CONSIDERATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN AMBULANCE OPERATIONS BASE
AT THE LINO LAKES FIRE HALL
Mr. Barry Matson, Director of Emergency Medical Services, District
Memorial Hospital appeared before the Council to ask for formal
consideration and support for the placement of a basic life sup-
port and advance life support base in the new Centennial Fire Hall
in Lino Lakes. He presented written material for the Council re-
garding mileage data responding from the proposed Lino Lakes base.
Mr. Matson explained that currently District Memorial ambulances
are dispatched to emergencies north of Main Street and Health Cen-
tral ambulances are dispatched for emergencies south of Main Street.
The proposal for a base in Lino Lakes would reduce response time
from an average of eleven to sixteen minutes to an average of one
and one -half to two minutes. He also explained that District Memorial
140

Hospital was not entering into this project for financial gain
but to provide better benefits to the people in this area. How-
ever, both Centerville and Lino Lakes would have to use District
Memorial Hospital EMS to make the operation financially feasible.
Mr. Matson told the Council that all equipment used for this ser-
vice must be licensed by an agency of the Minnesota Health De-
partment. Their guidelines apply to both equipment and personnel
and all must meet the same criteria.
Presently if an emergency call is received by 911 for the area north
of Main Street, 911 notifys Health Central and they in turn notify
District Memorial Hospital. Mr. Matson is requesting that if a
base is established in Lino Lakes that the Council mandate all EMS
be dispatched to District Memorial Hospital. If after a period of
operation, Circle Pines, Lexington or the east portion of Blaine
is interested in the District Memorial service, this could be fur-
ther investigated.
Mr. Al Ross noted that Lino Lakes has in the past supported Dis-
trict Memorial Hospital through tax levies and asked if the citi-
zens would be supporting this EMS. Mr. Matson explained the ser-
vice would be self supporting. He also explained that the ambulance
must take the patient to the hospital of their choice unless they
are in a life threatening situation.
Mr. Marier asked if there were any objections from Centennial Fire
District to leasing space in the new fire hall to District Memorial
Hospital. Mr. Andy Neal explained the remodeling of the building
includes space for this service.
Mr. Neal told the Council there will be helicopter service available
to District Memorial EMS. This service is proving very valuable.
Mr. Neal pointed out a Centennial Fire District cost savings of ap-
proximately $11,000 if the base is established in Lino Lakes. The
Fire Department would not be taking rescue calls.
Mayor Benson thanked Mr. Matson for coming tonight and asked Mr.
Schumacher to put together all the information received tonight and
to determine if Centerville agrees with this concept and then the
Lino Lakes Council will make a decision.
CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION #18 -86 REQUESTING INFORMATION
FROM WILLIAMS PIPELINE COMPANY AND ASSISTANCE FROM APPROPRIATE REGU-
LATORY AGENCIES
Mr. Schumacher explained he had met with the Managers of the Cities
of Circle Pines, Shoreview and Blaine and discussed the disaster in
Moundsview. Because Williams Company has pipelines in the above men-
tioned Cities and the concern that another disaster could occur,

lutions are being considered by these other Cities as well as
Ramsey County.

tion.

Mayor Benson asked that the staff obtain information on how Circle
Pines Gas Utility and North Central Public Service mark their lines
to avoid unintentional cutting of the lines.
CONSIDERATION OF PARTICIPATING IN MINNESOTA SEAT BELT COALITION PROGRAM
Chief Campbell explained the purpose of the coalition is to support
the seat belt law and to provide education regarding the law. There
is no membership fee.
Chief Campbell and Public Works Director told the Council they will
mandate that their employees using City vehicles use seat belts.
Chief Campbell told the Council that he expects that in the future
there will be penalties enforced for not using seat belts.
Mr. Marier moved to approve enrollment in the Minnesota Seat Belt
Coalition. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unani-
mously.

PLANNING AND ZONING REPORT - PETER KLUEGEL
A. Variance - John Guse, Set Back - Mr. Guse purchased a lot in
the Lino Air Park on the corner of Thomas Street and 4th Avenue.
Three problems with the lot has prompted Mr. Guse to apply for a
variance to the setback requirement for a 3200 square foot air-
plane hanger he wishes to construct on his lot. The problems are;
the City has condemned 17 feet of his lot for additional street
right -of -way for completion of the 4th Avenue project, the lot was
originally undersized and there is a swale through the lot which
allows drainage of his property and other properties to the west.
Mr. Kluegel noted the Planning and Zoning Board did recommend ap-
proval of the request although the vote was not unanimous.
Mr. Guse was asked why he needed such a large building. He explained
he owns two airplanes. He was asked why he did not locate the build-
ing in a different spot and place the doors facing north. He ex-
plained he would not be able to get the doors open in the winter.
Mr. Reinert noted that the initial intent of this air strip was
for the convenience of one airplane owners and also felt Mr. Guse
should have been aware of the limitations of such a small lot when
he purchased the lot.
Mr. Reinert moved based on the Planning and Zoning Board's recommen-
dations and the Building Inspectors recommendations to approve the
variance as requested by Mr. Guse based on the criteria outlined by
the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion.
Motion carried with Mr. Marier voting, no.
B. Conditional Use Permit and Site and Building Plan Review - Wayne
Scanlon - Mr. Scanlon is proposing to build a 45' x 90' building
for use as a veterinary clinic and office in the light industrial (LI)
zone on Otter Lake Road near Cedar Street. The Planning and Zoning
Board did recommend approval with additional stipulations as outlined
in their minutes. Mr. Kluegel has determined the mound septic system
size to be twice the size recommended by the engineer. A drive-
way access permit has been received from Anoka County and Mr. Scanlon
is in the process of obtaining a Rice Creek Watershed District Permit.
Mr. Scanlon explained the building will be a pole type building with
a cedar and brick front. The front area will be landscaped per Plan-
ning and Zoning recommendations. There will be one sign located near
the road and the only lights will be above a side entry door and
along side the front entry door.
Mr. Marier moved to approve the Conditional Use Permit and Site and
Building Plan Review for Wayne Scanlon subject to all of the recom-
mendations of the Planning and Zoning Board and the Building Inspector
to include exterior face as outlined by Mr. .Scanlon tonight. Mr. Boh-
janen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

C. Conditional Use Permit - Advertising Sign Lance Olson -
Mr. Olson has requested a Conditional Use Permit for an advertis-
ing sign to be located on 35W on the Glen Rehbein property adver-
tising his business, Muffler Doctor. The sign is 10' x 20', metal
frame and meets the set back requirements of the Sign Ordinance.
The City Planner and the Planning and Zoning Board did recommend
approval.
There was concern on how this sign will affect future Lino Lakes
business signs because of the regulation regarding separation of
advertising signs. Mr. Kluegel explained that Lino Lakes business
signs would not be classified as advertising signs and the separa-
tion requirements would not be applicable in that case.
Mr. Bohjanen moved to approve the Conditional Use Permit for an
advertising sign for Mr. Olson subject to the recommendations of
the City Planner and the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Marier
seconded the motion.
There was further questions on whether allowing this sign would
create problems in the future for Lino Lakes businesses. Mr.
Rehbein, owner of the property, was in the audience and explained
this sign was meant to be posted for only six months. It did not
appear there would be any businesses built in this area during this
period of time.
Voting on the motion, motion failed. Mayor Benson and Mr. Reinert
voted no, a tie vote.
Mayor Benson asked that this request be considered again when a
contract between Mr. Rehbein and Mr. Olson is completed and a copy
is available for Council consideration.

D. Ordinance #05 -86, First Reading - Building Standards Text Amendment -
Mr. Kluegel explained that last February the Council had requested
the Planning and Zoning Board to set up criteria for buildings in
the business districts. This proposed ordinance would put Lino Lakes
on about par with Bloomington with respect to building standards.
Pole buildings and wood frame buildings would not be allowed in these
districts as well as buildings with metal siding. Buildings would
be constructed of steel, reinforced concrete, type III construction,
masonary construction or equivalent or better.
Mr. Reinert said it is conceivable with the poor soil conditions
in Lino Lakes that these required buildings could look worse than
some of the buildings already there.
Glenn Rehbein - Mr. Rehbein told the Council that since this City
does not have municipal sewer pole buildings would be viewed as
temporary buildings to be torn down when sewer arrives and the land
1

is purchased for permanent construction. He pointed out the
situation on Lilac Street where the pole type commercial build-
ings look much nicer than Molin Concrete. This proposed ordi-
nance would not help the City promote a larger tax base but
would discourage building in Lino Lakes altogether. Mr. Rehbein
suggested this Ordinance should deal with screening and measures
to insure a suitable looking front.
Paul Wolters - Mr. Wolters referred to the Planning and Zoning
Minutes where the Planner had suggested that the concrete struc-
tures were more economical to heat /cool and to insure. He dis-
puted the cost savings when the building would cost probably three
times as much to build. It would take many years to recoup the
initial costs.
Mr. Kluegel explained that the Planning and Zoning Board did rec-
ognize that if this Ordinance were approved there would be a lot
less commercial building in Lino Lakes for the next few years.
Mr. Reinert said he was not sure there is no place for pole or
wood frame buildings in Lino Lakes.
Jerry Blackbird - Mr. Blackbird felt that no steel exteriors would
be very restrictive. If this Ordinance were in place fifteen years
ago, City Hall would not have been built in this manner.
Mr. Bohjanen suggested that this proposed Ordinance needs more sin-
cere study.
Mayor Benson asked that all the comments received tonight be taken
back to the Planning and Zoning Board for further study and this
be discussed when the Council meets with the Planning and Zoning
Board.
Mr. Bohjanen moved to table this item for further study. Mr. Marier
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
The Council took a ten minute break at 8:30 P.M.
CONSIDERATION OF ANNUAL CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REVIEW
Mr. Kluegel presented the Council a list of sixty -three (63) active
Conditional Use Permits. He told the Council that items (6) and (10)
no longer are using their Conditional Use Permits and have asked
that they be withdrawn. Both items refer to Kennel Licenses that
are no longer being used.
Mr. Kluegel has received a complaint regarding Conditional Use Per-
mit Number 8. This is a Kennel License issued to Sharon Todoroff.
Gregg Coleman, her neighbor, was in the audience and explained
there was a lot of barking and disturbing noise coming from this
kennel and there were more dogs than the permit allowed. He said
146
COUNCIL MEETING
July 28, 1986
Page Eight
he did not want to shut down the kennel operation, however sugges-
ted it be screened by a soundproof material to keep the noise at
a minimum.
Mrs. Todoroff explained one dog has cancer and will be disposed
of and the fourth dog will replace this dog. She agreed to screen
the kennel with soundproof material and also stated that they may
move the kennel further back on the lot and this may also help the
noise situation.
Mr. Kluegel has received a complaint regarding Conditional Use Per-
mit Number 36, Richard Klenck, 2260 Rolling Hills Drive. Mr. Klue-
gel explained there are a number of vehicles parked on the property
not allowed by the Conditional Use Permit. In addition, Mr. Evans
at 2252 Rolling Hills Drive has appeared before the Council detail-
ing what he believes to be violations of the permit and was in the
audience tonight with photographs of digging and filling on the
property.
Mr. Kluegel noted that Mr. Klenck has now obtained a RCWD permit
and a DNR permit for removing cattails. He has applied for a CORP
permit.
Mr. Reinert asked Mr. Kluegel if Mr. Klenck is complying with the
Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Kluegel said he has more vehicles
than allowed by the permit. Mr. Volk told the Council he is con-
cerned about the condition of the street. He has received several
calls regarding loaded trucks going over the street particularly
during the period of weight restrictions. He will personally moni-
tor this situation.
Mr. Kluegel has received several complaints regarding Conditional
Use Permit Number 51, Luthers Sport Shop. Most of the complaints
concern the parking of boats and vehicles on Lois Lane obstructing
traffic. This is a continuing problem. Mr. Volk has posted no
parking signs, but the signs disappeared. This problem will be
compounded when Lois Lane is completed as there will be consider -
able more traffic past this business.
Mr. Hawkins said he would get more information regarding Conditional
Use Permit Number 22, El Rehbein and Son, Quad Subdivision.
Mr. Marier moved to cancel Conditional Use Permits #6 and #10 per
the wishes of the owners. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Mo-
tion carried unanimously.
Mr. Marier moved to require screening on Conditional Use Permit #8
as previously discussed by the end of August, 1986. Mr. Bohjanen
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Marier moved to require that Mr. Klenck comply with the re-
quirements of Conditional Use Permit #36 and to make sure trucks
are empty when leaving and entering the property. Mr. Bohjanen
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Bohjanen moved to instruct the Police Department to tag veh-
icles parked on Lois Lane in violation of Conditional Use Permit
#51. Mr. Marier seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Since there were no concerns with the balance of the Conditional
Use Permits, they will automatically renew until July, 1987.
ORDINANCE #07 -86. FIRST READING. MORATORIUM ON CERTAIN BUILDING
STANDARDS
Mr. Schumacher presented this Ordinance and explained that although
the Council had passed a motion declaring a moratorium, Mr. Haw-
kins has stated the Council will have to pass an Ordinance to make
the moratorium effective. He noted this Ordinance will not affect
items already being processed.
Mr. Glenn Rehbein told the Council that since Minnesota has only a
six month building season this Ordinance will cause a hardship.
He said the Council should try to help development. The Council
noted that the cooperation of developers has not been the best in
the past.
After further discussion regarding the length of the moratorium, Mr.
Marier moved to approve the first reading or Ordinance #07 -86 and
dispense with the reading. Motion died for lack of a second.

A. Consideration of Lake Animal Care, Inc. Contract for Animal
Control. Mrs. Anderson explained that Lake Animal Care, Inc. has
purchased White Bear Animal Control, April 1, 1986. White Bear
Animal Control is the current animal control service for Lino Lakes.
Lake Animal Care, Inc. has prepared a new contract which is exactly
the same as White Bear Animal Control and Mrs. Anderson is asking
for permission to sign this contract. Mr. Schumacher explained
that the animal service basically works with the Police Department.
There was a problem earlier this year and we requested and were
assigned a different animal control officer. There has been no
further problems.

ENGINEER'S REPORT - RON STALLBERG
A. West Shadow Lake Drive Feasibility Report - Resolution #20 -86 -
Mr. Stallberg presented a map to the Council indicating a different
alignment for West Shadow Lake Drive in the area where the creek
runs under the road. He also explained regardless of where the
road is placed soil borings would be needed to determine how much
fill is needed. He asked for Council approval of the alignment.
Mr. Davidson told the Council that their hydraulics department will
study what effect the lake will have on determining what type of
bridge construction is needed. He asked the Council to consider
whether or not there will be canoe traffic under the new bridge.
A bridge structure as opposed to a large culvert could cost three
times as much as the culvert.
There was a question as to why the road was being realigned. Mr.
Stallberg explained that this is a proposed state aid road and
state aid funds would pay for the reconstruction. Therefore, the
road must meet state aid standards. The curve in the road south of
the bridge would not meet state aid specifications.
Mr. Schumacher noted that RCWD is doing a study to develop control
of the waters in and out of Reshanau Lake. He asked Mr. Stallberg
to correlate his study with the RCWD study. Mr. Stallberg also
noted a DNR permit would be required if the project goes forward.
Mr. Marier said that he understood this project was to correct the
problem of water flooding the street not to construct a whole new
roadway. Mr. Davidson explained if the City planned to use state
aid funds to correct the problem, the project must meet state aid
standards which would require some realignment of the road as well
as obtaining additional right -of -way and providing an adequate open-
ing for water to flow. This will also require review by the state
aid department.
Mr. Marier was concerned about the time involved to complete the
reconstruction so that flooding would not occur again in the spring.
There was further discussion regarding the portion of road to be
reconstructed. Mayor Benson asked that the area of reconstruction
be determined so that it would follow the existing roadbeds as
closely as possible. He also requested the estimated cost. Mr.
Stallberg said he would proceed on the soils work.
Mr. Volk had completed a traffic count on this street during the
time the golf course was closed. He will be doing another traffic
count now that the golf course has been reopened to determine the
effect of golf course traffic on this area. He proposed asking
the County for assistance in upgrading the road.

It was decided to improve West Shadow Lake Drive (7th Avenue) in
three separate stages. The first stage would start near the en-
trance to Country Lakes Park and end near the area where the newer
homes are built. This footage will be determined and Resolution
#19 -86 will be revised to include the footage and the Resolution
will be brought back to the Council when Mr. Stallberg completes
his feasibility study. Resolution #20 -86 will also be considered
at that time.
B. Consideration Of Application from North Central Public Service
for Rice Lake Estates - Mr. Stallberg noted a letter from Bob Toddie
which indicates that the application from North Central conforms
with all City Codes. Mr. Schumacher said he is waiting for further
information from the Public Utilities Commission on this request
and how it affects the gas franchises. Mayor Benson noted he had
received a telephone call from a member of the gas franchise nego-
tiating committee asking that the Council not take action on this
matter until further information is received.
Mr. Marier moved to table this item. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the
motion. Motion carried unanimously.
C. 4th Avenue Plans and Specifications, Re- affirm Resolution #12 -86.
Mr. Stallberg explained the final plans for 4th Avenue have been
completed and now require the signature of the Mayor so they can
be sent to the MSA for final approval. The plans include ditch
cleaning, reconstruction of the roadway and drainage structures.
Mr. Davidson has recently talked to Mr. LeBlond regarding the under-
ground pipe across his property. This is the main outlet to get
water over to ditch #22. He does not anticipate a problem with ob-
taining a permanent easement from Mr. LeBlond.
Mr. Marier moved with cost figures being stable to approve the 4th
Avenue plans and to reaffirm Resolution #12 -86. Mr. Reinert sec-
onded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

Mr. Marier moved to approve this request. Mr. Bohjanen seconded
the motion.
Mr. Volk asked if the City is paying the contractor does this in-
validate the warranty on the road. Mr. Hawkins said no, the con-
tractors must honor the City requirements.
Mr. Schumacher was concerned that the City was going to pay a con-
tractor for work in the City when the contractor did not have a
contract for the work. Mr. Hawkins said the check from the bank
could be written to the City and the contractor and the City would
endorse the check.
Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously.

B. Status Report - Orange Street - Don Volk - Mr. Volk asked for
authority to work with the people on Orange Street to do some filling
on the boulevard to keep the runoff in the street in lieu of install-
ing curbing. If filling the boulevard does not work, he will ask for
authorization to do some survey work to develop a plan to drain run-
off by ditching and acquiring additional right -of -way. Mr. Volk
noted the fill will be restricted to public right -of -way to avoid
a liability situation. Residents from Orange Street were in the

material as he directs them.

seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

D. Peltier View Plat - Mr. Schumacher explained that the developer
has started construction on this plat and a letter has been prepared
by TKDA reviewing the proposed construction and plans. The
developer has requested to be allowed to construct the street ac-
cording to the standards enforced at the time the plat was origi-
nally accepted by the City.
Mr. Hawkins told the Council that if the developer does not now
have an investment in the roads the Council can impose the present
standard.
Mr. Marier moved that the developer comply with present ordinances
and the letter dated July 17, 1986 from TKDA. Mr. Bohjanen secon-
ded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
E. Set Public Hearing - Rice Lake Estates Assessment, September
8, 1986, 7:30 P.M. Mr. Bohjanen moved to set this public hearing.
Mr. Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Res. #22 -86.
F. Sale of Maple Street Lots - Mr. Schumacher outlined the previous
sales in this area. They are considerably higher than what has been
bid. Mr. Volk has outlined a need for retaining an additional 20'
easement to construct a proper turn around since Maple Street will
end at the west end of the lot. Mr. Kluegel has indicated that if
a twenty foot easement is retained this will make the lot unbuild-
able since there will not be enough room for a house and a septic
system.
After further discussion, Mr. Reinert moved to wait with the sale
of this lot until Maple Street is extended to Nordin Street. Mr.
Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
G. Financial Status of Comprehensive Plan - Mr. Schumacher ex-
plained that there is $9,000.00 budgeted in 1986 for the completion
of the Comprehensive Plan. To date $14,376 has been spent and
there are at least two more meetings planned. He is concerned be-
cause a document still has to be prepared to encompass all the ma-
terial.
Mr. Schumacher was directed to set up guidelines for the Task Force
and the Planning and Zoning Board. These guidelines will include
that all requests for consultant work will be made through the
Administrator. Mr. Schumacher will inform these two committees of
the Council's directive.
