LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 6, 1983 Page 4 d. Petition - Jane Road North Improvements: City Engineer, Larry Bohrer, summarized Larry Whittaker's memo of December 2, 1983, and clarified the following items in this memo. That in the last paragraph on page one wherein it is stated that "the street we will have to maintain will, with the right drainage improvements, last as long as a typical 32 foot street with curbs." should read that "the street will last as long as a typical street of the same type without curbs". On page two wherein it states "the re- alignment would be more desirable, but the Brass' who are most affected by the present alignment, are willing to accept a slight encroachment onto their property." No encroachment actually goes onto their property, it's just that the boulevard is much smaller; and delete the word "easement" from the fourth line of Item #5 on page 1 of report. M/S/P Morgan/Eder - To Adopt Resolution 83-73 accepting the Jane Road North Petition under the terms negotiated as outlined in Larry Whittaker's memo of 12/2/83 (as amended) in developing the designs of the road and instructing the City Engineer to proceed with the necessary preparation of plans and specifications as agreed upon. The project has been deemed feasible under the 6/21/83 report by City Engineer. (Motion carried 5-0) Notation was made that the resolution formally adopted, to accept the street should be recorded against the deeds of all of the properties involved. Fraser stated that in principle she did not agree with this solution and from a practical point of view, the standard 32 foot road would be more desireable and less costly in the long run. As the Council did not adhere to the standard 32 foot road requirement and allowed this to become negotiable, her only reason for voting in favor of this motion now is that it is the best solution to the problem, and not because it is a desireable approach. e. Other: M/S/P Dunn/Morgan To accept the bid from LPD Electric in the amount of $215.00 to furnish and install a used wooden utility pole in Lions Park; and to authorize the City Administrator to enter into an agreement with LPD Electric for this work. (Carried 5-0) 5. Planning Commission Report: a. David Nelson Rezoning Application: Nelson presented a minor change in the positioning of the proposed five houses on his land. He also asked if his lots could be divided in such a way that a portion would be on one side of the proposed road and a portion on the other. City Engineer Bohrer stated that the lots would then be discontinuous and didn't know of anything in the City Code that specifically denies it, but doesn't know if it has ever been done.
