Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. OPEN MIKE Mrs. Helen LaFond, 5880 Rustic Lane - Mrs. LaFond presented a petition to the Council requesting the installation of a street light at the intersection of Rustic Lane and Glenview Drive. Mayor Benson accepted the petition and explained that the Council will deliver the request to Public Works Director, Don Volk and he will ask NSP to install the light. Mrs. LaFond will be kept informed regarding this request. CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT - LAKEVIEW PLACE PAGE 1 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 25, 1988 Mayor Benson explained the background on this item noting that the last time this was on the agenda the Council had requested two items to be addressed by the staff. The first item was the possible extension of the platted cul -de -sac to the east to the City of Centerville border. The second item concerns the capacity of the lift station. Mr. Stahlberg explained that he has spent a considerable amount of time with the MWCC staff regarding the lift station. The past capacity problem stemmed from the controlled flow downstream. In 1986 MWCC completed construction that will allow the flow from the Centerville lift station at a faster rate during the periods of heavy rain. Mayor Benson noted receipt of a letter from the City of Centerville to Mr. Miller regarding whether the City of Centerville would extend LaMotte Circle if it were extended within the plat to the eastern border. The letter said that Centerville is not in favor of a commitment since development of this property is not scheduled until after the year 2000. Mr. Reinert asked Mr. Hawkins if this street were extended to the bordor of the plat, is there anything in the statutes that would require Centerville to connect to this street. Mr. Hawkins said there were not assurances. Mr. Stahlberg explained that the only assurance would be a joint powers agreement. Mr. Bohjanen asked if the street were extended to the south to the Regional Park area, would this also require a joint powers agreement for future extension. It was determined that a joint powers would be required. Mr. Bisel asked Mr. Torkildson what the term "County Road" meant on the section maps. Mr. Torkildson explained that at one time the Regional Park had considered putting the main entrance to the regional park in that area. There is now a new plan and layout. A lady from the audience asked if any member of the Council has been out to LaMotte Drive to view the proposed area for subdivsion. All the Council Members had visited the area. She expressed concern for safety of children in this area. She explained that she is a nurse and has watched families of injured children. She noted that the Council doesn't really know how much responsibility they have. She felt there was a good reason for the rule restricting the length of a cul -de -sac. PAGE 2 023 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 25, 1988 Mr. Mike Mastro, 1553 LaMotte Drive - Mr. Mastro said that he was concerned because the proposed walkway to Centerville Park from the new subdivision would encourage parking by park users on the cul -de -sac thereby increasing traffic into the Lino Lakes portion of LaMotte Drive. He also asked if the sewage coming from the new subdivision to LaMotte Drive would cause problems for residents at the end of LaMotte Drive. Mr. Stahlberg said sewage would not be a problem because of the size of the pipes. He noted other areas in Lino Lakes that have even larger situations than this. Mr. Bisel explained his concern was the traffic problem in the area. The road is narrow and people do not seem to realize that it is a dead end street. He asked about the capacity for the LaMotte Park in Lino Lakes. Mr. Schumacher explained that this is just a neighborhood park and will not be developed to attract users from outside this area. Mr. Bohjanen asked if there was any other possible way into the proposed subdivision besides LaMotte Drive. Mr. Stahlberg said that he and the City Planner have reviewed all the different alternatives presented by the developer and this is the best plan. Glen Simonson, 1566 LaMotte Drive - Mr. Simonson said he had checked with Anoka County Highway Department and LaMotte Drive does not meet any of their standards. He noted that cars can go 50 MPH on LaMotte Drive and this is a narrow road with fast traffic. Mr. Mastro also noted that the driving surface on the Centerville section of LaMotte Drive is narrower than in Lino Lakes and in addition there is traffic congestion caused by the Centerville Park. Mr. Bisel noted that there are other areas of Lino Lakes that have only one entrance /exit. He asked what the width of Black Duck Drive is compared to LaMotte Drive. Mr. Stahlberg guessed that Black Duck Drive is about 36 feet and has curbs and gutters, however West Shadow Lake Drive is narrower than LaMotte Drive and has more residential units. Mayor Benson noted that studies have confirmed that it is residents living in the area that drive the fastest. Mayor Benson explained that a great deal of testimony has been received regarding the variance application and the preliminary plat and the Council must take action. Mr. Hawkins told the Council that whatever action is taken must be supported. Mr. Bohjanen said he was concerned about the long cul -de -sac and the fact that there never will be another way into that area. Mr. Bisel wanted to be clear PAGE 3 024' COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 25, 1988 about who will pay the cost of the reconstruction of LaMotte Drive when it is necessary. Mr. Stahlberg said all benefitting property owners including the proposed new 22 lots in Lakeview Place. A gentleman asked if there was a problem in holding the cul -de -sac to the required 500 foot length. Mr. Mastro asked who would be monitoring the holding ponds, a homeowners association? Mr. Stahlberg explained the length of the cul -de -sac was up to the developer. Mr. Ressler explained that there will be no homeowners association and the holding ponds normally become the property of the municipality who then monitor them. A gentleman noted that his property is saturated with water for most of the summer. He asked what will prevent the ponds from keeping his property saturated. He asked if the ponds will be lined to keep the saturation from spreading from the ponds. Mr. Ressler said the ponds will not be lined. Mr. Stahlberg explained that the entire area has a high water table, but the ditch cleaning project and providing an outlet for the ditch will help alleviate the water problem in this entire area. The gentleman who asked what the problem was holding the cul -de -sac to 500 feet said this question was never answered. Mr. Ressler explained the original proposal for the subdivision. However, RCWD and Mr. Stahlberg did not agree that this was the best layout and the final proposal was developed and the vacant lot on LaMotte Drive was purchased. This method meets all the criteria of the City and also proposes the shortest cul -de -sac. He said he could see the point of view of the adjoining residents, however this is taking a parcel and generating the most taxes possible. He felt this was a unique corner of Lino Lakes. He asked if the residents would want a through street if Centerville allowed a trailer park or industrial park to develop between them and Centerville Road. A lady from the audience said if the variance was not passed the area would be a lot safer. She asked why does the variance have to be approved? She said she felt strongly that a shorter road and less lots would be safer and she also said she felt strongly that there should be two entrances into the area. Mr. Bohjanen asked how many lots would be lost if the street was extended to the border. Mr. Ressler said two or three. PAGE 4 025 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 25, 1988 Mr. Neal explained that there had been a fire near the end of LaMotte Drive and the fire equipment could not reach the area because a car was parked on the street. Mr. Reinert asked if another street did go in would it provide a place for emergency vehicles to turn around. Mr. Neal and Fire Chief Gay said this may help. Mr. Reinert said that this matter has now been discussed in great detail and he moved to grant a variance as proposed in conjunction with the plat and the reason being that the City did check with the City of Centerville and they did not indicate immediate plans to extend the street to Centerville Road; this motion is to include the six findings of fact outlined in the Planning and Zoning Minutes of February 10, 1988; the subdivision complies with the new zoning ordinance and does meet the spirit and intent of the new zoning ordinance. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Mr. Schumacher noted that the City Engineer has stated that the existing LaMotte Drive will have to be upgraded in the next two to three years. He asked for clarification about the reconstruction of the road. Mr. Stahlberg said it would be constructed to current standards with curbs and gutters and a full 32 foot roadway. Voting on the motion, motion carried with Mayor Benson voting yes and Mr. Bisel voting no. Mr. Reinert moved to approve the preliminary plat of Lakeview Place as presented with the reasons as stated in the previous motion, to include the seven items laid out by the City Engineer in his letter of March 22, 1988 with item seven being paramount and must be completed before the project is started and this item meets all the requirements of RCWD; to include the completion of the cleanup of Outlot I as outlined by Don Volk and Ron Stahlberg, Mrs. Anderson will research the records for this area; contact the St. Paul Water Department regarding continuing the cleanup on their property to the lake, TKDA will provide the cross sections and staking; negotiate with the contractor who will cleanout the south ditch to have him do this project as well. The develpment of Lakeview Place is contigent upon both areas being completely cleaned and restored. At the time the homes are offered for sale, ask the Police Department to give special attention to patrolling the area for speeding and parking violations and after the area is completely sold, have the area monitored so that there will be no safety problems. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. PAGE 5 026 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 25, 1988 The motion carried with Mr. Bisel voting no and Mayor Benson voting yes. SYNOPSIS OF 1987 HUNTING ISSUES WITHIN THE CITY Chief Campbell has prepared a memorandum to Mr. Schumacher dated April 5, 1988 regarding the past hunting season. He explained that the concern this past season was in regard to the special goose hunting season. He noted that most of the calls received by his department were informational calls, with a few trespassing calls. In summary he felt there has not been a big problem. Mr. Dave Rodahl of the DNR was with Chief Campbell. He felt the problem last year was that citizens were not aware of the early goose season. He noted that the early season did thin down the goose population and the intent of the early season was to get the birds before they migrated to urban areas. There may be another early season this year and he will let the City know as early as possible. Mayor Benson asked Chief Campbell if the City should start looking at adjusting the "no hunting" boundaries. Chief Campbell said not at this time and also noted that he felt the hunting ordinances were working well. Mr. Rodahl said the main concern is safety however the second problem is controlling the deer population. There is no hunting at all in Ramsey County and Lino Lakes is rural enough to attract the deer. Mr. McDonald, 6901 LaMotte Drive explained he had a problem with hunters in the bay area and hunters were shooting toward his house. The second concern was that hunters were parking on LaMotte Drive in his area and then walking into the Regional Park to hunt. Mr. Bohjanen asked if there were special requirements for hunting during the early goose season. Mr. Rodahl said rules and regulations were sent out with the permits. Mayor Benson said the problem in many instances is that when a violation occurs, the violator has disappeared before law authorities arrive. He asked how this situation should be handled in the future. There was no answer. Mr. Mastro asked what is the City's position on the proposed Vaughan Game Farm. Mr. Schumacher explained that further information is still forth coming from Mr. Vaughan. This will be brought to Council next month. PAGE 6 1 027 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 25, 1988 Mr. Bisel asked about a special hunting season for deer. He noted that cars are having a very good harvest this year. Mayor Benson thanked Chief Campbell and Mr. Rodahl for coming this evening. He asked Chief Campbell to monitor the hunting season this fall and give the Council an update early in the winter. CHAIN OF LAKES REGIONAL PARK Mr. David Torkildson, Anoka County Parks Director and Margaret Langfeld, Third Distrist County Commission were asked by Mr. Schumacher to appear this evening to outline the proposed development in the Chain of Lakes Regional Park. Mr. Torkildsori handed a map to the Council showing the development. He noted that he had appeared before the Park Board and outlined the development for them. The development currently planned is for forty tent sites, fifty six RV sites, underground water, dump station, self contained rest rooms, shower rooms, laundry facilities and a contact station. There will be a full time person with a RV or trailer for emergency purposes and night monitoring. Rangers will patrol evenings and weekends and there will be full -time park help during the day. Mayor Benson expressed concern that Lino Lakes Police will be called during the night and he was also concerned about fire calls. Mr. Torkildson explained that the park closes at 9:30 P.M. and the rangers will patrol until 2:00 A.M. The on -site person will contact the sheriff if there is a problem or the Lino Lakes Police if there is a life threatening situation. He noted that Bunker Park has the same facilities and there has been no problems there. Mayor Benson asked who uses these types of facilities. Mr. Torkildson explained it will be people from the Twin Cities area. They are allowed to stay only three days and expected that since there is not an exit from 35W there will not be many passing by using the facilities. Mr. Reinert asked about the boat access to George Watch Lake. Mr. Torkildson felt it will be used mostly as a conoe access for the present since the lake continues to die. He is hopeful that something can be done to restore the lakes and creeks in this area soon. He also noted that the shoreline will remain mostly untouched. PAGE 7 028 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 25, 1988 Chief Campbell explained his concern will be taking time from his officers. Mr. Torkildson explained that there will be rangers to handle most problems. Fire Chief Gay was concerned that police and fire have access in case of emergency. He also noted that if his department does respond, the funding comes from his budget. Mr. Torkildson said he would sit down with Chief Gay to work out a solution to funding service to the park. Mr. Reinert asked about funding for the police department if they respond to calls inside the park. Mr. Torkildson said he would also address this concern. Mr. Bisel expressed concern that as use of the park increases, local traffic will also increase. He asked about the County's feeling regarding an access to 35W. Mr. Torkildson said the ramp should have been built when the freeway was built and would support any effort to get federal funding for such an improvement. Mrs. Langfeld said that as the usage of the park increases, the County can then outline justification for the access to 35W. She said she would like to see close monitoring of the police and fire calls within the park. Mr. Torkildson said that the County is still working on establishing the main entrance to the park off of Lake Drive and Aqua Lane. This spring archeologists will survey the area and determine if road construction can proceed in the area. Mr. MacDonald asked how the County plans to control the use of non - licensed RV's in the park. Mr. Torkildson said they are prohibited unless they are licensed and using the parkways only. He explained the problems faced this year and explained they are being closely monitored. In addition next week the full contingent of rangers will be patrolling the park. Mr. Mastro asked how the County will monitor boat traffic. Mr. Torkildson said the only control is at the access point. This can be accomplished by limiting the parking area. However, the County did not have control over private home- owners on the lake. The patrol of the lake is assigned to the Sheriff's water patrol. Mayor Benson thanked Mrs. Langfeld and Mr. Torkildson for coming this evening and asked that they keep the Council updated on the possibility of bow hunting in the park this season. PAGE 8 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 25, 1988 PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD REPORT - PETE KLUEGEL Consideration of Ordinance No. 03 - 88, Temporary Truck Parking in Residential Areas, First Reading - Mr. Kluegel explained that for some time the Planning and Zoning Board and the City Council have discussed the issue of large truck parking in residential districts. The P & Z Board has prepared a proposed ordinance to deal with this problem. This ordinance would require a permit and would allow parking if the request meets seven conditions as outlined in the ordinance. The proposed ordinance would mean that there would be certain areas in Lino Lakes that truck parking would be entirely prohibited. Mr. Bisel explained the point was to allow the person who uses that type of a vehicle in his vocation to park the vehicle for short periods of time when the driver is home for the weekend or on a layover. Mr. Kluegel explained that there are currently about eight residences in Lino Lakes that would fit this ordinance. Mayor Benson expressed concern regarding item number one in that it does not have a time limit. Mr. Kluegel explained that the P & Z Board did discuss this but decided not to put a time limit on it. Mr. Kluegel explained that one of his concerns is a landowner that has more than one truck. Mr. Reinert noted that the ordinance did not contain a penalty. Mr. Hawkins explained that this ordinance is an amendment to Ordinance B and that Ordinance B contains penalty provisions. There was discussion regarding local contractors who keep large trucks at their residences. Mayor Benson felt this was not addressed in this ordinance. Mr. Reinert felt that they were not the issue in this ordinance and if there were complaints regarding local contractors they could be addressed at that time. Mr. Schumacher explained that many local contractors are "grandfathered in" and can continue to operate but not intensify their operation. He noted that this particular ordinance addresses eighteen wheelers only. Mr. Hawkins explained that the "grandfathered" businesses are non - conforming and that the "grandfathered" use continues with the land even if the land is sold. The non - conforming use must be discontinued for one year before it is considered no longer "grandfathered ". Mayor Benson asked if this ordinance is attacking what the Council really wanted attacked? Mr. Bisel explained it would eliminate the problem of tractor trailers being used for storage, signage etc. PAGE 9 0 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 25, 1988 There was additional discussion regarding placing a time limit on each permit. Mr. Bisel moved to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 03 - 88 and add to Section A, 1 "within a seven day period" and add to A, 7 "at a fee of $20.00 annually ". Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried with Mr. Reinert voting no and Mayor Benson voting yes. Mr. Hawkins noted that an unanimous vote would be required to pass the first reading since there are only four members. Mr. Reinert changed his vote to yes to insure that this ordinance would come back to the Council for a second reading. He explained that he has a problem with the possibility of this ordinance opening the City to new people who wish to park eighteen wheelers on their property. Motion declared passed. Mayor Benson said he would like to see an ordinance that would not impact or create further opportunities for some people. He would like further restrictions.

PAGE 11 A111 _ii_ Benj. n . •Benson, Mayor 032 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 25, 1988 . Anderson, Clerk- Treasurer Variance, Paul Irvine, Shoreland Setback - Mr. Irvine is considering purchasing the property at 7425 Peltier Lake Drive and is requesting a variance to build a garage and an addition to the house which is located within the Shoreland Management area. His purchase agreement is contigent upon acceptance of the variance request and the landowner has signed a document indicating that he is aware of Mr. Irvine's request for the variance. The P & Z Board did have one concern and that is that the neighbor was required to build his house outside of the Shoreland Management area. Mr. Irvine did check with this neighbor and found that the builder of the house has since moved and the new neighbor has no problem with this variance request. Mr. Bisel moved to approve application No. 88 - 10 contigent upon the closing of the property to Mr. Irvine. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried with Mr. Reinert abstaining. Mr. Kluegel told the Council that he has issued building permits for thirty nine new homes and noted that he has received many telephone calls regarding the sale of the Montain property. It appears that he will have a very busy season. Mayor Benson asked Mr. Kluegel about a new home under construction on Lantern Lane. It appears that there is a large dropoff between this new home and the home to the east. Mr. Kluegel explained that FHA requires that the builder maintain a certain basement elevation requiring this house to be built higher than the neighbor. A swale is being constructed between the two houses to be sure there is proper drainage. ENGINEER'S REPORT - RON STAHLBERG Update on Trunk Watermain Crossing - Mr. Stahlberg explained that the crossing was attempted again and it appeared that there might be a problem with the stability of Highway #49. Twin City Testing is now looking for the best construction method to take on this. Twin City Testing will be issuing a report on this shortly. Mr. Stahlberg will keep the Council informed on this matter. ATTORNEY'S REPORT - BILL HAWKINS PAGE 12 033 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 25, 1988 Mr. Hawkins did not have a report. CONSIDERATION OF ENTERING INTO AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND ANOKA COUNTY FOR ANNUAL ASSESSMENT SERVICES Mr. Schumacher explained that the Council has authorized him to proceed with entering into an agreement with Anoka County for providing assessment services for 1988 through 1989. He said he feels that Anoka County will do an excellent job for Lino Lakes and Mr. Leone, County Assessor would like to re- evaluate the entire City within a two month period. He would first do a quartile study and then proceed with a schedule based on the study. The Council had questions regarding where the County would start first and after further discussion Mr. Schumacher was asked to update the Council when a work schedule was determined. Mr. Bisel noted that the contract is for six years and asked what the penalty would be if this City decided to discontinue County service. Mr. Schumacher explained the only requirement is a one year's notice. Mr. Bisel moved to approve Anoka County Assessors service as stated in Mr.•Schumacher's letter of April 20, 1988 for 1988 through 1994. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Mr. Reinert moved to amend the motion to include that once the quartile study is completed, Mr. Schumacher bring this back to the Council to review with the County and answer any further questions the Council may have. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Voting on the original motion, motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FROM CENTENNIAL FIRE DISTRICT CONCERNING USED LINO LAKES POLICE CAR The Centennial Fire District has sent a letter dated April 8, 1988 to the Council requesting that the Council donate or sell to the Fire District one of the squad cars now being taken out of service. The District will pay $1,200 for the equipment on the car. Mr. Schumacher has prepared a letter to the Fire District about this matter and the letter indicated the cost of the vehicle as $2,500 plus the cost of the equipment. After discussion regarding the potential use of the vehicle, how the District will pay for the vehicle and who determined the price of the vehicle, Mr. Reinert moved to consider this request and have the answer to the PAGE 13 34 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 25, 1988 Fire District at the next Council meeting. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. After further discussion regarding the cost of equipping a new squad and whether this decision should be delayed, Mr. Reinert withdrew his motion and Mr. Bisel withdrew his second. Mr. Bisel moved to offer for sale to the Centennial Fire District car #317 with the police equipment except the radio and that the purchase price of the vehicle is $2,500 plus the replacement cost of the equipment. Mr. Reinert seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION FOR NON -UNION EMPLOYEES EVALUATION AND SALARY ADJUSTMENT Mr. Schumacher explained that since the previous Ways and Means Committee meeting he has met with all the non -union employees and they have signed the recommendation forms as previously discussed.

Motion carried unanimously. OLD BUSINESS Mill Rate Information - Mr. Schumacher explained that the Anoka County Assessors office has provided him with information regarding mill rates which are quite interesting and suggested that someone from each school district be invited to the Board of Review on May 16, 1988. Mr. Reinert suggested that information be used at this meeting to show the public what percent of their taxes goes to other taxing entities. Mr. Bisel also suggested having handouts available for the public. Metropolitan Sewer Line Capacity, - Mr. Stahlberg told the Council that there is no guarantee that the potential developer of the Montain property will have the needed capacity in the current sewer facility. He noted that this is a potential problem and is telling prospective buyers of this concern. He explained that this points out the need for a financing policy. Notice of Metropolitan Council Public Hearing - Mr. Stahlberg handed out notices of the public hearing to be held on Wednesday, May 18, 1988. He suggested that several PAGE 14 1 1 ,035 COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 25, 1988 of the matters covered by this public hearing have a potential affect on Lino Lakes. He said he would visit the staff at MWCC and suggested that a work session may be needed to address this matter. Lakes Addition No. 3 Ponds - Mayor Benson said that a resident on East Shadow Lake Drive is concerned about the promises made by Mr. Uhde in relation to the ponds, grass and other items. He wanted to be sure all residents were notified when Mr. Uhde holds his association meeting and he also asked that the Carlsons be sent a letter letting them know that they will be notified of the meeting. Mr. Schumacher was asked to research the Council meeting where Mr. Uhde outlined his proposed association and what was going to be done in that area. NEW BUSINESS Post Office - Mr. Schumacher told the Council that he has been contacted by the St. Paul Post Office and they will be doing a city wide mailing to determine if anyone including the City Council has any suggestions for a location.
