Friedrich given responsibility to see that work was completed. Correspondence read and following action required. The engineer report on the water situation in front of the old bank building on Lake Elmo Road does not solve the problem. Water is still being created by the Elmo Inn which settles on the roadway and eventually seeps through the wall on the East side of the building. Engineer to be advised to review this matter and to contact the mayor when he makes his inspection. Letter received from the Minnesota Conservation Dept. regarding the establishment of high water marks on the Village lakes. Based on this report it was the opinion of the Council and also Village Counsel Raleigh that we did not have sufficient cause to warrant pursuing this matter further. A copy of S.F.99 regarding the Oakdale -Lake Elmo Boundary was read and the clerk instructed to put on comeout for the last meeting in September for consideration at that time. Report from Cimarron on population gives a new total of 665 residents. This makes the Village population approx. 4700. Letter from Bonestroo advising the .Council that they should make sure to retain an easement of at least 15' of any land contiguous to Lake Jane Rd, when considering the road vacation in that area. Letter for a proposed water distribution study was received from Bonestroo. Cost of study approa.M150. Council discussed matter and determined that this item had not been budgeted but that it should be put under consideration at the 197- budget meeting. Copies to be distributed to councilmen. Report from the Washington County Treasurer reporting fines assessed for the month of June in the amount of $143.00, Counsel Raleigh submitted a proposed new ordinance relative to coning of land in the Village of Lake Elmo. Clerk to distribute copies to members of the council for study. Gary Schmidt and Mr. Phillippi appeared relative to the possibility of getting a road approved in the Panasow addition. They were informed that under the present conditions the Village could not accept the road until it was built to village standards, and approved by the engineer. They were also informed that abig cost of a road improvdment in the area would be for a storm sewer to carry all the water away from the area. Mr. R. Peterson 2425 Sumac Road requested a variation from the code for a garage on his property. The 30 ft setback makes it almost an impossibility to build a garage but that it could be done with a 20 ft. setback. Motion by C. Abercrombie 2nd by C. Shervheim that since Mr. Peterson is the only resident on the street and variance would have no effect on anybody else that the variance be granted. Carried 4-0. The minutes of the Planning Commission were reviewed. Matter of a Wausau home on property in Tablyn Park was reviewed. It was determined that since the state code accepts these homes that we would not be able to hold them up and require a bond any longer.
