was made based on the conceptual approval that was <br />given by the City Council on March 19, 1985 for the <br />entire 145 acre cluster development. <br />10. On February 9, 1987, the Lake Elmo Planning <br />Commission held a public hearing to consider the <br />preliminary plat of Lake Elmo Heights 2nd Addition. <br />The Planning Commission recommended that the new <br />cluster standards (4 lots per 40 acres with 5 to 7 acre <br />contiguous lots, with no transfer of density) apply to <br />the Lake Elmo Heights 2nd Addition preliminary plat. <br />11. On April 7, 1987, the Lake Elmo City Council held <br />a public hearing to consider the request of Don Bishop, <br />on behalf of the Lake Elmo Heights Limited Partnership <br />for a variance to the Rural Residential cluster <br />development standards adopted by the City on November <br />18, 1986. The variance would allow applicant to <br />complete Lake Elmo Heights 2nd Addition under the 7 lot <br />per 40 acre 1979 Rural Residential Cluster Standards, <br />rather than the 4 per 40 acre Rural Residential Cluster <br />Standards. <br />12. On June 16, 1987, the Lake Elmo City Council <br />granted preliminary plat approval for Lake Elmo Heights <br />2nd Addition noting that this was the remaining 13 <br />lots, (plus one 93 acre Out Lot) from the original 25 <br />lot cluster development proposal that had been approved <br />in concept on March 19, 1985. The City Council further <br />determined that a variance for the length of the cul- <br />de-sac was not needed; and determined that a variance <br />to the requirement of 1 acre of land for a drainfield <br />was not required. <br />13. On June 27, 1987 the Lake Elmo Planning Commission <br />recommended, on a 7 to 2 vote, that the Lake Elmo City <br />Council deny the final plat of Lake Elmo Heights 2nd <br />Addition based on their conclusion that the cul-de-sac <br />should be permanent and limited to 800 feet; that <br />cluster development is considered to be the ultimate <br />density under the current Comprehensive Plan and <br />therefore, street planning for the Out Lot is not <br />necessary, <br />14. On July 7, 1987, the Lake Elmo City Council <br />granted final plat approval to Lake Elmo Heights 2nd <br />Addition (13 clustered home sites) by adoption of <br />Resolution 87.33 with the condition the applicant <br />comply with the recommendations of the City Engineer <br />subject to the applicant complying with the <br />recommendations of the Washington County Public Works <br />Department, subject to the City Attorney's written <br />approval of the developers agreement, and subject to <br />
