OPEN MIKE
Jean Imolte, Outlot F - Mrs. Imholte accompanied by her husband told
the Council that since the Council decided that the Outlot was to be
divided and sold to the adjoining landowner, she has not been included
in any drawing showing that she would receive a portion of the Outlot.
A new map has been drawn and again she has been omitted. Mr.
Schumacher explained that the drawings show a logical extension of the
lot lines and in this situation there is not enough area to divide.
He also noted that this issue has not been a high priority and not
much has been done in the last few months. Mr. Schumacher explained
the drainage issue is the current concern of the Council and until
this is resolved there will be no division of the Outlot. Mr.
Stahlberg displayed the preliminary plat map of Outlot F. Mr. Reinert.
asked what the original letter to the property owners in that area
said. Mrs. Anderson explained. Mr. Reinert felt that the property
owners who wanted to get more land and pay more taxes should have a
chance. Mr. Stahlberg explained that the lot lines were only

COUNCIL MEETING MAY 11, 1987
preliminary. Mayor Benson felt that in this case it might not be easy
or practical.
Mayor Benson asked that the staff make sure that consideration is
given to all adjacent landowners. Mrs. Imholte thanked the Council
for listening to her concern.
Candy St. Claire, 74th Street - Mrs. St. Claire said she has two
concerns. The first involves access to the park on Leonard and
Bradley Streets. There is an outlot that will someday be an extension
of 74th Street to the west. Mrs. St. Claire asked if this outlot
could be maintained as an access to the park. She noted that her
children are small and she does not want them to go the long distance
on the street to the park. The second concern is the condition of
74th Street. She noted that she has lived in her house for five years
and nothing has been done with 74th although it is a city street with
signs and is maintained from time to time. Mr. Kluegel explained that
Mr. Menkveld owns a lot on the north side of 74th and he said he would
be willing to participate in the cost of upgrading this street. It
was also noted that the City owns Outlot G which would be the southern
right of way if this street were to be upgraded.
Mayor Benson asked that Mr. Kluegel and Mr. Schumacher follow through
with Mr. Menkveld to determine the interest in upgrading 74th Street
and determine a firm date when he is interested in seeing it
completed. He also asked that Mrs. St. Claire talk to Mr. Volk and
the Park Board regarding access to the park. He told Mrs. St. Claire
that the staff would followup and respond to her concerns by letter.
Steve Nice, 6509 - 24th Street - Mr. Nice explained that he
represented several landowners who were opposed to the plan to change
the land zoning in his area. Currently the requirements are one
dwelling per ten acres and the proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan is
considering one dwelling per two and one half acres. Mr. Nice felt
that since sewer is not intended to be extended into this area until
well after the year 2000, the potential for contamination will
increase. He also noted that his neighbors felt the Council was being
pushed into considering smaller land requirements by potential
developers and were not considering the desires of the present
residents.
Mayor Benson thanked Mr. Nice for appearing tonight.
STATUS REPORT FROM THE CENTENNIAL FIRE COMMISSION - NEAL BENJAMIN
Mr. Benjamin told the Council that he was before the Council tonight
because of their request to answer three questions raised at the
previous council meeting.
1
1

103
COUNCIL MEETING MAY 11, 1987
The first question was, what is the Lino Lakes station being used for
at the present time? Mr. Benjamin explained in addition to District
Memorial's ambulance service, the building is housing one vehicle that
is in the process of being sold. It is an old unit and is being
housed to prevent vandalism.
The second question was, what is the future of the Lino Lakes station?
Mr. Benjamin explained that originally the Fire District planned to
bring this station on line in 1987. However, budget shortfalls have
forced this plan to be delayed. Currently five firemen are being
trained and equipped to operate from this station. Until the budget
can be addressed and the building enlarged with two additional bays,
the fire District will be running as it currently is.
Mr. Benjamin explained that with the dry weather this spring and the
large amount of fires, one half of the District budget is already
spent. He is projecting that the entire 1987 budget will be spent by
October. This means that the District may have to cut back on
purchases of equipment to keep services at the current level.
Mr. Benjamin asked the Council how illegal burns (fires) can be
addressed. Mr. Hawkins explained that the resident can be charged
with violation of City Code and be made to make restitution. Also the
Council could look at an ordinance that would require repayment of
costs in an illegal burn.
The third question asked of Mr. Benjamin was, why is $1000 asked from
each city in the District for amending the relief association bylaws?
Mr. Benjamin explained that a total of $1000 is being asked and
explained that the District would find a competent attorney who would
draft legislation that would be carried through the legislature by our
own representatives. Mayor Benson asked why the legislators themselves
were not drafting the legislation. Mr. Benjamin said the District
will try and approach the problem in this manner but wanted to be sure
that they have enough money to cover any unforeseen costs. He noted
that the other two cities have responded to the request in the
affirmative.
Mr. George Meadows of the DNR from the audience suggested that the
Council refer to Minnesota State Statutes 88.75 regarding relief from
illegal fires.
Mayor Benson asked Mr. Benjamin how everything else was going in the
fire district. Mr. Benjamin said fine as long as it rains. He also
noted that the Lino Lakes fire station may have been premature from a
budget standpoint.

COUNCIL MEETING MAY 11, 1987
No action was taken on the request for Lino Lakes to participate in
paying the $1000.
PRESENTATION OF MEDIATION SERVICES FOR ANOKA COUNTY - ANN WALLERSTEDT
Ms. Wallerstedt introduced herself to the Council and explained that
she is the executive director of this service and wished to inform the
Council of its program. Mediation is an alternative dispute
resolution process whereby people in conflict can sit down with a
trained volunteer and work out their problem using win -win strategies.
The volunteer's role is to facilitate the negotiation, remain
impartial at all times and to help create options if needed. The
mediators do not make decisions but maintain control. This program
was instituted by the 1981 legislature. Some types of disputes
considered by this service are, neighborhood disputes, junk cars,
weeds, other peoples children, pets and noise. These disputes usually
never get resolved, one party just moves from the neighborhood. The
method of referring is by telephone, police, staff or parties in
dispute. The mediation staff then calls the parties involved and lets
them know of the information which they have received. There is no
cost for the service. If the problem is not solved, the parties can
go through legal channels as they normally would without this service.
If the parties agree to meet, then each side gives their viewpoint and
also their recommendation on how the dispute can be solved. If a
settlement is reached an agreement is drawn up. Each side is given a
copy of the agreement. There is no power to see that the agreement is
followed.
Ms. Wallerstedt noted that she is the only staff and she has an office
in Coon Rapids. There are eighteen trained volunteer mediators. At
this time Ms. Wallerstedt requested support of this program and
funding at the rate of five cents per capita to help meet the annual
expenses. She noted that in the future she expects the state to help
fund these expenses and the persons in dispute may be asked to help
pay some costs involved. She will also be soliciting funding from
grants and other sources.
Mr. Marier asked who qualifies as a mediator? Ms. Wallerstedt
explained and noted that not applicants for this position were
accepted.
Ms. Wallerstedt thanked the Council for allowing her to make her
presentation.
Mayor Benson told the Council that Ms. Wallerstedt has made two
requests. The first was for support of the services and the second
was funding. After further discussion, Mr. Marier moved to approve
the concept of the mediation services and noted that the point for
1
1
1
105
COUNCIL MEETING MAY 11, 1987
budgeting must be dealt with. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion.
Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Hawkins noted that from a legal standpoint it is more expensive to
have some of these items handled from his office. A complaint must be
drafted by the police department or by the building inspections
department and signed by a judge. Mediation services could be a
faster, cheaper manner of handling small problems before they become
larger problems. He also noted that two or three disputes handled in
this manner could mean savings of much more than the $335.00 requested
for the services. The Council could also request reports showing the
number of cases handled from Lino Lakes and their success rates.
Mr. Marier noted that there may be money in the unused portion of the
1987 salary budget. He moved to expend five cents per capita out of
the Administration Budget. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion
carried unanimously. Mr. Bisel asked to see an evaluation of the
services at the end of 1987.
7:30 P.M. - PUBLIC HEARING - EAST ASH STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Mayor Benson opened the public hearing at 7:53 P.M. Mr. Stahlberg
outlined the portion of the street to be upgraded noting that one half
of the street was in Anoka County and one half in Ramsey County. The
project was initiated because of a new plat, Otter Bay that will start
construction this year. He detailed the proposed construction of the
street noting that the blacktop surface probably would not be
installed until the Otter Bay plat is nearly completed. Fill for the
street would come in part from the plat. Funding is proposed to come
from the Otter Bay plat, two lots in the West Oaks of Bald Eagle plat,
and the Ramsey County Open Space by implementing chapter 429 of the
state statutes. A joint powers agreement with White Bear Township
would be required. Anoka County has said this street is not in their
county plan and will not contribute anything to the upgrading. The
question of who will be responsible for the maintenance of the street
once it is upgraded will have to be resolved. Mr. Stahlberg said this
could be worked out on the same basis as the Pine Street agreement
with Columbus Township.
Homer Brueggman, Owner of Two Lots in West Oaks of Bald Eagle. - Mr.
Brueggman noted that the City upgraded the east portion of this street
about two years ago with no assessments and asked why this cannot be
done again. He noted that a similar amount of work must be done.
Mayor Benson said this is a much expensive problem. Mr. Brueggman
noted that the new plat is the primary benefactor of the improvement
and asked why only the lots fronting on the street would be required
to divide the costs. He also said he has been paying taxes on these
106
COUNCIL MEETING MAY 11, 1987
lots and did not see how they would be benefited. Mr. Brueggman said II
he was opposed to the assessment.
Steven Nice, 24th Avenue - Mr. Nice said his street is not improved
and did not feel any of his taxes should go to improving East Ash
Street.
Bill Malinen, White Bear Township - Mr. Malinen told the Council that
at this point he has no official viewpoint from his Board. He has met
with Mr. Stahlberg and Ramsey County officials. Ramsey County does
not look at this as a county road as it does not meet their warrants.
They also said they did not have the money and could not justify
taking money from the general fund for any assessments. They propose
that it be assessed to the Ramsey County Open Space and then they
propose they no longer be responsible for the maintenance. As far as
the Township is concerned, there is only one resident and the balance
of the land is undevelopable so it would be questionable as far as
participating in the maintenance. The Towhship would probably assess
this to the Ramsey County Regional Space and a joint powers agreement
would be worked out. On May 18th, Mr. Malinen will present the
feasibility report to the Town Board as well as the outcome of this
meeting.
Larry Holmberg, Ramsey County Open Space - Mr. Holmberg said the
County Board has not taken any official position on this matter. If
Ramsey County were to be assessed it would be by White Bear Township
and the county has not been notified of any potential assessment or
hearing of an assessment. From the Ramsey County Parks standpoint,
two Ramsey County departments are involved; the public works
department has jurisdiction of the south one half of the road and the
Parks Department who is the landowner on over half of the property on
the south side of the road and who would be the party assessed.
Mr. Holmberg noted that the Parks Department would not have any reason
to recommend to the County Board or desire or request the street be
upgraded. The present street is adequate for park use. It is the
staff's feeling that upgrading the street would only benefit the
property to the north of the street and would have a difficult time
justifying recommending to the County Board any costs over 50% of the
improvement and any future costs involved. In the future if the
Township Board has a hearing, the County would deal with it then. The
County is subject to paying assessments as are all other landowners.
Mayor Benson noted there are activities planned for the park that
would require public entry from this street. Mr. Holmberg said that
these activities are planned for more than ten years in the future and
he had some questions about the life expectancy of the proposed street
itself. Mr. Stahlberg said the standards are basically the same as
1
1
107
COUNCIL MEETING MAY 11, 1987
this City requires for subdivisions and explained the design of the
street.
Mr. Schumacher asked about the day camp proposed for the Ramsey County
Open Space. Mr. Holmberg said this is in the ten year Capital
Improvement Plan and is not slated for completion until after that
time. Mr. Stahlberg asked if Ramsey County has any method of
recovering some of the costs because of the Regional Park. Mr.
Holmberg said if they are assessed and choose not to appeal they would
request Metro Council funding and this would be subject to whatever
Metro feels is necessary to the operation of that facility.
Mayor Benson asked who would decide if the County would participate in
the assessment. Mr. Holmberg said the County Board would decide if
they would appeal the assessment.
Robert Adamson, Owner of Otter Bay Plat - Mr. Adamson asked the
Council how the improvement of Ash Street is going to affect their
development. Mayor Benson said this proposal is somewhat different in
that there are two other entities to deal with. The end result may be
that the Council feels the improved street benefits all lots in Otter
Bay and may assess all of them. Mr. Reinert said the street will
primarily benefit the Otter Bay subdivision. Mr. Adamson asked who has
been maintaining the street. He asked since the City has been the
principal owner don't they have the responsibility to upgrade it. Mr.
Marier told Mr. Adamson that the benefited property usually pay the
assessments. Mr. Adamson asked if this was going to tie up his
project. Mr. Stahlberg said that Mr. Adamson could build his road and
build his houses. The plat and plans and specifications are being
prepared.
Mayor Benson asked what would be the legal position of the City if all
of Mr. Adamson's lots were assessed. Mr. Hawkins said the City would
have to prove that those lots benefit from the improvement. Appraisal
information would be needed.
Mr. Marier moved to close the public hearing at 8:24 P.M. Mr. Bisel
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Reinert moved to have Mr. Stahlberg get together with White Bear
Township and resolve the issues before the final plat is considered.
Mr. Marier seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Adamson said if the Council plans to hold up his revised plat he
will probably go back to his plat of 1979. Mr. Reinert said it was
not the intent of the Council to hold up his plat.
108
COUNCIL MEETING MAY 11, 1987
SECOND READING - ORDINANCE NO. 09 - 87, ADOPTING 1985 UNIFORM BUILDING
AND STATE BUILDING CODE.
Mr. Kluegel noted that this ordinance was considered at the last
Council meeting. He is now requesting that several optional chapters
of this proposed ordinance be deleted. He outlined the chapters to be
deleted and said some of them did not relate to Lino Lakes and some
would impose a financial burden on homeowners.
Mr. Bisel moved to have Mr. Kluegel clarify his recommendations in
writing giving the reason for not including the chapters in the
proposed ordinance and indicating what the difference would be if they
were included. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
Mr. Kluegel was asked to take each chapter of the proposed new
ordinance and show how it applies to Lino Lakes and if it is more or
less restrictive.
DISCUSSION OF CITY ASSESSOR'S POSITION AND POTENTIAL CANDIDATES
Mr. Schumacher explained he advertised the position and received a
number of responses as well as a proposal from the Anoka County
Assessor's office. He has narrowed the candidates down to three
candidates who are in this area and would accept a part time position
at the pay scale currently in use by this City. He asked if the
Council wanted him to pursue a part time assessor. Mr. Reinert
suggested that Lino Lakes share an assessor as many cities do. He
felt it was important to have someone on staff to deal with items on a
day to day basis. Mr. Schumacher noted that the County would only
provide basic assessing services. Mr. Reinert felt this was a growing
and changing city and there was a need for someone on staff.
Mr. Marier moved to hire a part time assessor. Mr. Bisel seconded the
motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Bohjanen moved to have the three candidates at the next Council
meeting to be interviewed by the Council. Mr. Marier seconded the
motion. Motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF THE ANOKA COUNTY MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT FOR MAIN
STREET RIGHT -OF -WAY
Included in the Council packets were copies of the documents detailing.
the two parcels of land owned by the City on Main Street and giving
the dollar figure for purchase of right -of -way and removal of some
trees for the upgrading of Main Street. Mr. Hawkins has compared the
1
1
1
109
COUNCIL MEETING MAY 11, 1987
offer to the City with the appraisals that were made on 4th Avenue.
They are comparable.
Mr. Reinert moved to approve the offer and approve signatures on the
documents. Mr. Marier seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
ENGINEER'S REPORT - RON STAHLBERG
Outlot "F" - Mr. Stahlberg told the Council that the survey and
fieldwork has been completed for the replatting of this outlot. The
surveyer was told to hold off on finishing the plat until the Council
could make a decision regarding the grading for drainage of the
outlot. He also noted that there are several other tax forfeit lots
in the area that require fill to make them buildable. Mr. Stahlberg
and the surveyer are currently trying to determine how much fill these
lots would require and determine how much dirt would have to be
removed from the outlot to make it drain properly to the lake. If
there is fill available from developing the drainage, the fill could
be used to develope the lots. Mr. Reinert noted that if the City is
going to move a lot of dirt and make the area barren, the adjacent
landowners may not be interested in obtaining parts of the outlot as
planned.
Warren Schlichting, 1017 Lantern Circle told the Council that it
appeared to him that the drainage of Outlot F is not the first issue,
fill for the tax forfeit lots is the main issue. Mr. Schumacher
explained that this became more of a project than originally
anticipated. Originally it was felt just putting in a swale and
deeding the parcels to the adjoining landowners was all that would be
needed. Now there is the related issue of the tax forfeit lots and
the City is looking at that outlot for some fill. Mr. Stahlberg noted
that just putting in the swale could mean regrading and taking down
trees.
Mrs. Imholte asked why the outlot could not be left as it is. Mayor
Benson said this would be a possibility.
Ash Street Sewer and Water, Resolution No. 20 -87. - Mr. Stahlberg told
the Council that the bids for this project came in well over estimate.
In addition there was a big gap between the low bid and the next
bidder. A third problem arose when it was determined that the low bid
contained an error. Now the low bidder does not want the job. The
Council cannot accept the next bidder because he is more than 10% over.
the estimate. He did try to negotiate to keep the project going
forward. The negotiation failed. Mr. Stahlberg recommended that the
Council reject all bids.
110
COUNCIL MEETING MAY 11, 1987
Mayor Benson asked why the bids were so much higher than the estimate.
Mr. Stahlberg explained it was because of high ground water and the
fact that there is another government entity involved. Mr. Schumacher
asked about the individual who is waiting for service. Mr. Stahlberg
said he would tell him that since the joint powers agreement with
Shoreview is in place, he could go ahead on his own and have the
services installed or go with a well and septic system.
Mr. Schumacher asked if the Council could start over with a new
engineer's estimate and advertise for bids. Mr. Hawkins said yes, the
purpose of the charter requirements was to let the property owners
know that costs are higher than anticipated. He also noted that if
there is a contractor working in the area, the City could negotiate
with him to do this project.
Mr. Marier moved to reject all bids. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the
motion. Motion carried unanimously.
ATTORNEY'S REPORT - BILL HAWKINS
Mr. Hawkins did not have a report.
REVIEW OF THE LINO LAKES BUILDING ORDINANCE TASK FORCE REPORT AS IT
RELATES TO ORDINANCE NO. 05 - 86.
This item has been on the Council agenda several times in the past.
The last time the staff was instructed to contact the Chamber of
Commerce and ask them to perform a survey of local businessmen to
determine what their feelings are regarding building standards in this
City. The Chamber did a good job and has prepared the document that
was enclosed with the Council packets. Mr. Reinert noted that there
were a lot of negative comments and not many constructive comments
from the area businessmen.
After discussion on the Chamber report the Council noted that
Ordinance No. 05 -86 could be handled in one of three ways. The
Council could approve it as it is written, have it redrawn or send it
to the Economic Development Committee for further review. The
consensus of the Council was to send the ordinance to the Economic
Development Committee for their review and comment.
Mr. Marier moved to continue the moratorium on pole buildings in
certain districts for another four to six weeks. Mr. Bisel seconded
the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

Update - St. Paul Water Works, Baldwin Lake Property - Mr. Schumacher
told the Council that St. Paul Waterworks decided to sell their
property on Baldwin Lake and asked this City if they would be
interested in the property. The Park Board offered $1.00 for the
property and this offer was refused. The property was offered for
bids and the ten acre parcel was sold to D. Patrick McCullough and the
entry road was divided and sold to adjoining landowners.
Update - Roland Ford - Mr. Kluegel has included in the Council packets
a memorandum listing the current status of this situation and
correspondence from the Anoka County Health Department and the
Department of Natural Resources. The PCA has been notified of the
situation, but unless heavy contaminates are present, they probably
will not get involved. Mr. Ford was suppose to have an engineer
prepare a plan and coordinate the permit activities with various
agencies. Mr. Kluegel did not know if this has been accomplished.
Mrs. Langfeld, County Commissioner will also keep on this matter. Mr.
Kluegel has signed another complaint and this will be delivered to the
judge tomorrow.
Mr. Brotton addressed the Council regarding the alleged transfer
station at the Ford property. Mr. Brotten said he has talked to Mr.
Christianson at the County Health Department who has told him that as
long as the containers do not contain materials, this would not be
considered a transfer station. He will keep the containers empty.
Update - Centerville Center Oaks Subdivision Drainage - Mr. Schumacher
has received a letter from the Centerville Mayor stating that
Centerville does concur with the research being done thus far and
would be receptive to any research or information the Rice Creek
Watershed District could supply. Rice Creek Watershed District will be
proceeding with this matter.
Confirmation of Reservations for League Conference - Mayor Benson and
Mr. Reinert will be attending this conference. Mr. Bohjanen will call
the office to let the staff know of his decision in this matter.
Set Up Finance Meeting for Proposed Water System - A meeting was set
for Monday, June 1, 1987 at 6:30 P.M.
Circle Pines Letter - The City has received a letter from Circle Pines
stating that they have approved the franchise and joint resolution
regarding the number of members on the Utility Commission. They have
requested that the Lino Lakes Commission Member attend the May 26,
1987 Commission meeting.
Mr. Marier moved to appoint Mr. Al Ross, past member of the gas
franchise negotiating team to the Circle Pines Utility Commission.

Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Mr. Reinert asked if this
appointment had to be a citizen at large. He was thinking that Mr.
Marier should be appointed because it was extremely important that
this appointee have close ties with this Council. After further
discussion, Mayor Benson called for the question, the motion carried
unanimously.
Rice Lake Estates Area Assessments - Mr. Stahlberg noted that there
was an error in the filing of assessments on this project. The entire
assessment for Ulmer's Rice Lake Third Addition was filed on one lot.
The assessment should have been spread on all the lots. This requires
another public hearing.
Mr. Bisel moved to set the public hearing for June 8, 1987 at 7:30 P.M
and approve Resolution No. 23 - 87. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion.
Motion carried unanimously.

Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update - Mr. Stahlberg said that the plan
is at Metropolitan Council and all Metro staff have completed their
comments. There appears to be a problem with the area that goes into
the Shoreview sewer system. Mr. Stahlberg has prepared a summary for
Met Council and will be meeting with them.
Mr. Stahlberg told the Council he has plans and specifications
completed for Reshanau Lake Estates South and D. Erickson's 2nd
Addition. An easement will be needed over the property to the west of
