Private school, residential development proposed BY MADELINE DOLBY CONTRIBUTING WRITER
leadership requirements seemed out of reach. “We had some very strong leaders … so when they phased out of the troop, there was a large negative space that had to get filled,” Tyler recalled. “It was like, ‘Oh, I can fulfill this role.’ It was less of a grind, more of supporting the troop.” Sawyer’s path was different. After achieving Life Scout, Sawyer’s sport, school and church commitments made a leadership commitment difficult. The troop’s
LINO LAKES — A private school and residential development have been proposed by TCLD Land Holdings LLC to be built in the southeast quadrant of Main Street and Sunset Avenue. The development is being called Robinson South. The planned unit development (PUD) concept plan was presented to the Lino Lakes City Council at a recent work session. The development contains approximately 153 gross acres and would consist of a mix of 389 housing units and the K-12 private school. “We’re (at) step one of our development review process,” City Planner Katie Larsen explained. “At the concept plan level there is no formal action by council. This is high-level review comments.” According to Larsen, the development would consist of single-family homes and townhomes. There would be 130 single-family 55-foot-wide lots, 178 single-family 65-foot-wide lots, eight single-family 80-foot-wide lots and 73 row townhomes. Larsen added the school is proposed in the northwest quadrant of the development. The applicant is currently working with Avail Academy.

Sawyer Celotta is the newest Eagle Scout from Troop 692, a troop chartered by the Lino Lakes American Legion. Eagle Scout is the highest rank in Scouts BSA, and one only 6% of Scouts achieve. Sawyer’s older brother, Tyler Celotta, and his father, Daniel Celotta, are also Eagle Scouts.
“I wanted to be an Eagle Scout when I was younger, but then, as I kept going, I stopped wanting to because it was a lot of work,” Sawyer recalled. After pausing a moment, he added, “But then I just didn’t stop.” Tyler had a similar attitude when he was in Scouts. “I never thought I could get Eagle,” he said. “I feel like the way to motivate a kid into doing Eagle is to not give them a list of all the things that they need to complete right at the very beginning.” For Tyler, achieving the rank of First Class felt doable, but the
