LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 3-5-85 PAGE 5 Jim Friedrich, adjacent property owner stated that the proposed width of the road affects the 6 to 8 pine trees that he planted (that are now 25 to 30 feet high) along the easement that he gave Mr. Kaiser to get into his property, and would prefer not to have to cut these trees down. However, if the trees are a problem and ad 18 foot road could not be granted to Mr. Kaiser he would not want to hold up the road that Mr. Kaiser is proposing and would not object to the 22 foot road. There were no other residents present to offer comments for or against this proposal and the public hearing was closed at 7:43 p.m. The Engineer stated his concern is the length of the private road. The total length of Mr. Kaiser's driveway or road would be about 850'. The total length that Mr. Friedrich would have to travel across Mr. Kaiser's property, and then across the easement that Mr. Kaiser granted is a total of 1350 feet. Morgan stated that it is a long driveway, but there are a lot of farm homes and rural homes that have driveways of that magnitude. If someone is courageous enough to build a house that far off of a road on a private driveway, so be it. *M/S/P (amended at 3-19-85 City Council meeting) Morgan/Christ - To adopt Resolution 85-5 granting a road frontage variance to Joseph E. Kaiser for a 22 foot wide private access road and an 18 foot wide private driveway and turnaround, on the property described by metes and bounds (see 37015-4305 in tax book) subject to the conditions as recommended by the City Engineer: Entering into a developer's agreement with the City of LakeElmo stipulating that the existing 33' wide easement from 31st Street east to the west line of the Kaiser property shall be deeded to the City; a 30' wide easement for access purposes shall be provided along the north line of the Kaiser property from a point approximately 450' east of 31st street to the east line of the Kaiser property and along the enire east line of the Kaiser property; and that this street be constructed and maintained by the applicant. (Motion carried 5-0) B. Animal Inn CUP amendment, application by Charles Anderson for the construction of a 507 x 136' dog training building.

The interior of the building will be completely finished. There could be two dog training classes held at one time which would mean about thirty-five dogs, all which will be under control.
