COUNCIL MEETING MAY 8, 1995
term forum on Saturday, April 29, 1995. The purpose of the mid-
term forum was to share ideas and provide a view point as to
where each group is headed. She noted that the project is on
track, and the groups have done a good job of "visioning ". Ms.
Sullivan noted that "visioning" is not what anyone expected.
"Visioning" is not problem solving or process development but is
a statement of desired outcome. At this point, "visioning" is
from the citizens standpoint. It is also the first step in the
planning process. This step will be finished at the end of May
or the middle of June when completed recommendations from each
group are given to the City Council.
The next step in the process is implementation. The official
document will be given to the City Council. The information in
the document should be reviewed by the City Council and a
determination should be made on how the statements can and should
fit with what is currently being done by the City Council. This
is the point where the staff does an indepth review. Does the
City currently have these things in place or are there
adjustments to be made? The process will move from a citizen
focus to a city focus and will try to combine the two (2)
visions.
Ms. Sullivan noted that there is some confusion over what are
each others roles. She used an example from the Growth Planning
Advisory group. They have a vision, "for Lino Lakes to be
recognized with closely knit neighborhoods, citizens who work
closely with government and be an environmental friendly place to
come home to ". Ms. Sullivan said this should give City staff a
focus. She explained that this is what the citizens are looking
for and while it may not be possible or even probable to put into
place all of the action plans that are being devised, this is the
way the citizens feel the action "visions" should be implemented
but not the only way. They understand very clearly that there
may be reasons why things they have recommended cannot be
implemented the way they have recommended them. However, it is
important for the City Council and staff to understand the intent
of the vision so in time they can be implemented.
Ms. Sullivan read the recommendation from the Growth Planning
Advisory Group, "the City should foster a sense of community
through careful planning and design. In addition, the City
should promote a sense of identity that captures the unique
attributes that Lino Lakes has to offer within the community ".
The action list for this "vision" includes, create and maintain
cooperation between the City and various service or civic
organizations. Ms. Sullivan explained that when the City
receives this document, an analysis should be made to determine
whether or not there is a process to do what this advisory group
PAGE 2
1

1
COUNCIL MEETING MAY 8, 1995
is requesting or does the City have to implement some other
measure. Council and staff should ask what is it that the
citizens want from this? Ms. Sullivan gave an example of how the
City is already implementing this step. She referred to the
Economic Development Assistant who is taking a very active role
in moving the Chamber of Commerce forward so that it will become
a real support for the City and the businesses in the City and
the surrounding communities.
Ms. Sullivan explained that from now on the City Council will be
getting more information from the advisory groups. The focus
will be shifting from the citizens and their "visioning" to how
will their recommendations be implemented. The Council and staff
will take time to determine if the recommendations are already
implemented or what does the City need to do differently, if
anything. "Visioning" is not a report card. Because there are
recommendations in the visioning statements and the City has some
of the processes currently in place, it does not mean that the
City is not doing what the citizens want them to do. It means
that the citizens are asking the City to recognize that there are
two (2) very similar trains of thought.
Ms. Sullivan noted that the citizens looked at what was in place
for economic development. They are very supportive of what plans
are in place and what direction the City is headed. Although
they may make recommendations or additions or support the
development process, she asked that the Council understand that
the citizens do not feel that the City is doing a bad job. It
means that it is important enough to the citizens to make it a
highlight of their recommendations.
Ms. Sullivan provided copies of the agendas for the advisory
groups so that if the City Council and staff found a particular
issue that they would like to come and listen to they could
adjust their schedules. At this point the focus and
responsibilities will be shifting from the citizens groups to
City staff. Ms. Sullivan will be working more closely with staff
and Council to help them to analyze the vision statements
according to what is currently being done and to look at ways to
implement the recommendation or highlight them. It is fully
expected that there will be comments from the City Council such
as how supportive the 20/20 Visioning groups are of the City
Council and highlight some things that could be changed. Ms.
Sullivan felt that the citizen recommendations are well
considered and very common sensed. She said the citizens have
put a lot of work into the "visioning" statements and they should
be a valuable instrument in letting the City Council know what
the citizen direction is and how closely the City fits this
direction. The purpose is to see that the City Council, staff
PAGE 3
14
COUNCIL MEETING MAY 8, 1995
and citizens are all on the same track and have the same picture
of where the City is headed. Once this is determined, then the
City Council and staff have to move to the balance of the
planning process. City Council and staff will look at department
plans and how departments prioritized the issues addressed in the
20/20 Visioning.
Ms. Sullivan invited staff and City Council to attend the
meetings as visitors. She felt that attendance at these meetings
will give a better understanding of what the citizens are
expecting and allow opportunity for feedback. Ms. Sullivan said
that when something is said that is not understood, the City
Council and /or staff can come to her or Dan Tesch to be sure that
the communication is there.
The advisory groups are in the middle of a focus shift and are on
track and moving forward. The "visions" will be finalized in the
next two (2) weeks and work will done on the final presentation
to the City Council. Ms. Sullivan encouraged the City Council
and staff to let her or Mr. Tesch know if they have any questions
or concerns.
Mayor Reinert thanked Ms. Sullivan for her report.

CONSIDERATION OF A NORTH CENTRAL CABLE TV REPORT, DAN TESCH
Mr. Tesch presented the annual report for the North Central
Suburban Cable Communications Commission (NCSCCC). He explained
that the report contained information regarding projects that
were completed in 1994 and statistics regarding the number of
subscribers in Lino Lakes as well as the number of potential
subscribers and franchise fees paid to the City.
Mr. Tesch noted some projects and issues that were considered
during 1994. These include:

COUNCIL MEETING
- Rate Regulation
MAY 8, 1995
- The second round of FCC rate regulations
were implemented which had the direct affect
of reducing subscribers rates.
- Telecommunication Legislation - A bill was introduced into the
Legislature which would have regulated use
of municipal rights -of -way by new
communication providers. This legislation
did not pass in 1994 but will be re-
introduced.
- Transfer of Community Programming - The NCSCCC has begun
negotiations with Meredith Cable to
establish a non - profit corporation which
would oversee community programming.
Mr. Tesch further explained the proposed telecommunation
legislation. Telephone communications are now able to provide
cable service to homes through the telephone lines presently in
place. They are not affected by community programming and do not
pay municipal franchise fees. The telephone is basic and is
needed, however, a cable company is a for profit business
providing entertainment and goes through municipal rights -of -way.
Therefore, if telephone companies are going to provide services
other than basic telephone, there is the need to re- evaluate to
determine if telephone companies should be classified in the same
manner as cable TV.
Mr. Tesch explained that the NCSCCC is investigating whether they
should be taking responsibility for community programming from
the cable TV company. The cable companies are required to
provide this service but do not want the responsibility. NCSCCC
feels that they may be able to do a better job of community
programming and have decided to establish a nonprofit corporation
in case that NCSCCC decides to follow through on this program.
Council Member Kuether asked how many subscribers does Meredith
Cable serve at this time. Mr. Tesch said about 25,000. Council
Member Kuether noted that cable companies who have less than
15,000 customers are no longer bound by some legislation passed
earlier. Mr. Tesch noted other savings contained in the earlier
legislation; 1) cable company no longer can charge for cable T V
remote control devices, 2) cannot charge for additional outlets
in the home, and 3) reduced some costs for maintenance and repair
service.
Mayor Reinert thanked Mr. Tesch for his report.

COUNCIL MEETING MAY 8, 1995
PLANNING AND ZONING REPORT, MARY RAY WYLAND
Consideration of Preliminary Plat for Behm's Century Farms - Ms.
Wyland used the overhead project and explained that the City
Council reviewed this request at the April 24, 1995 City Council
meeting. The request involves a 105 single family lot
subdivision, a rezone from Rural to Single - Family (R -1) for a
portion of the Lino Air Park lots that are intended to be
included in this subdivision, and a Planned Development Overly
(PDO) for the Lino Air Park lots. At the Council meeting there
were several questions raised concerning the subdivision and PDO
for the Lino Air Park lots. Since the meeting, staff has
reviewed the Council concerns with the developer and the
following paragraphs outline the resolution to the concerns.
Concerning the temporary cul -de -sac at the end of the 1st
addition, the developer has decided to increase the 1st addition
by two (2) lots which will allow a temporary cul -de -sac to be
constructed at an intersection. This arrangement meets the
requirements outlined in the staff report of April 7, 1995 and
concurs with the Planning and Zoning Board recommendation.
The developer has discussed two (2) options pertaining to the
"abut" lot detailed in the April 7, 1995 planning report. Option
No. 1 would involve the placement of restrictive covenants on the
two (2) corner lots which would insure their orientation to the
north, rather than the east or west, thus eliminating the "abut"
lot problem of back yards abutting side yards. Option No. 2
would eliminate the "abut" lot completely, however, this option
is less desirable from the developers standpoint.
The third concern expressed by the City Council involved the
development of protective covenants on the Lino Air Park lots.
Staff has completed a detailed review of the proposed covenants
with the developer. A copy of the covenants were included with
the City Council packets for their review. It is recommended
that the covenants be made a part of the subdivision approval.
Prior to the final plat, staff will insure that the covenants are
recorded with the Lino Air Park lots and made a permanent part of
the development agreement.
Ms. Wyland recommended that the City Council approve the
preliminary plat as shown on the overhead projector with
conditions outlined in the April 7, 1995 planning report which
include the revised restrictive covenants, a revised plat
indicating a north orientation with deed restrictions on the lots
east and west of the "abut" lot, and the construction of a
temporary cul -de -sac at the north /west terminus of the first
addition.

COUNCIL MEETING MAY 8, 1995
Council Kuether referred to the restrictive covenants and read
Item No. 8, "the hangars are for the exclusive use of the
property owner for storage of airplanes ". She did not feel this
covenant was necessary and was too restrictive for people who
would be second or third home buyers and do not have airplanes.
Council Member Kuether noted that another restrictive covenant
requires that the hangars not be used for commercial purposes.
Council Member Kuether referred to the restrictive covenants and
read No. 11, "property owners may be allowed two (2) years from
occupancy to construct a hangar ". Ms. Wyland explained that this
covenant was added so that airplanes would not be stored outside
for more than two (2) years. Council Member Kuether suggested
that this covenant be tied to the purchase of the airplane rather
than the construction of the hangar. She noted again that some
buyers may not have airplanes. Ms. Wyland suggested that the
covenant read, "property owners may be allowed two (2) years from
the purchase of an airplane to construct a hangar ". Council
Member Kuether agreed.
Council Member Neal asked if a street will be constructed from
Sunset Road to Lake Drive. Mr. Powell explained that the line
that Council Member Neal is referring to is an easement for a
drainage ditch. Ms. Wyland explained that Thomas Street will
never be extended to the west because of a large drainage ditch.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the preliminary plat with
conditions outlined in the April 7, 1995 planning report which
include the revised restrictive covenants, a revised plat
indicating a north orientation with deed restrictions on lots
east and west of the "abut" lot, and the construction of a
temporary cul -de -sac at the north /west terminus of the first
addition, with the revision of restrictive covenant No. 8 to
read, "property owners may be allowed two (2) years from purchase
of airplane to construct a hangar" and revision of restrictive
covenant No. 11 beginning with "property owners" to read,
"property owners may be allowed two (2) years from the purchase
of an airplane to construct a hangar ". Council Member Bergeson
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
SECOND READING, Ordinance No. 07 - 95 Rezone from Rural (R) to
Single Family Residential (R -1), Behm's Century Farms - Ms.
Wyland explained that the City Council approved the FIRST READING
of this ordinance at their April 24, 1995 meeting. The rezone
pertains to Lots 10 through 16, Block 2 of the existing Lino Air
Park North plat and is necessary to facilitate the development of
Behm's Century Farms, first and second additions.
Council Member Elliott moved to approve the SECOND READING of
PAGE 7
COUNCIL MEETING
MAY 8, 1995
Ordinance No. 07 - 95 and dispense with the reading. Council
Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Ordinance No. 07 - 95 can be found at the end of these minutes.
SECOND READING, Ordinance No. 08 - 95, Planned Development
Overlay (PDO) for Lino Air Park Lots - Ms. Wyland explained that
the City Council approved the FIRST READING of this ordinance at
their April 24, 1995 meeting. The ordinance places a PDO onto a
portion of the Lino Air Park North plat that is being
incorporated into the Behm's Century Farms development. The PDO
will contain all provisions approved in review of the preliminary
plat.
Council Member Bergeson asked if this action makes these lots
essentially the same as the existing Air Park lots. Ms. Wyland
explained that the lots in Behm's Century Farms will be smaller
and the PDO will place more restrictive conditions on them.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve the SECOND READING of
Ordinance No. 08 - 95 and dispense with the reading, rezoning the
Behm's Century Farms Air Park lots to R -1 with a PDO. Council
Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Ordinance No. 08 - 95 can be found at the end of these minutes.
CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT, JOHN POWELL
Consideration of a Petition Requesting an Environmental
Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for Trapper's Crossing - Mr. Powell
explained that the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) received a
petition requesting that an EAW be prepared for the Trapper's
Crossing subdivision. The petition was forwarded to the City of
Lino Lakes on March 29, 1995 for the City to decide on the need
for an EAW. The petition was referred to SEH, the consultant
assigned to this project, to make a recommendation regarding the
petition. SEH has determined that preparation of an EAW for this
project is not mandatory. As the project is also not
specifically exempted, the City must decide in accordance with
Minnesota Rules, Part 4410.1100, Subpart 6, whether or not an EAW
is to be prepared. Based on the SEH review of the petition it
appears that the petition fails to demonstrate the project may
have the potential for significant environmental effects.
Therefore, preparation of an EAW is not required.
Regardless of the City Council's action on this matter, the
concerns noted by the nearby residents at the May 3, 1995 City
Council work session will be forwarded to the developer for
consideration during final design of the improvements. The
PAGE 8
1
1
1
COUNCIL MEETING MAY 8, 1995
developer should also be directed to monitor the drainfield at
6275 Holly Drive to determine if the subdivision improvements are
rendering it unusable.
Mr. Powell noted that Mr. Rocky Keehn and Ms. Bettendorf who
prepared the review letter from SEH are in the audience and are
available to answer questions.
Council Member Neal asked who would pay for the EAW if the City
Council would require preparation of one. Mr. Powell explained
that if an EAW would be prepared, the developer would pay the
cost.
Council Member Elliott moved to deny the EAW petition for the
reasons presented in the SEH letter to Ms. Wyland dated April 20,
1995. Council Member Bergeson seconded the motion.
Chris Lyden, 6275 Holly Drive - Mr. Lyden said he is concerned
because this process started March 29, 1995 when the EQB sent a
letter to the City. The reason the citizens had concerns
initially is because Trapper's Crossing has been in process for
over a year and yet the residents have not seen any detail work
on the water run -off effects. Mr. Lyden noted that this plat
still has not been approved by Rice Creek Watershed District
(RCWD). He said that the residents concerns led them to petition
for the EAW.
Mr. Lyden referred to the March 29th letter, item No. 4, which
states that the City has 30 working days to determine if the
petition is to be approved or denied. He expressed concern
regarding the process. SEH sent a letter to the City on April
20, 1995 and it was not considered by the City Council until the
May 3, 1995 work session. In the meantime, citizens obtained a
copy of the SEH letter and appeared at the May 3, 1995 meeting to
ask questions about its contents. At that meeting the citizens
were told that the City Council was just now reviewing the letter
and would be addressing it this evening. Mr. Lyden explained
that the deadline for action on the EAW petition was this evening
and asked when was there any opportunity for citizens to review
the report with the City Council so that an amicable decision
could be made? Could the SEH response have been reviewed earlier
to provide more dialogue and a better understanding could have
been reached? Mayor Reinert noted that at the work session,
Council Members were asked to contact Mr. Powell if they had any
concerns or questions about the SEH letter and recommendation.
Mr. Powell explained that at the work session, he commented that
the citizens received a copy of the SEH letter before the City
Council did. He felt that this was inappropriate because
PAGE 9
COUNCIL MEETING MAY 8, 1995
telephone calls would be generated and City Council would be
caught uninformed. Mr. Powell explained that when staff is
assigned a particular task, they prefer discussing the task with
the City Council at a meeting rather than just handing them a
document. The first opportunity that staff had to review the SEH
letter with the City Council and answer questions was at the May
3, 1995 Council work session.
Mr. Lyden said that some of the citizens feel that it is
inappropriate that a time constraint be put on this situation
because it does not leave an opportunity for the citizens to have
any input or have a good dialogue.
Mr. Lyden referred to Mr. Powell's "green sheet" and read the
sentence that recommended that the developer be directed to
monitor the septic system at 6275 Holly Drive, his home. He felt
that this was a strong statement. Mr. Lyden asked Mr. Hawkins
who is responsible for seeing that the developer follows through
on this direction? What happens if there is an impact on the
drainfield. Mr. Powell's sentence does not carry much weight.
What does monitor mean? Mayor Reinert explained that Mr. Lyden
brought this matter to the City Council's attention at the work
session and this is addressed as a curtesy to Mr. Lyden. Mr.
Lyden asked who is going to monitor the septic system and at what
cost to whom? Mr. Powell read the entire sentence in his "green
sheet" and explained that it is the developers responsibility to
specifically monitor the drainfield periodically and especially
to get a good look at what is there before any development
begins. Periodic inspection should continue particularly after
significant grading of the ponds and outlets takes place. Mr.
Powell said that the developer will ultimately have to deal with
any adverse affects if any occurs. He suggested that the City
Council motion should include language indicating that the
developer will be doing the monitoring and repair /replacement at
his cost, if adverse affects occur.
Council Member Kuether asked if there should be a signed document
stating that Mr. Lyden is giving authority for the developer to
enter his property to monitor and repair /replace if necessary?
Mr. Lyden said that Mr. Hokanson has access to his property to
monitor the drainfield throughout the life of the improvements.
Mr. Lyden asked if the developer has full responsibility for
monitoring and repair if there is a failure? Mayor Reinert said
yes but strongly urged that the system be inspected prior to
development, during development and after the development is
completed.
Mr. Lyden noted that one reason for requesting the EAW was to
PAGE 10

COUNCIL MEETING MAY 8, 1995
address the control of the volume of water leaving the
development. The citizens feel that since there is no control, a
lake could be created in this area. Mr. Powell explained that
the general requirement is that the rate of run -off is controlled
but the volume is not. With the size of existing wetlands, water
bodies and downstream waterways, SEH's review has indicated that
there is no concern regarding the volume. Mr. Powell felt that
SEH has responded completely to the concerns raised in the
petition and were very thorough in reviewing the hydrology in
relation to specific questions. Mayor Reinert noted that the SEH
letter outlines the basis on which ponds are placed in any
development throughout the City.
Council Member Bergeson asked Mr. Powell to comment on when the
preliminary plat will go to RCWD. Mr. Powell said that it should
go to the next meeting this month. At this time a permit has not
been issued.
Council Member Bergeson noted that there is a motion on the floor
dealing with only the petition for the EAW. He suggested that
after the Council takes action on this motion, another motion
should be introduced instructing staff to forward the concerns of
the residents to the developer.
Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously.
Council Member Bergeson moved to direct City staff to forward to
the developer the concerns raised at the work session and this
evening and also directing the developer to monitor the
drainfield at 6275 Holly Drive to determine if there is any
affect on the drainfield at the developers cost. Council Member
Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Powell noted that staff will be notifying the EQB and will
take the necessary steps to publish the decision of the City
Council.
Consideration of Resolution No. 95 - 59 Restricting Parking on
North Road - Mr. Powell explained that in order to allow the
intersection of North Road and Lake Drive to function properly,
parking cannot be allowed on North Road. The banning of parking
on North Road must be formally approved by the City Council, with
a copy of the resolution forwarded to MnDOT, to facilitate final
approval of the plans by the State. The construction documents
include installation of the no parking signs as part of the Lake
Drive (CSAH 23) /Hodgson Road (Highway 49) project.
Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 - 59 as
presented. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion
PAGE 11

COUNCIL MEETING MAY 8, 1995
carried unanimously.
Resolution No. 95 - 59 can be found at the end of these minutes.
PARK BOARD REPORT, MARTY ASLESON
Consideration of a Donation for Park Trails in Shenandoah
Subdivision - Mr. Asleson explained that Mr. and Mrs. Lund wish
to donate the westerly 32 feet x 133 feet of their property at
480 Arrowhead Drive to the City for park trail location purposes.
There is an existing ditch which physically separates this 32
foot wide strip of land from the balance of their 114 foot lot
(total frontage of 146 feet) making maintenance difficult.
Mr. and Mrs. Lund are willing to donate this property to the City
in exchange for the following items:
1. A new certificate of survey of each new parcel indicating
the new property line. The approximate cost of the survey
is $400.00.
2. An appraisal of the property to facilitate a partial
mortgage release. The approximate cost of the appraisal is
$400.00.
3. A partial mortgage release from the lender.
cost of the mortgage release is $250.00.
4. Miscellaneous Anoka County recording fees.
cost of the recording fees is $25.00.
Other associated costs with this project include:
The approximate
The approximate
1. Trail preparation, concrete pipe extension (approximately 30
feet), 100 cubic yards of fill for the ditch crossing. The
approximate cost of these items is $3,000.00.
2. Trail grading and placement of base rock. The approximate
cost would be $800.00.
The total project cost is approximately $5,000.00.
The Park Board considered the donation at the May 1, 1995 meeting
and made a motion recommending approval and use of Park Dedicated
Funds to accept and expedite the project.
Council Member Kuether question the need for a mortgage release
which would cost approximately $250.00. Mr. Hawkins explained
that this is not unusual because lenders do not want to

jeopardize their security (property).
Council Member Elliott moved to approve the Park Boards motion as
presented. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion
carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF THE BUILDING DEPARTMENTS FIRST OUARTER REPORT,
PETER KLUEGEL
Mr. Kluegel presented his Building Activity report for the first
three (3) months of 1995.
There were 63 building permits issued during the first quarter of
1995 with a valuation of $4,586,944.00. This represents a
decrease of 45 permits and $3,774,850.00 of valuation from the
first quarter of 1994. A total of 33 single family home permits
were issued and this represents a decrease of 43 permits issued

CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT, BILL HAWKINS
Consideration of Approving a Purchase Agreement for Well Site No.
3, LaMotte Property, Birch Street - Mr. Hawkins explained that he
met with Mr. and Mrs. LaMotte just prior to the meeting this
evening. The LaMotte's have proposed a slight change in location
of the well site. The proposed change should be discussed with
the consulting engineer on this project. Mr. Hawkins recommended
that the matter be tabled until the May 22, 1995 Council meeting.
Council Member Elliott moved to table action on this matter until
the next City Council meeting. Council Member Bergeson seconded
the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
OLD BUSINESS
There was no old business.
NEW BUSINESS
Consideration of an Application for Authorization for Exemption
from Lawful Gambling License, Lino Lakes Elementary Parent
Advisory Group - Mrs. Anderson explained that each year the Lino
Lakes Elementary Parent Advisory Group conducts one raffle to
raise money for their school related projects. This is the only
gambling occasion that they cdnduct.
State Law allows non - profit organizations to apply for an
exemption from obtaining a gambling license if they hold fewer
