MEMO (April 6, 2006 for the Meeting of April 10, 2006) To: Lake Elmo Planning Commission From: Chuck Dillerud Subject: OP Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat/CUP — "Hidden Meadows of Lake Elmo" . As of the agenda closing time for the meeting of April 10 the City Engineer had not received plans from the applicant's engineer that reflect the required infrastructure design modifications or previously incomplete plan sheets. The two engineers have been conversing regarding these matters and I understand from both parties that most of the issues raised by the City Engineer regarding the plans (or lack thereof) can and will be resolved by April 10. I have requested (and will receive) a memo from the City Engineer to that effect by Monday's meeting. I have also conversed with the applicant's engineer regarding the buffer screening plans that are required to demonstrate the year-round effectiveness of screening in lieu of the full 200 foot OP buffer. As of the agenda publication time those plans are not completed, but I am assured they will be by Monday's meeting. Since "effectiveness" is clearly a judgment call, I have advised the applicant's engineer that I will place the applications on the April 10 Planning Commission agenda without staff review of the buffer plans. Those plans may be available prior to the meeting — allowing a brief staff review — but, will for certain be available at the meeting for Commission review. I have attached all of the agenda materials regarding these applications that the Commission first received for the March 27 Hearing.
