ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT REPORT, DAN TESCH
Consider Employee Request for Extended Leave of Absence — City Administrator Waite Smith
advised Officer Shawn Silvera and his wife have accepted positions with the Peace Corps in
Honduras, and will be departing July 24, 2001'2 This is a two -(2) year assignment, with the Silvera's
returning in the fall of 2003. Officer Silvera has requested the City grant him an unpaid leave of
absence in order that he may return to the police department after his Peace Corps assignment. The
City Council would have to make an exception to its current leave of absence policy.
City Administrator advised it is her recommendation and the recommendation of Chief Pecchia that
an exception be made to the current policy, and offer twenty-seven month leave of absence to Officer
Silvera.
Officer Silvera has been an asset to the department, both on the street and behind the scenes with his
knowledge of computers and the City's computer network. The exper e that Officer Silvera will
acquire in Honduras, specifically increased knowledge of the Span' ge, would be of value to
Lino Lakes as the community continues to diversify.

PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT REPORT, RICK DEGARDNER
Consideration of Resolution No. 01— 90, Authorizing Condemnation of 6993 Black Duck Drive
and 6998 Black Duck Drive for Public Trail — Public Services Director DeGardner advised for the
past several years, the City of Lino Lakes has been attempting to place a public trail at the north end

Vote Required); FIRST READING, Ordinance No. 09 — 01, Comprehensive Plan Amendment
for MUSA Reserve Allocation (4/5 Vote Required); Resolution No. 01— 77, Preliminary Plat
(3/5 Vote Required), Jeff Smyser — City Planner Smyser advised this application was originally
scheduled for the June 11 City Council meeting, then the applicant agreed to postpone it to the June
25 meeting. At the June 25 meeting, the City Council tabled it, with the applicant's agreement, to the
July 9 meeting. Members of the Council listed a number of issues for which they requested more
information. These issues were listed in the letter to Heritage Develo. t on June 27 (copies were
forwarded to the City Council).
City Planner Smyser presented the staff analysis of the issue �. ste :. at t une 25 City Council
meeting including clarification of the Environmental Bo rew e� ation and the park dedication
breakdown. He also noted the original staff analysis o the n was given at the June 25 City
Council meeting.

Council Member Carlson asked about the City responsibility regarding the payment of the road
construction and sewer and water. City Engineer Powell advised the recommendation as is indicates
the watermain loop will be paid by the developer. The sanitary sewer extension will be a City cost.
The street reconstruction costs will be split 50/50 between the City and the developer. Trunk funds
will more than cover that if utilities come from the west.
Council Member O'Donnell referred to the public notices that were sent out and what the plat
indicated at that time. He asked if there were two (2) different plats with one showing a connection at
Kildeer and one that did not show the connection. He stated another notice was sent to the residents
but a plat was not included. He stated residents may have been confused or felt deceived. He stated
he agrees there needs to be a second access if the project goes through. He noted it is important that
all residents got all of the information.

COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 9, 2001
City Planner Smyser stated the City always has to deal with the question of how much notification is
sufficient. It is not possible to have enough notification. The second plat was received far too late to
get to residents before the meeting. Also, staff did not bring a full recommendation to the Planning
and Zoning Board meeting and recommended the hearing be continued. He noted that plats are not
always sent out with notices and the City was short two (2) staff members at that time. State law
requires a public hearing but copies of the plat do not have to be sent out.
Council Member O'Donnell inquired about the length of the proposed cul-de-sac. City Planner
Smyser advised the cul-de-sac would be longer than the City's maximum cul-de-sac length. Staff
feels public safety will be served if a cul-de-sac is developed, however, a cul-de-sac is not necessary.
City Engineer Powell stated another option is to put a cul-de-sac at the north end and also midway on
the road.
Mayor Bergeson advised a public hearing was held on May 9, 200 <x, ` o� er, the Council will take
brief comments.
Mr. Don Dunn, 6885 Black Duck Drive, came forward an st �Ky'he es not live in this area but his

Residents need to be in on pl . ning process. He added there are many places in the City that have
only one access. He stated E^ does not think the residents would be opposed to an emergency gate.
The Council needs to consider all the issues and the Council does have enough concerns to deny this
project.
Mr. Mike Prieve, 1047 Aspen Lane, distributed a copy of a petition that was signed by most of the
residents in the neighborhood. He stated the biggest problem is residents feel that they were misled.
The plat originally showed no connection at Killdeer so residents did not attend the meetings to
discuss other options. He stated his subdivision has 90 homes that are using two (2) accesses and a
proper way to shift the traffic pattern is needed. He stated his neighborhood can not handle any
additional traffic. Screening may not be needed if there is no second access. The residents feel very
cheated and misled. He asked for a no vote and indicated residents want to be more involved.

COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 9, 2001
Mr. Dave Eric, 6527 Pheasant Run South, stated there is no park area in the plat. All the traffic will
come down Aspen to get to the park. He stated he did not receive any notices relating to the project.
There is not adequate parking now for the park. He stated he hopes the Council will consider those
issues and indicated he also feels cheated by not being involved.
Mr. Greg Graves, 6532 Killdeer Drive, stated he has lived in his home for 12 years and likes living
there. He and his wife have helped pay for schools and roads in the City. He stated he also feels
cheated that the City is going to vote on something that will radically change his lifestyle. Traffic and
speed are major concerns. He indicated he believes the curve in the roadway will be an eyesore and
dangerous. Children will be in jeopardy as well as personal property. He stated residents do not feel
they have been at all considered in this project with only a 2-3 week notice. He begged the Council to
deny the application.
Ms. Janell Dillartine, 6527 Pheasant Run South, stated the biggest complaint in the neighborhood
now is the speed and traffic for park activities. Traffic is a major issu ng with the additional
pressure that will be put on the neighborhood as a whole.
Mr. Steve Schmidt, 998 Aspen Lane, thanked the Council M

that the public meeting was very poorly run and very little information was given. He urged the
Council to deny the project and go back to the drawing board. He suggested a plan that includes only
one access with the sewer running from the north end and having a cul-de-sac on Old Birch at the end
of the roadway or in the middle.
Mayor Bergeson asked staff to review the options regarding a cul-de-sac and the sewer
recommendation. City Engineer Powell reviewed the options regarding utilities coming in from the
west or the north. He stated the City would not be able to recover its costs if the utilities come from
the north. He noted the roads are designed to handle the additional traffic noting the reason for the
concept of a cul-de-sac. He advised that traffic studies are not done for every subdivision. From an
engineering standpoint, the recommendation includes two (2) accesses. He added that local roadways
are designed for 1,000 — 2,000 trips per day.

COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 9, 2001
Mayor Bergeson noted the City can not send the plan back to the drawing board unless the applicant
requests another extension.
Mr. Craig Kruman, Attorney for Mr. Hill, came forward and reminded the Council of the legal
obligations regarding this item. He stated there are only a few outstanding items that relate to
Heritage Development and he does not believe a denial will hold up in court. He stated the applicant
just received a Quick Claim Deed for the road access to Old Birch. The screening issues need to be
referred to an expert. The Planning and Zoning Board denial can not hold up as a reason to deny.
The MUSA should not be an issue because there is still MUSA in the bank. He noted MUSA from
the bank was just recently allocated to other developments.
Mr. John Hill, Heritage Development, stated he is present and will answer any questions.
Mayor Bergeson asked if the applicant would like a vote taken this evening.

Council Member Carlson r rred to the findings of fact and stated they have not been met. She
commented on the outstandi issues discussed at the last Council meeting and indicated they have
not been addressed either. She requested the Comprehensive Plan of 1987 be reviewed. She also
referred to the current Comprehensive Plan relating to utilities, City growth, premature subdivision,
orderly development program, design of local and residential roads, and improvement costs for
utilities. She stated she does not believe this is a good use of taxpayers' dollars.
Mayor Bergeson asked for clarification regarding the conditions of approval that apply to which
particular motion.
City Engineer Powell reviewed what the City will pay for and what the developer will pay for if the
utilities are extended from the west. There will be a net increase to the trunk fund after the City pays
its share. The taxpayers as a whole are not paying for utilities.
COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 9, 2001
Ms. Sherman referred to page 4 of the staff report that findings for the rezoning criteria are outlined if
the application is denied.
Council Member Carlson stated the application can be denied because it doesn't meet the following
criteria:
1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and
provision of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive
Plan.
2. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not
overburden the City's service capacity.
3. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the
property.

Council Member O'Donnell stated he believes that cutting this parcel in half was an error.
Mayor Bergeson stated he believes the MUSA request fits the intent of the banked MUSA. The
project is an infill project. He stated he does not believe that the City being out of the MUSA reserve
is a reason to deny the request. He indicated he will support the MUSA allocation.

Council Member Carlson noted the Planning and Zoning Board was unanimous in their
recommendation of denial for this item.
The City Attorney advised that based on the zoning ordinance denial, Council Members can not
approve the plat.

Ordinance would be crea d and 'onal traffic would be added to an already dangerous outlet at
Birch Street.
Council Member Reinert staid he has the same issues as Council Member O'Donnell noting the City
Engineer did refer to Old Birch Street as a very dangerous intersection. He stated the project can not
house that many units, creating an even more dangerous situation.
Council Member Dahl referred to the criteria to deny the application relating to City policies and
provisions and consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. She stated the City should not pay $90,000
for a development when there is the potential for nine (9) residents to hook up to City utilities sooner
or later if they come from the north. The road can not be reconstructed at this time so it would be
even more unsafe. Staff needs to look at something to make the roadway safe. She also noted the
impact on the City's infrastructure.
A copy of the residents' petition can be found in the City Clerk's office.
