LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 19, 2011 4 2011 Street and Water Quality Improvements; Accepting the Bids and Awarding the Contract The City Council was asked to accept bids and award a contract for the 2011 Street and Water Quality Improvements. The City Engineer recommended that Council award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder Hardrives, Inc., as outlined in the Engineer’s Recommendation of the Award of the Contract. MOTION: Council Member Park moved to approve Resolution No. 2011-016, accepting the Bids and Awarding a Contract to Hardrives, Inc. for the 2011 Street and Water Quality Improvements in the amount of $469,524.99, per the Engineer’s Letter of Recommendation for the Award of the contract. Council Member Pearson seconded the motion. The motion passed 4-1 (Council Member Emmons voting against). Zoning Text Amendment: Consideration of Ordinance No. 08-040 to allow a Park and Ride as a Conditional Use Permit in the HD-RR-LB District The City Council was asked to consider Ordinance 08-042 amending Section 154.038 to allow a Park and Ride as a conditional use in the HD-RR-LB district, and to include a definition for Park and Ride in Section 11.01. This action was presented at the request of the City Council and has been recommended by the Planning Commission. There are four properties zoned HD-RR-LB which are located south of Hudson Boulevard and located at the intersections of I-94 and Manning Avenue as well as I-94 and Keats Avenue. An application for a park and ride has not been received, nor is a specific project being discussed at this time. Council Member Emmons wanted to include a caveat that any Park and Ride must not hamper the City’s ability to provide municipal sewer and water hookups along the I-94 corridor. Emmons argued that it would be difficult for the City to have the REC units (required hookups from Met Co.) placed elsewhere along the sewer line. The City Council discussed this at length MOTION: Council Member Park moved to approve Ordinance 08-040 amending Section 154.038 allowing a Park and Ride as a conditional use in the HD-RR-LB district. Council Member Pearson seconded the motion. The motion passed 4-1 (Council Member Emmons voting against the motion). MOTION: Council Member Emmons moved to direct the staff to research action addressing any negative impact on the City meeting the total REC units and regain any loss of taxable revenue if Park and Ride lots are eventually built in the City. Council Member Park seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0.
