LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 2, 1985 PAGE 3 proposed changes have to include reasonable standard proof that a ( variance would not adversely affect among other things the safety and health of surrounding properties. Especially when dealing with a sewage situation the first thing to be considered is the health factor, but it's the landowners seeking the variance that has thefull burden before the council. (I/ 6. Public Hearing - I-94 Overlay and Comp. Plan Amendment. Pursuant to published notice, this public hearing was opened at 7:45 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. Rob Chelseth referred to his memo dated January 21, 1985 to the Planning Commission and City Council. There will be two districts. An interim district along I-94 (eastern Section 33 east to County Road 15) and this district would permit interim uses, those are uses not served by public sewer and water that demand negligible increases in public services, and a "long term" area that would permit more intensive uses consisted in the comprehensive pl�n. It's an overlay district and is a means of monitoring the types of uses that go in there and grant them conditional use permits. Each of the two districts has approximately twelve standards that would be applied by the City Council when they are considering a conditional use permit. M/S/P Morgan/Armstrong - To adopt Ordinance Elmo City Ordinance, The Comprehensive Plan include an "Overlay District" as outlined in of 1-21-85. (Motion carried 5-0) 7. City Engineer's Report A. Landfill Water System Update 7971 amending the Lake and the Zoning Map to the City Planner's memo There was some concern over the lack of progress on resolving the public water supply issues around the old landfill. The City Engineer has written a letter to provide the sequence of events from the joint meeting of the County Boards up to the present and to provide all past correspondence on the matter. The two remaining issues to be resolved are Operation and Maintenance Costs and System Design. One thing to note is that the tests of the wells have been getting better. Formally, there were four residential wells that exceeded health criteria for drinking water and that has been reduced to only one that is in the health risk criteria. The purpose of the water supply is two -fold, first, to provide safe water for all needs and, secondly, to restore the property values. The advisory committee determined that only a public water supply would do both. Mayor Morgan would like to invite the County Commissioners and any interested parties in for the next meeting, and Larry Bohrer will make sure they have all the appropriate correspondence. B. Public Hearing for variances requested by Ed Ryan at 4384 Kimbro Avenue North. Pursuant to published notice, this public hearing opened at 8:46 p.m. in the City Council Chambers.
