LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JUNE 21, 1983 6. PELTIER HEARING - Continued: --Folz - this is a general concept plan of how the property could be developed - basically showing access to Legion Avenue and that the proposed lot and remaining property will have access. Density will not be more than proposed on the plan. --Ann Bucheck, 2301 Legion Avenue - is it necessary to connect Legion Avenue in Eden Park to Legion Avenue in Ellman Addition? --Folz - all past City road plans indicate a connection between 20th and 30th Streets. At some place from where Legion Avenue ends in Eden Park the road will have to go east or west to Lake Elmo Avenue or North to 30th Street - it would not be allowed to continue as a dead-end. Aware that residents on Legion Avenue want it to remain a dead end. ---Joe Higgins, 2395 Legion Lane - questioned the variances - appears, if the requested variances are approved, what is required in the ordinance do not mean anything - also, the plan does not mean anything. --Folz - plan was done as a concept - only showing the location of the proposed 1 1/2 acre lot. --Alan Alshouse, 2389 Legion Lane N. - as a. tax payer not interested in seeing more roads to maintain. Believe this would be an additional liability to the City should the road be extended. Hold these things down that are not necessary at this time. --Joe Higgins - concerned about the extension of the road(Legion) Believe it is unreasonable to require adjacent property owners to pay a portion of the road extension construction. Opposes a 1 lot subdivision - area should be platted just as Eden Park was - all developers should follow the same rules. --Bob Stone - Believe plan should be developed so that adjacent property owners know what is going to go in. Without a plat do not know what is going to happen to the property. Do not want to see a piecemeal development - Development should maintain the same demeanor as Eden park. Residents should expect ordinances to be adhered to. Agrees with Bruce Folz''s concern about locating the e/w street in line with Legion Lane - concerned about water and run-off. High density of children in this area. Any type of through road connection would be dangerous. The residential area atmosphere should be maintained. Believe the street as proposed to the north is preferred because of the terrain and incline. --Linda Stone -25 children in this area. Bad area in the winter - steep, slippery and icey. --Folz - would prefer to not pave the extension of Legion Avenue now, but wait until the entire parcel develops„and the proposed lot becomes a part of that development. Would enter into a private road agreement with the City. Road to.the lot would be graveled and maintained by the property owner. Asking that the lot can be conveyed by metes and bounds, rather than a lot and block in a plat. The lot would be included in a future plat for the property. Great deal of additional expense in requiring platting for one lot - $700- $800. There being no further comments Mayor Eder closed the hearing at 8:17 p.m.
