PAGE 2 1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 8, 1987 Item No. 33 is a Conditional Use Permit for Richard Klenck, 2260 Rolling Hills Drive to operate a contract hauling business from his home with the parking and storing of two dump trucks only to go in and out empty with an annual review of July 1st of each year and the permit is non - transferable and issued to Mr. Klenck only. Mr. Kluegel explained the Police Department and the Public Works Department have received numerous complaints about trucks entering the property over weight and breaking up the street. Mr. Kluegel said he has personally witnessed an oil truck, boat and truck camper on the premises but has not personally witnessed over loaded dump trucks. Mr. Marier asked if it is always the same person making the complaints. Mr. Kluegel said no, some complaints have come from White Bear Township residents. Chief Campbell explained the complaints he has received have been anonymous and his officers have not witnessed any violation of the Conditional Use Permit. Mrs. Klenck explained that no one has ever come to their residence complaining of over loaded trucks and there has been no break up of Rolling Hills Drive. The condition of Rolling Hills Drive depends on the weather. She also told the Council that Mr. Klenck has purchased some property outside of Lino Lakes and plans to move his truck operation to the new location. She told the Council that she has noted that Lino Lakes does seem to be a friendly place to be and does not want businesses here. Mr. Reinert asked Mr. Kluegel to read the conditions of the Conditional Use Permit. Mr. Kluegel did this and Mr. Reinert said that the conditions are specific, trucks cannot enter the property loaded. Mrs. Klenck said they do comply with the conditions on the permit and have invited people to inspect their property but no one has ever done this. Mr. Reinert said that there is not enough proof of any violation on the permit. Mr. Marier moved to continue the Conditional Use Permit for Richard Klenck until proof of violations can be obtained. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Item No. 46, Frank and Kathy Sampair, 7393 -- 24th Avenue - Conditional Use Permit for a commercial horse stable to include the activities of riding lessions, training, boarding, breeding, sales of horses and tack, provided that the driveway and parking area be covered with a substantial rock -type paving. Mr. Kluegel explained that there have been numerous complaints about rodents in wood chips piled on this property and letters and complaints have been written. Mr. Bob Powers, resident of the City of Hugo across the street from the Sampair residence spoke to the Council regarding health, nuisance and economic concerns about the condition of the Sampair property. He PAGE 3 135 136 COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 8, 1987 explained that horses keep getting loose and have damaged his lawn, dogs continually are barking and there is considerable noise from horse riders. He is also concerned because thirty five to fifty loads of wood chips which have been dumped on the property. All of the neighbors have pride in their property and asked the Council to place a time frame on getting this property cleaned before the Conditional Use Permit is extended. Mrs. Kathy Sampair explained the wood chips were dropped off by NSP and are intended to be used to stablize the sandy soil. NSP has delivered more wood chips than what they were able to handle at the time. She said she was not aware that her horses were getting on the Powers property and suggested that those horses may belong to a neighbor because the Sampair's do have electric fences to keep their horses fenced. She also explained that NSP dented the Powers mail box when dropping off a load of chips. Mr. Kluegel recommended to the Council that the wood chips be mulched and spread within one month. Mayor Benson asked Mr. Powers if he was aware of where the horses that damaged his lawn came from. Mr. Powers said he was sure they were from the Sampair facility. Mrs. Sampair said she would be sure to remind their riders that they must keep off of private property. Mr. Marier moved to direct that the wood chips be spread within the next six weeks in a manner that will not be unsightly as recommended by the Building Inspector and that the horse riders be made aware that they must keep off of the Powers property and to delay renewal of this Conditional Use Permit for six weeks to be sure that this matter is resolved. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Item #49, Luther's Sport Shop, 7860 Lake Drive. Mr. Kluegel explained that he and Chief Campbell have received numerous complaints regarding the parking of vehicles on Lois Lane obstructing traffic when loading and unloading boats. Mr. Kluegel has notified Luther's by letter and in person regarding this situation and further notified them of the trash complaints. Mr. Bert Noren a neighbor to Luther's Marine on Lois Lane explained that the dumpsters needed for this business should be four times larger than what is presently on the premises. He also noted that boats are assembled on the street and no attempt is made to pick up the trash. Mayor Benson felt the only way to control debris at Luther's was to require that all work be done inside the fence that is properly screened. The only other solution would be relocation of this business. PAGE 4 1 1 137 COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 8, 1987 Kevin Phillips - Mr. Phillips said he has called several times because the intersection of Lake Drive and Lois Lane is very dangerous. Boats are set on the pavement, blocking lanes of traffic and obstructing the view when coming onto Lois Lane from Lake Drive and from Lake Drive to Lois Lane. In addition he felt the area was very unsightly. He said he would like a wood fence to keep everything out of sight. Marilyn Elsenpeter - Mrs. Elsenpeter explained that she will soon be a resident of Lois Lane and was concerned about ground water contamination because of the buried gas tanks on Luther's property. She asked that PCA examination this situation because the tanks may be causing some underlying problem. Mr. Schumacher explained he has personally talked to Mr. Duncanson, the current owner of Luther's regarding relocating the business near 35W in the Lino Industrial Park. Mr. Duncanson simply does not have enough land to operate a business that is growing at such a fast pace. Mr. Duncanson had expressed concern regarding such a move because the City was considering a complete moratorum on pole type construction and he would need this for storage facility in the new location. Steve Schneider - Mr. Schneider asked what would happen if there was an emergency when there are boats and cars parked on the street. There was discussion on this issue. Mrs. Duncanson - Mrs. Duncanson explained that. Luther's was there long before any of the residences or Lois Lane was built. She also told the Council that she has hired a boy that does nothing but haul rubbish to the dump twice a day. She further explained that when customers drop boats off there is a period of about five minutes when the boat is left hooked up to the car in the street. She has instructed her employees to be sure to have the boat moved as soon as possible so that it would not obstruct traffic. Mrs. Duncanson explained that Luther's now employ about twenty five people and further explained how some of the neighbors have come to her office and have been abusive and offensive. She noted that if this harrassment continues Luther's Sport Shop will be moved from Lino Lakes. She also noted that Luther LeVessuer would be greatly distressed if he got wind of this harrassment. Mrs. Duncanson said that if any recommendations are presented she will abide by them but . she will not take any further abuse. Mayor Benson said he would not take any abuse regarding this City or its citizens either. He asked what would happen if every citizen takes a part of the road to use as they wish? He said Luther's could stay or move, however this City did appreciate the businesses who were trying to upgrade their concerns. Mrs. Duncanson noted that if PAGE 5 138 COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 8, 1987 Luther's moves it will be an all around loss, a loss of jobs and of taxable property. Mr. Reinert asked Mrs. Duncanson how she felt this situation could be resolved? Mrs. Duncanson did not have a solution but noted that the VFW Club has garbage floating around and nobody complains about this. Mr. Reinert told Mrs. Duncanson she appeared to be very rigid in her position and unwilling to cooperate. The basic concern here is to get the boats off of the street and work to clean up the area. Mr. Kluegel said he felt the primary need is for screening and suggested a six foot cyclone fence or wood fence with everything stored within the fence. Mr. Bohjanen asked about the property between Luther's and the house to the east. Mrs. Duncanson said that Luther's rents the property from the former Mrs. Duncanson who has not allowed them to place a fence on it. Mr. Reinert asked Cheif Campbell how parking complaints are received. Chief Campbell said most complaints come through Central Communications. By the time a squad gets there the problem has left the area. Luther's has been very cooperative when a problem arises. Kevin Phillips - Mr. Phillips said he did not see a real solution for this area. He would like to see a fence and containment of the rubbish. He noted that nothing can be done about the loading and unloading of boats on the street. When businesses grow it is expected that they need larger areas. He felt that Luther's should not be able to impose on other rsidents and was concerned when minor infractions take place just because Luther's is allowed to be there. Another resident felt that Luther's was not being cleaned up. He recommended a privacy fence. He told of boxes being left on the road and when they get cleaned up more rubbish appears. He felt the traffic was the real problem. For the present he would like to see the boats moved from the right -of -way along Lake Drive because on coming traffic cannot be seen. Terry Malley, Knoll Drive agreed the problem was parking on the boulevard. He suggested placing signs telling people where to park. A gentleman from the audience asked to hear more concerning the underground gas storage tanks. Mayor Benson said he would not address this concern until after the Pollution Control Agency assesses the situation. PAGE 6 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 8, 1987 Mr. Bisel said this appears to be lack of good neighborliness. He felt screening was not unreasonable. He asked that Mr. Kluegel work with Luther's to get a screening fence on Lois Lane and asked that Mr. Kluegel make a recommendation regarding the backside of Luther's. Mr. Bisel also felt signing would be appropriate to let customers know where to park. He said he liked the business and would like them to stay in Lino Lakes and be a good neighbor. Mr. Bisel moved his recommendations in the previous paragraph and have a report back to the Council within one month. Mr. Reinert suggested that what is being proposed by Mr. Bisel is actually amending the Conditional Use Permit and he felt the Planning and Zoning Board should review the proposed changes before the Council takes action. Mrs. Duncanson said that legally Mr. Duncanson cannot put any fences on the property to the east until he received the permission of the former Mrs. Duncanson. Mr. Reinert suggested that the Conditional Use Permit holder take this matter back to the Planning and Zoning Board so that the situation can be worked out. Mr. Bisel withdrew his motion. Mr. Marier asked that the Planning and Zoning Board address the underground gas tank situation, storage on the street and assembly of boats outside of the confines of the fence. Mayor Benson asked that the Board address display on the boulevard, especially the problem of seeing southbound traffic. Mrs. Duncanson said she would have the display moved closer to the building. Mr. Bisel moved to continue the discussion of this Conditional Use Permit until all the suggestions in the above paragraph have been considered by the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Item No.a 47 - William Krychinski, 7830 Lake Drive - Mayor Benson asked if this business was still in operation. Mr. Kluegel said that Mr. Krychinski occassionaly sells cars. Mayor Benson asked if the proper screening was in place between this business and the park. Mr. Kluegel said the trees had been planted. Item No. 52 - Apitz Garage, 325 Birch Street - Mayor Benson asked about exterior storage at this business. Mr. Kluegel said that paved parking has been provided on the west side of the building. Mayor Benson said he has noticed vehicles parked along the street again. Mr. Kluegel said he would contact the owner regarding this situation. Mayor Benson noted two semi trailers parked on private property on Birch Street. Mr. Kluegel explained that one was at the Pat Berry residence and contains household items while the Berry's are in the process of rebuilding their home. The second trailer is on the former Pudwell property. Mr. Kluegel said he has sent letters to the owner of the trailer. PAGE 7 139 140 COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 8, 1987 Mayor Benson asked about the Flannery Kennel License. Mr. Kluegel explained that Mr. Flannery did not sell his property as planned and now there is no need for the Kennel License. ATTORNEY'S REPORT - BILL HAWKINS Consideration of Two Applications for Gas Service to Lino Lakes Industrial Park - Mr. Hawkins explained by ordinance both Circle Pines Gas and North Central Gas has the right to service the Industrial Park. The City Engineer has reviewed the applications from both companies and now it is up to the landowner to choose which gas company he wishes to serve this area. Mr. Schumacher noted that Mr. Schilling the landowner prefers service from Circle Pines if they can be competitive with North Central. Mr. Marier moved to recommend to Mr. Schilling that he use Circle Pines Gas Company. Mr. Hawkins told Mr. Marier that it is up to Mr. Schilling to make this decision. The Council can only approve or disapprove of the application. Mr. Marier withdrew his motion. Mr. Bisel moved to approve the applications from Circle Pines Gas and North Central Public Services. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING, ULMER'S RICE LAKE ESTATES THIRD ADDITION RE- ASSESSMENT Mayor Benson opened the public hearing at 8:26 P.M. Mr. Davidson explained Mr. Ulmer had applied for replatting of the Third Addition into the Fourth Addition. However, Mr. Ulmer was not able to resolve some easement issues and the Fourth Addition was not approved. The assessment was then placed on the entire Third Addition but listed to only one property identification number. This process tonight will divide the assessment upon all lots in the Third Addition with the exclusion of four lots already sold and will include four lots in the Ulmer's Rice Lake Addition. An assessment roll has been prepared and delivered to the Clerk. Mayor Benson asked for comments from the audience. There were no comments. Mr. Bisel moved to close the public hearing at 8:30 P.M. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Davidson explained that the interest for the first year is included in the first years payment. This means that the interest from the time the Council approved the assessment originally is included in this assessment. PAGE 8 141 COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 8, 1987 I Mr. Marier moved to adopt this assessment roll and Resolution No. 26 - 87 and dispense with the reading. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion.

In this letter Mr. Langness has noted some risk involved with a proposed bond issue for the water main project but if there was a shortfall it would not come before the year 2002. Mr. Davidson also noted that Mr. Langness has used very conservative assumptions when putting together the preliminary bond information.

PAGE 12 COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 8, 1987 Review of Proposed Public Improvement Financing Policy - Mr. Davidson noted that the section of the policy dealing with the issue of the bid coming in more than 10% higher than the engineers estimate remains the same.

Anderson, Clerk- Treasurer REQUEST FROM RICE CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT TO CLEAN JUDICIAL DITCH #2 (HARDWOOD CREEK) - RANDY SCHUMACHER Mr. Schumacher explained he has received information from RCWD that Hardwood Creek needs to be cleaned and Lino Lakes portion of the cost will be $3,500. There are two options to consider; 1) Lino Lakes clean the portion of ditch within Lino Lakes and request reimbursement for RCWD or, 2) Lino Lakes decline to clean the ditch and then RCWD will do the cleaning. This City must respond within thirty days to the communication. Mr. Schumacher was asked if the was an ulterior motive for the cleaning of this creek such as a future outlet for Lake Oneka. Mr. Schumacher said RCWD has said that this was not a consideration. The total cost of cleaning Hardwood Creek will be $21,000. The City of Hugo and the RCWD will pay for the balance of the project. Mr. Reinert asked if this project had been a part of RCWD long range plan and if so was this item moved up on their priority list. Mr. Schumacher said that their projects are probably done on a squeaky wheel basis. Mr. Reinert asked if squeaky wheel could be translated to political pressure? Mr. Reinert moved to decline to do Lino Lakes portion of the project. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. OLD BUSINESS Status of City Assessor's Position -- Mr. Schumacher explained that the number one candidate, Mr. Anderson accepted the position and then decided to decline. Mr. Johnson has accepted the position. Since he lives in Cambridge he has agreed to have a watts telephone line installed at his residence. Animal Control Contract - Mr. Bohjanen moved to notify Knollton Kennels that they must get their insurance and contract on line by the PAGE 14 1 1 147 COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 8, 1987 I next Council meeting, if not the Council will proceed with Lake Animal Care. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Comprehensive Land Use Plan Amendment - Mr. Marier asked how Met Council was approached with the Comp Plan Amendment. There was discussion about the concern Met Council has regarding density in the Comp Plan Amendment. Mr. Schumacher said he has contacted Ms. Mary Hauser, the Met Council representative in this area and she has agreed to meet with the Council and staff regarding this issue. If this City does not agree to give an extension of time to Met Council for their consideration of our Amendment the Met Council will be forced to give their comments on the Amendment and these comments are likely to be unfavorable. Mr. Reinert expressed his displeasure with Met Council. Mr. Schumacher said he felt that since Ms. Hauser was present when the staff discussed the Amendment with Mr. Shetler of Met Council and Mr. Shelter had indicated that he did not see any problem with what Lino Lakes was proposing, this would work in favor of the City. The Met Council also complimented Lino Lakes for involving the citizens in the formation of the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Bisel felt that this City should seriously consider joining Ham Lake at their meeting on June 17, 1987 when they consider the role of Met Council. I It was decided to meet with Ms. Hauser at 4:30 P.M. at the Lino Lakes City hall. Noxious Weeds - Mr. Marier noted that the farmers in the area of Rehbein's Peltier View Plat were concerned because there has been no attempt to get rid of the weeds growing in the platted area. Mr. Schumacher explained that notices were sent to the landowner and the Weed Inspector has also been notified. If the problem is not cleared up at the end of the ten day notice given in the notices, the City will spray and bill the landowner. Update, Roland Ford - Mr. Kluegel informed the Council that the County has not started proceedings against Mr. Ford. NEW BUSINESS St. Joseph's Catholic Church Charitable Gambling License - Mayor Benson noted receipt of St. Joseph's application for a gambling license. Centerville Drainage - Mr. Schumacher noted that RCWD has prepared a study to determine what the problem is and what should be done to prevent further flooding in the area of LaMotte Road. It has been determined that a total ditch cleaning is necessary from Centerville's PAGE 15 148 COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 8, 1987 Center Oaks to Centerville Lake. Mr. Schumacher has met with Mrs. Langfeld, RCWD and the Anoka County Parks Department and each agency along with Lino Lakes and Centerville will share in the cost of cleaning this ditch. Mr. Schumacher was asked to thank RCWD in that this problem will be solved. Mr. Schumacher told the Council that the project will probably cost under $10,000 unless easements have to be purchased. Policy Regarding Driveway Aprons or Approaches - Mr. Schumacher explained that the County has upgraded Sunset Road and has replaced driveway aprons on both sides of the street. There is a problem concerning a Lino Lakes resident who had two driveways onto his property prior to the reconstruction of Sunset Road. The County has replaced one driveway apron but has asked the City to establish a policy regarding more than one driveway apron. It was decided to let the County know that this City does not have a policy and the County can negotiate with the resident if they so desire. Mr. Davidson suggested that when this City does establish a guideline for this situation, they might take into consideration if the lot can be divided and another residence established. League Conference - Mrs. Anderson asked for a final decision on who would be attending the Conference. Mr. Bisel and Mr. Reinert will be attending. Mayor Benson said he could not make it for the entire conference but may take in some seminars. Mr. Davidson invited all Council Members who were attending the Conference to join him for dinner at Michaels in Rochester. Mr. Bohjanen moved to adjourn at 9:23 P.M. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. These minutes were considered and approved at a regular council meeting on June 22 1987. MAR L 0 G. ANDERSON BE AMIN CLERK TREASURER IAYOR PAGE 16 G. ENSON
