Margaret Schmidt, 4525 Lake Elmo Avenue, submitted her concerns in a January 30'h e-mail. At the meeting she stated she wanted a safe, useable road and asked if the Council looked at the improvement for the residents just along 50 Street or at the benefit for the entire City. M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong — to postpone the 50" Street Improvement project until the 2001 Building season. (Motion passed 5-0). 8. PLANNING, LAND USE & ZONING: A. Minor Subdivision: Dennis Hogan, 5038 Linden Trail Planner Dillerud reported this application is the result of an inaccurate placement of a swimming pool on Lot 1, resulting in encroachment both into the side yard setback of Lot 1, and (by inches) across the property line into Outlot C. The lot areas of the respective parcel will remain the same after the division action as previously approved and now existing. New written easements are a condition of this subdivision approval. The property owners will have to secure replacement open space easements from the Minnesota Land Trust. Land Trust staff has indicated that there should be no problem with the replacement. Council member DeLapp sat on the MN Land Trust Board, when this request came before them, and by motion they denied this request, requiring 4000'. M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong — to adopt Resolution No. 2000-05, as amended, (3. Preparation by the applicant, review of the new easement by the City Attorney and City Engineer accomplished by May 1, 2000......) A Resolution Granting a Minor Subdivision of Lot 1, Block 5, and Outlot C, Tamarack Farms Estates, requested by Dennis Hogan, 5038 Linden Trail, as recommended by the Planning Commission. (Motion passed 5-0). B. Vacation of Drainage Easements — Dennis Hogan, 5038 Linden Trail Planner Dillerud reported, consistent with Agenda Item A, a Public Hearing has been noticed to consider the vacation of the drainage and utility easements along the property lines of Lot 1, Block 5 and Outlot C, Tamarack Farm Estates, where those easements would conflict with the revised lot arrangement of the Minor Subdivision action. The vacation resolution will not be recorded until those easements are supplied to the City, and recorded concurrently. . Mayor Hunt opened up the Public Hearing at 8:29 p.m. No one spoke for or against the request. Mayor Hunt closed the Public Hearing at 8:30 p.m. M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong — to adopt Resolution No. 2000-06, as amended, (ADD: Be it further resolved, that the vacation is conditional upon the satisfaction of the Minor Subdivision conditions in Resolution No. 2000-05.), A Resolution approving vacation of certain drainage and utility easements in Lot 1, Block 5 and Outlot C, Tamarack Farms Estates, consistent with the approved Minor Subdivision. (Motion passed 5-0). 9. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: None 10. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS: Mayor Hunt attended a meeting on speeds with Met Council Rep., Marc Huginen, and representatives from Afton, Grant, and Hugo. All of these communities were upset with the speeds set on City streets. Mayor Hunt provided a resolution adopted by Afton, where they found in MN State Statutes, a town road is not a well defined word, and the road authority could post speed limits on a town road. The Council asked the City Attorney to look into the State Statues 169.14 Speed Limits to see if, legally, Lake Elmo could adopt such a resolution at the next meeting. The Council suggested we ask for assistance from Rep. Peg Larsen. Council member DeLapp asked if the City could request a timing change of traffic signalization on Ideal Avenue and Hwy 5.
