IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS (6:30 PM or shortly thereafter)
1. Conditional Use Permit Revision– Bay View Villas
The following people addressed the Committee during the public hearing:
Chris Loomis, 7248 LaValle Drive
o Why have slips been sold if the total number of slips was not finalized?
o Asked about drainage through culvert between lakes. Concerned that docks may impede
flow.
Jim Boo
High Point Realty
o Explained that the market has driven the change in the amount of slips. The initial builder
that the developer had worked with felt that not all the upland homes would want dock
access, but the current buyers have all expressed interest and several leads have walked
away after they were told that dock access may not be available to them.

o HOA “Owns docks”
o Has been in communication with City Attorney on issues related to docs.
o One HOA, with different dues for those on the lake vs. those off the lake.
Nick Sindt, 7268 Mound Court
o Asked if any studies had been done on overall number of docks (boats) the lake could
sustain.
Motion by Commissioner Mosher, seconded by Commissioner Krueger to close the Public
Hearing at 6:52 PM. All in favor. Motion carried.
Administrator Statz explained that no studies have been done, but that with half or more of the
lakeshore occupied by a reginal park, the overall density of docks (boats) on the lake, is certainly
not more than most suburban lakes. He also assured the commission that the docks would not
impede the flow of water between the lakes.
V. AWARDS, PRESENTATIONS & APPEARANCES
1. None
VI. OLD BUSINESS
1. None
VII. NEW BUSINESS
1. Conditional use Permit Revision – Bay View Villas
Commissioners debated the various issues, with consensus being that there was not a large
concern regarding the overall issue of dock or boat density and that the main concerns were the
aesthetics of such a large complex of docks. The commission felt strongly that the City Council
should be given at least two options to review for the layout of the docks, prior to approval of the
Conditional Use Permit revisions.
Motion by Commissioner Twohy, seconded by Commissioner Olson to recommend approval
of the Conditional Use Permit Revision, by the City Council with the stipulation that the
Council should be presented with at least two layout options for the docks. All in favor.
Motion carried.
2. Review of Adjacent Development – Nadeau Acres – Lino Lakes
Administrator Statz presented a preliminary plat for a Lino Lakes development that would abut
portions of Centerville. There are no road connections proposed between the two communities.
All traffic would be directed out to one of two county roads adjacent to the development. There
was some discussion over drainage from the development coming onto adjacent property in

Centerville and the fact that the plans seemed to show grading and an outlet pipe on said property.
The commission did not feel that those encroachments should be allowed.
Administrator Statz would convey the commissions concerns to the City of Lino Lakes.
No formal action taken
3. Review of Off-Street Parking in Downtown
The commission was presented with three locations in the downtown where the current parking
configuration is not in line with city code. With the pending street reconstruction project in the
area, city staff was asking to look at ways to bring these areas into compliance, being sensitive to
the needs of those businesses, institutions and residents. The commission had some discussion of
options, including diagonal or parallel parking spots.
Mr. Tom Wilharber was in attendance to address the parking issues related to the church. He
stated that a church has been at this location (on Sorel Street) since 1854. He was appreciative of
the issues relating to the code, but hoped something could be worked out to preserve the parking
spots.
Staff was asked to bring back on-street parking sketches
