The Clerk had received a note from Norman E. Schmidt, Postmaster at Circle Pines,
asking that tree branches hanging over mailboxes be removed at 7064, 7071,7072, and
7080 Sunset Avenue. After discussion, Mr. Rosengren stated that he would have this ,
doe.
Marvin Rehbein had sent a letter requesting the withdrawal of their bid bond on the
Sanitary Sewer and Watermain project since thebbulk of the work would now be done
after September let when new wage rates would be in effect and since they have acquired
other work. Mr. Locher stated that they could demand this since we have gone beyond
the 60 days. He recommended that we discuss this with Mr. Gotwald and accept another
bidder or advertise again. Mr. Cardinal moved to accept the letter and return the
bid bond to Marvin Rehbein. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously.
A letter received from Robert Burman stated in part, "As soon as we are sure the
legislature does not create a metro park system, I will meet.with.you and discuss any
and all problems,that you are concerned with relating to this park. relating to
Centerville Park.. Mr. Jaworski stated that we should write to the Co", mmissioners to
the effect that one of the reasons we are being pushed by the Metro Council is the
failure of the County to proceed with a park system. He noted that the road on the,
south side of Centerville Lake has been on the agenda for 3 years with no progress.
After discussion it was decided that the Clerk would write to Mr. Burman again asking
for completion of the road es well as the previously requested improvements to the park.
Another letter had been received from Mr. Burman regarding the county throughfare plan
and requesting a list of our top priorities in County roads. Crystal Ahlmen suggested
that an access to the south on 135E be made from I35W at their juncture. .It was noted
that this was not a County project. Denny Houle suggested that they construct 80th
Street all the way•through to Main Street which would give access to both freeways;
the bridge over 135E is already there. Mr. Houle noted that there are no East -West
roads in this park of the Metro area. After discussion, Mr. Jaworski asked Mr.
Rosengren to get together with Mr. Gotwald to. decide on the priorities and report at
the next meeting when the matter will be on the agenda. It was noted that some
trading on roads may hove to be done; also that this should be discussed with the
County at the meeting on No. 54.
A letter was received from E. J. Lundheim, County Engineer, stating that the read
straightening project on Birch Street was completed, and that the ole road alignment
reverts to the control and authority of Lino Lakes. He suggested that we request
the Anoka County Highway Dept. to do the necessary snow plowing and ordinary maintenance
for which we would be billed'annually commencing on September let, nett. Mr. Rosengren
felt that the curve banking should be filled some for ease,in maintenance; the fellows
4
7/26/71
will haul in a couple loads of blacktop. Mr. Bohjanen felt that we should acknowledge
the letter and request they services. Mr. Jaworski stated that this would be taken up
at the meeting on No. 54. Mr. Rosengren felt that a letter should go to the County
later which would list all the services requested. Mrs. Goldbeck asked who maintains
the shoulders on Main Street & Sunset and was advised that the County does.
A letter regarding an accident at the Lino Lakes Riding Stables was received from
Mrs. Gerald A. Pehl of 55 East Golden Lake Road in Circle Pines. She felt,
"that the Lino Lakes Village Council and_a very unsuspecting public should he
aware of the irresponsible operation of this stable, their lack of liability
insurance and the fact that cries for help were completely ignored." Mr. Jaworekci
noted that at the hearing =rescinding the special use permit he had suggested
that they get liability insurance but they had pleaded that it was'too expensive end
that other stables did not have it. , Persons in the audience felt that the liability
insurance should be required for the operating permit. He stated that the Mayor had
asked himself, Marvin Myhre and Mr. Dupre to inspect the Lino Lakes Stables before the
next Council meeting.
The Clerk had received a letter from the State Highway Dept. stating that the letter
requesting information on candlepower requirements on signs had been referred to Mr.
R. A. Kurpins, Asst. Traffic Engineer, Plans, State Highway Building. , Mr. Jaworeki felt
that the information, when received, should go to the P&Z since they have discussed the
matter several times.
Western Outdoor Advertising Co. had replied to the letter requesting then to bring Sign
No. 17 up to specs by stating that they will add pole covers to front and back all the
way up the poles and paint all lumber exposed; also, the poles exceed the ordinance
windload specs. The Clerk noted that this sign had been erected before the adoption
of Ord. 51 and was not of all -steel oonstruotion. It was dedided to have the Building
Inspector inspect the sign and make sure the whole sign meete the specs.
At 8:33 P.M. the regular meeting was adjourned and the hearing on the Zoning District
Code called to order. Mr. Locher read the publication affidavit and the posting
affidavit. He noted that the hearings were to have been held in June, but had been
continued to July 21st before the )&Z and tonight before the Council.,
Mr, Locher read through the recommended changes by the Planning & Zoning Board, basically
as follows:
1. Page 9, Seotion 4.08 FARMING OPERATIONS, lst paragraph, last sentence
to read as follows: "The Village Council may require any new farm
operation to secure a Speoial Use Permit,in the event of the following
2. ,Page 37, Top of page, Change "(D)" to read "Financial Institution."
3. Page 34, second paragraph, typographical error " fiase" should read
"false ".
4. Page 36, remove extra "(J) ".
He also read the list of items which the P&Z had discussed. Denny Houle asked for
clarification on the meatng of "new" farming operations. .This was discussed. Mr.
Locher noted that a new owner would not be a new use, but a change in farming operations,
i.e., cattle to pigs, would be. Mr. Bohjanen felt that he would prefer that we took
consideration with a full Council since we are setting a complete code. Mi. Jaworski
stated that he had talked with the Mayor about the Zoning District Code, and that
the Mayor was in full agreement with it; this had been on the drawing board for a
long time,and he would vote for it if he were present. Mr. Bohjanen felt we should
go slow on proposing zoning.

7/26/71
Mr. Locher pointed out that there is no zoning map with this code so that
existing zoning is in effect. Crystal stated that she wanted to see the zoning
map and that the Council should wait for it before adopting this code. Mr.
,Jaworski pointed out that we were not zoning anything. There was considerable
discussion. Mr. Cardinal pointed out that the P&Z had recommended adoption
of the zoning code as changed above.
Mr. Cardinal moved to accept the Zoning District Code (Ord. #56) as amended by
the Planning and Zoning Board above, providing that Mr. Jaworski talked to
the Mayor. The vote was taken as follows: Mr. Jaworski, Aye; Mr. Cardinal, Aye;
Mr. Rosengren, Aye; Mr. Bohjanen, No. Carried.
Mr. Locher noted that the Zoning District Code (Ord. #56) must be published, and
asked the Clerk to send him the corrected sheets. Crystal stated that the
P&Z meets before and after their meetings at home to do business. The public
is unaware of what they do. Mr. Cardinal moved to close the hearing at 8:58 P.M.
Seconded by Mr. Rosengren, Carried unanimoue*y.
The regular business meeting resumed. The Clerk reported that she bad received
-2 copies of the first "Letter" from the State Dept. of'Administration concerning
the new State Building Code. The Clerk was asked to send one copy to the
Building Inspeotor.and to make copies for the Council.
Joe Davis had requested a 3.2 beer permit for a Lion's Club softball tournament
to be held on August 15th at Sunrise Park. Mr. Locher, who is familiar with the
Lion's Club insurance, stated that they have no liability for liquor, but
there is.a question on 3.2 beer. Mr, Cardinal moved to grant the beer permit
to the Lion's Club as requested. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimousl1r.
Mr. Jaworski stated that Mr. Davis had called him and invited the Council to attend
the game between the WCCO Wildcats and the Lion's Club members at 1:30 on the 15th.
The Clerk inquired whether the Council wished to continue the maintenance
contract on the IBM Selectrio typewriter. Mr. Bohjanen moved to continue the
contract for $42.00 per year. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried unanimously.
Mr. Ellingsen.had left copies of a pamphlet on wild hemp as well as a sample.
A letter from NSP requested a list of construction projects planned for 1972
by August 6th in order to prepard cost estimates for their budget. Mr. Rosen -
gren.suggested a list of street lights and was asked to make one up. Suggestion
given were: corner of Linda and Lauren, pond by the Hall, Pine St. at #23,
Linda St. & Hodgson Rd., Cty. J and Holly Dr., Main St. by the freeway service
road.
The Clerk reported that she had checked the minutes from 1953 to 1967 inclusive
looking for references to the maintenance of Holly Drive between Norm Miller's
and Grygelko's, but had found nothing specific. She had found, however, in
a Supervisor's Road Order Book, the laying out of a 4 -rod road in 1886 coin-
ciding with Holly Rrive between 12th Avenue and Centerville Road. Mr. Cardinal
stated that he recalled no work having ever been done on that particular
stretch in question. Pete Scherer asked why the police, buses, and mailmen
used the road if it waan't.a Village road. .He noted, too, that the County
Sheriff had given tickets for littering on Holly Dr. Crystal interjected a
thank you for the street work done in Twilight Acres. There was discussion.
Mr. Locher noted that a petition had been received and notices posted in 1886,
He thought the road might possible have been maintained for a while and then
abandoned.
Denny Houle stated that he had worked in the gravel pit in 1939 or 40 when
they were hauling gravel on Holly Drive; .he felt that since the trucks drove
7/26/71
in it it was a public road. Mr. Cardinal replied that 12th Avenue wasn't much of a
road until Norm Miller moved in, so that they held to one in the other way. Mr.
Scherer noted that the rest of East. Holly was in the same shape as the bad part before
Grygelko's moved in; however, the bad part is no problem since everyone has a way out.
Mr. Cardinal stated that it was simply a shortcut.
After further discussion, Mr. Locher suggested that the first step would be to refer
the book to the Engineer to see if the road is where it is described to be, and
thought it would be a good idea if he checked all the roads in the book. He noted
that ,there was an award,of damages to the signers of the petition and that section
corner markers are mentioned. Mr. Cardinal stated that he doubtedithat the road-
way had changed except to straddle holes since there had always been fences along
it on both sides. He stated,that,he bad seen a later mep showing the road cutting.
across Ralstead's place. He felt, that it should be referred to the Engineer for a
report.
Discussion turned to the Caron hayroad which was scheduled later on the agenda. The
Clerk had found the laying out of this road also in the same book as well as a note
in the minutes that Don Paul and Jesse Heller had come to a meeting in 1964 to discuss
their private road. Mr. Locher read the description of the road, which runs on the N-S
quarter- section line from the NE corner of the SW 1/4 of $W 1/4 of Section 10 to its
intersection with the St. Paul and Kettle River Road (now Main St.) Mr. Rosengren noted
that the jog in the toad at its North end was due to a waterhole. Mr. Locher stated
that Mr. Caron would be safe if he put the fence 16 1/2 feet off the quarter section
line. Mr. Caron stated that he wanted.to fence his property so that his cattle could
graze and thus eliminate a fire hazard. Mr. Locher stated that the Village could
consider abandoning the road but other parties have a.right'to be heard., Mr. Locher
noted also that several pages of the.book were missing.
After discussion, Mr. Bohjanen moved to have the Engineer check the book and to find,
the correct lines for the 2 roads in question above. Seconded by llir. Cardinal.
Carried unanimously.
Mr. Cardinal reported that Mr. Pete Nadeau had asked for.a variance on a piece of land
on Birch St., which had provoked lots of discussion at the P&Z. Mr. Nadeau wants to
put in drain tile since the land is low to the North of this piece. Mr. Nadeau stated
that there was a natural waterway directly West of his piece, and that even if he split
off a bigger piece the house would still have to go in the same place. After discussion,
Mr. Cardinal moved to grant Pete Nadeau a variance, with the stipulation that Mr. •
Gotwald cheek out.the drainage first, on the following described property ;.
The westerly 120 feet of the easterly 328.71 feet of.the southerly.
208.71 feet of the Northeast Quarter of Section 26, T31,R22,Anoka
County, Minnesota. Subjec r to Birch St.
Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried unanimously. Mr. Nadeau was advised to wait
until the Engineer had checked this out in order to protect all involved; then the
Clerk will write the variance for the building permit.
Imo. Cardinal moved to grant a variance to Ken Rehbein, on the Planning and Zoning
Board's recommendation, on the following described piece of land:
The East 13 feet of the West 163 feet of the South 252 feet of Lot 19,
Audi, Sub. No. 138, Anoka Co. Mn. Subject to CSAH. No. 14.
Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously.
Mr. Jaworski had no report. Mr. Rosengren stated that they have been working on
the East County Line and 50th. They had run into more expense about half way
through; he estimated the total to be about $10,000 when finished. He stated that
it would be another week before they are done; then they would begin cutting weeds.
Mr. Bohjanen asked if they would cut around the entrance signs, then stated that he
would do the hand cutting himself some night.
7/26/71

Mr. Rosengren felt that we should obtain more of the right equipment to do the
weed cutting twice next year before the weeds get too large; also, kids hide in
them and run out on the road. Mr. Jaworski asked if they had checked out the
sickle blade; Mr. Rosengren stated that would see if -it fits, it will be mounted
underneath in view of the driver. Mr. Rosengren stated that he hasn't forgotten
the drainage in the Lakeview area; this will be done in the fall.
Mr. Bohjanen had no report. Mr. Locher stated that the policy of insurance for
the Blue Heron was okay except for the 10-day cancellation clause. The same
was true for the insurance on the 49 Club.
A Minnesota Youth Citizenship Fund Inc. questionaire had been received. Mr.
Locher noted some answers as follows: college students can be registered here,
but must also vote here; it is against State law to register voters in
stores, etc.; a mobile registration unit cannot solicit.voters nor rove from
place to place; mobile units may be in different places on different days as
previously scheduled; as to proof of residency, an oath prescribed under
election law must be sworn to.'
Mr. Locher had checked the bond coupons returned by Northwestern National
Bank on the building bond and stated they should be filed.
Mr. Locher reported that a petition from the Chomonix people had been presented
to the Clerk; he read the petition for sewer and water improvements in all
the Blocks and Outlots in Lakes Addition No. 2, excluding, however, Outlots
C and I thereof. The petition was signed by Emil F. Jandric, Pres. of U. S.
Lakes Development Co. and his signature was notarized. Mr. Locher stated
that he had personally checked -the plat; he read the lot numbers inclusive
in all the 8 blocks of the plat as well as the Outlots included (which were
all except those 2 in the golf course, which would be served by Jandric's
own pump and well and which would have no lavatory).
Mr. Locher stated that this petition was in accordance with State law regarding
a 100% assessment against property owned by the petitioner; no hearings would
be needed. Crystal made a few comments including some on an ad for Chomonix
in the newspapers which did not mention Lino Lakes, but stated that sewer and
water are available. She felt it was unfair that Jandric: should get sewer when
no one else could. Mrs. Goldbeck mentioned a letter she had received from the
County Health Dept. stating that she was poluting the area and needed additions
on her septic system. There was considerable discussion. Mr. Jaworski noted
that if Lino Lakes oan't hook up to the Metro interceptor, then Jandric can't
either. Don Woolen of Chomonix noted that they have the Hugo.post office and
must use that mailing address; he would prefer using Lino Lakes, but they lose
2 days mail then. Mr. Bohjanen stated that he would like to have the County
Health guy here.
Mr. Locher stated that he had prepared a resolution accepting the petition and
ordering the improvements requested; he read the text noting that the resolution
must be passes and published once. He noted that the low sewer bidder is now
out, but that Keyes is honoring his well bid. Another hearing must be held on
the bids.
Councilman Rosengren introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:

The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded
by Councilman Cardinal and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted
AYE: Jaworski, Bohjanen, Cardinal and Rosengren.
and the following voted NO:
None
whereupon ssad resolution was declared passes and adopted.
Mr. Locher stated that the license applications for Lawrence D. Cichy incorporated
as Oasis, Inc. were in. He read Mr. Myhre's recommendation and the letter from
the Brooklyn Park Police Dept., both in favor. The applications were as follows:
off -sale intoxicating with $3000 bond; on -sale intoxicating and Sunday on -sale
intoxicating with a $5000 bond; off -sale 3.2 beer, dance and cigarette licenses.
The insurance policy for B.K.O. Inc. is being transferred to Oasis, Inc.,
effective September 1st.
Mr. Cichy asked about satisfying the residency requirements. He stated that
he had made a down - payment on a house in Lino Lakes, but that he can't move in
until October let. Mr. Locher stated that Mr. Cichy *ust be a resident as of
September 1st; that he might move a cot into the new house or rent a room, a
post. office address at the place of business would not suffice. As for proof
of residency, the police can check.
After further discussion, Mr. Cardinal moved that if Mr. Cichy Will provide a
sworn statement that he will be a resident as of September let, 1971, that he
be granted licenses for all the. applications mentioned, above. Seconded, by
Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously. The Clerk stated that Mr. Cichy had paid
all the pro -rated fees for the licenses, and she will refund the unused portion
1
1
1
of the B.K.O. Inc. fees after September lst. .
The discussion returned to the problem of sanitary sewer for the Village. Mr.
Jaworski asked the Clerk to write to the County Health Department requesting
their presence at the next Council meeting to answer questions. Mrs. Goldbeck
felt that if North Central will not service her area with gas, then Circle Pines
should be allowed to hook up.
Mr. Jaworski moved to table the matter of the proposed ordinance on an environ-
mental quality commission until the next meeting. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen.
Crystal felt that a more aggressive better business commission, i.e., the
Business Development Commission would do better on enforcing such matters than
setting up a new commission; the present commission needs more cooperation.
The vote on the motion was unanimously in favor.
Louis Jaworski requested the use of Sunrise Park by the VFW Club for their
annual picnic on Sunday, August 22nd, and a beer permit. Mr. Jaworski moved to
approve issuing a beer permit to the VFW Club for Sunrise Park on August 22nd,
with the stipulation that the Village receive a letter stating that the VFW is
covered by insurance. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried unanimously.
Denny Houle was asked to report on the audit of the Forest Ike Hospital. Be
stated that there was absolutely no money shortage, that the Hospital Board had
the same problem as the Village, namely that in the old. minutes not every-
thing is documented. ile_felt that the audit report was far- fetched in some
aspects. In one instance they were censured because State law only allows a
Hospital Board to pay $1.00 per hour for election clerks and they had paid Lino
Lakes election clerks $2.35'per hour.
Another case was that they had purchased a total of 167 gallons of gasoline from
a Holiday Station without collecting a refund of the Federal tax which would
have amounted to about $6,00., The audit report had.stated that illegal uses
of money included sending flowers to the families of deceased members of the
old hospital board as well as the new one; this had been done with - approval of
all the Board members but was not documented. They had donated 1 case of whiskey
to the ambulance drivers who work for free. They had also donated a case of
whiskey to the Forest Lake Fire Dept. after the Dept. bad not only put out a
fire in the hospital's lab but pfd cleaned up the lab for immediate use after-
wards. This whiskey had subsequently been raffled off.
Mr. Houle stated that overpayments not documented in the minutes were on the
records that the Board sees each month. Another item, that the bank accepted
deposits in excess of 90% of the collateral, had been rectified. The hospital
used -a business method of accounting different from the State method, The audit
had said the hospital made no profit last year, denoting the profit as capital
expenditures.
Mr. Houle stated that the Hospital Board feels that they,have done nothing
morally wrong. They were unaware of an Attorney General's opinion that employees
cannot -be paid for working their vacations. This was done in the case of the
administrator, nurses and administrative personnel who woad have had to be re-
placed by new people if they had taken their vacations. Since these persons
could not take advantage of their vacation time and wished,to work instead, the
Board had felt it to the benefit of the hospital to employ them rather than
hire new people. Mr. Houle stated thst the Attorney General's Opinion in
question refers to County Highway employees and that the Board will ask for
another Opinion in this matter.
Mr. Houle stated that the hospital expects to clear $60,000 this year, which
would be enough-to pay off the remaining bonded indebtedness, but will spend
60
7/26/71
a portion of the money on other items. The audit report will cost $6,600,; the
Board has not decided if they will pay this or not. There was some discussion
on other institutions paying or not paying for working vacations. Mr. Houle
stated that the Board feels that they have one of the top administrators in
the State, that, she could have walked out the door and gotten $6,000 per year
more elsewhere; she has done a tremendous job in taking the hospital from a
$150,000 deficit in 1964 to putting it in the black in 1967 or 68. He noted
that Blue Cross had done a Medicare audit of the books shortly before the State
Audit and had not found a penny missing.
Mr. Cardinal raised a question on ambulance service, wondering shy a person from
Centerville who wished to go to the Forest Lake Hospital should be dispatched
an ambulance from Mercy Hospital by the Anoka County Sheriff; this driver, not
knowing the shortest way to Forest Lake had taken the long way around. There
was considerable discussion on this, with Mr. Houle noting that their ambulance
is purchasing a radio for contact with Anoka County, and Mr. Myhre stating that
Lino Lakes is considering purchasing additional crystals which will enable our
police to be in contact with the Forest Lake and White Bear Lake ambulances.
Mr. Myhre listed reasons why it is necessary that the police be in direct
contact with ambulance drivers and gave instances of problems and delayed ser-
vice when they were not. , ).-
Mr. Houle -noted that the mill rate on the hospital bond is one of the cheapest
hospital plans we could-have, that the same bonds in the pities xould have
twice the mill rate. He mentioned that it would be cheaper for the hospital
to finance the new addition with general obligation bonds rather than revenue
bonds. There was more discussion on contacting -tie oorreot ambulance. Mr
Houle will check with Forest Lake on the progress of the radio.
Mr. Rosengren asked the Council to set a limit on the money to be spent on
shaping up the pond by the Hall. Following discussion, Mr. Bohjanen.moved to
get a limit of $400 for shaping on the pond. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal.
Carried unanimously. Mr. Rosengren noted that the cost for man and machine is
about $12.00 per hour; the plastic for,the bottom was received free, however,
he is not sure there is quite enough.
A special meeting for discussion on the ad to be placed for a full -time man was
set for Thursday, July 29th at 8:3o-ink;
The police report was read as follows: 2.592.8 miles driven, 222 business and
home check, 34 complaints, 10 assists to/by other departments, 9 legal papers
served, 6 accidents, 5 acts of larceny,.4 aids given to motorists, 4 missing
persons, (4 found) 4 downed power poles attended to, .3 escapees from the Treat-
ment Center (timespent -2 hours), 2 stolen items recovered, 1 emergency message,
1 medical, 24 junk warnings given (result -51 Junkers removed), 1 dog bite, 1
stolen auto, 1 domestic, 1 burglary, 1 alarm false), 1 act of vandalism and 1
abandoned auto attended to.
Mr. Cardinal moved to pay the bills as audited with the exception of the Skelly
Oil bill since the station is not writing the license numbers of the vehicles
on the gas tickets. Also, that the Clerk write to Skelly again to do so.
Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried unanimously.
Mr. Cardinal moved to adjourn at 11 o'clock P.M. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren.:
Aye.
