (as previously reviewed by Ms. Wyland).
Ms. Walseth stated the person buying the existing

afford. Mr. Schilling noted t an option.
Mr. Schilling asked if the ordi akes reference to elevations. Ms. Wyland stated
the ordinance does regulate plant]. gs with reference to elevations and the area that cannot
be impeded. However, that would not apply to this property.
Ms. Wyland noted the setback requirement from the pool requiring it not be located
within any required front or side yard setback. On this lot, the setback on Holly Drive is
40 feet.
Ms. Walseth stated she was not supported in her efforts to have the site graded to
eliminate the hill or to save the trees that existed.
Ms. Carlson stated she believed the trail was the main issue for invasion of privacy and
asked how far it would be from the property line. Ms. Walseth stated the trail had been
approved at the park level and would be located in the right -of -way. Ms. Wyland stated
the Building Inspector had agreed to an encroachment to allow the fence to be placed up
to the property line so a future trail may be one to two feet from the fence, if so located.

Ms. Walseth stated there are a lot of pedestrians along Holly Drive, as well as bicyclers
and joggers. She stated her garage is on the opposite side of the lot so her house is close
to the roadway. Ms. Walseth stated there is no berm or natural plantings to provide a
buffer or screening, even though she had requested it from the developer.
Mr. Corson stated the applicant has good reasons for this request but the Board needs to
be consistent with prior standing. He noted that last week someone wanted a variance he
would have liked to support. However, if granted it would weaken the ordinance. Mr.
Corson stated if the Planning & Zoning Board is supportive of this application, they
should recommend the Council amend the ordinance to make it allowable.
Ms. Walseth stated she is only trying to gain some privacy.
Acting Chair Lane asked Ms. Walseth if a variance for a six -foot fence along the east side
would help. Ms. Walseth stated she would prefer the fence along Holly Drive to buffer
the house from the traffic.
Acting Chair Lane asked if a five -foot high fence wo e:k' be acceptable. Ms. Walseth
stated it would be better than a four -foot fence but more expensive since it might
be a special order height. She advised the esti °d cos ` the fencing (as proposed) is
over $6,000 and will look nice with landscapi
Mr. Dunn stated he has empathy for this a q `d other similar requests but the
decisions was clearly made by the m r'ty e 'lanning & Zoning Board, supported by
staff and the City Council, that "v. " b' ' liminated and no longer be allowed. He
stated he finds this distressful but '. s decision made by the majority of the
Planning & Zoning Board an i a recent application.
Mr. Dunn stated that he argue ch case is unique upon itself. However, the
Council, on advice from the lawye , determined it would set a precedent and could not be
approved. Mr. Dunn stated that until the staff and Council takes a different posture, there
is not much that can be done. He again stated he believed every lot is different and
unique so he would abstain from the vote on this matter. Mr. Dunn stated he has
difficulty accepting staff's conclusion that this request "does not meet the Findings of
Fact." He stated he finds there to be a shortfall in the process for variance consideration
and believed this should be remedied. Mr. Dunn stated he does not have adequate
information to make this decision and believed there were other six -foot high fences in
Lino Lakes.
Ms. Carlson stated she does not agree with Mr. Dunn that no variances are allowed
because in order to grant a variance, five Findings of Fact are considered. With this case,
the five Findings of Fact are not met. However, there are concerns becoming more
prominent in Lino Lakes with the expansion of the trail system. She stated the trails are
wonderful for transportation of pedestrians but they do impact resident's privacy. Ms.
Planning & Zoning Board

Carlson stated there had been cul -de -sac locations where trails were not extended due to
concern with loss of property rights and privacy.
Ms. Carlson stated that she can see the ordinance needs to be changed. She noted that
while fencing for the pool is not an issue, fencing for the dog is an issue. Ms. Carlson
stated she also believed that fencing along the trails is an issue so she would abstain from
this decision.
Mr. Schilling stated he supports a compromise to allow a six -foot high fence in the back
yard and a four -foot fence in the side yard.
Acting Chair Lane made a MOTION to recommend approval of the variance request for
Sue Walseth, 6408 Cassiopeia Court, to allow a six foot high fence where allowed and
because of the trail and low lot elevation, to allow the balance of the privacy fence to be
five feet in height where it should be four feet in height.
A second to the motion was not offered. Thus, the motion failed.

Acting Chair Lane stated she concurs • th unn that not allowing any variances is
too stringent for property owners . •a-1 ed a hardship exists.
Mr. Corson cautioned about e i precedent.
Mr. Dunn stated he still maint t every lot is unique since none are the same shape
and if a variance has been found a propriate and been granted, and an exact same request
is made, then he would support granting it again.
Mr. Smyser stated that with the last variance being mentioned, staff stated unequivocally
they did not support the variance. He clarified that in his conversation with Mr. Dunn he
had indicated that if the Zoning Ordinance was to be changed it could be brought to
Council but it would not happen in the immediate future since the Comprehensive Plan is
not yet in place. He advised that staff has been told numerous times at Council work
sessions to not piecemeal ordinance changes. He stated this is the direction from the
City's elected officials so staff would not recommend a single change to a single chapter
until the Comprehensive Plan issue is resolved.
Mr. Dunn stated he did not use the word "opposed" and advised that Ms Wyland had
previously indicated to him that staff felt no urgency to deal with this issue. He clarified
he never said "opposed" and unless a lot of the ordinance is changed, the Comprehensive
Plan has no impact on what is being discussed tonight.

VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Community Athletic Complex - Rick DeGardner
Mr. Smyser presented a drawing depicting the location of the proposed athletic complex
site. He explained the City has the opportunity to acquire 60 acres for a new athletic
complex at the southeast corner of Birch Street and Centerville Road. Mr. Smyser noted
the conceptual drawing which was prepared to identify the uses that could be
accommodated (in draft concept form).
Mr. Smyser recommended the Planning & Zoning Board support the concept of the
athletic complex at the location indicated, contingent upon public discussion and more
detailed analysis being conducted in the near future.
Planning & Zoning Board
September 8, 1999

Mr. DeGardner presented a brief background report, starting with the creation of an ad
hoc committee which determined several complex sites. He explained the study for a
southern complex site was then initiated by the City Council in 1993. Mr. DeGardner
noted the five sites that were identified and the preferred site which was located on Holly
Drive and County Road J. He explained that staff was authorized to pursue property
acquisition. However, that was not accomplished so staff looked at additional sites and
based on staff's current review and findings of the ad hoc committee, the Montain
property was selected.
Mr. DeGardner noted the acreage on the northern boundary that would be retained by Mr.
Montain for a future home location and five additional acres on the southern portion that
could also be acquired. He presented the design constraints staff has addressed including
a power line and wetlands. He advised this is a concept plan that identifies the uses that
would fit into a site of this size. Prior to proceeding, additional input would be obtained
from residents and the consultant. He advised that a traffic study would also be
conducted to determine traffic impacts.
Mr. DeGardner stated a benefit of this site is the li

Mr. Corson stated his major concefn is the traffic impact and poor condition of the
roadway. He asked how restrooms would be accommodated. Mr. DeGardner stated
portable satellites would be used until utilities are available. At that point, restroom
facilities could be considered. He agreed with the impact of traffic with such an athletic
complex. He stated if the direction of the City is not to have an athletic complex, staff
would design neighborhood parks differently to accommodate additional usage.
In response to Mr. Corson, Mr. DeGardner stated staff would have to address possible
trail connections.
Mr. Johnson noted a proposed church location to the south which would also be a traffic
generator. He asked about Anoka County's long range plans for road improvements. Mr.
DeGardner stated Anoka County has indicated they would be requesting additional right -
of -way to make lane improvements. He noted these issues would be addressed in the
traffic study. Mr. DeGardner stated he is unable to anticipate a time schedule for the
development of an athletic complex but would not expect it to occur before 2003.

Mr. Johnson stated the City needs to be sensitive to what occurs within this corridor. Mr.
DeGardner concurred and noted this location is a central location but does not impact a
large established residential area.
Ms. Carlson pointed out that this plan appears to produce less traffic than the uses
proposed in the Comprehensive Plan for commercial and multiple housing. Mr.
DeGardner concurred.
Acting Chair Lane agreed that the church would generate traffic but only occasionally and
mostly during Sunday mornings. Mr. DeGardner stated they do not often program City
park activities on Sunday mornings.
Mr. Johnson stated his understanding is that the proposed church would be multi -use.
Mr. Dunn stated staff has asked the Board to indicate if they support the concept of the
athletic complex. He noted there have been multiple questions raised but conceptually he
believed this offered a wonderful opportunity for Li _ " akes since property prices would
only continue to soar. He stated his 100% suppo hase this parcel and work
towards the development of an athletic comple e sta he challenge will be if
residents are willing to pay for this complex, ey may if the mill rate is reduced.
Mr. Dunn noted there are not many other cels would be suitable for this type of
use.
Mr. Schilling stated he also suppo c plex 100% and believed there was a
need. He agreed that this is a grew rt y.
Mr. Johnson stated his conc
Acting Chair Lane stated she cann`t envision Lino Lakes without such a facility. She
stated she is thrilled this property became available and fully supports its purchase.
Mr. Corson agreed the time has come for this type of facility.
Ms. Carlson agreed and stated her appreciation to the property owner for being willing to
sell the property for this use.
Mr. Johnson made a MOTION to declare the Board's hearty endorsement for the
development of an athletic complex on the Montain property, and was supported by Ms.
Carlson. Motion carried 6 -0.
