Lake Elmo City Council Meeting 2-7-84 Page 5 Bohrer stated he would like to address the issue, prior to the public hearing; estimated costs, plan, etc. D. Review Code Amendments The staff informed the Council that they would proceed with the following two code amendments. (1) include a provision in the minor subdivision section of the code to require applicants to obtain a one year extension of time from the City Council if all the terms and conditions of the subdivision has not been met within one year from original approval; and, (2) to prohibit the placement of the required second drainfield between the trenches of the first drainfield. There was no objection from the Council. E. Other: Bohrer stated that the Highway Department has finished the construction plans for the last bit of I-94 construction. They have sent us the plans for review, but it might be appropriate to ask them to come in at the next meeting and make a short presentation, and go over some of the things that are of concern to Lake Elmo. (Handling of drainage, access during construction, etc.) 7. Council Reports: A. Fraser: Resolution of Appreciation for retired fire chief. M/S/P Fraser/Mazzara - to adopt Resolution 84-21 offering appreciation and thanks to Bruce Kuettner for his contributions to the City of Lake Elmo Volunteer Fire Department for his services as Fire Chief from April, 1979, through December, 1983 and that a suitable plaque be obtained for or with the Resolution. (Motion carried 4-0) Fraser further suggested that some type of volunteer fire department informational meeting be held. To invite representatives from local businesses and groups in the City to meet with the City Council and citizens that are interested, to talk about what could be done over a period of time to make the work of the department better known and to express appreciation. Notation was made that there are now only seventeen active members in the department (an all-time low), and that perhaps this could be a way to recruit new members. B. Eder: Snow piles and spring thaw: Eder stated he had a call from a resident concerned with the piling of snow in the old village area. Should we have some type of plan if this became a problem to the area residents? Bohrer stated he talked with Dave Wisdorf, and that the street department is planning on opening up the waterway now thru Lion's Park. They are beginning to plan for the spring runoff. Right now there is no problem.
