OPEN MIRE
Michael Kostick, My- Place -on- the -Lake appeared before the Council
to express his concerns regarding the proposed Cabaret Ordinance
amendment. Mr. Kostick explained that he has had a couple of
outdoor events at his establishment in the past and there have
been no problems. He said he has talked to Chief Campbell and
the Minnesota Liquor Control Commission regarding the requirement
that liquor cannot be sold outside of the building on the
premise. He felt that this provision in the law has been
overlooked in many communities because such events do bring added
revenue into the community. Mr. Kostick said he felt that Lino
Lakes was a small community and explained that the Council should
be behind the businesses that are already established and not
seek to restrict them further. He noted that the liquor industry
is hurting because of the strict DWI laws, insurance costs and
high taxes. He asked the Council to reconsider the proposed
Cabaret amendment and make existing businesses the first

priority.
Darlene Neumann, representing St. Joseph Catholic Church
explained that the church has one (1) large fund raising function
each year where dancing is held under a tent and beer is sold.
She noted that there have never been any complaints filed with
the church and the proposed Cabaret Ordinance amendment would
greatly hurt this annual fund raiser. Ms. Neumann asked the
Council to reconsider the proposed ordinance or exempt non - profit
organizations.
Council Member Kuether said she thought this proposed amendment
would not interfere with church activities. Chief Campbell
explained that originally it appeared that a special permit could
be issued to the church. However, there is no provision for such
a permit. Chief Campbell said that he would ask the City
Attorney to review the proposed amendment with him again. He
noted that his primary concern is the problem associated with on-
sale liquor establishments conducting outdoor activities.
Council Member Kuether asked if it was a state law that required
liquor to be sold in a building. Chief Campbell explained that
it is what the Minnesota State Liquor Control Commission is
telling this City. If other cities are allowing the sales of
liquor outside of a building, it is assumed that they are
obtaining special permits.
Chris Ross, Ross' Bottle Shop asked if "premise" means the
building or the address. Chief Campbell explained according to
the State, it means the building.
Acting Mayor Reinert explained that this matter will be further
addressed during the second reading of the Cabaret Ordinance
amendment on April 8, 1991.
STAR OF THE NORTH GAMES REOUEST FOR FUNDING
Mr. Elliott Perovich and Mr. Tom Snell appeared before the
Council to promote the upcoming Star of the North Summer Games.
Lino Lake was invited to be a part of this community effort. Mr.
Perovich explained that the City of Blaine and the City of Coon
Rapids are official hosts of the games, however support from the
entire northern tier of cities is needed to put on the best games
ever.
Mr. Perovich gave the Council a brochure that explains how each
city can become a North Patron. The brochure also explained the
benefits becoming a Patron.
Mr. Snell explained that the Anoka Chamber of Commerce is
PAGE 2
049,
050
COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 25, 1991
supporting the Star of the North Summer Games because they feel
the event brings revenue into the area to help local businesses.
He noted that between 12,500 and 15,000 athletes are expected to
compete in the games and about 20,000 to 30,000 spectators are
expected to attend the games. It was noted that the cities are
encouraged to ask the locally licensed charitable gambling
organizations to contribute to the games in the name of the city.
Council Member Bohjanen asked Mr. Perovich to send contribution
information to the VFW.
Acting Mayor Reinert explained that the Council will act upon the
request for financial support at the end of this meeting.
CABLE COMMISSION UPDATE
Mr. Tesch explained that the Lino Lakes as well as nine (9) other
cities are in the seventh year of a fifteen year franchise with
Cable TV North Central. The franchise requires that Cable TV
North Central expend money for replacement of equipment used for
local programming. However, Cable TV North Central has filed a
law suit claiming that it should not be held to any promises or
projects made by its predecessor. Mr. Tesch said he would keep
the Council update on the progress of this law suit.
The Council was sent a list of areas to be considered for cable
line extension this season. Mr. Tesch noted that some of these
areas were proposed by the Council.
No action was required on this matter.
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD REPORT
Consideration of a Minor Subdivision and Variance for Lot 5,
Block 3, Rice lake Addition, DRB Application No. 91 - 03 and 91 -
05 - Mr. Miller explained that this request is similar to several
in the past. This area was platted prior to the current lot
width requirements with the idea that the lot would be subdivided
when sanitary sewer and water was available. A variance is
required because each new lot will be five (5) feet less that the
required width. The request was review by the DRB and they
recommended approval of the minor subdivision and the variance.
Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve the minor subdivision
request, DRB No. 91 - 03 contingent upon the payment of $800.00
for park dedication. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion.
Motion carried unanimously.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the variance, DRB
Application No. 91 - 05. Council Member Neal seconded the
motion. Motion carried unanimously.

Consideration of a Minor8ubdivision and Variance for Lot 9,
Block 3, Rice Lake Addition, DRB Application No. 91 - 06 and
91 - 07 - Mr. Miller explained that this request is similar to
the previous request. The DRB has reviewed the request and has
recommended approval of the minor subdivision and variance.
Council Member Bohjanen moved to approve the minor subdivision
DRB No. 91 - 06 contingent upon payment of $800.00 for park
dedication. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion
carried unanimously.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the variance, DRB
Application No. 91 - 07. Council Member Neal seconded the
motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Site and Building Plan Review and Variance for Centennial School
District No. 12 for Proposed New Elementary School on Birch
Street, DRB Application No. 91 - 04 and 91 - 08 - Mr. Miller
explained that Mr. McClellan, Superintendent of Schools for
District No. 12 was present this evening to answer any questions
the Council may have regarding the proposed new elementary
school. He explained that a variance is required for a driveway
entering the school site from West Shadow Lake Drive. The
current City Codes requires that a driveway be no wider than 26
feet. However, school buses need extra turning width and the
proposed driveway width is 30 feet. Mr. Miller noted that the
DRB has reviewed the site and building plan and the variance
request and had recommended approval contingent upon fourteen
stipulations.
Acting Mayor Reinert asked Mr. McClellan if he was comfortable
with the stipulations. Mr. McClellan said he was. Council
Member Neal asked who would pay for the upgrading of West Shadow
Lake Drive from Birch Street north to the school driveway. Mr.
Boxrud explained that he had looked at the condition of West
Shadow Lake Drive and noted that it was deficient in both width
and strength and would have to be reconstructed to state aid
standards. Since this would be a fairly large improvement, the
City would be looking at assessing all affected property owners.
Mr. Boxrud also noted that a underpass under Birch Street is
proposed. He explained that the developer on the south side of
Birch Street has said he will cooperate in making this
improvement. The trail system in his subdivision will lead to
the underpass and this should avoid pedestrian traffic along
Birch Street to the school. Just who will pay for this
improvement has not yet been determined. Mr. Boxrud also
explained the Anoka County Highway Department requirements for
Birch Street in the area of Birch Street and West Shadow Lake
Drive.

PUBLIC HEARING, TO TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT AND CONSIDER RESOLUTION
NO. 17 91 REGARDING RE- DESIGNATING SOME OF THE 1989 COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS
Mr. Schumacher explained that some CDBG rules have changed and
the City was unable to spend all of the funds allocated to the
City in 1989. He recommended that the Council re- designate the
remaining funds ($8,318.00) for use in the surface water
management acquisition plan. The majority of the 1990/1991 CDGB
funds were allocated to this project.
Acting Mayor Reinert opened the public hearing at 7:23 P.M.
There was no one to speak for or against the proposal. Council
Member Bohjanen moved to close the public hearing at 7:24 P.M.
Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried

PUBLIC HEARING, COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT, LAKE
AMELIA TOWN HOMES
Mr. Miller explained that an error was made and this matter
should be considered at the April 8, 1991 Council meeting. The
Council agreed to postpone this matter until 7:00 P.M., April 8,
1991.
ENGINEER'S REPORT
Resolution No. 25 - 91 Ordering Improvement and Preparation of
Plans for 66th Street, Dan Boxrud - Mr. Boxrud explained that the
public hearing on this matter was held on January 14, 1991. A
petition against the improvement has been received from one (1)
of the two (2) affected landowners. The City Charter requires
that the Council must deny the improvement if a petition for the
PAGE 5

COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 25, 1991
improvement has not been received from the other affected
landowner. Had there been equal petitioning, the Council would
have had the choice of approving the improvement or denying the
improvement. As matters currently stand, the Council must deny
the improvement and deny Resolution No. 25 - 91.
Council Member Kuether moved to deny Resolution No. 25 - 91.
Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried
unanimously.
Resolution No. 25 - 91 can be found in the resolution book.
PUBLIC HEARING TO TARE PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING ADOPTION OF
INTERCHANGE LAND USE AND MARKET STUDY AS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AMENDMENT
Mr. Miller explained that the Freeway Interchange Land Use and
Market Study is a comprehensive plan amendment for land adjacent
to the city's two (2) freeway interchanges. The plan makes
specific recommendations for development in areas adjacent to
both interchanges. Mr. Miller noted that the property owners
were included in the preparation of the plan and meetings with
them were held last summer.
The draft plan has been reviewed by the DRB and the EDC and both
recommend approval of the plan. Mr. Miller noted that the plan
makes specific recommendations regarding development. He
outlined the five (5) specific recommendations: 1) the need for a
"Planned Development" overlay for the full interchange areas; 2)
any proposal for a gasoline service station by definition must be
part of a larger "Planned Development "; 3) require roadway re-
alignments to better serve both interchange sites; 4) extend the
Rural - Business Reserve District to Main Street at the I -35E
interchange, and 5) emphasize commercial /retail development at
the I -35W site and industrial development at the I -35E site with
supporting retail and service activities.
Mr. Miller used the overhead projector to outline the study areas
at I -35E and I -35W. He particularly noted the proposed re-
alignment of Lilac Street because of the concern by the state and
county regarding the short distance of this street from I -35W.
This would allow for better use of the land at the northwest
corner of that freeway.
Acting Mayor Reinert opened the public hearing at 7:53 P.M.
There was no comment from the public. Council Member Kuether
moved to close the public hearing at 7:54 P.M. Council Member
Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Council Member Bohjanen moved to direct staff to submit the
PAGE 6

COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 25, 1991
freeway interchange plan amendment to the Metropolitan Council
for review and comments. Council Member Kuether seconded the
motion. Motion carried unanimously.

COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 25, 1991
White Tail Ridge improvement. He asked that the storm sewer and
street improvements for White Tail Ridge be added to the
Brandywood Estates plans and specifications in order to get a
more favorable bid. Mr. Boxrud explained that it is expected
that completing White Tail Ridge in this manner would save
approximately 15% in costs. He has been in contact with the
property owners and they may guarantee the higher cost if this is
necessary.

Resolution No. 29 - 91 can be found at the end of these minutes.
CONSIDERATION OF AN EXCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH LAPPIN
AND ASSOCIATES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF RICE LAKE PLAZA, JOHN MILLER
Mr. Miller explained that Mr. Lappin has asked that the Council
approve an exclusive development agreement for him for the period
of 90 days. This agreement would restrict the City from dealing
with anyone else for the development of Rice Lake Plaza for 90
days. The developer of Rice Lake Plaza has expressed interest in
selling land in Circle Pines to Mr. Lappin as well as selling the
architectural work that has been completed to date. However, Mr.
Lappin is not interested in the land in Circle Pines nor the
architectural work.
Mr. Miller explained that Rice Lake Plaza is in TIF District 1 -4.
A project is needed for this district by June 1, 1991.
Council Member Kuether asked if this procedure was a normal
procedure. Mr. Miller explained that it was done in this City
once before but is done in other cities. Council Member Kuether
expressed concern because of the time constraint. Mr. Miller
explained that the developer of Rice Lake Plaza has put this
development on the "back burner ". He is pursuing another
development in another area of this City. Council Member
Bohjanen asked how much property is Mr. Lappin considering
purchasing. Mr. Miller said approximately 15 acres owned by
George Reiling. Mr. Lappin is also looking at purchasing a
couple of small parcels on the shore of Rice Lake. Mr. Miller
explained that the proposed street alignment of Highway #49 and
Lake Drive is another concern. He proposed that the Council
consider the street alignment in a work session within the next
couple of weeks.
Mr. Lappin told the Council that he would be interested in a 45
day exclusive development agreement. He said he has a good
working relationship with the mortgage community and is looking
at locating a grocery store at that site. He said he hoped to
get something built yet this year.
Council Member Neal moved to approve a 45 day exclusive
development agreement with Mr. Lappin. Council Member Kuether
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
STAR OF THE NORTH GAMES REOUEST FOR FUNDING
Mr. Schumacher explained that earlier in this meeting, the Star
of the North Games organizers requested funding for the summer
games. He noted that normally these requests are worked into the
budget. However this year every city is getting bad news from
PAGE 9

COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 25, 1991
the state. Mr. Schumacher suggested that if the Council felt
strongly enough about this request, some money could be taken
from Economic Development funds. Another suggestion was to work
with the local non - profit charitable gambling organizations.
Council Member Bohjanen explained that gambling operations have
become more of a "headache" than a profitable situation. He said
he would check to see if there was any money available through
the VFW.
Council Member Neal moved to deny the request for City funds to
support the Star of the North Games. Council Member Kuether
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
OLD BIISINESS
There was no Old Business.
NEW BIISINESS
Set Public Hearing for Off -Sale Liquor License for Douglas R.
Hughes for Tom Thumb Store for Monday, April 22, 1991, 7:00 P.M.
Mrs. Anderson explained that the public hearing is required by
the City Code. She also noted that this was the first possible
public hearing date. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes were in the audience
and explained that they have a problem because improvement must
be made to the building. Also a grand opening date has been set.
The public hearing date will delay the grand opening. Acting
Mayor Reinert said that the City Code must be followed and the
required publications must be made. The Council can not make any
commitments regarding issuing the license until after the public
hearing. Mr. Hughes said he would probably have to delay the
grand opening until June 1, 1991.
Council Member Bohjanen moved to set the public hearing. Council
Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Request from Lino Lakes Lioness Club for City Council to
Designate August 17, 1991 as "Lino Days" - Mrs. Anderson
explained that the Lioness Club is planning a second annual "Lino
Days" celebration and asked that the City Council support them in
this effort. Council Member Bohjanen asked why the event was not
named "Lino Lakes Days ". Mrs. Schrader and Mrs. Graphenteen of
the Lioness Club explained that they felt Lino was a familiar
term. Council Member Kuether moved to designate August 17, 1991
as "Lino Days ". Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion
carried unanimously. Council Member Neal reminded Mrs. Schrader
and Mrs. Graphenteen to apply for the beer license and use of the
park as soon as possible.
Set a Date for Team Building Follow -Up Session in April,
PAGE 10

COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 25, 1991
Suggested Dates, Thursday April 18, Thursday April 25 - Acting
Mayor Reinert said these meetings were extremely important and
asked Mr. Schumacher to be sure every one could attend the date
set. Wednesday, April 17, 1991 was set for the team building
meeting.
League Annual Legislative Conference, Wednesday, April 10, 1991 -
Acting Mayor Reinert said he would make every effort to attend.
Council Member Neal said he would attend. Mr. Schumacher asked
that anyone interested in attending contact him so that they can
be preregistered.
Mobile Home Park - Mr. Miller and Council Member Neal visited a
site proposed for use as a mobile home park. The site is located
near I -35E and Cedar Street. Acting Mayor Reinert asked that the
developer make a proposal to the City. He noted that the area
would have to be rezoned and this will take some time going
through the process.
Sewer and Water Hook Ups - Mr. Neal noted that many residents
would like to hook up to the sanitary sewer and municipal water.
However, they are unable to pay the cost of making the connection
from the street to the house. He asked if this cost could be
added to the assessment. Mr. Schumacher explained that the City
would be making improvements on private property. There would be
a liability risk. The City Attorney explained that no
improvement that would not be a benefit to the City at large can
be assessable. He noted that if the City were to complete the
installation, the City would be using City funds and it would be
illegal to use public funds for improvements on private property.
Cost of County Sheriff's Police Coverage - Council Member Neal
asked Mr. Schumacher to contact the Sheriff's Department to
determine what the cost of coverage would be for five (5) years.
After discussing this matter further it was decided to continue
the discussion in the future.
Council Member Kuether moved to adjourn at 9:05 P.M. Council
Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. Aye.
These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at a
regular meeting of the Lino Lakes City Council held on April 8,
1991.
