LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 11-20-84 PAGE 2 B. Dorothy Lyons on the entrance to the Regional Park Ms. Lyons expressed concern over the entrance to the Regional Park. Her concerns are whether or not the County will continue to acquire land, contrary to the plans that they have previously been presented to the City. Consensus of the Council is to contact Washington County for further information regarding this entrance, review the previous plans that were submitted to the City, and put this item on a future City Council agenda for review. Also, Ms. Lyons will meet with the City Administrator to go over the information that is available, along with a representative from Washington County. 5. City Engineer's Report A. Loetscher/Dickhausen simple lot subdivision and lot size zoning variance at 3063 Jamley Avenue. The Council reviewed the memo from the Engineer dated November 15, 1984 in which he indicates that the applicants have now revised the certificate of survey, provided soil tests and design for a new septic system on each lot, and are prepared to construct a separate well. The applicants have shown that there is sufficient room on each lot to construct a new septic system should the existing ones fail. They have also expressed their willingness to deed the rights -of -way to the City and construct a new well. He believes all of the concerns of the Council have now been met, and recommended that the City Council grant the simple lot division with variances for lot size. The hardship is that the property has two homes located on it and has been used as separate lots for many years. M/S/P Mazzara/Dunn - That the intent of the City Council is to approve by Resolution a simple lot subdivision with lot size variance for Dickhausen/Loetscher at 3063 Jamley Avenue after the well is constructed and the quit claircm deeds are provided.
