Mr. Jaworski introduced Mr. Sherman Stromen who requested August 3 and 4 in connection with the Northwest Citizen's to be held Sunrise Park. Mr. Cardinal moved to issue the Knights of Columbus of White Bear Lake provided they show the Clerk. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. a Bingo permit for Band Club Jamboree Bingo permit to the proof of insurance to Mr. Cecil LaMotte appeared to discuss subdivision of lots on his property East of Centerville Road. Mr. L'Allier pointed out that the ordinance states that no building permits would be issued to lots not adjoining an existing roadway.1. Mr. La Mgtte gave the map of the proposed subdivision to the Clerk to forward to Mr. Gotwald and ask him to get in touch with Mr. LaMotte and discuss the plot. Mr. L'Allier mentioned that the on duty Police officers were out of the Village on vacation and all calls should be directed to the Anoka County Sheriff. (427 -1212) Mr. L'Allier announced that the Metropolitan Planning Guide was available to the Council and P&Z members. He pointed out the section which mentioned that Lino Lakes could be used almost completely for parks and playgrounds but did not in- dicate in any way how we would be compensated in taxes, as parks,do not provide a tax base. Mr. L'Allier favored development of lakes with the right kind of buildings to provide the tax base. Mr. L'Allier had talked with Mr. Gary Benyhoff of the State Highway Department about setting up a ribbon cutting ceremony when Highway 35W is completed up to Highway 8; also a similar ceremony when 35E is completed. Mr. L'Allier introduced Mr. Robert Eidem, a Community Planner, for the Office of Local and Urban Affairs, who was present to discuss the 701 Program which is a Federal Aid program to help communities plan for their future growth. Mr. Eidem mentioned that the Office also has many other programs such as training building inspectors and had put out the Metropolitan Development Guide. The Metropolitan Council does not stand behind this Guide and is putting out their own this fall. The "701" Program is Section 701 in the Federal Housing Bill of 1954, and was initiated to give technical assistance to communities through paying a portion of a professional planner's salary and other costs necessary to complete the in- depth study of the future. The Federal Government would pay 2/3 of the costs with the Village paying 1/3, with the State administering the program. It is estimated that Lino Lakes could be eligible for about $12,000 in Federal Funds. (They start with an $8,000 base and figure an additional amount of $1.00 per capita.) The Village would not necessarily have to pay their share all at one time. There are four phases to the program which should take from 18 -24 months to complete. 1. Hard and complete look at the community. 2. State the goals and objectives of the community. 3. Analyze the plans to achieve the goals. 4. Implementation -- land use, zoning, etc. 57 A three -party contract is drawn up among the State, Consultant and the Village. The Village would hire their own consultant and should interview three or four prospects to obtain one with a similar outlook of the community. The consultant would work with the Planning Commission and report to the State about three times a year. The Federal Government would not be involved except to pay their share on a submission of invoice that the contract had been met. Anoka County has almost 100 per cent saturation of professional planning and the state even pays part of the county's share if recreation is emphasized. The Planning Commission would have to be formed by ordinance which has already been been done in Lino Lakes. Mr. Eidem gave Mr. L'Allier a list of Professional Planners and W. L'Allier re- quested the Clerk to make copies for all of the Council, the P&Z and the Park Board. Mr. Jaworski moved to authorize the Planning Board to invite W. Eidem to visit at their next meeting, August 21, and explain planning to the members. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. Cardinal will contact Mr. Eidem again and all the Board members. Mr. Bohjanen moved to have the Clerk send copies of these minutes to the P&Z and the Park Board. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. The Anoka County GOP chairwoman has asked for the number of election judges which will be needed at the next election. Mr. Locher stated that this was a minimum of three judges for the first 150 voters and one additional judge for every 150 voters, with the number of voters based on the last general election. (1966 -- 777 voters) 1tr Jaworski announced that there had been no regular Park Board meeting in July due to vacations. Mr. Bohjanen moved to issue a bingo permit and a beer permit to St. Joseph's Catholic Church for Sunday, August 11, 1968, in connection with their annual chicken dinner. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. Mr. Bohjanen announced that there had been no CODC meeting since the last Council meeting. He stated that he had received complaints from residents along Sunset about chunks of blacktopping and other debris thrown into their yards from the road. This is a county road and Commissioner Burman had been contacted about checking into the matter. Mr. Bohjanen moved to have the Clerk and the Police make a complete itemized list of the costs to the Village of the Youth Center, which would cover all of 1967 and up to the present time. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Copies will be sent to state senators, representatives, county commissioners, etc. Mr. Bohjanen moved that hereafter when there is a public hearing by two boards, the first should be required to recess their meeting so that the second board may then hold their hearing so that the person paying for the hearing is not required to sit through the extended business of the first board. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. The matter of Park Dedication in the Blomquist Addition was discussed. Mr. Bohjanen moved to waive the requirement that the developer dedicate 10 per cent of the land to the Village for parks because the plat had been in the preliminaries long before the ordinance was introduced and the hearing for the final plat had been set before the Ordinance was passed, also because of the heavy traffic in the area and the extremely small size of the plat. Seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Vote: Aye- - Jaworski, Cardinal and Bohjanen. No-- Rosengren and L'Allier. Mr. L'Allier object- ed to the reference of the timing and stated they should not start a precedent for other developers. Mr. Rosengren stated that the packer had been purchased and that the company had brought it up to Village specifications. Craig - Alexander had given the Village another tractor on trial. He had contacted the County about cutting the weeds along the Village roads and they are not interested because of a lack of manpower. Mr. Bohjanen moved that Mr. Rosengren be authorized to contact Robert Lundgren and offer him the job of mowing for the lump sum of $345. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Rosengren stated that he is obtaining private bids for prime and seal coating of Bald Eagle Boulevard and Rolling Hills Drive. Cdr. Jaworski moved to authorize Mr. Rosengren to obtain whatever gravel fill is necessary to fill in holes behind the barn at Sunrise Park before August, third. Seconded by Mr. Rosengren. Carried. Mr. L'Alliermentioned he had had calls from Mr. Hamelin on Oak Lane and Mr. Emmet Liebel on Birch Street concerning road and drainage problems. Mr. Rosengren will check into these matters. The Planning and Zoning Board minutes for July were read. Mr. Locher stated that he had just received the abstract from Mr. Blomquist and would have to bring it up -to -date, and then the matter would be all taken care of as soon as the Mayor and the Clerk- Treasurer sign the plat. Mr. Cardinal stated that a special meeting of the P&Z had been set for July 31 to discuss trailer courts in Lino Lakes with school board members. Mr. Locher stated that he now had the legal description for Aqua Floats, Corp., and in his opinion this land should be rezoned commercial as a special use permit is stretching the limits of the residential zoning. At this point a letter from Mr. and Mrs. J.O. Michaud was read stating their opposition to any development around Rice Lake which would add to the water level. It did not mention any opposition to rezoning Aqua Floats property to commercial. Mr. Rosengren moved that by resolution of the Village Council a public hearing be held on the question of whether or not Aqua Floats, Corp. property having the following legal description: Gov't Lot 4, Section 20, Township 31 N, Range 22 W, Anoka County, Minnesota lying South of Town Road now known as Aqua Lane and lying East and Southerly of Rice Creek and lying West of the following described line: Commencing at the intersection of the Southerly line of Said Aqua Lane and the East line of Government Lot 4; thence Westerly along the Southerly line of Aqua Lane 463 feet to the point of beginning thence Southerly at right angles 500 feet, more or less, to the shore of Rice Lake and there terminating should be rezoned commercial at the regular P&Z meeting on August 21 and acted on at the regular Council meeting on August 26th. Seconded by W. Bohjanen. Carried. The question of horse shows going on in the Village was discussed. Mr. Locher stated that he had no definite information but it was his opinion that even though no admission was charged at the door if an entry fee was charged for entering the horse show and all the money was used for expenses it would still be considered a commercial operation. 1 1 1 59 Mr. Locher also stated that this matter could come under residential zoning and qualify as recreation. (Ord. No. 6 Sec. II. B (j) Mr. L'Allier moved to table the matter and have Mr. Cardinal contact Mr. Ken Rehbein for more information concerning horse shows. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. Mr. Harold Hansen had been before the P&Z requesting a variance for a lot on his land on Otter Lake Road. Mr. Cardinal had checked with Mr. Gotwald and found that the entire roadway had not been laid out. Mr. Gotwald will contact Mr. Hansen concerning the surveying and when this is completed the deed for dedication can be obtained. Mr. Jaworski moved to wait for the legal description and the deeds of easement from the adjoining property owners and then the Council will follow through with the variance, preferably at the August 12 Council meeting. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. The question of illegal trailer houses in the Village had also been brought up at the P&Z meeting.

He read a protion of a statement from the AttorneyGeneral's office con - cerning plumbing fixtures and childrens books and stated that the Village is not affected and instructed the Clerk to refer the information to the school officials. Concerning a statement for special assessments received by the Clerk, Mr. Locher suggested it was an error and should be returned to the sender. Mr. L'Allier requested that copies of the ordinance concerning buried cable be made and sent to the P&Z and to the Engineer and ask that they look it over and be prepared to discuss it. Mr. Bohjanen moved, under the Mayor's recommendation, that the sample taxicab ordinance be turned over to the Road Study Board with copies to each member and that they make a recommendation to the Council. Seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. L'Allier read a letter from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency concerning a public hearing to discuss the dumping of effluent in the Sunrise River by the Village of Forest Lake. The Council had previously turned down the proposal that they be allowed to dump into the Rice Creek Chain.

Mr. L'Allier thanked Mr. Dupre for the fine job in numbering the houses and indicated that all houses are now numbered at the time a building permit is issued. Mr. L'Allier mentioned that there had been a hearing of the Metropolitan Airport Commission on July 9 and that it had been continued until a later date to give the Commission a chance to study in depth alternate sites which may be better suited for an airport. The Governor had requested that this study be made. Mr. Jaworski moved that Mr. Cardinal give the Engineer the Village thoroughfare maps so that he can make a transparancey of the new roads in the Village. Seconded by Mr. Bohjanen. Carried. The Clerk read a letter from Midland - Videen indicating that they had not knowingly violated any ordinances and had inclosed two checks to cover the fee for two variances which would be required because two of the lots did not meet legal frontage .
