Trunk-or-treat kicks off Halloween celebrations
Vehicle sales lot, office building proposed on Lake Drive BY MADELINE DOLBY EDITOR
LINO LAKES — A motor vehicle sales lot and an office building have been proposed at 7920 Lake Drive by Tyler Heubsch. The project is being called Lino Lakes Dealership and Office. According to the city staff report presented to Planning and Zoning Board members, the lot is a vacant commercial lot at the southeast corner of Lake Drive and Kelly Street. It is legally described as Lot 1, Block 2, Pine Glen, an existing subdivision platted in 2006. The lot is zoned GB, General Business. City Planner Katie Larsen said the proposed office building would contain 37 offices, one garage for parking and two conference rooms. “Overall, the site and building are compliant with our zoning requirements. There are a couple revisions that they need to go through regarding lot size, setbacks and architecture,” she added. The photometric plan will also need to be revised. The site has 119 surface parking spaces and one garage parking space for a total of 120 spaces. Larsen explained that, under city code, a motor vehicle sales lot of this size requires 90 spaces. The proposed office space would require 36 parking spaces.

Minnesota motorcyclists, rejoice! A new law allows motorcycle lane splitting and lane filtering on roads and highways. Under the terms of the law, lane splitting is allowed when two or more lanes of traffic are traveling in the same direction and traffic is moving. Specifically, it permits a motorcyclist to pass another vehicle traveling in the same direction and in the
same traffic lane, provided the motorcyclist is traveling at no more than 25 miles per hour and no more than 15 miles per hour over the speed of traffic in the relevant lanes. Lane filtering, on the other hand, is allowed when two or more lanes of traffic are traveling in the same direction and traffic is not moving. This allows motorcyclists to move through stopped traffic, including at traffic lights or in congestion, provided they
