She stated that if this is a common <br />lot size and configuration in the neighborhood, as stated numerous <br />times, and sewer is available, the Council should seriously <br />consider rezoning the area. <br />Callahan cautioned the City 1n doing so as they have been Informed <br />by the Metropolitan Council that the City should rezone to larger <br />parcels. <br />B) Goetten urged all to vote in the primary. <br />C) Jabbour reported on the Public Access Task Force. He explained <br />the LMCD originally thought the members of the Task Force should <br />be divided into 25 sub - committees. The Task Force was finally <br />divided into two groups commissioned to study the criteria for <br />counting car /trailer parking spaces and for actually counting those <br />spaces. He said the LMCD was incapable of conducting the meetings <br />so a facilitator was hired. He explained that after the criteria <br />was agreed upon, the spaces were counted, but the LMCD did not <br />agree with the number they came up with and those numbers were <br />manipulated. The Chairman of the Task Force was about to report to <br />the LMCD Board on those findings when Jabbour discovered the <br />numbers had been changed from 845 parking spaces to 148. At the <br />last meeting, the LMCD realized the original numbers might be <br />correct. He said he has volunteered to raise the money to hire a <br />certified engineer to draw those parking spaces on half section <br />maps based on the negotiated criteria. He realized at the last <br />meeting, that the LMCD was chipping away at the criteria. . <br />8 <br />
