OPEN MIKE
Gary Dahl, 216 Ulmer Drive -- Mr. Dahl addressed the Council regarding
a proposed outdoor music amphitheater scheduled for construction in
the City of Blaine very near the Lino Lakes western boundary with
Blaine. Mr. Dahl urged this City Council to take a good look at this
proposal with the idea of trying to stop the construction or at the
very least establishing controls. He explained that this facility is
proposed to seat about 20,000 people with parking for about 7,200
cars. Concerts will be presented from mid-May through mid-Septemberil

Mr. Schumacher explained he h:.d lust ece i ve'd an Environmental
Assessment Worksheet, JAW) f um Blaine . ;t _ un Friday. is of vet
has not had a chance to review the document and the Council h s nei
yet received a copy.
1F. Reinert said he had recently read r,e_wp;ipe'r articles about this
facility and it seemed to him that something is already put in place
behind the scenes and has only recently surfaced. He suggested t.h.:it
the residents contact County Commissioner, Margaret Langfeld to
determine what her position is on the matter since this will require
some County expenditures.
Mr. Dahl explained that this facility will greatly affect Lino Lake:
and he felt this City should have some input especially to the
Metropolitan Council since they must review the proposal.
Mr. Schumacher explained that the EAW will he given to the City
Planner and he will review it and make recommendations for this
Council to follow. He felt it would not be appropriate for the
Council to comment until it is determined what affect the f:tcil
will have on Lino Lakes.
Mr. Dahl explained that the Lino Lakes citizens he has contacted fe =1 t
that they have little impact on matters such as this, however this
Council could have a greater impact especially with Met Council. He
asked the Council to express their opposition.
Mr. Reinert asked Mir. Hawkins if there were any laws that would
require another city to notify an adjoining city when a facility such
as this is proposed. yr. Hawkins said no, notification must he made
when environmental laws are concerned. Mr. Reinert noted that when
Blaine was working to attract :the race track, Blaine officials were
before this Council requesting support, why didn't they do the sane
for this facility? Mr. Bise_i asked who is supporting this facility.
Mr. Dahl explained that it is supported by 10.5 million dollars of
private money and about. 3.5 million dollars of tax increment financing
by Blaine.
Mary Schmuland, 212 Ulmer Drive - Mrs. Schmuland expressed concern
that Blaine was establishing this facility without even consulting
Lino Lakes and addressing the concerns of the neighboring c.i t izens.
The citizens are overwhelmingly opposed to this facility. Petitions
are now being circulated and she said the citizens want to know what
this Council will do to protect Lino Lakes citizens.

COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 10,. 1987
Mr. Bohjanen asked if financing, policing and scree_ ts have been
addressed. Mr. Schumacher explained that_ he has not_ had a chance 1
review the proposal.
Don Baclter, 11251 National Street, explained That illaine is trying lo
avoid making the environmental study by proposing two sites breaking
up the proposal into ;item so that a study would not be required.
Blaine is sayin . that the second site is only an extension of Lochness
Park when in fact it will be used for additional parking.
Pam Maas, 10211 National Street, noted that this facility was proposed
for Savage and was not approved for that location. The area citizens
are now being notified by means of a flyer in their mailboxes.
Mayor Benson asked the citizens to contact Mrs. Langfeld and the City
will do the same. This proposal is being forwarded to the City
Planner and then will be brought to the Planning and Zoning Board.
CONSIDERATION AND REVIEW OF THE 1986 AUDIT - ROB TAUTGES
Mr. Tautges presented the 1986 audit to the Council and reviewed the
management letter noting areas of concern and areas of improvement.
He noted that 720 of the City's receipts come from either state or
federal sources. He suggested that the City closely monitor all
legislation that would affect these funding sources to see that the
are protected.
Mr. Tautges suggested that the City establish an investment policy.
This policy would address investing parameters in relation to
security, liquidity, yield and risk. Mr. Reinert asked that Mr.
Schumacher and Mr. Tautges put together a presentation for the
Council. Mr. Schumacher said he felt this was not high priority since
there is not much to invest. Mr. Reinert said this City should make
all investments count and a policy would give firm direction on the
matter.
Other matters addressed by Mr. Tautges were accounting for assessments
to provide assurance that all assessments are properly placed on the
tax rolls and received in a timely manner, monitoring property tax
collection and possibly increasing the maintenance allotment from the
MSA funds. He said the City is moving in a positive manner regarding
the General Fund in that the fund balance continues to grow each year
and grew significantly this past year.
Mr. Reinert noted that there were a number of summary items addressed
in the management report and suggested that the Council hold a special
meeting to address these items. Mr. Schumacher said that the staff
has already started to -implement some of the suggestions but a special

Mayor Benson asked Mr. Tautges to assess the ovf'rai 1 ilnanci pic'.
of Lino Lakes. Mr. Tautges said the overall picture regarding the
General Fund was 100% improved over four years ago ard recommended
that the Council continue building the reserve balance in this fund.
He noted that the City is in a ve1'y sound position but noted that with
a funding partner such as the State of Minnesota, the City should
remain cautious since the State can change its rules anytime. He
further suggested that the City let the legislature know its funding
needs.
Mayor Benson thanked Mr. Taugt es for coming this evening.
FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 17 -- 87, CONCERNING BUILDING STANDARDS
IN COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS
The Council at the July 27th meeting instructed that the proposed pole
barn ordinance be amended by Mr. Schumacher and Mr. Miller the City
Planner. Mr. Miller has prepared a list of eight changes and in his
memorandum to the Council dated July 31, 1987 explained what these
changes will accomplish. Mr. Schumacher did outline these changes for
the Council. ,Mr. Kluegel said he would not have a problem with t1.';
changes. Mr. Bisel noted that this proposal would allow existing pole
structures to be increased by 50% and the Council could require
certain enhancements to be made at the time it is enlarged. He also
asked if this ordinance will improve the type of construction in Lino
Lakes and how will this improve the business climate? Mr. Schumacher
said this probably will not be known for four or five years.
Mr. Bisel moved to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 17 - 87
and dispense with the reading. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion.
Motion carried unanimously.

by Mr. Bisel would be addressed under the conditional use permit
section of the particular zoning district. Mr. Hawkins agreed that
another area of the Zoning Ordinance would address the use of the
yards. Mr. Reinert was concerned about controlling storage yards and
Mr. Schumacher said the Council would have control because a
conditional use hermit would be required.
Mr. Reinert moved to approve the second reading of Ordinance No. 15 --

DISCUSSION OF SPEED ZONING ALL CITY STREETS - DON VOLK
Mr. Volk updated the Council on the matter of his request to MnDOT for
a speed study on all Lino Lakes streets. MnDOt has received the
request and has followed up with a letter dated June 11, 1987 with
information for the Council to consider. Mr. Volk asked the Council
if it is their intention to have all City streets posted with speed
zones. His letter to the Council indicates that the costs will be
considerable.
Mr. Stahlberg introduced Mr. Ralph Clare to the Council and noted that
he is the person most famliar with streets and street funding. Mayor
Benson asked Mr,. Clare what other cities do about posting speed zones.
Mr. Clare said normally they do not post speed limits on urban
streets.
Mr. Volk noted that presently all county and state streets are posted.
The main concern now is the streets that are city streets and serve as
PAGE 8
73
COUNC T L MEETING
AUGUST 1 0 , 1987
•
collector streets or arterial streets such as 4th Avenue, Holly Drip
and Fine Street. Mr. Volk recommended that speed studies Le conduct
on these streets and then post them accordingly. All other streets
would :fall into the urban classifications and the speed limit would
automatically be 30 mph.
Mayor Benson asked if the costs of speed signs could be billed to the
contractor of a new subdivision. Mr. Volk said this is now the
procedure, however he is concerned about collector streets and asked
for a policy on these already established streets.
Mr. Volk also explained that the Police Department would like to see
these streets posted so that drivers will know the speed limits and
there will not be such a problem when tickets for speeding are issued.
Mayor Benson asked Mr. Volk what he wanted in the way of direction on
this matter. Mr. Volk said he agreed with the MnDOT letter and
recommended that the Council adopt a policy for streets that fit the
state guidelines for 55 mphs.
Mr. Bisel moved to authorize a speed study on rural, arterial and
collector streets in Lino Lakes. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion.
Motion carried unanimously.
FIRST READING, ORDINANCE NO. 18 -- 87, AMENDING TREE DISEASES
Mr. Volk _introduced this Ordinance and noted that the Council had
received a copy that highlighted the proposed changes. He noted that
there is no longer state funding for removal of diseased trees and
property owners will now have to bear the costs of removing disease
trees.
Mr. Reinert moved to adopt the first reading of Ordinance No. 18 — 87
and dispense with the reading. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Mr.
Bisel was concerned about the fine imposed for transporting diseased
trees. Mr. Hawkins explained that the local forester will have to
make judgement calls regarding fines. If the violation is flagrant,
the fine should be imposed. Also only a portion of the fine can be
imposed. Mr. Volk noted that usually the violator is a tree hauling
business, not a local resident.
Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously.

COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 10, 1 3h7
All oak trees within the City diagnosed as having Oak Wilt shu
be isolated from neighboring healthy trees of the same- species by
chemical or mechanical disruption of common root grafts, to prevent
the root graft transmission of the Oak Wilt fungus.
To control the overland spread of Oak Wilt, the pruning of oaks
shall be avoided during the most susceptible months of May and June.
If wounding is unavoidable during this period, as in the aftermath of
a storm or when the tree interferes with utility lines, an asphalt
based tree wound dressing shall be applied immediately.
Trees of the Red Oak Group diagnosed as having Oak Wilt may be
girdled as soon as they are detected in order to speed drying and
reduce spore production. Girdling shall be done only in areas her a
weakened tree will not constitute a hazard to life and /or property
should it fall. Trees included in this group are commonly known as
Red Oak, Pin Oak, Scarlet Oak, and Black Oak.
To prevent Oak Wilt fungus spore production and control overland
spread of this disease, any diseased material of the Red Oak group
desired for use as fuel wood or to be salvaged for other purposes,
must be debarked or else completely covered by heavy plastic (4mil or
greater) until July lst.
Any branch or other material of the Red Oak group not to be
salvaged, shall be disposed of by burning, chipping, or removal to
authorized dump site. The City Forester shall advise accordingly.
Stumps of trees of the Red Oak group removed due to Oak Wilt,
shall be completely covered, removed, or debarked to the gound -line to
eliminate all possibilities of spore formation and overland disease
spread.
Trees of the White Oak group (ie. White Oak, Bur Oak) diagnosed
as having Oak Wilt should be isolated by root graft disruption, as
previously stated. Diseased material originating from such trees will
not support spore formation and salvaged material therefore will not
require special treatment to control overland disease spread.
Standing trees of this group showing symptoms of minor Oak Wilt
infection may have such infection successfully removed by selective
pruning. The City Forester will advise accordingly.
902.06 Transporting Elm and Oak Wood Prohibited. It is
unlawful for any person to transport within the City any hark- -bearing
elm or oak wood without having obtained a permit from the City
Forester. The City Forester shall grant such permits only when the
purposes of this ordinance will he served thereof.

DISCUSSION OF THE LINO LAKES COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS /METRO
COUNCIL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
Mr. Schumacher told the Council that staff met with Met Council
representatives on July 23rd and presented Lino Lake's arguments and
reasons for the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendments. On
July 30th staff again met with Met Council and they gave their
arguments and reasons for their requirements. He gave the Council
minutes of this meeting. Mr. Schumacher pointed out the major area of
discussion is where Lino Lakes is proposing one acre subdivisions.
Another area of disagreement is the southeast corner of Lino Lakes
where two and one half acre subdivisions are proposed. Met Council is
not supportive of these two area of the Comp Plan Amendments and are
holding to four housing units per forty acres. Met Council has
suggested that Lino Lakes designate the proposed one acre subdivision
area as urban service district. This would mean that some area already
designated as urban service district would have to be traded for this
area. Mr. Schumacher told the Council this issue received a great
deal of attention at this meeting. He also met with Mary Hauser and
the Met Council Planner after the regular meeting and further
discussed this issue.
Mr. Schumacher told the Council that the proposed Comp Plan Amendments
can be left as they are currently drafted. The ramification would be
that Met Council would not approve FHA financing on any new
construction.
PACE 12

COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 10, 1Y?
Mayor Benson noted that the Task Force worked a long time on the
proposed amendments and felt that. the City should continue with the
proposed Comp Flan until something dramatic happens.
Mr. Stahlberg used the overhead projector and pointed out the area
designated as one acre lots. He noted that it contained about 170
acres. He indicated areas that could be traded if the Council wished
to designate this area as part of the urban sewer district. In the
future if the City finds that the area that was traded is needed for
development, the City can then go back to Met Council and point out a
need for enlarging the sewer area designation for Lino Lakes or ask
for that area to be returned. Mayor Benson expressed concern about
getting the sewer to that area if it were to be designated urban
sewer. Mr. Stahlberg said the area would be set aside now and when it
looks feasible, then extend the sewer.
After further discussion, Mr. Bisel moved to give Mr. Schumacher -
authorization to trade the area pointed out by Mr. Stahlberg in the
urban service district for the area designated by Mr. Stahlberg as one
acre subdivision as suggested by Met Council. The southeast corner of
Lino Lakes designated as two and one half acre subdivision would
remain in the Comp Plan even though FHA financing may not be available
to the potential home builder. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Mr.
Joyer from the audience asked for clarification of the area.
Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Lindquist from the audience congratulated the Council for their
decision. He noted he owned land in the southeast corner of Lino Lakes
and was looking at subdividing.

CONSIDERATION OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION
TO ACCEPT COOPERS AND LYBRAND'S' STRATEGIC PLANNING PROPOSAL
Mr. Schumacher explained that the Economic Development Committee has
met several times and feel that to do their job properly they need a
strategic plan for economic development. The committee has accepted
proposals from several companies and recommends that the Council
accept the Coopers and Lybrand proposal. Mr. Bisel said this proposal
would give the Council a chance to be pro- active instead of re- active.
Mayor Benson said he felt the Council should support the Economic
Development Committee in their efforts. Mr. Reinert.notecl that
several years ago the Council commissioned a market analysis study for
Lino Lakes. Mr. Schumacher said this will be incorporated into the
Coopers and Lybrand proposal.
Mr. Bisel proved to approve the recommendation of the Economic
Development Committee and use Coopers and Lybrand to help assist the
