LAKE ELMO COUNCIL MEETING-7/5/83 Page 2 • Fraser - I believe it's needed and people seem in favor of blacktopping; one problem is with assessments. ♦ Eder - Unless street is improved, it would be left out of sealcoating program. Keep in mind costs are only estimates. o Mazzara - I'm in favor of it since I've been on streets and can see problems. • Bohrer - This proposal is considered the least cost alternative. Standard approach would be to test soil, replace with sandy soil, gravel base and pavement. ♦ Dunn - Originally people were opposed but apparently have reconsidered so I have no oposition. M/S/P Fraser/Mazzara to adopt Resolution 83-46: A RESOLUTION ORDERING THE CITY ENGINEER TO PREPARE FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICIATIONS FOR STREET IMPROVEMENTS TO JAMACA COURT NORTH -(Carried 4 ayes; Morgan abstain) • Morgan - Couldn't vote approval because of small turnout of previous opposers. (Mr. Kuettner mentioned that some property is rented, vacant, etc.) 7. HEARING,.HOREISH VARIANCE & SHORELAND PERMIT - Bohrer explained to those present to discuss (a)hUartiig iq-iophoreland variance for Lots 2, 3 and 4 for lots under 1.5 acres and (b) Mr. Horeish Shoreland Permit including the variance for a lot under 1.5 acres. Plat was approved prior to Shoreland Ordinance adoption in 1980. DNR commitment is forthcoming. • Fraser - What other properties could expect this same type of treatment? (Bohrer - there are some undeveloped lots but haven't made a thorough search.) • Eder mentioned the many exceptions made in DeMontreville Highlands. ♦ Bohrer - the few that would come up would be best done this way. If variances not involved, permit or proposal still comes before the Council. p Mazzara - would like to see how many more lots are involved. M/S/P Fraser/Morgan to (a) approve a blanRL-t variance for Lots 2, 3 and 4 for lots under 1.5 acres and (2) a Shoreland permit for Lot 2 to include variance. (5 ayes) 8. JANE ROAD NORTH IMPROVEMENTS, COST STUDY - Whittaker had one other response from David Krause opposing project. Responses received were 5 opposed, 1 for the project, and 1 phone call in opposition. • Jim Weyer - opposed to both options: 32' wide road wouldn't look right and additional water runoff isn't needed in Lake Jane area; the 22' wide road is without drainage and we've already had soil erosion on our particular property. We're also opposed to making this a through street. We prefer to leave Jane Road the way it is. • Bohrer - 32' road was proposed to collect water at low end and put drainage into Springborn. 22' wide road would not control drainage. Absolute minimum would be 22' otherwise traffic could not pass. • Morgan - cost? (Bohrer - 32' street $4,300/1ot; 22' road $1,800/lot. These are larger lots so cost is more than for Jamaca Court improvements.) • Fraser - so it appears a petition is not forthcoming? (Whittaker- correct.) ♦ Jim Weyer - in past, it was assumed this would be a paved "driveway" and not a city wide street and without the potential of being made into a through street. (Eder - intention of first proposal was using 66' wide street and that's why lot is 66' wide.)
