Motion carried unanimously. Under the open mike portion, Mr. Gene Mobley presented a petition formulated by the Lino Lakes Business Association requesting the City of Lino Lakes be give a post office, or a branch office and one zip code. The orginaza- tion is asking for support from this City Council. Mayor Gourley said a Resolution supporting this concept will be prepared by the end of the meeting. Mr. Robert Herbst was next on the agenda. The Council had requested Mr. Herbst to appear to discuss the problems with the gravel pit. Mr. Kulaszewicz pointed out the many problems with teh area and noted that Mr. Herbst had done quite a bit to keep this area free fo rubbish, but several cars had been pulled out of the gravel pit and teh Council had requested him to appear to discuss a solution to this problem. Mr. Herbst said he is in the position to develop this land - with sewers. He told the Councol that he and talked with Metro and that sewers could be brought into that area - according to Mr. Karl Burandt. Mr. McLean said he would like this in writing. Mr. Schumacher pointed out this would entail the installation of 1 and 1/8 mile of interceptor lines in White Bear Township to reach the Southern border of Lino Lakes and would have to be paid for from either the City's funds or be assessed - this could only be done with the cooperation of White Bear Township. Mr. Kulaszewicz asked what could be done in the meantime to control the dumping of cars in the area along with the other debris that accumulates and there seemed to be no answer. Mayor Gourley suggested that teh Building Inspector, Police Department and Mr. Volk sit down and see what can be done under existing ordinances. The next item on the agenda was a report from teh Committee on the keeping of animals. Mr. McGrath presented the Council with some guidelines that had been worked out by this Committee. Mr. McGrath presented the ideas that had been worked out and said that his committee is at a stand still until some direction is received from this Council. A July 28, 1980 4 Mayor Gourley asked to have some time to consider these proposals - he said this will be discussed at the next Council meeting. Mr. Jaworski asked if this committee had discussed the pre- existing non- conforming uses and Mr. McGrath said it had heen discussed but ter is nothing in this proposal dealing with that specific problem. Mayor Gourley asked Mr. Locher to look at this proposal for conflict with existing ordinances. The Public Hearing for Shenandoah II was called to order at 8:00 P.M. Mayor Gourley asked Mr. Schumacher for his report on this plat. Mr. Schumacher said this plat is two years ols and both the Planner and the Engineer said they had reviewed this plat at that time and nothing has changed so they have no further comments. This plat had been approved bu both the Planning and Zoning Board and the Council in 1977, but the plat had not been filed and, thus must go through this process. 1 Mr. Huberty, representing Glenn Rehbein, presented copies of the plat. IN consulting the plat on file, some discrepancies had been discovered in the land designates as Park property. On one plat, 2.9 acres was designated for parks, on the new plat 2.2 acres was noted, with two extra lots. Mr. Schumacher read the letter from the RCWB noting that a baffle and weir must be installed before any construction can begin. The Planner had suggested a close look be taken on the proposed lands for park purposes in that it is 1 low and could prove to be unusable for a park. The Park Board had recommend- ed to accept this land. Mr. McLean noted that the Engineer should date the changes - this had not been done on this plat. He requested Mr. Huberty have this done. Mayor Gourley asked if there was any comments from the audience and Mr. Gary Barott, who is an adjoining property owner, said he would like to take a look at this plat. Mayor Gourley said, since there are some questions on this plat, he felt this hearing would be continued, bu Mr. Barott was welcome to look at what is here. Mr. Schumacher suggested that a list as to what needs to be corrected be noted for Mr. Huberty. 1) the park land must contain 10% of the land, and 2) all lots should be noted as a lot or an outlot. Mayor Gourley added that the new ordinance requires the developer to install the street lights and street name signs and the minimum elevations for basements should be establish- ed by the Engineer. The Clerk is to forward a copy of these minutes to the developer. Mrs. Elsenpeter suggested, that if there is a problem in establishing the needed lands for the park, perhaps less land could be taken and a portion of the development of the park be done by the developer. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to continue this hearing until August 11, 1980 at 7:45 P.M. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Phil Katzung, from the Metropolitan Housing Authority presented a slide program on the availability of funds for rent assistance for low income, diabled and retired persons. July 28, 1980 14� He explained how this is handled and noted that the funds come from HUD and the number of persons who receive assistance is governed by the funds available from the Federal Government. Mr. Katzung presented a slide program expaining the process of qualifying for this program and answered questions from the Council on this program. He explained there is a waiting list and at some point in time, they do cease taking applications. Mrs. Elsenpeter asked if the'people say where they want to live or does this agency seek rental property. Mr. Katzung said it works both ways. It is appreciated whn property owners come to them stating they have rental property for this purpose. Mrs. Elsenpeter moved to adopt the following Resolution: WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council has been duly orgainzed pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 473.06, Subd. 21, Subd 1, and Section 24, and has all of the powers and duties of a housing and redevelopment authority pursuant to Laws 1975, Chapter 13, Section 24 under the provisions of the Municipal Housing and Redevelopment Act, Minnesota Statutes Section 462.411 to 462.711, and acts amendatory thereof: WHEREAS, the City of Lino Lakes and the Metropolitan Council desire to assist lower income families and individulas to obtain adequate housing in the City of Lino Lakes at a price they can afford, and to accomplish this purpose desire to apply for Federal fujds to undertake a program of subsidizing rent payments to landlords who provide adequate adequate housing to such individuals and families. NOW THEREFORE, BI IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF LINO LAKES that the Metro- politan Council is hereby authorized to include the City of Lino Lakes in its application for Federal funds to implement a program of rental assistance to lower income families and individuals, and that upon Dederal approval of such application, the City of Lino Lakes and the Metropolitan Councilwill enter into an agreement for operating the pro- gram within the City. The motion was seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously.. A Mr. Pat MacFarland, from Anoka County, was to have been at this meeting but due to the reclassification of Anoka County, there will be more monies available for rehabilitation of homes and the new rules and regulations have not been established at this point in time. Mr. MacFarland will re- schedule his appearance.. The Public Hearing on the consideration of Special Use Permits and Rezonings was called to order at 9:15 P.M. The list of rezoning to remain as zoned and to be checked for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan was considered. Mr. Schumacher noted that the zoning for Randy and Gary Rehbein is located in a Rural area; the Marlin Rygh property, W &G Rehbein property and DX Sunray property all located at the intersection of Co. Rd.14 and 135E. Forest Tagg property located in an industrial zone; Walbon & Schmitz located in Multi- family; Feed Rite in an Industrial Zone. Mr. Schumacher pointed out, if these zonings do not conform to the Comprehensive Plan, then, either the zoning or the Plan will have to be changed. On the special use permits to be clairfied - Miller Cabinet Shop is now a residence; Alfred Stafki - wants to keep his special use permit; Mr. Klenck was present to discuss his special use permit. Mr. Kluegel said he had !46 had many calls about the condition of Ro21in9 Hills Drive, Mayor Gourley asked about Mr. Klenck's permit from DNR and Mr. Klenck said they haven't given him his final permit. Mr. Kluegel said there is a 4000 square foot pole building withort a building permit - this constitutes a commercial operation. - Mr. Klenck objected to discussing -this pole building. The special use permit is for the parking of two empty trucks. July 28, 1980 Mr. Klueger said only two trucks were parked at that location. The only other point was the condition of the roads. Mr. Klenck said that part of the problem was the trucks that went in for the construction of the new homes in the area and one of the problem areas is beyond his home. He felt that the frost contributed to the condition of the street. Mr. Klenck had taken pictures which he showed to the Council. The general consensus of the Council was that Mr. Klenck is operating under the special use permit as to the trucks. The other problem will be discussed at the Council Meeting to be held on August 11. 1980. Mr. Vi Schwankl had called to say that the trailer that is located on this property was there when they purchased the property. She said they had applied for a special use permit on two separate occasions and had been refused. This can be removed from the list. Mr. Jaworski moved to void Miller Cabinet Shop & Vi Schwankl - trailer. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimoulsy. Mr.Wahlberg was present to discuss his R -2 zoning and indicated that he wished to re- tain this zoning. Mr. McLean moved to renew Mr. Stafki's, Mr. LaMotte's and Mr. Klenck's Special Use Per- mits. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Jaworski moved to include Mr. Wahlberg's R -2 zoning in the list to be included in the compeehensiVe plan. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Jaworski moved to include the following zoning in the comprehensive plan; Randy & Gary Rehbein, Marlin Rygh, SX Sunray, Forest Tagg, Richard Walbon, Ctement Schmitz and Feed Rite.

Item One - Final Inspection of Bloom's Addition. Mayor Gourley asked if there were any compaction tests done on that road and Mr. Meister said, No. Mayor Gourley asked if any tests were done to determine the thickness of the blacktop or base and Mr. Meister said there was an inspector on the job. Mayor Gourley asked if there wasn't some storm sewers in this project and Mr. Meister said, yes, at the end of the cul -de -sac. Since this is put on a lot line there was no need for a compaction test. Mr. Schumacher questioned the recommendation for 20% maintenance bond - this is to insure the repair of the street from one year of acceptance. There has been some problems with streets within the one year period that this City has had to assume the cost.:of repairs. July 28, 1980 147 Mr. Meister said this is a part of the developer's agreement that is used effectively in other Cities, and felt this should be in practice by this City. There was some dis- cussion on this point and the reasons for this requirement. Under this discussion, the probFem with LaMotte Road was discu$Sed. There was a sug- gestion that perhaps the undermat could be used in this area. Mr. Meister is to have some recommendations and cost figures for the Council by the next meeting. This is to be put on the August 11, 1980 agenda. Mr. Carley and Mr. Meister reported on the problem in Shenandoah with the service that had been destroyed when the lift station had been installed. Mr. Glenn Rehbein has been billing the City but the problem is Metropolitan Waste Controls' amd should be paid by that agency. Mrs. Elsenpeter asked who is to surface that portion of the street - Totem Trail. The general consenus of the Council was this is the responsibility of Glenn Rehbein. Mr. Jaworski moved to withhold this cost from the SAC submittal and to write Mr. Rehbein that he will be paid when the street is surfaced. A letter to be written to Metropolitan Waste Control Commission informing them of the City's actions in this matter and a letter to Mr. Rehbein informing him of this decision. The letter to MWCC to be sent to Mr. Richard Dougherty. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. The proposed street specifications was discussed. Mayor Gourley asked Mr. Meister to go through this proposal. This sets forth the requirements of having the plans of each project certified and signed by a registered engineer. The street be de- signed for 7 ton maximum load with a minimum of 400 cars per day. This would also require soil borings to establish the bearing of the soils and this would determine the base needed and the surface needed. This also included the Procter test that had just been approved by the Council. All these tests will be done by a soil testing lab and paid for by the developer. This also includes a one year warranty on the construction of the street. Mr. McLean suggested these specs be given to Mr. Locher to incorporate into the exist- ing Ordinance and have ready for the next Council meeting. Mr. Meister noted that this requires that the City Engineer prepare the plans and specifications. The next item on the agenda was the developer's agreement. Mr. Meister said this is proposed to give the City and the Engineer more control on the installation of streets and the development of the project. Mayor Gourley asked if this gives more control than the existing ordinandes and Mr. Meister wasn't sure. The Public Hearing for consideration of Ordinance 56M was called to order at 11:15 P.M. Mayor Gourley asked if there was any comments from the Audience and there was none. Mayor Gourley asked if there was any comment from the Council. Mr. Jaworski suggested the portion referring to Ordinance 73 be deleted. Mr. Locher said this is permissable. Section 6.04 (F) delete the following " In Ordinance No.73 and any of its subsequest revision or amendments" Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to adopt 56M as corrected. Seconded by Mrs. Elsenpeter. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Jaworski moved to close the hearing at 11:20 P.M. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Forest Tagg had arrived to discuss his special use permit. This was for the manager's living quarters for his motel. Mayor Gourley pointed out this is allowed under the July 28, 1980 QrdiTnance and a special use permit is not necessary. Mr. Jaworski moved to void this special use permit. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Kluegel presented the quarterly report on the building permits in the City during the last quarter. Mr. Klueger reported on the materials stored by Mr. Sulander and th nothing has been removed since the last meeting. Mr. Sulander had requested an ad- ditional 90 days for the removal of this material. Mr. McLean asked if the City could remove this material and assess Mr. Sulander for the costs and Mr. Locher said, not without a hearing: Mr. McLean moved to direct Mr. Sulander to appear at the next Council meeting at which time his request for an extension will be discussed and his requirements will be defined for him. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Motion carried unanimously. A request from North Central Public Service for gas extension into Arena Acres. Mr. Jaworski moved to approve this request. Seconded by Mrs. Elsenpeter. Mr. Schumacher said that he had discussed this with the Engineer that no lines be installed until the street grades have been established. Mr. Jawroski amended his motion to include this, Mrs. Elsenpeter accepted the amendment. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Gourley presented a letter prepared by Mrs. Elsenpeter requesting gas lines to be extended into Pine Haven. Mrs. Elsenpeter has collected the money and she is re- questing Council approval and action on this request. Mr. Jaworski moved to approve this request and to forward the letter to North Central. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schumacher presented the Planning and Zoning Report: Item One, a special permit request from Mr. Spetzman for the construction of a shop on his property. Mr. Schumacher reported his land had been rezoned for the specific purpose of this shop. The Planning and Zoning Board had recommended approval of this permit with the stipulations that this building inspector inspect the building, the Fire Marshall inspect for fire hazard, that any outside storage be enclosed. In the original request this was to have been constructed with cement block - Mr. Spetzman now plans a wood constructed building. Mr. Jaworski questioned the lack of water and sewer facilities - Mr. Spetzman said he is the only employee. Mayor Gourley questioned the surfacing of the driveway. Mr. Spetzman indicated this will be a Class 5 type of surfacing. Mayor Gourley reminded Mr. Spetzman that the Ordinance requires this surface to be dust free. There was discussion of this surfacing and it was sug- gested that crushed rock be added. Mr. McLean moved to approve this special use per- mit -with the stipulations that this structure be inspected by the Building Inspector and Fire Marshall, no exterior storage, and a dust free surface on the driveway and parking area. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. Item Two - a variace request from Mr. Kroona for the moving in of a home of less than the required square footage. Mr. Kluegel presented some pictures of the home and reported on his inspection of the home. He had found no problems other than the size, 817 Square Feet 11 Story home. Mayor Gourley and Mr. Bathke had also inspected this home. They had inspected the area the home is proposed to be moved into. This area of homes are smaller than this home and is of the same general construction type. The lot faces Sunrise just South of Rustic Lane. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to approve this variance request from Mr. David Kroona. This variance is just for the size requirement and this approval is granted only on the basis that the home is compatible with the area to be moved into. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to approve this variance on that basis. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. 1 1 1 July 28, 1980 Item Three - a variance request from Mr. Brown for thr division of a lot and the moving of a house onto the lot. This is two variance requests on one application - 1) to split the lot 2) vary the minimum square footage. This house is proposed to be moved onto a sot on W. 77th street just North of 135W. This house had also been inspected and found the construction is good. There was discussion on this home not being compatible with this area. This house need 96 square feet to qualify for the required footage. Mr. Brown was asked if he had any plans for the enlargement of this home. Mr. McLean felt this should be denied unless a plan is presented for the enlarging of this home. Mayor Gourley suggested deleting the variance request for the house and consider the lot split at this time. Mr. McLean moved to approve the variance for the splitting of the lot. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. Mayor Gourley suggested the moving of the house could be approved provided the house is brought up to the required footage. Mr. Kulaszewicz moved to approve this request with that stipulation. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Brian Dobie had requested Tracts A & Q to be rezoned to R -2. These lots border Main Street on either side of Wood Duck Trail. Mrs. Elsenpeter moved to set a public Hearing on this rezoning for August 28,1980 at 8:00 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Kulaszewicz. Motion carried unanimously. The Planning and Zoning Board had requested a ten year review of the special use per- mit and the platting procedures concerned with the Country Lakes development Mr. Schumacher felt the Council had made a decision that the special use permit had been declared valid and the Planning and Zoning Board should make a decision on the pre- liminary plat based on that decision. Mr. Schumacher suggested that the Board meet 30 minutes early to discuss this problem. Mayor Gourley felt that three things should be conveyed to the Planning and Zoning Boar 1) the Council has made a decision on this special use permit; 2) the P &Z should be reviewing the plat in relationship of its conformity to the City Ordinance and 3)the Council will sit down with the Planning and Zoning Board and discuss their role as a planning commission. The next item was consideration of amending the ordinance on platting fees. Mr. Mike Johnson had researched the past three years in reference to the average costs for the plats completed. His recommendations was for the platting fees to be increased to $500.00. Mayor Gourley asked Mr. Locher, if the total fees come in less than the $500.00, does the ordinance provide for a refund? There was some discussion on this matter with Mr. McLean suggesting that the entire group of fees and return to the Council with a proposal. The Council agreed with this procedure. The next item was consideration of the 1980 -81 Labor Contract for the Maintenance personnel. Mr. Schumacher pointed out the changes in this contract. 10% salary in- crease for 1980 - 9% for 1981 and 2.77 per month increase in H &W benefits for 1981. The salary increase will be retroactive to January 1,1980. The Council discussed the various points in this Contract, with Mr. Schumacher answering the questions. Mr. Jaworski moved to approve this contract. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously.

The lot owned by Lino Lakes cannot be included as a part of the City park. The Park Board had requested this land be put on the market.
