OPEN MIKE Senator Greg Dahl appeared before the Council to update the Council on some of the matters addressed in the past legislative session and to determine if he can help Lino Lakes with anything in the upcoming sessions. He noted that he would like to see the northern metro area treated well. Mr. Dahl explained that he did support the tax bill that was vetoed by the Governor. He said he did not know if there woul'l be a special session to address tax 'ssues. Mr. Dahl explained some of the special programs and items that were of concern to him during this past session. The school funding bill took a majority of his time. He also spent time working on a bill to make implanting computer viruses a crime. Other issues were solid waste issues, control of medical and infectious waste, a bill to make Minnesota a leader in recycling and capturing chlorinated flouro- carbons (CFC), eliminate the three waste disposal sites in Anoka County, recycling of used batteries, providing funding for the Mosquito Control District to study Lymes 1 273 COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 11, 1989 Disease and establishing a definition of "brain dead ". Mr. Bisel said he felt the school fund bill did not adequately address equity in school funding. He noted that the Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth and iron range cities get more school funding that any of the other school districts in the State. Mr. Bisel explained that he felt inequities resulted because the remaining school districts are relying more and more on property tax levies and there by taxing our residents for school funding much more heavily. Mr. Dahl said he felt this issue would be addressed by the legislature by a equalized funding bill. Mr. Bisel noted that there is a large metropolitan regional park with a golf course in Lino Lakes. He asked Mr. Dahl how this City could obtain financial help in providing fire and police protection to this metropolitan facility. He asked if Mr. Dahl would support a bill allowing Lino Lakes to establish a tax to recapture money it spend for police and fire services. Mr. Dahl said he felt it would be very difficult to get this type of a bill. He felt it would be easier to get appropriations for Lino Lakes instead of the special legislation. He also said he would be glad to get together with Mr. Schumacher on this matter and to work with Lino Lakes. Mr. Bisel explained that Tax Increment Financing is critical to the City of Lino Lakes. He asked if there will be efforts to "water down" TIF. Mr. Dahl said he felt that TIF was very effective in other cities and saw no reason for a change in this area. Mr. Neal explained that at one time the Centennial Fire District had a contract to provide fire protection to the Lino Lakes Correctional Facility. Now the Fire Department does not get paid for false alarms and explained that many calls are made to the facility and the Fire Department is not paid for these calls. Mr. Dahl said he was not aware of this situation and asked Mr. Schumacher to give his office a call tomorrow (Tuesday, September 12, 1989) to discuss this matter with him. Mr. Neal also explainer that sewer 7.nd water utilities are being extended to the Correctional Facility and now the City is hearing that the state has• not appropriated money to cover the assessment for this facility. Mr. Dahl told Mr. Schumacher to have his staff updated on this matter immediately. Mr. Bohjanen asked if there were a special legislative session this fall, would a major housing bill be considered. Senator Dahl said no, the only items to be addressed are the tax bill and the recycling bill. 274 COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 11, 1989 Mr. Bisel explained that this City is subdividing and expanding greatly and there is a problem financing improvements that must be extended past large parcel of land. He asked Senator Dahl how the large land owners could be accommodated and not be driven off their land. Senator Dahl said this situation has been a real dilemma in other communities. There is no good answer to this situation. Mr. Bisel referred to the forced main sewer line installed by Metropolitan Waste Control Commission along Birch Street. He noted that they did not install the larger sized pipe as they had indicated they would and now the line is too small and there is no capacity for adjoining undeveloped lands. Senator Dahl said that land use and development issues in his opinion are best left to the local authorities. He suggested that Lino Lakes contract Ken Kunzman at the MWCC and discuss the problem with him. Mr. Neal expressed concern that as money is being funnelled into the large city police departments drug control, drug dealers will be forced to work in the suburbs. He noted that small departments do not access to the funding to control drug trafficking and asked how smaller cities can obtain funding they will need for drug control. Senator Dahl explained that he was not aware of what is in the Presidents plan regarding this issue but he said he would fight this "scourge ". Acting Mayor Reinert and the Council thanked Senator Dahl for coming this evening. PROCLAMATION - GREATER ANOKA COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY MONTH, RESOLUTION NO. 64 - 89 Mr. Bisel moved to approve Resolution No. 64 - 89. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. This resolution can be found at the end of these minutes. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 65 - 89 AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION IN THE 1990/1992 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM Mr. Schumacher explained that the City of Lino Lakes has participat -ad in this program for several years. The senior center and the Economic Development Committee have both received funding and explained that if the Council wished to continue participation in the program, they should adopt this resolution. Mr. Bohjanen moved to approve Resolution No. 65 - 89 and asked the Clerk to read the resolution. Mr. Neal seconded the motion. Mrs. Anderson read the resolution. Voting on the motion, motion passed unanimously. PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT REPORT - DON VOLK 1 1 1 1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 11, 1989 Accepting Bids for Seal Coating, Resolution No. 66 - 89 - Mr. Volk explained that TKDA had prepared specifications for this improvement and had advertised the bid for this past Friday, September 8, 1989. Only one bid was received. This bid is from Allied Blacktop Company for $43,314.75. Mr. Bohjanen asked if the bid was somewhat lower than anticipated. Mr. Volk said yes, the entire program is somewhat reduced. Mr. Bisel moved to award the bid to Allied Blacktop Company for $43,314.75 and approve Resolution No. 66 -89. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING - TAX INCREMENT FINANCE DISTRICT NO. 1 -3 Acting Mayor Reinert opened the public hearing at 7:54 P.M. Mr. Miller told the Council that this district concerns the Ross property at 7990 Lake Drive. This proposal will distribute approximately $200,000 to this property on a "pay as you go" basis. This means that Lino Lakes will not have to issue or sell any bonds for the development and the developer will receive cash in annual installments. Within two weeks three final documents will be delivered to the City, the final TIF plan, the site plan and the guarantee documents. The draft site plans have been reviewed by the P & Z Board and several changes were recommended. The only apparent issue involves the residence to the east of the brick home. The owner of this residence will meet with the developer to work out screening and any other concern. Mr. Miller explained that the proposal for this site is to remove all existing structures on the Ross property as well as the brick home to the east. A retail facility of approximately 21,000 square feet will be built on the site providing retail functions not currently available. The structure will help improve the image of Lino Lakes. The purpose of the public hearing is to take public comments regarding the financing of this development. If there are no adverse concerns, all final documents will be before the Council at the next regular Council meeting. Acting Mayor Reinert asked if there were any comments either for or against the proposal. There were no comments from the audience. Mr. Bohjanen asked if the highway department had been contacted regarding placing a stop light at the intersection of Lake Drive and Main Street. Mr. Miller said that the County has indicated that there will not be a light there for four or five years. Their main concern is obtaining the necessary right -of -way. There was discussion regarding traffic at the Tom Thumb store. Mr. Miller told the Council that the owners of the Tom Thumb property are currently working on a revised plan for egress and ingress to this property. COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 11, 1989 Mr. Bisel moved to close the public hearing at 8:05 P.M. Mr. Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING - TAX INCREMENT FINANCE DISTRICT NO. 1 -4 Acting Mayor Reinert opened the public hearing at 8:05 P.M. Mr. Miller explained that this district involves the manufactures mall planned for the northeast quadrant of Lake Drive and I35W. He noted a setback in timing explaining that originally the developers had planned to start construction this fall. The current plans are to start construction as soon as the weather permits in the spring. The concern facing the City is extension of utilities to the site and obtaining financial assurances from the landowner. The TIF attorney has recommended that the City obtain an agreement from the property owner guaranteeing payment of construction costs for utilities in the event that the mall is not built. The landowner has not been willing to provide this guarantee. In addition, the City does not have enough information from the developer for the City's fiscal consultant. Mr. Miller recommended that the Council open the public hearing and then close the hearing until such time that all the details are available. He will be back before the Council to ask that another public hearing be set. Acting Mayor Reinert asked Mr. Miller if it would be possible for the landowner and the developer to get together and guarantee the cost of utility installation. Mr. Miller said this was possible, but told the Council he felt the City should be very cautious about extending utilities if they were not willing to guarantee payment of the cost. Mr. Schumacher recommended that any further action by the City Engineer cease until the status of the project is determined. Mr. Bisel moved to close the public hearing at 8:12 P.M. and not take public comment until all information is present and another public hearing is called. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. It was the opinion of the Council that the City does not want to continue with additional engineering work or expense at this time. PUBLIC HEARING - VACATION OF PORTION OF EASEMENT FOR DRAINAGE DITCH, 140 MARVY STREET, RESOLUTION NO. 61 - 89 Acting Mayor Reinert opened the public hearing at 8:14 P.M. Mr. Stahlberg explained that the owner of this property has requested that the ditch be re- aligned so that he can make better use of the land. He explained that the current easement would have to be vacated and another easement would be given by the landowner. Mr. Stahlberg showed the property and the suggested alignment on the overhead 2 7 7 COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 11, 1989 projector. Mrs. Rouse, owner of the lot was in the audience and Acting Mayor Reinert asked if there were any comments from the audience. There were none. Mr. Bisel moved to close the public hearing at 8:17. P.M. Mr. Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Bisel moved to adopt Resolution No. 61 - 89 vacating the old easement. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 61 - 89 can be found at the end of these minutes. PUBLIC HEARING - VACATION OF PORTION OF STREET EASEMENT, ROHAVIC OAKS, SECOND PHASE, RESOLUTION NO. 62 89 Acting Mayor Reinert opened the public hearing at 8:17 P.M. Mr. Stahlberg explained that the Rohavic Oaks, Second Phase is a replat of a portion of Rohavic Oaks. In the old plat, a street was platted over a portion of Lot 6, Block 2, Rohavic Oaks, Second Phase. Since this street will no longer be needed and the area is required to make the lot conforming, Mr. Stahlberg recommended that this portion of the street be vacated. Acting Mayor Reinert asked if there were any comments from the audience. There were none. Mr. Bohjanen moved to close the public hearing at 8:18 P.M. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Bisel moved to adopt Resolution No. 62 - 89 vacating a portion of Linda Avenue over Lot 6, Block 2, Rohavic Oak, Second Phase. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Resolution No. 62 - 89 can be found at the end of these minutes. ENGINEER'S REPORT - RON STAHLBERG Consideration of Easement for Sunrise Meadows - Mr. Stahlberg explained ti.at this easement is required because this is where the trunk water lines are located as the lines enter Sunrise Meadows. Mr. Bohjanen moved to accept the easement. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Final Plat Approval, Reshanau Park Estates - Mr. Stahlberg explained that this plat will be developed in stages and this plat contain the first stage consisting of twenty lots. Mr. Bisel moved to approve the final plat of the first stage of Reshanau Park Estates contingent upon receipt of all paper work; developers agreement, letter of credit, conveyance of property from partnership, park issues resolved, City COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 11, 1989 Attorney review of abstract document. Mr. Neal seconded the motion. Mr. Uhde and his engineer were in the audience to represent this development. Mr. Neal asked if the park issue was resolved. Mr. Schumacher explained that research of City records indicate that this area was included in the park dedication from Mr. Janderic for the Lakes Additions. However, another issue was raised concerning the twenty nine (29) lots formerly owned by NSP and purchased by Mr. Uhde. Mr. Schumacher explained the problems encountered by staff with phase development. He asked that Phase II of this development be well "locked in" to avoid this type of confusion. Mr. Stahlberg said he did not think the problems encountered in the South Reshanau Lake Estates platting would not happen again. Mr. Uhde explained that in the future phase developing will be much clearer. Acting Mayor Reinert was concerned about a situation where a developer would "sit" on the lots until high taxes force them to be developed. He also expressed concern about heavy equipment and large truck hauling building material breaking up Black Duck Drive. He said it would be unfair to this subdivision to create premature aging of this street and the expect the abutting residents to pay for its repair. Mr. Volk explained that it would be tough to measure the wear and tear on the street created by this new development. He suggested that the developer submit a letter of credit or bond to cover wear and tear that can be documented. After further discussion, Mr. Volk recommended that stations and pictures of Black Duck Drive be taken before and after the construction. This could help establish liability. Mr. Uhde said this would be fine with him but reminded the Council of the normal spring breakup. He said he would have no problem using his existing letter of credit to cover this concern. Mr. Volk said the letter of credit must contain language regarding Black Duck Drive. Mr. Bisel amended his motion to include a request that the developer and City Staff determine the condition of Black Duck Drive at this time and at the end of �,he construction phase to determine wear and include this in the letter of credit. Mr. Neal seconded the amendment. Voting on the motion and the amendment, carried unanimously. Discussion of Drainage Plan for Outlot F - Mr. Stahlberg gave a brief background on this matter. This lot has been platted and it was the intention of the Council to deed portion of the Outlot to adjoining landowners. This would put the Outlot back on tax rolls and eliminate a concern for the City. Before deeding the property to adjoining landowners, it was suggested that the area be graded to provide adequate 279 COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 11, 1989 drainage and easements placed on the Outlot to insure drainage. Mr. Stahlberg explained a grading plan was provided by Mr. Roger Nelson who wishes to use the excess materials for fill in lots he owns on the east side of Black Duck Drive. Mr. Stahlberg has reviewed the grading plan and recommended that it be revised so that there would be less excavation and disruption to the area. Mr. Neal said that if this area were to be graded, the residents would be very upset. They want it to be left as it is in the natural state. Mr. Schumacher said the original reason this was brought up was to insure that there would be proper drainage and place easements on the land so that the new landowners could not alter the drainage after it was established. Acting Mayor Reinert said he was unaware that there were drainage problems in this area. Mr. Volk said there were no major problems at this time, but if the land were deeded to the adjacent landowners, they would alter their lots by hauling in fill and this would cause problems for the neighbors down the line. Acting Mayor Reinert asked why this had not been done ten years ago before all the homes were built. After further discussion, Mr. Neal moved to leave Outlot F as it is and put a stipulation in the deeds that will not allow future landowners to alter the terrain and only construct structures that will not change drainage patterns. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Mr. Hawkins asked if this area will be needed in the future for drainage purposes. If so, he suggested that the easements be placed on the property before it is deeded to the landowners. Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously. Mr. Bisel asked what would happen to the parcels that are not deeded to the adjacent landowners. It was suggested that some landowners may want to buy more than one lot. Mr. Schumacher explained that he has had several meetings with the landowners and has a fairly good idea who wants additional land. Mr. Schumacher was asked to contact the landowners and get a list of those who want property and bring this information back to the Council. CONSIDERATION OF " "HE CENTENNIAL JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT AS AMENDED Mr. Schumacher explained that this is the fourth draft of the Joint Powers Agreement and gave a brief background on the matter. He noted that this would be the first reading of the draft and a second reading would be required. There has been input from the City Attorney's from all three cities. Mr. Bisel said he found it difficult to determine if anything has been left out of this draft. Mr. Schumacher explained that all issues raised by the three cities were addressed and all the agreed upon changes have been incorporated in this draft. 280 COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 11, 1989 Mr. Bisel asked Mr. Hawkins if the interest of Lino Lakes is protected better than with the previous Joint Powers Agreement. Mr. Hawkins explained that this is the first time he has seen this fourth draft. However he did feel that Lino Lakes has more control over contributions and expenditures with this draft. Acting Mayor Reinert noted the section regarding keeping each station in tact in the event that the Joint Powers Agreement was dissolved. Mr. Schumacher explained that the equipment in the station at the time the Joint Powers Agreement is dissolved would stay in that station. Mr. Bisel asked that both Mr. Hawkins and the Lino Lakes Commissioners review this draft and submit their opinions to the Council. Mr. Neal asked about the situation with the Fire Chief. It was explained that the first action of the Steering Committee after the Joint Powers is adopted will be appointing a new Fire Chief. Mr. Bisel moved to adopt the first reading of the fourth draft of the Centennial Fire District Joint Powers Agreement. Mr. Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF A PROPOSED PROJECT /AGREEMENT SCHEDULE FOR UPGRADING ELMCREST AVENUE, DAN BOXRUD Mr. Boxrud explained that Lino Lakes and the City of Hugo share a common boundary street known as Elmcrest in Hugo and 24th Avenue in Lino Lakes. This street is in need of upgrading. Recently a meeting was held between the Lino Lakes staff, the Hugo staff and Mr. Boxrud. As a result of this meeting, Mr. Boxrud has prepared a Joint Powers Agreement outline and phased cost estimates for upgrading the street. This information has been forwarded to the Council. Mr, Boxrud outlined the work necessary to upgrade the street and noted that the costs were preliminary. He noted that the upgrading will probably be completed in phases with the first pii;se beginning at Bald Eagle" Boulevard ,lnd ending a.: Main Street. The second phase would begin at Main Street and end at 80th Street. This third and final phase begins at 80th Street and ends at the north boundary of Lino Lakes. Mr. Boxrud noted the approximate cost to Lino Lakes for each of the three phases as outlined in the presentation that was forwarded to the Council. Possible cost recovery was also discussed as well as the improvement schedule. Mr. Boxrud asked the Council if they had any preference for the .length of time of the improvement: Mr. Schumacher noted that the City of Hugo has money set aside to complete their portion of 2g COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 11, 1989 the Phase I improvement. Mr. Bisel noted that he found it hard to understand that a City such as Lino Lakes within a very short distance of the intercore cities would have streets such as 24th Avenue in such bad condition. He felt this City must proceed with some sort of an agreement. Mr. Boxrud suggested that an informational meeting with the affected landowners in Phase I be held prior to the October 10, 1989 Council meeting. Acting Mayor Reinert felt a open exchange of information with the landowners should be held as soon as possible. Mr. Bisel asked why this is a city project. Why would it not be a county project since the street divides two counties. Mr.Boxrud explained that a street must meet certain criteria. This street does not meet the criteria and the proposal appears to be the best thing to do for the tax payer in this area. Mr. Neal asked why a feasibility study must be prepared when it is agreed the improvement must be completed. It was explained that this is a legal requirement. Mr. Schumacher told the Council that the staff will meet with the landowners along 24th Avenue and determine the interest in upgrading the street. He will report back to the Council. OLD BUSINESS Followup, Annual Review of Conditional Use Permits - Mr. Kluegel told the Council that Mr. Roland Fords property has been sold to a landscape contractor. He is working with the new owner to see that the property is upgraded. On June 26, 1989 the Council reviewed several Conditional Use Permits and asked Mr. Kluegel to followup on three and bring this information to the Council. Bill Flanagan, 908 Orange Street, Permanent Business Sign -- Mr. Flanagan has now removed the illegal temporary sign and a permanent sign has been erected. My Plat_ on the Lake, 6810 Lake Drive, Illegal Fill - Aft meeting with the DNR the illegal fill that was placed in wetlands has been removed. William Krychinski, 7830 Lake Drive, Park Screening and Exterior.Storage - Mr. Kluegel explained that this property is Suburban Residential and currently there is a dump truck and bobcat stored on the property. Mr. Neal said he sees this all over this City. He noted that Mr. Krychinski had both of these pieces of equipment when the property was zoned commercial and felt that he was "grandfathered ". Mr. Bisel asked if Mr. Krychinski could apply to return to a commercial. 282 COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 11, 1989 zoning. Mr. Miller explained that this issue is the same as the Laska issue. The property would still be nonconforming because it would need an Industrial zoning. Acting Mayor Reinert asked if the property was properly zoned prior to the rezone? He also asked if the people were properly notified. Mr. Bohjanen noted that it was explained to these landowners at the time the property was rezoned that in the future they could be rezoned back to the commercial zoning. However, he explained that this could only be done if the Planning and Zoning Board approved and this might not easily be done. Mr. Bisel suggested that no action be taken on this matter until the Economic Development Committee drafts a plan of action for Lake Drive. Screening between the Krychinski home and Lino Park was discussed. Mr. Neal suggested that this be done by the Park Department in the spring and Mr. Krychinski could share in the costs. Apitz Garage, 325 Birch Street, Evergreen Planting and Customer Parking - Mr. Kluegel explained the evergreens have been replaced and he has talked to Mr. Grubbs about customer parking. He has not provided areas for customers to park. Mr. Volk noted that there is a drainage problem in this area and suggested that entrances to Apitz Garage be blacktopped to prevent soil erosion. Mr. Bohjanen moved to blacktop the apron area to avoid soil erosion and drainage problems with County approval. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Simonson's Garage, 7860 Lake Drive - Mr. Kluegel noted that as of 6:30 P.M., the temporary sign had been removed. The "No Parking" signs have not been installed and the plantings for screening between the building and Lino Park are scheduled for the spring, 1990. Mr. Bohjanen noted that if "No Parking" signs were required for this area of Lois Lane, the same type of signs should be required for Main Street along the north side of Ross' Corner Store. It :Jas explained that Main `street is a county road, and the City does not have jurisdiction. Mr. Volk explained that he had talked to Mr. Simonson regarding the signs. It was his understanding that the signs were to be posted on the north side of his building and the cost of the signs were Mr. Simonson's responsibility. Mr. Volk will post "No Parking" signs on Lois Lane. Clarifying MUSA Boundaries - Mr. Schumacher reminded the Council that action was taken to approve the MUSA with several changes. However there has been some confusion as to 1 COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 11, 1989 whether or not the Rustic Lane area was removed from the MUSA boundary. The map did show the Rustic Lane area within the MUSA boundary and the Council did not take specific action to remove it and Mr. Schumacher asked the Council if it was there intention to remove this area from the MUSA boundary? Mr. Knief, 6856 Rustic Lane said that he did not want to be in the MUSA area and he felt that his neighbors made it very clear that they did not want to be in the MUSA either. There was discussion regarding the number of residents in the area who have requested to connect to the utility facilities and how they would be affected if the Rustic Lane area were removed from MUSA. Mr. Hawkins explained that if the Council wanted to omit the Rustic Lane residents, another public hearing would have to be held on the matter. Mr. Bisel moved to extend the Council meeting beyond 10:00 P.M. until all items on the agenda were completed. Mr. Stahlberg explained that if the Rustic Lane area was to be omitted from MUSA, all working documents will have to be revised. Mr. Bisel introduced a proposed policy for the residents in this area who would like to hook up to the utilities but feel that the cost is prohibited. He showed his proposal on the overhead projector. The proposal basically says that those existing homes along a sewer or water line will be charged in the same manner as the new subdivision that the lines are intended to serve. An example: if the lines were extended to serve a new subdivision and the lots had 80 feet of frontage, the existing homes would be charged for only 80 feet of frontage although the actual frontage would be 120, 150 feet, etc. The cost to the existing home would be the same as the new home. After further discussion of Mr. Bisel's proposal, it was decided to poll the Rustic Lane residents and bring this information back to the next Council meeting. NEW BUSINESS Setting City Budget Work Sessions and Public Hearing Date - The Budget Work Sessions will be Thursday, September 21 and Thursday, September 28, 1989 at 4:00 P.M. The Budget Public Hearing was set for Monday, October 23, 1989 at 7:30 P.M. Mr. Bohjanen moved to adjourn at 10:30 P.M. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Aye. These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at a regular Council meeting held September 25, 1989. 283 Marilyn G. Anderson, Clerk- Treasurer � :enjan t G.
