Introduction of Jackie Constant, Lino Lakes Solid Waste
Coordinator by Don Volk - Mr. Volk explained that the City of
Lino Lakes and the City of Lexington have implemented a Joint
Powers Agreement to share the services of a Solid Waste
Coordinator. Ms. Jackie Constant has been hired and will be
occupying an office at the Parks building on Lake Drive and an
office at the City of Lexington beginning October 10, 1994. Mr.
Volk noted that Ms. Constant has been working in the solid waste
field and will be able to help the City of Lino Lakes and the

Ms. Constant said that she looked forward to working for both
cities and felt that with her years of experience would be
helpful in reaching and exceeding waste abatement goals. Ms.
Constant has worked for Minnesota Resources who is the largest
processor and marketer for recyclable material for the State of
Minnesota.
Mayor Reinert welcomed Ms. Constant and said he was looking
forward to working with her.
Sue Walseth, 1101 Holly Drive - Ms. Walseth gave each Council
Member copies of the 1988 and 1992 Zoning Ordinance with sections
highlighted in yellow. These are the two (2) years where zoning
issues affected Holly Drive. Ms. Walseth read from the zoning
ordinance. She said that after she read Mr. Hawkins' letter that
was addressed to her attorney, John Gresbeck, it is her personal
opinion that many of the answers to her zoning concerns were
inadequate. She has called the State Attorney General's office
and spoke with two (2) persons at that office. This particular
office specializes in property and zoning issues. The following
comments were made by the two (2) representatives; the State
Statutes are written more general that the City ordinances.
Cities can have more detailed restrictions than the State but
cannot omit, delete or ignore any portions of the State Statutes.
Lino Lakes zoning ordinance states, "any property", which means
that there are no size limitations. This portion of the Lino
Lakes City ordinance must be followed over the State Statutes
requirements regarding affected properties involving five (5)
acres or less, because the Lino Lakes ordinance states;
notification shall be by registered mail. The State Statutes
says that a bona fide attempt to comply with this subdivision has
been made or the rezoning procedure shall be invalidated. Lino
Lakes city hall in 1988 and 1992 did not attempt to contact the
Holly Drive landowners individually. Staff has admitted this to
the residents and in a newspaper interview. The Lino Lakes City
Council set up and adopted its own City ordinances exactly as
they were worded. This means that the City Council was legally
obligated to follow the ordinances exactly as they were worded.
The only way that State Statutes can override City ordinances,
such as in cases where City and State statutes are obviously
different, is to have a specific clause somewhere in the
ordinance which states, "when the City and State Statutes
contradict each other, the State Statute will supersede the City
ordinance. Lino Lakes City ordinances do not state such
exceptions. Lino Lakes has to follow its own written procedures.
The phrase, "although failure by any property owner to receive
such notification shall not invalidate the proceedings", does not
mean whether or not the City decides to send out any individual
notifications and the property owners may or may not receive
PAGE 2
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
SEPTEMBER 26, 1994
them. The rezoning procedure shall not be invalidated. Ms.
Walseth said that there was a significant difference between
sending out notifications in the first place and the residence
receiving them. This particular clause was written to protect
cities should they mail out ten (10) notifications and for some
unknown reason such as the letter was lost in the mail or the
post office was unable to forward the letter appropriately and
two (2) of the ten (10) letters were not received by the affected
property owners, these two (2) property owners cannot come back
to the City saying they were not notified and the rezoning should
be invalidated. In this example, the city had attempted to
notify everyone as required and it is not the city's fault that
these two (2) property owners did not receive their notice. Lino
Lakes was required at the beginning of the proceedings to notify
all affected property owners by registered mail as was stated in
the City Zoning Ordinance. According to the State Attorney
Generals office, the City of Lino Lakes cannot choose to follow
the state statutes exclusively because it is less restrictive
than the City Zoning Ordinance. The provisions of the Lino Lakes
Zoning Ordinance take precedence over state statutes. These
individuals support that the City Zoning Ordinance should have
been fully followed in the original rezoning from Rural to Single
Family Residential (R-1). Both persons at the State Attorney
General's office said that the only way to resolve the issue is
to take the City to court for not notifying affected property
owners by registered letter. One person at the State Attorney
General's office researched a couple of documented legal cases
briefly. In one case a city did not believe that it had to mail
out notifications to residents. The residents won this case
because believing it did not have to mail out notifications was
not a bona fide attempt. Ms. Walseth said that it is her opinion
that the City of Lino Lakes refuses to acknowledge her
neighborhoods rezoning and notification concerns because both
ordinances would change both sides of Holly Drive from Rural to
Residential involve City wide zoning maps. If the City had to
reverse its decision, there would be a domino effect, as all pre
1992 Rural properties, many of which now have homes built on
them, would be incorrectly zoned and the City would be in an
enormous mess.
Mayor Reinert asked Ms. Walseth for the names of the persons she
spoke with at the State Attorney General's office. She named
Terry Nuebe and Ken Raschke. Mayor Reinert asked for a copy of
Ms. Walseth's comments to give to Mr. Hawkins for his review.
Mr. Hawkins explained that he had given his opinion in writing to
Ms. Walseth's attorney and did not have anything further to
expand on. He noted that he had reviewed all the facts in the
City files and in the ordinances and procedures followed by the
City. Mr. Hawkins said he was not aware of what was expressed by
PAGE 3

CITY COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 26, 1994
the Attorney General's office. He also said that these two (2)
representatives may not have had all the facts before them when
making their comments but was trying to be helpful. Mr. Hawkins
said that his written opinion states all of the facts and what
his opinion is according to the law and did not have anything
further to add.
Mayor Reinert said, what he understands is that the peopleat the
Attorney General's office told Ms. Walseth is that because they
believe that the City ordinances are more restrictive than the
State Statutes, City ordinances would apply and should have been
followed. Ms. Walseth said that these two (2) people stated that
the State of Minnesota did not require Lino Lakes to adopt a more
restrictive zoning ordinance therefore, they are obligated to
follow the City ordinances. Mr. Hawkins said he responded to all
of the allegations stated by Ms. Walseth's attorney and he does
not believe that the City acted improperly in dealing with this
matter. Ms. Walseth said that Mr. Hawkins' letter referred to
property of five (5) acres or less regarding proper notification.
She explained that the City ordinance says that all property
owners regardless of size must be notified. Mr. Hawkins said
that he has a difference of opinion on this matter and he will
stand by what is stated in his letter.
Christopher Lyden, 6275 Holly Drive - Mr. Lyden asked Mr. Hawkins
to define the three (3) types of negligence. Mr. Hawkins
explained that Open Mike is the time for residents to speak and
will not respond to questions at this time. Mr. Lyden said that
the City of Lino Lakes has failed to respond and explained that
one form of negligence is failure to warn. He said that the
residents have been left with no other avenue than the court of
law avenue. He read a letter dated July 16, 1994 that was
printed in the editorial section of a local newspaper. The
letter was written by Terry Conroy, a former resident in Lino
Lakes. Mayor Reinert asked if Mr. Lyden was representing Mr.
Conroy this evening. Mr. Lyden said no and asked Mayor Reinert
how he felt about this letter. Mayor Reinert said that he would
not debate the letter because he did not know the facts of the
situation. Mr. Lyden said that what has happened to this person
has now happened to his neighborhood and can happen to anyone in
Lino Lakes. Mayor Reinert said it happened to him personally.
He asked what can anyone do when someone next to you owns the
land, meets the requirements for a rezone according to the City
ordinance, and is granted a rezone and then developed the
property. Mr. Lyden said that all he is asking is that the City
follow the "letter of the law" in regard to rezoning his
property. Mayor Reinert said the City Attorney has responded to
the attorney hired by this neighborhood and has outlined his
opinions.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 26, 1994
Mr. Lyden said to Mr. Hawkins if the City Code requires that a
registered letter is to be mailed to the people, then when you
checked the files, there would have been a evidence that
registered letters were mailed to the people. Mr. Hawkins again
said that his letter outlines his opinion and will not debate
this evening about what is or is not in the files. Mr. Hawkins
explained that their attorney made allegations regarding the
City's action and he investigated and responded to those
allegations in a lengthy letter. Mr. Lyden said that although
the City Council is suppose to be working for the people, Mr.
Hawkins will not respond to the question of whether there is a
letter in the file ever. Mr. Hawkins said he responded fully and
completely with City's position in regard to your attorney's
allegations in a letter alleging that the City acted improperly.
Mr. Lyden asked Mr. Hawkins if the letter regarding the bona fide
attempt was in the file? Mayor Reinert said that the files would
have to be pulled and examined and the position of the City is
clear. You may not like it. Mr. Lyden said he wanted to know if
the "t's" were crossed and the "i's" dotted and if the letters
would be in the file. Mr. Lyden said he would find out this
information in a different way.
Mr. Lyden referred to a clerical error. (Mr. Lyden was referring
to an ordinance that was dated a different date than actually
adopted.) He asked Council Member Kuether when she buys a
house, she places her signature on it. (Mr. Lyden probably was
referring to some type of contract). Council Member Kuether said
yes. Mr. Lyden said that you are responsible for what you sign.
"The buck stops somewhere". Maybe there was a clerical error but
the City Council is responsible for reviewing minutes and he told
Mayor Reinert that if he was going to put his "John Doe" on them
he should make sure that they are right. If there was a mistake,
it was not just Marilyn's mistake.
Mr. Lyden referred to the word "composite" and noted that this
was the procedure used to bypass the Planning and Zoning Board
during the rezoning process of Trappers Crossing. He asked that
it be shown where the term "composite" is a legal, bona fide,
term used in the City Code.
Mr. Lyden said the Council Member Bergeson commented just prior
to the Council vote on Trappers Crossing, that there was not much
difference between 104 houses and 115 houses. He felt that was
easy to say if you do not live on the road. Mr. Lyden said that
he could have given something to the neighborhood. This
neighborhood will have a 250% increase in traffic, have roads
that will have to be widened and will have to deal with
everything and anything in the next five (5) years. Mr. Lyden
again said that the City Council could have given this difference

to the neighborhood.

PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD REPORT, MARY KAY WYLAND
SECOND READING, Ordinance No. 15 - 94, Rezoning a Portion of
Behm's Century Farms from Rural (R) to Single Family Residential
(R-1) - At the August 22, 1994 Council meeting, the City Council
approved the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 15 - 94. No further
comments or corrections have been suggested. The developer, Mr.
Gary Uhde anticipates presenting a preliminary plat on a portion
of this property sometime later this year or early in 1995.
Council Member Neal moved to adopt the SECOND READING of
Ordinance No. 15 - 94 and dispense with the reading. Council
Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
Ordinance No. 15 - 94 can be found at the end of these minutes.
Consideration of a Request for Sign Variance, St. Joseph Catholic
Church - Ms. Wyland used the overhead projector to show the
proposed location of the sign. The Church is requesting a
variance to install a church identification sign which would face
I -35W and contain 96 square feet. The property is zoned R-1,
Single Family -Residential. The Sign Ordinance allows
institutional identification signs in the R-1 District with the
following limitations: not more than 24 square feet in size; not
higher than six (6) feet; and one identification sign per
building. The Church is requesting a variance for 72 square feet
in sign area.
The City Staff reviewed the request and commented that a 24
square foot sign could be installed, meet the requirements of the
ordinance and require no variance. Although findings of fact
would seem to indicate that the variance request be denied, the
Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval as submitted with
the condition that proper sign permits be obtained and the sign
be located 10 feet from the property line and not exceed 14 feet
in height.
PAGE 6
CITY COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 26, 1994
Ms. Wyland noted that the situation is unique in that the Church
does not front on a major roadway as other churches in the area
do. Council Member Neal asked if the sign would be similar to a
freeway billboard. Ms. Wyland said the sign would not be lighted
and the purpose is to give direction and not be an an
advertisement. Council Member Kuether commented that the sign
would blend in with other big signs in the area.
Ms. Wyland noted that the Planning and Zoning Board discussed
approving a temporary variance. However a variance should never
be issued on a temporary basis.
Mr. Schumacher suggested that the City Council ask the Planning
and Zoning Board to review the Sign Ordinance since it has been a
number or years since it was adopted and several portions may be
out of date.
Council Member Kuether moved to approve a variance as submitted
with the condition that proper sign permits be obtained and the
sign be located 10 feet from the property line and not exceed 14
feet in height. Council Member Neal seconded the motion. Motion
carried unanimously.
The Planning and Zoning Board was asked to review the Sign
Ordinance and give special attention to the size and height
restrictions.
Consideration of a Minor Subdivision Request, Boe Ornamental, 484
Lilac Street - This is a request for re -arrangement of lot lines
for the property located at 484 and 502 Lilac Street. The
property is zoned General Industrial (GI) and contains Boe
Ornamental on Lot 1 and Lino Blacktop on Lot 2. Lino Blacktop
also owns Lot 3 and intends to split Lot 3 in half and sell the
westerly Parcel A to Boe Ornamental. Boe Ornamental would then
like to expand their existing storage yard to the south onto
Parcel A. They are also considering a future expansion project
that could include the vacated Industrial Boulevard and
construction of a new building to the west. Parcel B will be
added to the Lino Blacktop parcel.
Economic Development Director, Brian Wessel has been working with
the applicant on this request and their proposed expansion and
recommends approval of the minor subdivision.
The Zoning Ordinance currently provides that lots within the GI
Zoning District contain a minimum of one (1) acre in lot area.
The proposed lots will exceed that requirement by approximately
22,000 square feet. The proposed lots also meet the minimum lot
width requirement of 100 feet.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 26, 1994
Park Dedication on these parcels was paid when the original
subdivision for the Lino Industrial Park was approved, therefore,
additional Park Dedication is not required.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the minor
subdivision request with the condition that Parcel A be combined
with Lot 1, Block 2, Lino Industrial Park and Parcel B be
combined with Lot 2, Block 2, Lino Industrial Park.
Council Member Bergeson noted that the current building is of
pole barn construction and it has already received approval to
expand the maximum 50%. Any further expansion cannot be of pole
barn construction. Ms. Wyland said that Boe Ornamental was aware
of this situation.
Council Member Bergeson moved to approve the minor subdivision
request with the conditions stipulated by the Planning and Zoning
Board. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion
carried unanimously.
Consideration of Site Plan Review, Anoka County Detention Center,
Fourth Avenue and Lilac Street - Anoka County Corrections is
proposing an addition to the existing campus located adjacent to
the Minnesota Correctional Facility. The property currently
contains two (2) juvenile detention cottages and a juvenile
shelter. The proposed request is to construct a 60 bed medium
secure facility to house adult county prisoners serving terms of
less than one year. The staff will consist of 18 persons and be
managed by the Anoka County Corrections Department. Food service
is to be provided from the Correctional Facility as is the
juvenile center's. Parking will be located on the south side of
the building for visitors and on the north side of the building
for staff.
According to the architect, perimeter walls will be built of
solid reinforced concrete masonry. The exterior of the building
will have earth tone colors that will complement the existing
adjacent cottages and juvenile center. Windows will not exceed
six (6) inches in width. Each entrance will be secured by remote
controlled doors and sallyports. The required outdoor recreation
areas will have tight -meshed chain link material with a curved
top so that prisoners cannot climb over the fence. No "razor
ribbon" will be used.
The property is zoned Public, Semi -Public (PSP). Public
buildings for county and state government are a permitted use in
this zone. Brian Wessel, Economic Development Director, has
reviewed the site plan and recommends approval of the
architectural style of the structure. Staff indicates that plans

and specifications for this construction will
review by several county and state agencies.
Staff recommends approval of the request with
conditions:

The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the site
plan with the conditions outlined above.
Council Member Neal moved to approve the site plan review with
the conditions listed above. Council Member Kuether seconded the
motion.
Council Member Bergeson asked if there were plans to construct a
holding cell for area police departments to hold prisoners until
they could be transported to the Anoka County jail. Mr. Jerry
Soma, representing Anoka County Corrections and Mod Fedders,
architect for the building explained that there will be four (4)
licensed cells. These cells will be used to hold prisoners
awaiting trial. Mr. Soma said he understood that Sheriff
Wilkenson has talked about providing transport facilities for
municipalities located far from the Anoka County detention
facility. However, there is nothing planned for the new
building.
Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously.

FARMS FOURTH ADDITION
Mayor Reinert opened the public hearing at 7:11 P.M. Mr. Powell
explained that eight (8) improvement projects have progressed so
that the City Council can consider adopting the assessment rolls.
Assessment rolls have been completed and are present this
evening. All persons to be assessed have been properly notified
about the public hearing. Notices have also been published
complying with state statutes and Chapter 8 of the Lino Lakes
City Charter.
Mr. Steve Heth used the overhead projector and presented an
outline of the assessment rolls for Pheasant Hills Preserve Third
Addition, Fourth Addition Fifth Addition, Pheasant Hills Preserve
East, and Pine Ridge II Addition. All of these projects are
developer financed and all construction related costs have been
paid directly by the developer. Costs to be assessed are for
lateral benefits from the Area and Connection Fund, Surface Water
Management Planning and lateral sanitary sewer and watermain
benefits for some projects and future wear course installation
for some projects.
Mr. John Powell used the overhead projector and presented an
outline of the assessment rolls for Fox Trace, Wenzel Farms,
Fourth Addition and Country Lakes Estates. Both Fox Trace and
Wenzel Farms Fourth Addition are projects that are developer
financed and all construction related costs have been paid
directly by the developer. Costs to be assessed are for lateral
benefits from Area and Connection Fund and Surface Water
Management Planning costs. Wear Course costs have been escrowed
for Fox Trace and are already in place for Wenzel Farms Fourth
Addition. All costs including construction related costs and
wear course costs for Country Lakes Estates will be assessed.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 26, 1994
Mr. Schumacher noted that seal coating costs/wear course costs
are being collected in several different ways. He noted that the
City had adopted a policy regarding collection of these costs and
asked Mr. Powell why the new policy was not being followed. Mr.
Powell noted that the developer agreements on several projects
were completed prior to the new policy. All more recent projects
will follow the policy.
Mayor Reinert asked for comments from the public.
Al DeMotts, 6265 Holly Drive asked if Country Lakes Estates was
being assessed completely for both Phase I and Phase II. Mr.
Powell said no and explained that Phase II has not been
constructed and will be a separate project possibly financed by
the developer. The cost being assessed at this time is the Phase
I construction cost plus the sanitary installation through the
entire subdivision. Phase I has about 25 lots.
Mayor Reinert asked if any written comments were received. The
City Clerk noted that she had received a telephone call from Mr.
Rick Carlson, developer of Pine Ridge Second Addition. Mr.
Carlson asked if interest had been included in the assessment
figures. The City Clerk explained that interest for October,
November and December, 1994 had been included in the figures.
Mr. Carlson asked if he paid the entire assessment within the 30
day grace period would this interest be deleted. Mr. Carlson was
told it would be deleted.

PUBLIC HEARING, IMPROVEMENT FOR PORTION OF WARE ROAD (AL ROSS
PROPERTY), JOHN POWELL
Mayor Reinert opened the public hearing at 7:34 P.M. Mr. Powell
explained that Mr. Ross had presented a petition requesting water
and sanitary service at his residence at 6356 Ware Road. Mr.
Ross' well has failed and he has an immediate need for water
service. Both sanitary service and water service have been
extended to the vicinity of Mr. Ross' property as part of
previous improvement projects.
To evaluate ways of making utility service available to Mr. Ross
and the neighboring properties in the most cost effective and
comprehensive manner, the City Council ordered preparation of a
Feasibility Report on August 22, 1994.
As there is an immediate need for the watermain in this area,
timely processing of this project is necessary. To this end, the
public hearing date for this improvement project was set for
September 26, 1994 at the City Council meeting in August. Mr.
Ross is the only property owner proposed to be assessed at this
time but the other property owners abutting the project area have
been notified of this public hearing.
PAGE 12

CITY COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 26, 1994
Mr. Powell presented the feasibility report. He noted the
project included installation of an eight (8) inch sanitary sewer
line and an eight (8) inch water main. The project includes
costs for dewatering. The total cost including construction,
dewatering, engineering and other administration fees is
$60,533.00. The only property to be assessed is the Ross
property. Other properties will be assessed at the time they
connect.
Mr. Powell outlined the project schedule. He noted that the bid
period is only ten (10) days since the cost of the project is
under $100,000.00.
Council Member Kuether noted that a total of nine (9) properties
are affected by the project. Mr. Powell noted that services
would be made available to all nine (9) properties but only the
one property owner would be assessed. Council Member Kuether
said she understood that 51% of the affected property owners were
required to petition for the improvement according to the City
Charter. Mr. Hawkins explained that this is a City Council
initiated project. The City Charter requires that 51% of the
property owners must sign a petition against the project to stop
an assessment. Mr. Powell explained that this project is similar
to the Hodgson watermain project.
Mayor Reinert asked for questions from the public.
Jim Rickard, 6361 Ware Road said he had received a notice of this
public hearing and the notice stated his assessment would be
zero. The notice also stated that if he was interested in
connecting to the services his assessment would be $13,578.46.
Mr. Rickard asked what the assessment included. Mr. Powell
explained that this is a complete assessment except for extending
the service from the hookup in the street to his house.
Mr. Rickard asked what were the terms of the assessment. Mr.
Powell explained that the assessment could be extended over 15
years on his property taxes. Mr. Rickard noted that originally,
the City's street improvement plan had Ware Road slated to be
improved in 1994. He asked how much would a street improvement
assessment be? Mr. Powell explained that street improvement and
street drainage is not included in the assessment noted above.
The street assessment would be based on front footage and would
include the cost for street drainage.
Mr. Rickard explained that his neighbor to the north (Lot 3) was
wondering how the City would determine who would get service.
Mr. Powell explained that there is service available to that lot
at this time.

license and have paid an investigation fee. The Police
