OPEN MIKE
Council Member Neal referred to several articles written in the
Forest Lake Times, the Circulating Pines and the Quad Press. He
noted that many times all three newspaper write articles about
the same subject. However, the manner the article is written in
each paper is different. He noted that the recent articles
regarding the Centerville police contract in the Forest Lake
PAGE 1

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 20. 1990
Times were very factual. Council Member Neal noted that the
Forest Lake Times reporter attended all Council meetings on the
subject and did a very good job of presenting the facts and
representing this City. Council Member Neal also referred to the
Forest Lake Time article about the Lino Lakes proposed levy. He
noted that a straightforward understandable report was given
regarding the probable impact to property owners. However, the
article appearing in the Circulating Pines appeared to indicate
that taxes are going up drastically and this is not true.
Council Member Neal told the Council that they should select a
legal newspaper that reports news to the public clearly and
factually.
Council Member Neal also noted that the reporters from the
Circulating Pines and the Quad Press did not attend all the
meetings and public hearings regarding the proposed 1991 Budget
and tax levy. He wondered how they obtained their information.
Mayor Bisel said the Council should be concerned about getting
the right information to the public and noted that there are
different ways of presenting information. Council Member Neal
said he felt that the Lino Lakes position regarding the
Centerville Police Contract had not been presented at all until
the Mayor wrote an editorial letter.
CONSIDERATION OF CONTRACT WITH WINSOR FAIRCY ARCHITECTS FOR
CENTENNIAL FIRE DISTRICT STATION NO. 2
Mr. Schumacher explained that the staff has been working with
Winsor Faircy Architects for about a year to prepare a needs
analysis for this City. The needs analysis has been completed.
The City has bonded for the construction of the new District
Headquarters Fire Station. Since Winsor Faircy is knowledgeable
about the City and the proposed project, a contract has been
prepared for architectural services for the new building.
Council Member Neal moved to sign the contract. Council Member
Bohjanen seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion
carried unanimously.
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD REPORT, JOHN MILLER
Set Public Hearing Date for a Conditional Use Permit for Ron
Birch for Land Reclamation on Property Located Near County Road J
(Ash Street) and County Road No. 54 (20th Avenue) for 7:30 P.M.,
January 28, 1991 - Council Member Bohjanen moved to set this

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 20. 1990
preliminary plat. He asked if it would be appropriate to set
this public hearing. Mr. Miller explained that the Rice Creek
Watershed District will meet prior to January 28, 1991 and should
take action on the proposed plat prior to the public hearing.
Council Member Neal moved to set the public hearing as outlined
above. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion
carried unanimously.
Minor Subdivision Request for Jack Menkveld for Lot 6, Block 3,
Ulmer's Rice Lake Addition - Mr. Miller explained that this is
another in a series of requests to split lots along the new
Second Avenue. The lot is one (1) acre and wass platted so that
it could be divided when sewer and water was available. This
action would be considered infilling. Since the time this lot
was platted, the City Code has been changed with respect to lot
size. A variance is also required to allow the lot split.
Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve the DRB application No.
90 -60 approving the minor subdivision request. Council Member
Neal seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried
unanimously.
Council Member Neal moved to approve the variance request in DRB
application No. 90 -67. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the
motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously.
POLICE DEPARTMENT POLICY CHANGES REGARDING THE CITY OF
Chief C- ampbell explained that his department has not been
formally told by the City of Centerville that the Lino Lakes
Police Department will no longer be servicing the City of
Centerville when the contract date has ended. He noted that his
department has Centerville police records for the past fifteen
(15) years and will maintain these files. There are some pending
court cases and the Lino Lakes officers involved in these cases
may have to attend court. Chief Campbell will notify the City of
Centerville of the time the officers spend in court and will ask
for reimbursement of the officers salaries for the court time.
There was discussion regarding the length of time the Lino Lakes
officers could be out of the City at court on Centerville matters -
and what would happen if the City of Centerville refused to
reimburse the City of Lino Lakes for the officers expenses. The
City Attorney did advise the Council that he was quite sure that
there was nothing in the contract requiring the City of
Centerville to reimburse Lino Lakes. The City Attorney did note
that there is nothing of a serious nature pending for the City of
Centerville He also noted that there is no legal basis-to sue
the City :.of Centerville.-
PAGE 3

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 20. 1990
Chief Campbell will address this matter in a letter to the City
of Centerville and also talk to their Administrator personally.
The City Attorney felt that since the City of Centerville will
generate revenue from these pending court matters, they probably
will honor a request for reimbursement.
Council Member Reinert asked about the possibility of a backup
request from the Circle /Lex Police Department in the City of
Centerville. The City Attorney said that if a Circle /Lex Police
Officer feels he needs backup, he should get the backup from his
own department. However., if the situation is life threatening or
there is criminal activity, the Circle /Lex Police Officer could
request backup from Central Communications and the Lino Lakes
Police Department could be asked to respond. The Lino Lakes
Police Officers will have to make judgement calls regarding
whether or not to respond. This information will also be given
to the City of Centerville.
Mayor Bisel asked that Chief Campbell define the role of the Lino
Lakes Police Department as carefully as possible.
PUBLIC HEARING, REZONE OF PROPERTY ON BIRCH STREET FOR CENTENNIAL
SCHOOL DISTRICT NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, ORDINANCE NO. 19 - 90
Centennial School District No. 12 has purchased property from
Harold Lehmann and Hugo and Irene Jorgensen on Birch Street for
the purpose of constructing a new elementary school. The
.
must be rezoned to Public Semi - Public (PSP) for the purpose of
building the new school.
Mr. Miller introduced Mr. John McClellan, Superintendent of
Schools, Centennial District No. 12. Mr. McClellan presented a
blueprint of the planned elementary school and noted that it will
be constructed to house approximate 800 students and could be
modified to house 1,000 students without major remodeling or
additional new construction. Mr. McClellan outlined the "core"
facility and noted that the gym facility is oversized to
accommodate adult usage. He also noted that the site plan has
not been completed. However, the school building itself will be
located on the site within the next week or two. Mr. McClellan
noted that Mr. Don Kelly, principal of the Centerville Elementary
School will be principal of this new facility.
Mr. McClellan gave a progress report on the planned theater and
the planned hockey arena. He also explained some of the other
planned improvements to other buildings and site within the
school district.
Council Member Reinert expressed surprise in the margin of
PAGE 4

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 20. 1990
approval for the bond issues needed for these improvements. He
noted that this says something in support of good education in
this area. Mayor Bisel expressed his appreciation for the
support Lino Lakes citizens gave the the bond issues.
Mr. McClellan said that bonds will be sold on January 16, 1991 to
finance the above referenced buildings and improvements. He
noted that the interest rates were significantly better than
anticipated.
Mr. Schumacher asked Mr. McClellan if the School District would
be using a project manager. Mr. McClellan said maybe when
building the arena but not for other projects.
Mayor Bisel told Mr. McClellan that equity funding must be a
priority in the coming legislative session. Mr. McClellan noted
that Senator Dahl had been elected Chairman of the committee
responding to this need and he believed that Senator Dahl would
make every effort to support the needs of the Centennial School
District. Mr. McClellan explained that there is a lobby group
that will be placed into action concerning this matter. Mayor
Bisel asked citizens to contact their legislator's about this
matter.
Council Member Neal asked if there is any possibility of re-
arranging school district boundaries within Lino Lakes. Mr.
McClellan said not as far as Forest Lake is concerned. He did
note that there may be some changes affecting the Spring Lake
Park School District.
Mayor Bisel opened the public hearing concerning the rezone
request at 7:28 P.M. There was no one in the audience to speak
for or against the rezone request.
Council Member Bohjanen moved to close the public hearing at 7:28
P.M. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
Council Member Reinert noted that the Lehmann buildings will
remain in the ownership of Harold Lehmann with approximately 2.6
acres of land. Mr. McClellan explained that it may be necessary
to request a variance to divide the remaining property. He also
noted that the old barn will be removed.
Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve DRB Application No. 90-
60 granting a minor subdivision for Centennial School District
No. 12. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. On a roll
call vote, motion carried unanimously.

PUBLIC HEARING, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, BOE ORNAMENTAL
Mr. Miller explained that the owner of Boe Ornamental wishes to
construct an addition to his building at 484 Lilac Street. City
Code requires that a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) be granted for
this request since the existing building is used for industrial
purposes. In addition, a site and building plan is also
required.
Mayor Bisel opened the public hearing at 7:37 P.M. There was no
one in the audience to speak for or against the improvement.
Council Member Reinert moved to close the public hearing at 7:38

seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried
unanimously.
Council Member Bohjanen moved approval of the site and building
plan as outlined in DRB Application No. 90 -57. Council Member
Neal seconded the motion. On a roll call vote, motion carried
unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARING, PRELIMINARY PLAT, WENZEL FARMS
Mr. Miller explained that the developer of Wenzel Farms has not
completed the preliminary plat but expects to have it completed
and to the city hall by December 27, 1990. The preliminary plat
will be reviewed by the DRB on January 9, 1991. Mr. Miller asked
that this public hearing be continued until January 14, 1991.
Council Member Bohjanen moved to continue this public hearing
until 8:00 P.M., January 14, 1991. Council Member Neal seconded
the motion.

Mayor Bisel called a five (5) minute recess.
PUBLIC HEARING, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, WCCO TOWER
Mr. Miller explained that a Doppler radar had been installed on
an existing tower at the WCCO site off of Holly Drive. Prior to
the installation, WCCO had contacted Mr. Miller and asked what
the City requirements for the installation were. Mr. Miller had
told WCCO that an additional or amended CUP was not necessary
since there would be no structural changes to the tower that had
been originally designed and built to accommodate just such
equipment., The Doppler radar was installed. This matter was
brought -to the attention of the City Council by'an individual who
resides near the site. The Council directed that there be a
public hearing and the CUP application is attached in response to
the Council request.

The DRB reviewed the application for the CUP and felt that no
permit was required. The options for the Council to consider

Mayor Bisel opened the public hearing at 7:50 P.M.
Al Stromen, 6177 Holly Drive told the Council that he opposed the
tower. He said he would have no problem with the Doppler radar
if it were installed on the ground. He noted that the DRB had
based their decision on the fact that the tower was already there
and ready to be used. Mr. Stromen said he was not notified when
the tower was erected and did not have a voice as to whether or
not it should have been constructed. Mr. Miller explained that
the tower was installed following a public hearing and the
issuance of a CUP in 1982. Further improvements were made in
1984 and in 1988. Public hearings were held and amended CUP's
were issued at those times.
Ron Swanson, 6310 Red Maple Lane explained that he did not
receive notice of this meeting. He said that there used to be
natural foliage to the east of him, now there is just a
fiberglass ball. Mr. Swanson said he is dismayed and outraged
that the installation never made it to a public forum. He
thanked Mayor Bisel for bringing this matter back before the
public. Mr. Swanson said that he is a homeowner and is 500 to
600 yards away from the Doppler radar. He expressed concern
regarding the environmental impact. He noted that it may contain
large range electro magnetic energy and asked if it was aimed at
his house. Mr. Swanson also asked if the radar was sweeping
through his house. He said that an environmental impact
PAGE 7

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 20. 1990
statement `should .be, mandatory for this type .of.'.installation.
Alwin Klimik, 1690 Karth Road noted that he had asked for a
variance and this was denied. He then asked for an ordinance
change and this was denied.• Mr. Klimik said he was opposed to
the Doppler radar because he was a resident and was denied and
not allowed to do what he wanted to do and felt that WCCO should
also be denied and not allowed to do what they want to do.
Jim Christianson, attorney for Midwest Communications noted that
he is also the Chairman for the Planning Commission for the City
of St. Paul. He reviewed how WCCO got to where they are
presently located and what has transpired in regard to the
request and issuance of CUP's. Mr. Christianson noted that in
1982., WCCO' applied for a CUP for the installation of the tower
for the Doppler radar and the micro wave dishes. The ordinances
in place at that time allowed the tower to be constructed to its
current height. The CUP was granted and the tower was
constructed. In 1989 the FAA and the FCC approved the type of
radar that was constructed on the tower. This is a standard type
of radar that does not require environment impact statements.
Mr. Christianson noted that WCCO did come to the City and
the existing permit. Mr. Christianson noted the comment that
"the Doppler. appeared over night." He explained that it was not
a difficult installation and there was a need to have the Doppler
available in the spring for tornado weather.
Mr. Christianson explained that after the Doppler was installed
Mr. Strommen appeared before the Council. He noted that WCCO has
invested a great deal of money in the Holly Drive site. He also
noted that WCCO personnel have met with local residents and the
issue was not fully resolved. Mr. Christianson said it was his
opinion that the administrative decision was correct. However,
WCCO will be cooperative. The matter has,been before the DRB.
Mrs.- Slaten.who lives on Red Maple Lane and is a member of the
DRB said she did not have a problem with the installation. The
DRB has deemed the matter to be within the existing CUP.
Mr. Christianson noted the process of setting this public hearing
and said he felt it is entirely within the Council discretion to
find that the installation is within the existing CUP. He noted
that the Rural zone in Lino Lakes does provide for towers up to
200 feet tall.. He also noted that are two (2) other towers in
the immediate area as well as several others nearby.
Mr. Christianson distributed pictures taken of the Doppler radar
and the tower. He said he did not feel that it stood out so much
that it would change the aspect of the area. He also noted that
there is no light on top of the Doppler to make it more

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 20. 1990
conspicuous and that $16,000.00 of trees and shrubs were planted
to improve the site. Mr. Christianson noted that the entire
facility will be substantially screened and the wetlands will be
preserved. He noted that the color of the dome will remain as it
was manufactured. Mr. Christianson said that although WCCO
respects the feelings of the people who have appeared this
evening, he felt that the decision given by the City Planner and
the DRB is a responsible decision.
Steve Smith, Director of Engineering for Midwest Cable and
Satellite, Inc. explained that the size and power of the Doppler
transmitting unit was small and draws about four (4) or five (5)
amps. The large antenna projects a thin pencil beam. The energy
is narrow for long distance projection. This beam detects wind
patterns. The large dish amplifies signals from the clouds and
equates to a micro wave oven. The pencil thin beam can see out
150 miles and detect wind bursts. The electro magnetic impact is
a universal application and has been studied on numerous
occasions and does not create any electro magnetic arm or
interference.
Council Member Reinert asked Mr. Smith to tell the Council what
he considered the micro wave tower. Mr. Smith explained from the
ball to the ground. Council Member Reinert said that he is
concerned because the tower was put in place and soon there were
additions. He said he did not know where WCCO would go next.
Council Member Reinert said that some companies feel that once
they have their foot in the door they can get anything they want.
He said the reason he wanted this hearing was to hear what WCCO
is doing and what is planned for the future. Mr. Christianson
explained that a CUP was granted for the tower and the tower was
built to accommodate this type of installation. The radar
equipment does not change the use and it is not a structural
change.
Council Member Kuether asked if the tower was designed for the
Doppler radar why was the permit for the radar not requested at
the same time the permit for the tower was requested. Mr.
Christianson explained that the Doppler radar had not been fully
developed. Council Member Kuether asked how many Doppler radars
were in the twin city area. Mr. Christianson explained there are
three others including one (1) in Duluth. He noted that the
Doppler radars cannot be located in a downtown area because of
interference from tall buildings.
Council Member Kuether asked what DRB Member Slatten said about
the Doppler radar. Mr. Smith said Mrs. Slatten said that she was
aware of the installation but was not bothered by it. She
indicated that the installation was similar to an addition to a
building. Mr. Smith indicated that Mrs. Slatten seconded the DRB
PAGE 9

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 20. 1990
motion to recommend that a permit not be required.
Mayor Bisel noted that KSTP has a similar installation near Hugo.
A signal from that installation caused his garage door opener to
malfunction. He asked is the signals from KSTP are similar to
the signals being picked up by the large WCCO disk. Mr. Smith
explained the KSTP installation and noted that signals from these
types of installations have caused problems such as those Mayor
Bisel experienced at his home.
Council Member Reinert noted that when changes are made in
residents "back yard ", these changes will be noticed. He said he
would feel better if the residents had been notified prior to the
installation. Council Member Reinert noted that what has been
done will benefit the entire twin cities area. However, he
explained, if it were in his back yard he would wonder about the
health impact. Council Member Neal noted that if this matter
would have been brought to a public hearing prior to the
installation of the Doppler radar, the ball (Doppler radar) may
not be on the tower now. Mr. Christianson said that WCCO did go
through the proper channels. He also noted that the residents
who live closest to the installation have never attended the
neighborhood meetings. Council Member Neal asked if any resident
incurred damages because of this installation would WCCO rectify
the problem. Mr. Christianson explained that if damages are
perceived, the affected person can file a suit. He noted that he
did not view that this installation has caused any damage. Mr.
Christianson said that WCCO does not try to "sneak" around
anything.
Harvy Seppanen, 6115 Holly Drive explained that he has twenty
four (24) acres with virtually no trees and can see the Doppler
radar from his bedroom. He is aware of the week that it was
installed and said he did not like the surprise installation.
Mr. Seppanen explained that he is an engineer and knew that
projects must be styled. He noted that neighbors are going to
disagree about the installation. He also noted that spheres
usually cover something that is unsightly and that spheres
themselves are appealing. Mr. Seppanen explained that he had
polled his family and all agreed that although they had noticed
the ball, they had no objections. Mr. Seppanen said that he did
not like businesses and neighbors that pollute and felt this was
a perfect use of swamp land so long as WCCO continues to pay
their taxes.
Mr. Miller apologized to the Council and to the residents for the
administrative decision that he made. He noted that in a typical
day, he receives twenty (20) to twenty five (25) telephone calls
and may make ten (10) administrative decisions in a day. Mr.
Miller said that this is the first time he has "blown" an
PAGE 10

COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 20. 1990
administrative decision. WCCO had been before the Council three
(3) times and they should have been advised to come before the
Council a fourth time. Mr. Miller explained that the 1988 CUP
contained conditions that required WCCO to clean up the site and
plant additional screening. An obnoxious outside telephone was
disconnected at the site. WCCO agreed to sell some of the
developable property when utilities are available. Mr. Miller
noted that things are not as bad at the site and that he is
working for the best interest of Lino Lakes.
Council Member Reinert explained that if for no other reason, the
CUP amendment allows the City to go back and clean up situations
which may have crept up over the years.
Council Member Bohjanen asked how many residents were notified
about this public hearing. It was noted that about twenty
residents were notified. Council Member Bohjanen asked if
findings of fact must accompany a denial of the CUP amendment.
Mr. Miller said six (6) findings of fact must be provided.
Mr. Swanson asked if it would make a difference if he surveyed
people within sight of the Doppler radar installation to get the
owners to provide more detailed information regarding health
concerns.
Council Member Bohjanen asked how many residents contacted WCCO
about the installation. Mr. Smith said one (1) person. He also
met with some of the neighbors. Mr. Stromen said that he talked
with several neighbors who said they would have attended the
meetings prior to the installation when somdthing could have been
done about it. They feel that they cannot fight big business.
Council Member Bohjanen moved to close the public hearing at 9:00
P.M. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
Mr. Hawkins explained to the Council that their decision on this
matter must be based on criteria outlined in the City Code. He
also said that he understood the public interest in the matter,
but Mr. Miller did have latitude in the matter. Mr. Hawkins said
that the Council will have to find specific findings of fact for
either approval or denial of the CUP.
Council Member Bohjanen said that after hearing all the legal
aspects of the matter and the City Planner's reply, he felt that
WCCO should have gone through all the "ropes" and moved to
approve DRB Application No. 90 -58 for the installation of the
Doppler radar and direct the staff to prepare finding of fact in
support of this motion. Mayor Bisel said that he would second
the motion for debate purposes. Council Member Reinert said he
PAGE 11
172
i73
COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 20. 1990
felt that not all of the questions on this matter had been
satisfactorily addressed.
The Council discussed whether or not to direct the staff to
prepare findings of fact supporting approval or denial. Council
Member Bohjanen withdrew his motion and Mayor Bisel withdrew his
second.
Council Member Bohjanen moved to direct the City Planner to
prepare findings of fact that support the DRB recommendation for
DRB Application No. 90 - 58. Council Member Kuether seconded the
motion. Council Member Neal said he felt an independent person
should prepare the findings of fact. Mr. Schumacher explained
that the City Planner would have to follow the criteria set in
the City Code with respect to the health and welfare of the
residents. He asked the representatives of Midwest Cable and
Satellite, Inc. to secure information regarding this concern.
Mr. Schumacher asked for clarification. He asked if the motion
is in support of issuing the CUP and directed the staff to
provide findings of fact and come back to the Council for final
action at the next Council meeting. Mayor Bisel said yes and
that he hoped that the staff was professional enough and the
legal aspect is sharp enough.
On a roll call vote, motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Schumacher said this item will be back on the January 28,
1991 Council agenda.
ENGINEER'S REPORT
Resolution No. 88 - 90 Awarding Bid for Portable Generator,
Darrell Schneider - Mr. Schneider explained that bids for a
portable generator were received on Friday, December 14, 1990. A
summary of the bids was given to the Council. The specifications
for the bid did allow for bids on used equipment. One (1) bid
was received for a used generator and three (3) bids were
received for new generators. Mr. Schneider explained that the
Public Works Director had inspected the used generator and found
it to be what this City needs. There is a warranty on the
generator until 1994. It has been used and serviced and can be
put into standby service immediately. It was previously a rental
unit. Mr. Schneider was asked why the City would not just rent a
unit when it is needed. Mr. Schneider explained that when the
power is out, everyone needs a portable generator. It could be
hard to find a rental unit.
Council Member Reinert moved to adopt Resolution No. 88 - 90
awarding the bid to Ziegler, Inc. for a used portable generator
PAGE 12
