Page 21 of65
of any person. Any person aggrieved by any such interpretation may appeal such
interpretation to the Board of Appeals and Adjustments. The Board of Appeals and
Adjustments, in interpreting the Zoning Map or deciding any appeal, shall apply to the
following standards:
A. Zoning district boundary lines are intended to follow lot lines, or be
parallel or perpendicular thereto, or along the centerlines of streets,
rights-of-way or watercourses, unless such boundary lines are fixed
by dimensions shown on the Zoning Map; and
B. Where zoning district boundary lines are so indicated that they
approximately follow lot lines, such lot lines shall be construed to be
such boundary lines; and
C. Where a zoning district boundary line divides a lot, the location of any
such zoning district boundary line, unless indicated by dimensions
shown on the zoning map, shall be determined by the use of the map
scale shown thereon; and
D. If, after the application of the foregoing rules, uncertainty still exists as
to the exact location of a zoning district boundary line, the boundary
line shall be determined in a reasonable manner, considering the
history of uses of the property and the history of zoning ordinances
and amendments in Centerville as well as other relevant facts.

review of any proposed development occurring to reduce non-point source pollutant
loadings in stormwater runoff.
Existing natural drainageways , natural water storage or retention areas, and vegetated soil
surfaces should be used to the greatest extent possible to store, filter and retain stormwater
runoff before discharge occurs into any public waters. When natural features and
vegetation are not available to handle stormwater runoff, constructed facilities such as
diversions, settling basins, skimming devices, dikes, and manmade waterways and ponds
may be used. Preference shall be given to designs using surface drainage, vegetation, and
infiltration rather than buried pipes and manmade materials and facilities. Development
should be planned and conducted in a manner that will minimize the extent of disturbed
areas, runoff velocities, erosion potential, and reduce and delay runoff volumes.
Division 150: Wetland Protection and Management

B. Wetlands may not be drained or filled, wholly or partially, unless
replaced by restoring or creating wetland areas of at least equal public
value. Wetland encroachment must be guided by the following
principles in descending order:
1. Avoiding the direct or indirect impact of the
activity that may destroy or diminish the wetland;
and
2. Minimizing the impact by limiting the degree or
magnitude of the wetland activity and its
implementation; and
3. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating,
or restoring the affected wetland environment;
and
Page 42 of 65
4. Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by

peril to life or property. In that case the proceedings shall not be
stayed otherwise than by a restraining order granted by a court of
competent jurisdiction. The Council shall at its next regular meeting

FROM: Jim March
RE : City Administrator Evaluation
.........................................................................
I completed four years of service with the City of Centerville on May 20, 2000. It has
been a great four years and I have enjoyed my job immensely. Mayor Wilharber asked
me to provide the normal list of accomplishments from the last year and to place this item
on the agenda.
I do not feel that I can take credit for any accomplishment of the organization. It takes
everyone working together as a team to make continual progress toward our goals. I have
included the list of goals and objectives that were created during the beginning of 1999. I
believe that we have accomplished more significant projects and community goals in this
last year than in any other previous year. I give credit to a committed staff and dedicated
Council for the accomplishments of the last year. I have also seen how much more
productive a Council can be when the Council exists to work towards the betterment of
the community and stays away from the in-fighting and politics that can often exist.
Some of the notable events from the last year are as follows:
· Water Interconnect is built and operational
· A purchase agreement was accepted for a new public works facility
· Center-Villa approved
· Trail paved and connected to the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park
. Tri-City Police Department has been formed
. Preliminary approval for Hunter's Crossing
· $45,000 grant received for new equipment at Acorn Creek Park
· Royal Oaks Industrial Park subdivision approved
. Deer Pass approved
· Apple Tree Center opened with the following new businesses: Jumpin' Java,
Why USA, Centerville Dental, Laurie's Dance Studio, Hair Update and Tanning
and Apple Academy
· Sager's Liquor and Wise Guys Pizza opened
. New signs were made for three parks
. New public works employee was hired
. Computers were networked
· County Bank purchased land in the City for future building
. Goetz Landscape built a new building
. LaMotte Store purchased for rehabilitation
. R+K Cafe and Insurance Agency opened downtown
· Cooperative Trail Linkage Grant awarded in the amount of $7900
. Buechler Estates developed
. Fete des Lacs revitalized, raised over $10,000 in private donations so far
. Ballfields and soccer fields ready at LaMotte Park
. Survived Y2K
. Created first Community Skating Night
. Created first Community Wide Bon-fire
. Ordinance #4 nearly complete

those presentations and to also place the photographs on CD.
Ms. Capra stated Robert Thein is knowledgeable about genealogy and history of
families, many from this area, and has offered to provide that information.

Chamber photographs and placing them on CD. Ms. Capra answered

some additional cost for frames to match the current ones.

Page 3 of 12
. .
elsewhere on the site. He stated the police responded quickly which he
appreciated. Mayor Wilharber stated he told the officer that the property belonged
to Swift Construction and allowed the tree removal company to continue their
work.
Mr. March stated those trees were on an outlot and he has told the contractor to
fill in the holes that were left behind when the trees were removed.
Stop Sign Request - 73rd Street
Elizabeth Larson (1882. 73rd Street) submitted a petition to the City for a stop sign
in her neighborhood due to the rising flow of high-speed traffic on her street.
Mr. March stated he talked with the Police Chief about updating the speed study
with an unmarked squad car. The Police Chief stated they would do so and update
the speed study for early morning and late afternoon hours.
Mayor Wilharber stated he spoke with Mr. Rehbein of Rehbein Transit to address
the concern of speeding busses. Mr. Rehbein asked them to report the bus
numbers, time of day, and dates so he can narrow down the issue and respond.
Council Member Nelson asked when that information will be received. Mr. March
estimated by the next Council meeting.
Council Member Travis asked if there are too many kids for a 30 mph zone, and if
a stop sign may be needed even ifvehic1es are staying under 30 mph.
Council Member Nelson suggested that be addressed once the report is received
on the speed of traffic.
Mr. March suggested that a police officer be invited to a meeting so they can
respond. He noted the past indication that stop signs do not actually slow the
speed oftraffic and, in some cases, can speed traffic. The Council agreed with the
suggestion to invite a police officer to an upcoming Council meeting.
Council Member Broussard Vickers stated if they are not recommending a stop
sign installation, she would like to know why.
Council Member Nelson stated she has visited the site and agrees cars speed
through that area.
Council Member Broussard Vickers stated she witnessed the same, that cars are
impatient at 20 mph. .

they will arrange the proposal packets to contain both options since they work just
as well. He stated he thinks Option A may be less costly and less obtrusive
visually. Mr. Peterson advised of the anticipated time table with the project to be
considered at the May 24, 2000 Council meeting.
Motion by Sweeney. seconded by Broussard Vickers to approve Lift Station
No.2 plans and authorize advertisement for bids.
Council Member Travis asked staff to invite the interceptor contractors to submit a
bid since they are in the area.
All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
IX. NEW BUSINESS
Role of Economic Development Committee (ED C)
Council Member Nelson stated she has received telephone calls from businesses
who would like the Council to review the role of the EDC. She called several
other businesses to obtain their opinion on what it should be and what they would
like to see. She estimated there are 50 Centerville businesses and reported the
following comments were received:
. Frustration in dealing with the City when they wanted to build a building or an
addition and the length of time the process takes due to tabling. They prefer
something more "black and white" so it is known what the process is at the on
start.
. Beautification of the 20th A venue area, adding street lights and landscaping,
since it may bring in new business to Centerville.
. More TIF eligibility.
. Meeting room availability for businesses to meet together.
. The businesses did not feel they had a "voice" in the City.
Council Member Travis stated he is the EDC liaison for the Council and agreed the
issue of the exact role ofthe EDC was raised. He stated he was unable to answer
that question but he believes the EDC is extremely busy and doing excellent work
for the City. He stated some of that work is for the businesses in the City but most
of the time it is for the good of the entire City. He asked if there is something else
the EDC could be doing for businesses. Council Member Travis stated the EDC is
open to suggestions and with the loss of the staff liaison, these issues may be
brought to the forefront.
Council Member Broussard Vickers asked why business owners did not attend an
EDC meeting to voice those comments. She stated that using the EDC in a
Commerce role may be easy to accomplish if they attend a meeting to discuss that
issue. She suggested that the business owners be invited to a future EDC meeting
Page 5 of12
for that purpose. She also suggested that when a new business comes to
Centerville, the EDC place an ad welcoming them or they could periodically
recognize existing businesses.
Mayor Wilharber stated in a past newsletter an article was published on Eagle
Trucking, which he thinks is of interest to Centerville's residents to keep them
informed.
Council Member Broussard Vickers stated most business professionals woul~ be
willing to attend a meeting to talk about services they provide.
Mayor Wilharber suggested that at the Business Appreciation Dinner, businesses
be asked to introduce themselves and comment on what they would like to get
from the EDC.
Mr. March noted that Centerville is a small community so there can be frustration
resulting when additions are already underway before they contact the City Hall
and learn a permit is required.
Mary Capra stated the EDC has changed in its membership and after the design
team project and follow-up visits, there was some downtime used to reorganize.
She agreed the EDC can evolve into a group that better serves the community
businesses. She asked if the EDC should prepare some recommendations for
Council consideration.
Council Member Nelson asked the EDC to talk with businesses to determine what
they are looking for and then the EDC can decide what they want to do and if they
want to change their role.
Ms. Capra commented on a State survey that was conducted and suggested that a
similar survey be distributed at the upcoming Business Appreciation Dinner to
gather additional input.
Council Member Travis stated he is hearing negative comments toward the City
Council at EDC meetings about issues considered by the Council such as a recent
approval on a setback variance.
Council Member Nelson stated she is thrilled with all the EDC has accomplished
and contributed to Centerville.
Mayor Wilharber stated that appreciation goes to all of the City's committees who
contribute greatly.
Resolution 00-09 - Business Subsidy Policy
Mr. March indicated the City has to adopt a formal Business Subsidy Policy to stay
in compliance with State law. He explained the Subsidy Policy was quite broad to
meet the requirements of the new law. Mr. March noted the policy had to be
Page 6 of 12
adopted in order to continue to offer tax increment financing and tax abatements as
economic development tools. He stated this policy is being suggested by Ehlers
and Associates.
Mr. March noted the attendance of Rich Tuomi, Odyssey Lures, and reviewed his
proposed project to construct a building. In 1997, a development contract for a
pay-as-you-go TIF project was signed for Odyssey Lures but not executed by the
developer. However, they now wish to execute the contract.
Mr. Hoeft stated he reviewed the resolution and cover letter and found no issues.
He stated he has not reviewed the updated development contract which is being
reviewed by Kennedy & Graven on behalf ofthe City. He stated he reviewed the
business subsidy policy which is in a general form and meets Statute requirements.
Mr. Tuomi stated he talked with Shelly Aldrich regarding new computations so
once those final numbers are known she will be advised and the contract can then
be completed for review. He stated he has worked on this project for about two
years, the bids have been received, plans reviewed, and they are set to go once this
final piece is completed.
Motion by Council Member Sweeney, seconded by Council Member Nelson
to approve Resolution 00-09 re2ardin2 the Business Subsidy Policy. All in
favor. Motion carried unanimoush'.
Mr. March stated the attorney indicated since the dollar amounts are not being
changed, only the dates, a new public hearing is not required to be held.
Mr. Tuomi stated they would like to more forward immediately.
Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers, seconded by Council
Member Travis to approve Resolution 00-10 authorizin2 Resolution. All in
favor. Motion carried unanimously.
Motion bv Council Member Nelson, seconded by Council Member Broussard
Vickers to reaffirm approval of cont....act for private development between
Centerville and Essex Holdin2s LLC alon2 with any ancillary documents
bein2 the investment letter and promissory note. All in favor. Motion
carried unanimoush'.
Mr. Hoeft was excused from the meeting at 7:07 p.rn.
Agreement for Residential Recycling Program
Mr. March presented the agreement with Anoka County which requires Centerville
to offer residential recycling in order to be eligible to acquire SCORE funding from
the County.
Page 7 of 12
Motion bv Council Member Broussard Vickers. seconded by Council
Member Sweeney to approve the Residential Recyclin2 Pro2ram as
submitted by Staff. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
St. Genevieve's - Lawful Gambling Exemption
It was noted that St. Genevieve's Church is requesting a gambling exemption from
the State in regard to the gambling activities that occur at the annual chicken
dinner.
Motion bv Council Member Sweeney. seconded by Council Member Travis
to approve St. Genevieve's Lawful Gamblin2 Exemption. All in favor.
Motion carried unanimously.
Tax Increment Financing Assistance - First Class Concrete
Mr. March indicated First Class Concrete has requested tax increment financing to
assist in the development of their proposed speculative office/warehouse building
on 20th A venue. He stated they conducted soil borings and found they will need
$75,000 to $100,000 in soil corrections. The building plans are complete but they
do not know if the project is feasible due to the need for soil conditions. He stated
he spoke with EWers about the possibility ofTIF eligibility and contacted the
property owner to find out ifhe is interested in establishing the TIF district which
generally costs about $5,000. Ehlers said the City could send a draft letter of
intent which the property owner could show to finance agents to assist with
obtaining financing.
Council Member Sweeney a.;;ked why they are locating a speculative building on
this site instead of across the street in the park where there are roads and utilities.
Mr. March stated the applicant purchased the property on a contract for deed so
they already have a substantial investment in the property.
Council Member Nelson asked if that type of poor soil conditions qualifies them
for TIF eligibility. Mr. March stated he did ask that question and learned the
location of peat, wood, and poor soils is not considered a contaminated site, so the
soil correction would be an economical consideration and result in additional costs.
He reported a manufacturing business is interested in locating in this building if it is
constructed.
Mr. March asked if the Council is interested in establishing a TIF District and, if
so, the amount of assistance that would be provided. He stated the Council may
want to review engineering estimates for the soil correction. .
Motion by Council Member Sweeney. seconded by Council Member Nelson
to establish a tax increment district with Ehlers for First Class Concrete and
authorize staff to provide a letter of intent to First Class Concrete.
Page 8 of 12
Council Member Travis stated he would like to have the need for soil correction
verified as well as the estimated costs.
Mr. March explained there is a large range of assistance that would be provided
and, at this point, it is not possible to determine that number. The letter of intent
would indicate the Council is receptive to giving some level ofTIF but indicating
no predetermined dollar amount. He explained that a district would not be
established for assistance until the soil borings are examined and costs determined.
All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
Bulk Water Fees
Mr. March gave an overview of the request from the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes
Regional Park to purchase water. He stated the City does not have a bulk water
rate set at this time and staff recommends that the bulk fee be placed at $20 per
load not exceeding 5,000 gallons per load. Mr. March added that additional
charges of$3 per 1,000 gallons would be charged for loads exceeding 5,000
gallons. The water would be used for improvements being made in the park
(compaction of soils, dust control, landscaping, etc).
Council Member Broussard Vickers stated she would not support a contract
arrangement so the City has the ability to stop the supply should there be a drought
situation.
Mr. March explained that a hydrant meter could be used to determine the amount
of water being used.
Council Member Travis suggested that a deposit be required for the meter so their
usage can be deducted from the deposit when the meter is returned.
Motion by Council Member Sweeney, seconded by Council Member Nelson
to authorize the purchase of a metered 2ate valve and approve the Bulk
Water Fees at $20 per 5,000 2allons with the ability to stop supplyin2 water
should there be a drou2ht condition. All in favor. Motion carried
unanimously.
X. CONSENT AGENDA
Accept Resignation of Part- Time Receptionist - Aimee Fairbrother
Mayor Wilharber stated the EDC mentioned the need for a repla.cement for Aimee
Fairbrother who has resigned and accepted a position with a neighboring city. Mr.
March stated a replacement will be assigned so the EDC meetings are covered.
Motion by Council Member Sweeney, seconded by Council Member
Broussard Vickers to accept the resi2nation of part-time Receptionist, Aimee
Fairbrother, with regret. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.

XI. COMMITTEE REPORTS
. Council Member Broussard Vickers reported on work by the Planning
Commission on Ordinance No.4 which will be updated and available for
an informational meeting next week.
. Council Member Travis stated the Fire Steering Committee reviewed the
Fire Department budget for 2001 which was ratified with a minimal
increase so some contingency money was included.
. Council Member Sweeney stated the Park and Recreation Committee
received a request to construct a BMX bike track. He noted that
Shoreview has put in a track by their Community Center which draws
many users. He stated the Committee will look into insurance for such an
activity since it may be better to be involved with providing a park than
allowing the youth to construct their own.
Council Member Nelson stated her support to research this option.
Council Member Travis stated he suggested youth attend the Committee
meeting to make this request due to his fear that someone would be hurt at
the dirt track they constructed. He stated that he was asked by several kids
why a park is not being provided for them (12-15 year olds) since parks are
provided for younger children. He agreed there is a need for this type of
park for Centerville's youth.
Council Member Sweeney stated the Committee will look into insurance
information and liabilities, he will raise this topic at the next meeting.
Council Member Broussard Vickers commented on the Shoreview
Community Center park which is staffed full time and users are required to
wear protective gear. She stated that her concern will be insurance costs.
Motion by Mavor Wilharber. seconded by Council Member Nelson to
direct staff to research liability issues. location options. and insurance
costs for such a BMX bike track. Motion carried unanimously.
. Council Member Sweeney provided an update on the City Festival event,
parade route, and carnival. He stated they also received an outstanding
Page 10 of12
response from area businesses for donations. He thanked all who have
donated funds and will be donating funds to assure this will be the best
event yet. Mayor Wilharber noted that some residents have also provided
contributions.
XI. ADMINISTRATORS REPORT
TIF Reporting
Mr. March indicated he will be at the Manager's Conference and unable to attend
the May 10, 2000, Council meeting. He stated he spoke with Ehlers and has
documentation for the next TIF report. Mr. March advised that Ehlers has created
software for TIF reporting and he would recommend they take over the TIF
reports to avoid any possible communication problems. He stated Ehlers will also
provide documents and reports on all of the previously established TIF districts.
Mr. March stated the TIF process and procedures has become more complex and
using Ehlers will ensure the correct process is followed.
Paving Hockey Rink Proiect
Mr. March stated the Park and Recreation Commission has addressed paving the
hockey rink with asphalt or concrete ($18,000-$20,000) so it is easier to flood the
hockey rink, reduces water loss, and provide a location for year round use
including rollerblading and half-court basketball. He stated the street dance could
also occur in a paved hockey rink.
Council Member Travis stated there are a lot of good reasons to pave the rink. He
stated he asked the youth who made the BMX dirt track why they don't use
LaMotte Park, and they indicated it is too far away.
Mayor Wilharber suggested staff determine a more exact cost estimate and how it
could be funded.
Council Member Broussard Vickers stated it may be possible to find volunteers to
finish the concrete.
Upcoming City Administrator Review
Mayor Wilharber stated he had asked Mr. March to prepare a report on his
accomplishments which can be considered during his review.

The Chair stated for the record that the applicants removed the Special Use Permit
Request application for consideration.
Mr. March noted that Mr. Carter (6913 Sumac Court) was in attendance and reiterated
that appropriate notices had been forwarded to residents prior to the applicant's request to
remove the application for consideration. Mr. Carter was invited to stay for the
remainder of the meeting.
DCS PROPERTIES. LLC - Variance Request (1695 Main Street)
The Chair clarified that Members Sheppard and De Vine would be abstaining from the
voting process due to their positions held on the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Page I of 4
Member Rob Sheppard stated that the current structure has an attached cement stairway
that extends approximately five (5) feet from the storefront and on the house side the
concrete retaining wall and steps extend approximately nine (9) feet from the building.
Currently, from curb to foundation of the front of the building there is twelve (12) feet.
Subsequent to the site being surveyed and "pinned" at four (4) feet from the curb (80 feet
"pinned it through.the building"). DCS Properties is requesting to put a six (6) foot porch
with stairs protruding on the storefront. The porch itself would be six (6) feet from the
curb and the stairs/steps would protrude (the bottom of the stairs) to four (4) feet from the
curb. Mr. Sheppard stated that the house immediate to the side of the structure's steps are
approximately three (3) to three and one balf(3 112) feet from the curb.
The Commission questioned if the presented exterior renovation of the building was in
conjunction with the architectural approval of the Downtown Revitalization Committee?
Mr. Sheppard stated that at present, no criteria has been formalized; however, DCS
Properties' plans support a ''western style" exterior which is one of several themes being
discussed by the Committee. Mr. Sheppard expressed DCS Properties' desire to
implement the renovations promptly. Mr. March reported that an informal presentation
of the exterior was presented to the Downtown Revitalization Commission at their recent
workshop. Discussion ensued regarding the need for handicap railings and accessibility
that would apply with the current building code. Mr. Sheppard noted that the that the
current renovation plans would comply with existing building codes and that there was a
handicap accessible entrance in the back of the building.
The committee discussed the property's current zoning as being Commercial/Industrial,
Mixed Use, its zero setback and the need for a variance. Currently, there has not been a
request to modifY zoning.
Chairperson Hanson called for a motion to open the public hearing regarding DCS
Properties, LLC - Variance Request (1695 Main Street) to hear public comment.
Motion by Member Kilian. seconded by Member Brainard to open the public hearing
regarding DCS Properties. LLC - Variance Request (1695 Main Street). All in favor.
Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Bob Sherran (1691 Main Street) stated that he felt that the renovations would be a
very attractive entrance to the City.
Discussion ensued in regards to several other variances that are currently on hold
requesting zero setbacks ( outbuildings). Discussion continued in regards to the
applic~t's removal for consideration; however, at the time the requests were made they
would have been denied. The Chair read several excerpts from Ordinance #4 referring to
the criteria that must be met prior to granting a Variance.
1. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to
land, structure or building involved and do not result from the
actions of petitioner.
Page 2 of 4
2. Literal interpretation of the provisions of this Ordinance would
deprive the petitioner of rights commonly enjoyed by other
properties in the same district under the terms of this ordinance.
3. Granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant
and special privilege as denied by this ordinance or to other lands,
structures or buildings in the same district.
4. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light
in the air of the adjacent property, unreasonably diminish or impair-
established property values within the surrounding area or in any
other respect impair the public health, safety or welfare of the
residents of the City.
The Chair requested comment on each individual criterion. Brief comments took place
that the property and existing building met the existing Ordinance #4 criteria for

CALL TO ORDER
Acting chairperson Magill called the regular scheduled EDC meeting to order at 7: 11 p.m.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Motion by Mr. Ma~iIl, seconded by Ms. Capra to approve the March 21, 2000, meetin2
minutes. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
OLD BUSINESS
City Theme (Historical)
Mr. Magill feels the downtown business owners who have a direct impact are the key to
revitalization in the downtown. Mr. Magill added that it is apparent revitalization is starting to
happen on its own, and stated several residents have expressed positive comments about the
changes.
Mr. Montain was not present for the EDC meeting. EDC will discuss more on this agenda item
after Mr. Montain meets with the downtown business owners about their future building plans in
the downtown area. Mr. Montain is also working on coordinating costs on different elements of
the revitalization. Ms. Scheller is willing to work with Mr. Montain on coordinating meetings
\vith the downtown area business owners. Ms. Scheller has had experience serving as a
Page 1 of 3
facilitator and would serve without opinion, to keep the revitalization moving.
Ms. Capra stated Mr. Bob Thein would like to see Centerville develop a genealogy research
center in Centerville. Mr. Thein is willing to give the City historical information he has collected
over many years. Ms. Capra will be taking this item to Council to ask for their guidance and
feeling related to this item.
Star City Goals and Obiectives
The committee will review the Star City Goals following the Business Appreciation Dinner at
the May EDC meeting.
Zonine; Ordinance Update
The EDC is requesting a copy of the most recent Ordinance #4 draft, along with an outline of the
changes brought forward thus far. The Economic Development Committee is interested in the
changes to the Ordinance that affect area business.
Chairperson Rehbine commented on the recent variance approval for the front porch of the old
LaMotte Store. Mr. Rehbine wanted to point out that by approving this variance, we may run
into difficulties implementing a sidewalk or lighting based on the remaining four feet. The
variance also sets a "standard" for the other businesses in the downtown area, and questioned if
the variance falls into the Design Team Vision. Mr. Rehbine's solution would be to build the
steps protruding into the building, leaving a clear space in front ofthe building. The committee
stressed that due to concerns of this nature, it is important to clarify in the Zoning Ordinance, 0-5
foot set backs, with an eight foot easement from the curb. Council Member Travis stated there
was a formal Public Hearing on the variance, and added it was met without any opposition.
Business Appreciation Dinner
Mr. Rehbine will give a brief presentation on the Lino Lakes Chamber of Commerce as well as
on the role ofEDC prior to the Mayor's presentation. Mayor Wilharber will present Lloyd
Drilling with the 1999 Business of the Year Award along with recognizing the Citizen of the
Year. Ms. Scheller will call the EDC members who will be bringing in items for the dinner one
week prior to remind them of their responsibilities.
NEW BUSINESS
Staff Liaison Vacancy
The EDC requests the appointment of a replacement for Ms. Fairbrother. The committee feels
the liaison is extremely important to the vitality of the committee.
