RECOMMENDATION FROM RURAL & OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE
CD Director Bryan Bear provided a Power Point presentation of the work to date on the Rural &
Open Space Committee. There were questions from the Council and Planning Commission. Mayor
Miron invited comments from the public. Catherine Scobie outlined a series of suggestions about
the design of the open space, allowing greater density, maintenance of open space, and perpetual
conservation easements. Amy Donlin of Lino Lakes encouraged the Council to approve the
ordinance, but wanted to make sure that all of the open spaces would link together. James Gregoire
discussed with the Council his desire to divide his 10 -acre corner lot. Jim Bever addressed the
Council with Jim commending the Council and the PC on their efforts. There was continued
discussion on the Committee's density recommendation of 12 units per 20 acres vs. the current
ordinance, which allows for six units. Council and Commission members also raised issues of the
length of a cul-de-sac, road upgrades, homeowner association's ownership of open space, and

another joint Council/Planning Commission meeting to present a final report for approval.
