ing the upgrading of 4th Avenue and cleaning of County Ditch #22,
however, this meeting is called to fulfill the requirements of the
state statutes and the Lino Lakes City Charter. Mr. Stahlberg out-
lined what has occurred to date regarding this project.
Mr. Stahlberg noted that about 46% of the drainage on the project
or approximately $80,000.00 to $90,000.00 does not qualify for state
aid funding. All or a portion of this amount will be assessed to
the property owners.

Mr. Cheesebrough - 7655 -4th Avenue asked about assessments. Mayor
IBenson explained this was not an assessment hearing, just an improve-
ment hearing and the exact assessment has not been decided. However,
the Council has considered an assessment of $500.00 for each property.
Mr. Davidson outlined how the ditch cleaning project will be financed
including $10,000.00 from Anoka County and $9,600.00 from RCWD. Since
there is unfinished work in Sherwood Green there is an anticipated
assessment of $500.00 per lot in that area as well as along 4th Avenue.
Julie LeBlond - 7865 -4th Avenue - Mrs. LeBlond read a statement re-
garding the proposed easement over her property to County Ditch #22.
She and her husband have met with the City Engineer and City Attor-
ney to resolve the issues raised by this proposed easement and its
effect on their property should they decide to subdivide in the fut-
ure. She felt that this was not a standard situation and asked the
Council to resolve the issue and insure they will have no significant
loss. Mr. Hawkins described the result of the meeting. The City
Engineer had suggested placing a street over the drainage pipe so
that there would not be a loss of property at the time of subdivis-
ion. The Engineer will have further information for the LeBlond's
in two or three days.
Don Hoeft Representing Molin Concrete and the Victoria Company -
Mr. Hoeft explained the notice received by his clients indicated the
total cost of the project was $731,000.00. He has heard tonight that
possibly $80,000.00 to $90,000.00 will not be funded by the state
aid fund and could be assessed to the property owners. He asked if
the total cost of the project included easement acquisition. Mr.
Stahlberg said there was an estimated amount in this figure for ease-
ment acquisition. If easement acquisition costs are higher than est-
imated, the -total cost to be assessed could be higher..
Mr. Hoeft asked if this drainage project goes beyond the 4th Avenue,
Sherwood Green area. Mr. Davidson explained that this watershed-area
extends north into Columbus Township and west into Blaine. This pro-
posed project is not designed to handle additional flow from these
areas, only to manage the waters already in the area. The County
engineer has told the Council that when Main Street is improved in
1987 the drainage from the north will go west into that ditch system.
The improvement in the drainage south of Main Street is designed to
benefit that area only.
Mr. Hoeft asked what will be assessed to the Victoria Company and Molin
Concrete? Mayor Benson explained this is not an assessment hearing.
When final costs are known an assessment hearing will be held and
final assessments will be known. At this time an estimated assess-
ment figure is $500.00 per lot.

Mr. Hoeft explained that RCWD has required that Molin Concrete in-
stall a dike so that there is no water flowing off of their property.
e said it would be difficult to show that this project would bene-
fit Molin Concrete.
r. Goldade questioned the method the properties were appraised for
easement acquisition. Mr. Hawkins said Mr. Goldade could address
this issue at the court proceedings.
Mr. Goldade asked if the City will acquire properties along 4th Avenue
if the property goes tax forfeit. Mayor Benson said he was not aware
of any tax delinquent properties but this will be checked further.
Mr. Goldade said the appraiser has never been to his property although
his wife was waiting at the appointed time. Mr. Hawkins said he would
arrange to have the appraiser come to his residence.
Shirley Wise - Mrs. Wise asked if there will be excavating near Williams
Pipeline. Mr. Stahlberg said Williams Pipeline Company will be notified
by the contractor when construction begins.
Mr. Marier moved to close the public hearing at 7:50 P.M. Mr. Bohjanen
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Benson told the audience the public hearing for assessments will
be held when costs are known.
1 SSESSMENT HEARING - SUNSET ROAD,BLAINE - RESOLUTION #40 - 86
Mr. Stahlberg explained the background on this improvement project.
There will be a joint powers agreement between Lino Lakes and the
City of Blaine.
The improvement- consists of street,- curb, - gutter and driveway -. aprons__
that will be installed by the County. The proposed assessment _for =this
part of the improvement will be approximately $1,030.00 for each -of
the thirty four lots. The City of Blaine wll be installing sanitary
sewer and municipal water to each of the thirty four lots at a cost
of approximately $4,225.00 per lot. Of the •six lots on the north,
the south three will receive sewer service only and the north lots
will receive no services. The assessment: for the south three lots
have not been determined.
Vernon Swanson - Mr. Swanson asked if the actual cost was known.
He had heard several different figures. Mr. Stahlberg said the ass -
ment will be very close to $4,300.00.
Question from the audience; when will construction start? Mr.. Stahl -
berg explained that some work has begun on the north -end and the
Ilualance will start shortly.
estion form the audience; what happens if the road freezes before
he work is completed? The road is in very bad shape and people are

Igetting stuck and are unable to drive to their homes. Mr. Stahlberg
will tell Blaine of the concerns listed tonight and see if anything
can be done to make the street passable.
Mr. Volk explained that Anoka County is required to provide a bit-
uminous surface for the winter months. Therefore if the utility in-
stallation is not complete a temporary surface will be provided.
Question from the audience; Are they liable for a resident getting
to his home? Mayor Benson staid the City Engineer would take this
matter up with Blaine and Anoka County.
Has there been arrangements made for paying the sewer and water costs
through assessments on the property? Mr. Schumacher explained the
City will bond for and assess the $1,030.00 per lot street costs.
If the Council agrees and if 15 to 20 residents are interested, the
City could bond and assess the sewer and water costs. The Clerk
was asked to contact each resident and ask, if they wish to have the
sewer and water costs of approximately $4,225.00 assessed to their
property.

PLANNING AND ZONING REPORT = PETE KLUEGEL
A. First Reading, Ordinance #06- 86 - ny. Kluegel explained that
passage of this- ordinance -would allow -car -wash facilities in every -
area zoned General Business on a- conditional - use-basis. _This had
been considered-by the Council previously then returned to the
-- -
Planning and Zoning Board for further information. The Planning
and Zoning Board felt that the information requested was not approp-
riate at this time since they are not looking at any particular inst-
allation only at a code change.
Mr. Bisel was concerned about ground water contamination from car
washes without sanitary sewer. Mayor Benson suggested rewriting the
proposed ordinance to limit car washes in the General Business zone
to areas with sanitary sewer.
After further discussion, Mr. Bisel moved to return this ordinance
for further study and have it rewritten to include car washes in Gen-
eral Business Zones in sewered areas only. Mr. Marier seconded the
motion.

A gentleman from the audience gave the Council some information regard-
ing a car wash in St. Cloud that was built in an unsewered area and

explained how it met PCA standards. Mayor Benson asked that written
Imaterial on this installation be given to the Clerk.
Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - NICHOLSON PLUMBING - SITE
AND BUILDING PLAN REVIEW - PETE KLUEGEL
Mr. Kluegel explained that Mr. Nicholson is requesting a conditional
use permit for exterior storage and site and building plan approval
for an office and shop building for his plumbing business in the Lino
Industrial Park. A six foot high chain length fence with screening
is a requirement and the Planning and Zoning Board requested that
the exterior storage be limited to a maximum of two pick up loads
of miscellanous salvage associated with the business. The concerns
-of the City Planner and Engineer have been addressed.
Mr. Reinert explained that exterior storage is a problem in various
areas of the City and asked if this condition on the permit will be
a problem to enforce. Mr. Kluegel did not feel it would be a problem.
Mr. Nicholson explained the types of materials that would be stored
and that would be disposed of once or twice a month. He also sugg-
ested he could get a dumpster for the materials.
IlkThere was no one in the audience to speak for or against this request.
r. Kluegel explained the Planning and Zoning Board did approve Mr.
icholson's request with the condition that the exterior storage be
restricted to vehicles used in the business and a maximum of two pick
up loads of miscellanous salvage items associated with the business.
After further discussion it was decided not to approve the exterior
storage request and then there - -would not be a need for the conditional
use permit. Mr. Nicholson was-told. that if there were complaints about exterior storage Mr. Kluegel would investigate. However if he did
remove that salvage items once or twice a month and use a dumpster
it was not likely there would be complaints.
Mr. Bisel moved to close the public hearing at 8:31 P.M. Mr. Bohjanen
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Marier moved to deny the conditional usepermit and allow. Mr. Nich-
olson to dispose of the scrap material as necessary. Mr. Bohjanen
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Bisel moved to approve the site and building plan request with the
stipulation presented by the Planning and Zoning Board to include
landscaping and brick front on the building. Mr. Bohjanen seconded
he motion. Motion carried unanimously.

,500 cubic yards of sand fill onto a lot at 6491 LaMotte Drive to
epare the lot for construction of a new house without obtaining
mining permit. This material was hauled in this spring and there
was damage to the street. Mr. Nelson has repaired the street to Mr.
Volk's satisfaction and has requested approval of a conditional use
permit for the sand fill. The City Engineer has reviewed the site
and has prepared his recommendations.
Patrick McKasy - 6933 LaMotte Drive told the Council that this is
the last buildable lot on the street and was concerned that a house
was going to be built that did not fit into the neighborhood. He
was also concerned that run off from this lot would damage his prop-
erty. He submitted a picture of the lot to the Council as well as
a petition stating the neighbors' opposition to the conditional use
permit.
Mike Mastro - 1553 LaMotte Drive indicated several aspects of the
situation that concerned him. Mr. Mastro felt the street was not
repaired satisfactorily and the lot was built up 10 - 15 feet above
the surrounding property, therefore the house would be much higher
than the surrounding houses. HP asked if there was a code restrict-
ing new construction so that it would fit into the neighborhood. Mr.
Kluegel described the proposed new house and said there is such a
Iode and he will see that the new house fits the neighbrohood.
ayor Benson asked if elevations and a contour plan have been presented.
Mr. Klbegelsaid yes and the engineers letter indicated some items for
Mr. Nelson to complete such as soil erosion control.
After further discussion, Mr._Marier. moved to direct the City.Engineer
and the Public Works Director to view the area and report back to the
Council and to continue the public hearing to October 13, 1986 at
-8;00 P.M. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unani-
mously.
Mayor Benson asked that the neighbors questions and concerns be fun-
neled to the City Engineer or Public Works Director.
The Council took a 10 minute recess at 8:50 P.M.
PUBLIC HEARING - AMENDED CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - PAUL WOLTERS (A -WELL)
PETE KLUEGEL)
Mayor Benson opened the public hearing at 8:58 P.M. Mr. Kluegel explained
Mr. Wolters.is requesting - an-amended conditional use permit for construc-
tion of an addition to his storage building and an addition to his of-
111 ice building. Mayor Benson asked if Mr. Wolters has fulfilled his re-
uirements for the current conditional use permit. Mr. Kluegel said
es. Mr. Bohjanen asked if there was enough parking areas. Mr. Wolters
aid yes and the new construction will not take any of the parking area.
Mr. Schumacher asked if all the screening and landscaping have been com-
pleted. Mr. Kluegel said yes.

r. Schumacher asked Mr. Kluegel to outline the exterior storage
ortion of Mr. Volters conditional use permit. Mr. Kluegel explained
that Mr. Wolters is allowed up to ten vehicles, but no other parts
or products. The first conditional use permit stated there would be
no exterior storage on the south side of the building.
The Council expressed concern regarding the appearance of the new
construction and the need for a landscape plan. Mr. Wolters said
he would construct an entry to the office building and dress up the
front of the building by placing brick in the front of the building
as well as enlarging the windows and putting cedar on the old build-
ing.
Air. Bisel moved to close the public hearing at 9:12 P.M. Mr. Marier
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Bohjanen moved to approve the amended conditional use permit with
the stipulation that the front be bricked up to just below the windows
with cedar stakes along the full length of the building and dress up
the entry with brick or pillars and conform to the site plan and com-
plete the landscaping to include the required size trees and to in-
clude the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Marier
seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
litMPROVEMENT HEARING - 80TH STREET - RON STAHLBERG
ayor Benson opened the public hearing at 9:15 P.M. Mr. Stahlberg
described the background of this project. The City will replace the
bridge over Hardwood Creek using MSA bridge funds and the turn of the
street over to Anoka-County. The County will reconstruct the street
to their standards. The City's responsibility is to provide the re-
quired right -of- way._. Property owners will be asked to give the re-
quired right -of -way to the City.
Question from the audience - Is it possible to get the required right -
of -way from only one side of the street? Mr. Davidson said no. Mr.
Stahlberg said there will be some trees removed for this project.
Mr. Marier said that originally it had been discussed regarding keeping
the original 66 feet right -of -way. Mr. Davidson said the improvement
will have to meet state aid requirements to be eligible for funding,
therefore additional easements will be required. He said the residents
could talk to the County Engineer to determine if the plan can be
varied so as not to remove trees.
Question from the audience - Are we going to be 'assessed? Mr. Davidson
explained that the present policy is no assessment.
IIIrs. Carlson pointed out an area where culverts were placed under
0th Street. Mr. Stahlberg explained the culverts will probably be
eplaced. Mrs. Carlson questioned if it was legal for the City to
dump more water onto her property.

r. Houle explained a problem that occurred with his property when
he freeway was constructed. Mr. Davidson suggested that this be
orked out with the County Engineer. Question from the audience -
hen will construction take place? Mr. Davidson explained it is
scheduled for spring of 1987. Mr. Marier explained if the right -of-
way is not given and the City will have to purchase it, then there
will be assessments.
There was a question regarding the width of the ditches. Mr. David-
son said the final designs have not been completed and this would
not be known until then.
Mr. Reinert moved to close the public hearing at 9:37 P.M. Mr. Boh-
janen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
IMPROVEMENT HEARING - WEST SHADOW LAKE DRIVE - RON STAHLBERG
Mayor Benson opened the public hearing at 9:38 P.M. Mr. Stahlberg
explained the background of this project; the spring flooding and the
petition to have the City improve the area so that the street would .
not be flooded again.
Mr. Stahlberg explained that the proposed plan is to keep to the pres-
ent right -of -way as much as possible and yet still meet MSA guidelines
.he plan includes raising the road at the creek approximately two feet
igher than the high water on Reshanau Lake. Permits will be required
rom DNR and RCWD. Mr. Volk had performed a traffic count one week-
end earlier this summer and found that 1400 vehicles used that road
on that particular two -day weekend. There was discussion regarding
Anoka County contributing to the financing of the improvements. Mr.
Schumacher explained the County is planning to provide their own_ac --
cess to the golf-Course-in two-or three-years.-7-He did -= not :know_s -f
the County will :terminate -the -golf - course access- from-West-:-Shadow-
Lake Drive.
Pat Smith - Mr. Smith asked if there was anything the City could do
to encourage the County to terminate the West Shadow Lake Drive ac-
cess to the golf course. Mr. Davidson said nothing, West Shadow is
a-public street.
Question from the audience - Will there be any assessments? Mayor
Benson said the policy has not yet been determined, but it is likely
there will be some assessments.
From the audience - Don't you think this is overkill, why not just
raise-the road? Mayor Benson explained if the City wishes to finance
the improvement with MSA funds the improvement must conform to MSA
Itandards. Mr. Davidson said the City could raise the road but then
he entire cost would have to be assessed back to the residents.
ayor Benson noted that the proposed new entry to the golf course was
under water for a longer period of time last spring than was West
Shadow Lake Drive.

IFrom the audience - What was the cost of the shuttle service this
spring? Mr. Volk said approximately $15,000.00. It was noted that
the shuttle service was a lot cheaper than the proposed improvement.
Mayor Benson stated the proposed improvement was in response to the
petition from some of the residents of West Shadow Lake Drive. He
also noted that spring flooding causes further problems in that area
in that emergency vehicles may not be able to get to a fire or med-
ical emergency.
Mr. Smith said that at the meeting this spring it was noted that Lino
Lakes has $300,000.00 in the MSA road fund that must be spent or Lino
Lakes will lose it. Mr. Stahlberg explained there are other areas
eligible for MSA funding, the money will not be lost.
George Gatwald - Mr. Gatwald' felt there were other areas of the City
where this money could be used for the benefit of more people. He
said it was not practical to install curb and gutters in an area
where there is no municipal services when the area will have to be
reconstructed when such services become available. He also said the
-City is now proposing to assess the residents for an improvement on
a road that was built by Jandric and never cost the City anything.
He noted the City has never assessed anyone for streets before.
Also, Mr. Gatwald noted that the street is a dead end road, there
IIwill never be more than sixty -seven residences and could not see a
eason for a nine ton road.
r. Reinert noted the Council was acting in response to the citizens
concerns. If the solution is too expensive and the people do not want
to proceed with the improvement, the Council will comply.
Question from the audience - Is it likely that sewer and water will be
extended into the West-Shadow Lake area? Mayor Benson_said it would
be difficult to tell, however he felt if services were needed they
would be extended from Black Duck Drive along the north side of the
lake.
Ron Jaworski - Is the City obligated to provide shuttle service during
flooding? Mayor Benson said no but probably would.
Question from the audience - Only about one- third of the proposed
improvement was under water, why are you proposing to improve such a
long stretch. Mr. Davidson explained a landing area was needed to
achieve the elevation necessary to keep the road above the high water
line.
Pat Smith explained the interest of the petition was to find a cost
effective plan to solve the flooding problem.
I uestion from the audience - Does the City have any influence with RCWD
o convince them that Lino Lakes should not kge a holding pond for
his entire area. Mayor Benson said no and explained the problems
downstream.

IIs there any possibility of using a park road for an emergency exit.
Mr. Volk explained that the park roads are at the same elevation as
West Shadow Lake Drive and were under water this spring too.
Pat Smith asked if the County would participate in the cost of the
proposed improvement? Mayor Benson said the County will be asked
to participate but there is no guarantee.
Mr. Smith said he had a meeting with the RCWD engineer regarding con-
trolling the lake level. Mr. Schumacher indicated that RCWD is prepar-
ing a study of the area to determine if anything can be done to con-
trol the lake level. He will check to see what the status of this
study is.
If construction occurs, how will the residents get to their homes?
One possible entry is through the County Park. Mr. Smith suggested
waiting to start construction until the County has their entry com-
pleted.
Who would be assessed? Mayor Benson said all property owners along
West Shadow Lake Drive.
A member of the audience said he did not feel this was the solution
to the problem. It will not solve the flooding of the houses on the
horeline.
ItBenson said it appears that the residents proposal is not
realistic and the City should__look_for a viable alternative. The
City will be looking at a change to the proposal.
Mr. Marier moved to close the public hearing at 10:22 P.M. Mr. Rein-
ert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Bisel moved to extend the meeting time until the business at
hand is finished. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF THE PROPOSALS FOR AMBULANCE SERVICE
This item had been considered at the September 8, 1986 Council Meet -
ing and was tabled for further information.
Mr.I■leal Benjamin, Lino Lakes Fire Commissioner, read a letter regard-
ing this proposal from Terry Wold, District Fire Chief. The firemen
voted to retain. Health Central as ambulance provider and_felt it was
not necessary to base an ambulance service in either fire hall. The
fire chief had expressed satisfaction with the emergency training
f all the police officers and firemen. He would rather fine tune
he system already in place. At best, the fire chief felt these pro -
osals were premature.

Schumacher noted he had sent a letter to the Fire District
out this issue and they responded by saying this was a Council
licy. He was curious to know why the Fire District has changed
Ls attitude. Mr. Benjamin said they considered this further be-
cause they were presented with the proposals.
Mr. Volk expressed his personal view that the police and fire person-
nel should continue their emergency training, but having the ambu-
lance based in town should cut response time drastically and what
should be considered is how fast that ambulance can reach the emer-
gency scene.
Mr. Bisel expressed his concern regarding the southeast portion of
Lino Lakes. He has talked to another provider regarding_providing
service to that area. Mr..Reinert felt this was an important issue
and asked for further time to study all concerns. Mr. Marier was
concerned because there has been a lot of talk but nothing has been
done. He is concerned about cutting response time and upgrading
emergency care services. Mr. Bisel suggested a representative of
911 to come to a Council Meeting and address the issue.
Mr. Bisel said he would go to Anoka County and check this problem
with Central Communications. He asked assuming that the service
would be added in the near furute, does the plans for remodeling
building include an area for ambulance. Mr. Volk will check
s.
The Council will discuss this matter further October 27, 1986 and
make a final decision.
