LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 16, 1985 Page 2 inquired about the possibility of rezoning the proposed golf course property to "open space". In this way he hopes to receive a real estate tax break. Bruce Folz will be doing the planning. There will be fifty-six 1 112 acre lots, seven 20-acre lots, six 5-acres or more and one with about three acres. There will be a short exec course of par 60 or 62 on the north side and a regulation course of par 72 on the southside which will make this approximately 360 acres of golf course on both sides of the road.

The next step would be for Mr. Emerson to prepare a preliminary plat and present that to the Planning Commission. 6. Nancy Prince and Sue Ayde (from Bellaire Sanitation) on recycling.

Prince stated that only Bellaire Sanitation, of all the haulers solicited within the City, was interested to pick up recyclables. It was suggested by Prince to enter into a contract with Bellaire. The pickup will be the third Saturday of the month, from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. Prince will leave it up to Bellaire as to what to pick up unless the City has some suggestions. Bellaire will recycle all glass that is green, clear and brown, newsprint, cardboard, and metal and aluminum cans. The site requested was the VFW parking lot, and this site will not be approved until the VFW has its next meeting. There will be no cost to the City for this service, but there will be no payment made to residents for turning in the recyclables either. Prince plans to educate the residents about this service by having a
