for fighting fires. The longer it takes to access the supply, the quicker a fire can spread and <br />the more dangerous it will be for responders. Obstructions cause unnecessary delays <br />when firefighters are forced to take time to locate hidden hydrants, slowing their response. <br /> <br />Many hydrants are hidden by weeds, shrubbery, flowerbeds, posts, fences, snow and <br />other obstructions. Residents are urged to check to see if they have a hydrant in their front <br />yard or somewhere on their property and to “adopt” it, keeping it clear. A path from the <br />street and an area three feet around the hydrant will allow quick access for firefighters and <br />for public works staff completing maintenance. <br /> <br />Please help protect the city, its people and their homes. <br />Get involved! <br />The City of Lake Elmo is seeking interested <br />residents to serve on the Planning <br />Commission. The Planning Commission meets <br />1-2 times per month to review and hold public <br />hearings for development applications, <br />variances and other planning related items. No <br />experience is necessary! Application and more <br />information is available on the City's website: <br />click here , or contact City Administrator <br />Kristina Handt for more information: <br />khandt@lakeelmo.org. <br />Get out and enjoy the <br />groomed trails! <br />Public Works groom multiuse trails within <br />the Sunfish Lake, Ried, Pebble and <br />Demontreville Wildlife Parks after each <br />snow event. <br />Sunfish Lake Park is the largest Park in the <br />city and offers 248 acres of nature and <br />fresh white snow. Walk/run/bike/ski or <br />snowshoe the 5.5 miles of groomed trails <br />with the park. <br />Winter Parking <br />Please remember that the City of <br />Lake Elmo has a winter parking <br />ordinance that prohibits parking <br />on city streets from November <br />1st through March 31st between <br />2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. This <br />gives crews a window of time for <br />clearing streets curb to curb more <br />efficiently. Thank you for your <br />understanding and cooperation!
