Mr. Reinert said he wanted to know where we are going with the suggestions made by the City Auditor. Mr. Bisel said it was important to prioritize issues. Mayor Benson asked Mr. Tautges to assess the overall financial picture of Lino Lakes. Mr. Tautges said the overall picture regarding the General Fund was 1.00% improved over four years ago and recommended that the Council continue building the reserve balance in this fund. He noted that the City is in a very sound position but noted that with a funding partner such as the State of Minnesota, the City should remain cautious since the State can change its rules anytime. He further suggested that the City let the legislature know its funding needs. Mayor Benson thanked Mr. Taugtes for coming this evening. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 17 - 87, CONCERNING BUILDING STANDARDS IN COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS The Council at the July 27th meeting instructed that the proposed pole barn ordinance be amended by Mr. Schumacher and Mr. Miller the City Planner. Mr. Miller has prepared,a list of eight changes and in his memorandum to the Council dated July 31, 1987 explained what these changes will accomplish. Mr. Schumacher did outline these changes for the Council. Mr. Kluegei said he would not have a problem with these changes. Mr. Bisel noted that this proposal would allow existing pole structures to be increased by 50% and the Council could require certain enhancements to be made at the time it is enlarged. He also asked if this ordinance will improve the type of construction in Lino Lakes and how will this improve the business climate? Mr. Schumacher said this probably will not be known for four or five years. Mr. Bisel moved to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 17 - 87 and dispense with the reading.

CITY OF LINO LAKES -PAGE 6 - • • TO: City Council FROM: John Miller, Planning Consultant to the City of Lino Lakes DATE: July 31, 1987 RE: Pole Barn Ordinance At the council's meeting of July 27 instructions were given to amend the proposed pole barn ordinance. Attached please find copies of the "old" and "new" ordinances amending the city's zoning code. The changes in the ordinance accomplish the following: 1. Added are stick-built.buildings to the permitted types of construction. 2. Eliminated is Type III construction. This is somewhat repeti- tive of masonry construction that is also a permitted.type of construction. Type III is basically concrete block with a four hour fire wall. 3. Eliminated are common -block back walls. This is somewhat of an anachronism. Most places now require all four sides of a building to be the same. Tom Eggen of the Minnesota Masonry Institute states the architecturally improved block costs about ten per cent more than common block. He also concurs that exterior use of common block is rapidly declining. 4. Added is a provision allowing existing pole barns to be expanded by a maximum of SO per cent of their gross area. This is treated as a conditional use and is contingent upon general site improve- ments including landscaping and building facade. S. Added are provisions permitting pole barn construction for the storage of lumber, boats, and buses provided the main sales area or office area is constructed of permitted materials. This too is made a conditional use. 6. Eliminated is the statement that mechanicals and exterior trash areas can be screened by "compatible" materials. Added is a statement requiring screens to be of "similar" materials. This is going to prevent a lot of wood fences around dumpsters. 7. Added are additional requirements for site plans including 1) building location, 2) parking and storage areas, 3) land- scaping, 4) sign size and location. This should provide the Planning and Zoning Board and the City Council with much better • • • COUNCIL MEETING September 8, 1986 Page Fourteen There was discussion regarding whether or not the roads intended to be seal coated would break up worse without the seal coat.

Set Date For Strategic Planning Session (Friday and Saturday, October 24th and 25th) - Mayor Benson asked for input from the Council as to what they think of the idea and the dates.

Memorandum To Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Randy Schumacher, City Administrator Date: September 3, 1986 Re: Building Standards per joint meeting of the Planning and Zoning Task Force, and City Council On August 27, 1986 a joint meeting was held to discuss the amended design, and building standards for construction in commercial and industrial zones. It was the concensus.of the Planning and Zoning Board to eliminate all wrinkle tin exterior siding for commercial or industrial buildings. The Planning and Zoning Board also supported a second issue which would eliminate buildings constructed with a wood frame (stick built). A number of developers in attendance voiced their concerns over the restrictiveness of these proposed amendments. This issue was placed on the agenda so the Council could give direction to the Planning and Zoning Board in modifying their building standards amendments, ie. additional landscaping requirements, architectural screening boards etc.... Pole Barn Ordinance Page 2 detail on which to make future site plan decisions. 8. Added glass, stone, and architectural metal panels as approved exterior materials in the commercial and industrial districts. • • COUNCIL MEETING JULY 27, 1987 • Mayor Benson asked Mr. Arcand if dust controls were in place would this solve Custom Manufacturings problems. Mr. Arcand said no. Mr. Bohjanen asked Mr. Obernolte what the peak employment would be for Hanson Block. Mr. Obernolte said twenty six. Mr. Bohjanen asked why Hanson Block has selected Lino Lakes as a site for their new plant. Mr. Obernolte explained because of the freeway access and there was a significant market available. Mr. Marier moved to close the public hearing at 9:25 P.M. Mr. Bisel seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Bisel moved to deny Ordinance No. 13 - 87. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Bisel told Mr. Obernolte that he would like him to work with the City Engineer to find a suitable location for this business. He added that -he would like to have this business in Lino Lakes. The Council took a five minute break at 9:30 P.M. (------CONSID'° •N OF THE PLANNING CONSULTANT'S ALTERNATIVES FOR BUILDING STANDARDS AMENDMENTS s 0 Mr. Schumacher exp aine. a on this issue. The Chamber of Commerce has addressed their concerns and other input has been received. Mr. Miller has prepared a memorandum to the City Council regarding this matter outlining arguments for pole barns, some pole barn facts, some pole barn options for the City Council to consider and his opinion and recommendations. Mr. Schumacher said he recommends that the Council look at recommendations 2, 3 and 5 which would allow pole buildings under a conditional use permit in industrial areas for lumber yard storage, boat sales and bus storage. Existing pole buildings could be added to but amenities would be required. Mr. Bisel asked if the difference should be between boat sales and boat storage. Mr. Schumacher explained that in this situation the principal building or sales room notshould be of pole type construction. Mr. Marier suggested that the principal building for any business should not be pole construction. There was discussion regarding new businesses or "incubator businesses". Mr. Miller said that communities have formed centers for these types of businesses. He outlined Eden Prairie's success with this venture. Mr. Schumacher and Mr. Miller were asked to put together a draft ordinance incorporating all the ideas that were discussed. • PAGE 16 Memorandum To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Randy Schumacher, City Administrator Date: July 22, 1987 RE: Building Standards/Pole Buildings Please find attached a copy of Planning Consultant John Miller's letter regarding building standards, more specifically the issue of pole buildings. Mr. Miller has listed 8 options for your consideration. Mr. Miller has recommended that no pole buildings be permitted other than in areas of 10 acres and larger, i.e. for rural use. I would recommend we combine or take portions of #2,3,5. This would constitue pole buildings only in industrial areas with a Conditional Use Permit. Conditional Use Permits could only be issued if the use were for Boat Sales, Lumber Yards, or Bus Garages. As the Ordinance relates to existing pole buildings, they would be allowed to expand given the upgrading of their building i.e., adding ammenities such as landscaping and front facade improvements. If you should have any questions with regards to this memo, or that of Mr. Millers, please do not hesitate to contact my office. •
