LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 1-8-85 PAGE 3 M/S/P Morgan/Armstrong - To accept the Engineer's recommendation that he proceed with field surveys, preliminary design, and cost estimates for the improvement of Lower 33rd Street from Klondike Avenue to CSAH 17 necessary to prepare a feasibility report on the project. (Motion carried 5-0) Regarding the undesignated MSA mileage, the City currently can assign up to 0.78 miles of State Aid streets. The City should always try to assign its maximum mileage because then it will receive its maximum maintenance and construction allotments. Comment was solicited from the public as to possible MSA designations. The only public comment received was from three property owners who supported the MSA designation of Kimbro Avenue and 43rd Street, even though they realized that the streets would not be improved until about 1995• Designating this segment would advance the City's goal of eventually paving all of the existing gravel roads. However, the City is presently 0.09 miles short for desigating this segment. With Teal Pass construction in County Road 19B could designate Street by 1987. Estates 3rd Addition contemplating 0.40 miles of street 1985, and Washington County contemplating 1.0 miles of construction in 1986, it is estimated tht the City 43rd Street and Kimbro Avenue as a Municipal State Aid M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - To accept the Engineer's recommendation that 36th Street and Layton Avenue from Laverne Avenue to TH 5 (0.24 miles) be designated as a Municipal State Aid Street, and to instruct the Engineer to prepare the necessary documents to proceed with this designation. (Motion carried 5-0) B. Other The Engineer reviewed his concerns over the subdivision that took place in the Lanes DeMontreville area, without benefit of City approval. A Stephen Grabski who owned Lots 610 thru 620 and Lots 519 thru 527 (and who is included in the 201 Program) has sold Lots 612 thru 615 and 524 thru 527, along with the existing house to a James Marcio. Mr. Grabski sold Lots 610 and 611 to a Mr. Wackerfuss and retained Lots 616 thru 620 and 529 thru 523 for himself. The Engineer further advised the Council that what Mr. Grabski did was in violation of the City Code (Section 301.090B) which states: Contiguous Parcels: If in a group of two or more contiguous lots or parcels of land owned or controlled by the same person, any individual lot or parcel does not meet the full width or area requirements of this Ordinance, such individual lot or parcel cannot be considered as a separate parcel of land for purposes of sale or development, but must be combined with adjacent lots or parcels under the same ownership so that the combination of lots or parcels will equal one or more parcels of land each meeting the full lot width and area requirements of this Ordinance; and City Code (Section 301.090F) which states: No yard or lot shall be reduced in area or dimension so as to make it less than the minimum required by this Ordinance, and if the existing yard or lot is less than the minimum required, it shall not be further reduced. No required yard or lot currently used for a building or dwelling group shall be used to satisfy minimum lot area requirements for any other building.
