Mr. John Barrett of RISE explained the original request was for fifty cents per capita or $3,800.00. Mr. Bisel asked how he could determine how many Lino Lakes residents benefit from the RISE program. Mr. Barrett explained it would be difficult to determine the point of origin for all individuals. Mr. Bisel explained he felt Lino Lakes should pay its fair share but did not want to "pick up the slack" for other communities. Mr. Pat Smith, Chairman of the Economic Development Committee (EDC) explained that the EDC has addressed very important issues during the past year and expressed the need for getting some of the projects going.

Mayor Benson asked how many potential hookups are in Service Area #5 and Mr. Stahlberg explained not many at this time, however, there are some landowners who have expresssed interest in subdividing their property when sewer is available. Mr. Bisel asked if White Bear Township would size their main to accomodate Lino Lakes. Mr. Stahlberg said that Lino lakes would provide the figures and White Bear Township would calculate the Lino Lakes need. Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously. Resolution No.16 - 89 can be found at the end of these minutes. Anoka County Capital Improvement Plan - Mr. Stahlberg explained he, Mr. Miller and Mr. Volk met with the County Engineer and discussed the County long range needs and Capital Improvements Plan for Lino Lakes. The County Engineer has requested input from Lino lakes and Mr. Stahlberg is recommending that a list of improvements be prepared by the City and submitted to the County Engineer. He has prepared a list of four improvements and asked for Council direction. Ash Street -was discussed and it was noted that the Mayor of Vb COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 13, 1989 Shoreview supports a resolution to both Ramsey and Anoka Counties outlining the need for improving this street. Mr. Schumacher said he would like to add Elmcrest on the east side of Lino Lakes to the list of proposed improvements. It was noted that Hugo- .requested that Washington County participate in the i9nprovement of Elmcrest and this request was denied. Mayor Benson said it would not hurt to present the request a second time. The condition of Elmcrest was discussed noting that today portions of the street were impassable making police and fire protection difficult in some areas. Mr. Schumacher noted that four governmental agencies are involved here and the improvement should be shared jointly. Mr. Stahlberg explained he had talked to the State Aid Engineer and he agreed Elmcrest could be placed on the MSA system when Hugo reaches 5,000 in population. Mr. Bisel asked that a connector street between the two I35 freeways be placed on the County list. Mayor Benson asked that an interchange at Main Street and 35W be added to the list to help service the regional park. There was discussion regarding a frontage road north of Main Street and east of 35E. Mr. Miller explained the location of the frontage road would depend on what scale of businesses were proposed for the area. Normally large scale businesses such as office complexes front on the freeway and smaller scale businesses front off the freeway. Mr. Bisel moved to direct the City Engineer and Administrator to prepare a list of proposed improvement including those noted tonight in priority order and submit the list to the Anoka County Engineer. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Comprehensive Sewer Plan Update - Mr. Stahlberg explained that he has prepared an updated plan using the text from the 1981 Comprehensive Plan and revising the accompanying map. The map was displayed and Mr. Stahlberg outlined the six service areas and described the existing sewer facilities. The lift station on Laurene Avenue was discussed noting that its capacity can be expanded from 840 connections to 1,040 connections. This has been discussed with the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. Mr. Stahlberg briefly outlined several proposed plats now being forwarded to the City Planner. He explained the effect of these plats on each service area. Mr. Stahlberg explained that a proposed amendment to the Lino Lakes Comprehensive Lane Use Plan would require a public hearing. Mr. Bisel asked if it would be wise to wait with the public hearing until the RUC completes its recommendations for other Plan updates. Mr. Stahlberg said 1 007 COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 13, 1989 Metro Council would prefer to have all amendments forwarded to them as one time. He noted that although the Council may want to delay submission of the Comprehensive Sewer Plan Update, he suggested that he pursue the Laurene Avenue lift station update with_,MWCC now. Mayor Benson explained that MUSA boundaries maybe changed and asked if this would affect the Comprehensive Sewer Plan Amendment submission to MWCC. Mr. Stahlberg said that the Comprehensive Sewer Plan update should go to MWCC before the MUSA changes are completed. Mr. Schumacher expressed concerns that delaying the submission of the Sewer Plan update to MWCC could delay some improvements already planned. Mr. Stahlberg said he would visit with MWCC, explain the current situation to them and ask how they feel the matter should be handled. Mayor Benson said that Mary Hauser, the Lino Lakes representative to MWCC should be updated on the situation in Lino Lakes. Mr. Bisel expressed concern regarding the lack of a well monitoring system in Lino Lakes. Mr. Schumacher explained citizens can obtain a water sample bag and submit it to the County for analysis. The cost is $10.00. It was explained the County only tests bacteria levels. Mr. Bisel suggested setting up well testing areas where problems are known to exist.

Mr. Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Consideration of Adjustment to MUSA Boundary - Mr. Miller explained that at the February 27, 1989 Council meeting, he had presented information about a request to change some MUSA boundaries and the need to visit with people within the present MUSA boundary to request that they either petition for sewer or be moved out of the MUSA boundary. He noted the low inventory of sewer serviced lots and asked for direction regarding holding neighborhood meetings to discuss options with landowners. The Council has requested more information and he has visited with the EDC and the Planning and Zoning Board about this matter. There appears to be people in the MUSA boundary who would be happier outside of the boundary and there are several landowners outside of the MUSA boundary requesting sewer service. He requested Council permission to hold informal neighborhood meetings to determine what the residents are thinking.

The State also has a liberal interpretation of food including such., items as stewart sandwiches and pizza. These items are sold at the golf club. Mr. Hawkins noted that the gold club meets the requirements and explained he saw no reason to deny the license. Mr. Pat Smith, 7002 West Shadow Lake Drive told the Council that there are over 100 children in the area of the golf course and noted that Anoka county has put the installation of the club house access road from Lake Drive on hold. He felt issuing the license could further endanger the children and suggest that the Council approve the wine license contigent upon the installation of the Lake Drive access road. Mr. Bisel suggested that the Council take a look at the number of licenses this City can issue and noted this City could see a real increase in requests. Mr. Hawkins explained that there is a statutory limit on the number of licenses the City could issue and suggested holding back one or two licenses in the event a large hotel locates in the City. Mr. Bisel said he felt this matter should be discussed and a policy prepared. Mayor Benson noted receipt of a letter from Mary Jones, 830 Oak Lane regarding expansion to liquor facilities at Ross' Corner Shoppe. Mr. Neal moved to approve the wine license for the Chomonix Golf Club. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried with Mr. Bisel voting no. Basement Acquisition, West Central Trunk Improvement - Mr. Hawkins explained that he contacted the appraiser involved with the original appraisals of the five Rustic Lane properties and asked him to prepare appraisals for easement acquisition on the five properties. Last Thursday he and Mr. Stahlberg met with the five property owners and presented the appraisals to them. The appraisals were not accepted by the landowners and counter proposals from the landowners were received. The landowners indicated that the first three items on their proposal were not negotiable, however the money issue was negotiable. Mr. Hawkins recommended to the Council that a petition for eminent domain action be filed with the court. The court would appoint three independent individuals to hear presentations by the landowners and the City. They would make a determination regarding compensation for the easements. COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 13, 1989 Mr. Hawkins explained that the petition for eminent domain action would be for the entire length of the improvement and would start the legal process immediately since there is a ninety day waiting period after the filing date. The project then would not be held up because of easement acquisition. He also noted the city could start negotiating with the landowners immediately and as agreements are established, those particular properties would be eliminated from the court proceedings. The counter proposal from the landowers was discussed. Mr. Stahlberg explained that it was quite likely these property owners would lose the use of their wells during the dewatering process but the wells would return to normal about two weeks after the dewatering stopped. He noted that the contractor will be required by contract to provide water to the homeowners and also explained how this process would work. Scott Rasmussen, 6864 Rustic Lane explained that the easement calculatton for his property and for Mr. Tresslers property is in error. He asked Mr. Hawkins to correct the figures. He also noted that at the September 26, 1988 council meeting, Mayor Benson told the Rustic Lane property owners there would be no assessments on their property. Mayor Benson explained that if the residents decided to not hook up to the utility there would be no assessments. However, if the residents decided to hook up to sewer and water facilities, they would have the same assessments as any other landowner. Mr. Bisel said that if the Council were to forgive assessments and allow the landowers to hook up, a precidence would be set for future assessments. Mr. Rasmussen said he felt that the Council was taking water away from them (wells going dry during dewatering) and further felt this was a form of blackmail bargaining. Mr. Bisel noted that if the Council were to approve the landowners demands it would cost the City $9,000 to $9,500 per landowner plus the cost of the easements. Mr. Rasmussen said he would sign the easement documents and forget the other demands if the City would give him $9,000.00. He said he felt the matter could be settled within the week. He noted that the landowners do not want to be hooked up to municipal water and have the assessments. That is why they are asking for installation of deep wells. There was further discussion regarding the shallow wells at the five properties on Rustic Lane. Mayor Benson noted that if the shallow wells were condemned for whatever reason, he felt the City would still not allow the residents to hook up to the municipal water without assessments. Mr. Rasmussen noted that he had talked to the DNR and was told that the City is responsible for supplying water to the residents -ff they loose their wells because of dewatering. COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 13, 1989 Mr. Stahlberg explained that the City is giving this responsibility to the contractor through the construction contract. Mr. Rasumssen referred to the counter proposal presented by the landowners. He,told the Council that they were lucky that they were not asking for damages due to stress. He said that the Council did not tell the landowners everything from the beginning of the project. Mr. Hawkins said that there should be additional negotiation. He noted that by following the eminent domain procedure, the City will be paying each landowner up to $500.00 to hire their own land appraiser. Mr. Hawkins said he would be willing to give the $500.00 to the landowner as part of the negotiations. Mr. Bisel asked Mr. Hawkins to explain the procedure for starting the eminent domain procedure. It was noted that Mr. Hawkins would be negotiating for the City. Mayor Benson asked assuming the Council decides to do as Mr. Hawkins recommends, can the Council still negotiate with the landowners. Mr. Hawkins said yes and the Council could authorize anyone they wish to be a part of the negotiations procedure. Mr. Neal asked Mr. Rasmussen if he and the other landowners have come to an agreement as to what they wanted. Mr. Rasmussen said no, but definitely more than what the City was offering. Mr. Rasmussen explained that reasonable people should be able to get together and negotiate a settlement. He said he would like to see this and noted that the landowners are asking for $9,500.00 without the purchase of the easement. Mr. Rasmussen said he wanted $10,000.00, no SAC or WAC charges and a well drilled on his property. Mayor Benson said he felt that this would have to be negotiated. A lady in the audience said they have been waiting since December, 1988 for someone to start the negotiation process. Mr. Hawkins reminded the Council that there is still the matter of easements along the entire length of the improvement. He recommended that all landowners be included in the action and they can back out as they negotiate settlements with the City. Mr. Rasmussen said that no one on Rustic Lane wants to hold up the improvement. Mr. Neal moved to have Mr. Bisel and Mr.Bohjanen negotiate along with Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. There was further discussion regarding starting the eminent _domain process while the negotiation process was in progress. Mr. Rasmussen said he had hoped that the Council would not go U12 COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 13, 1989 the quick take route. He told the Council that if they come up with a fair agreement, the landowers will sign the easement documents. Mr. Bisel withdrew his second on the motion. There was no other second to the.motion and the motion died. Mr. Bisel moved to start the process of eminent domain for the entire length of the service route and that the City proceed with the negotiation process to settle claims along the route and start this process immediately and Mayor Benson is to appoint two persons to serve as negotiators with Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Mr. Hawkins explained that he preferred that these two negotiators would be Council members. Voting on the motion, motion carried with Mr. Neal voting no. Mayor Benson appointed Mr. Neal to negotiating committee with himself and asked that the City Engineer and Planner also attend the negotiation session for information and data purposes. The first meeting is to be schedule this week and Mayor Benison asked Mr. Schumacher to set this meeting. Mr. Rasmussen said that the landowners want to negotiate as a group and explained that no one wanted to negotiate individually. OLD BUSINESS Fire District Steering Committe Report - Mr. Schumacher explained the formula that was discussed by the Steering Committee. The formula basically concerned the cost of fire protection on a $80,000 home. He explained that the cost for this home would be the same in each city. Mr. Bisel said he wanted projections of what a Lino Lakes Fire Department would cost this City in a ten year time span. Mayor Benson explained that other items discussed were a cap on the Fire Department budget and they also talked about a two year budget. Mayor Benson told the Council that it would be two weeks before everything is tied together on this proposed formula. He will update the Council on this matter. NEW BUSINESS Assessment Abatement for Lots 10 and 11, Block 9, Lakes Addition No. 3, Resolution No. 14 - 89 - Mr. Bisel moved to approve this resolution. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion.

This service will begin April 1, 1989 and will cost seventy five cents per trip. The bus will stop in both St. Paul and Minneapolis. This service will mean a lot to the prison. It means the workers can now ride the bus and there will also be Saturday service for inmates relatives. This service will be on a six months trail basis and has been approved by Metro Council.
