LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 6, 1985 Page 2 Pond. Bohrer answered that the 509 will not provide any direct relief for Legion Pond. In other words, there will be no pipes coming out of Legion Pond into this downstream system that the Watershed District is going to construct because they consider the Legion Pond situation a local concern not a district -wide concern, whereas, the other chain of lakes the water comes from or goes through more than one community. The City did request that any downstream pipe or channel down from Lake Elmo be sized that conceivably in the future we could put Legion Pond water in there. Paula Green asked if anything will be done this summer and was answered that the 509 Program will not be on -going this summer. 5. City Engineer's Report A. Public Hearing -Russell Anderson, 4891 Olson Lake Trail for variance to code and Shoreland Permit. Pursuant to published notice, this public hearing was called to order by Mayor Morgan at 7:45 p.m. in the'Council chambers. Mr. Russell Anderson is proposing two improvements to his home at 4891 Olson Lake Trail. Firstly, he would like to replace his failing drywell with a drainfield, and secondly, he would like to construct a detached two car garage. Shoreland regulations apply and variances are requested for the garage setback. Mr. Anderson feels that the hardship was that there is an existing stone retaining wall and walkway, etc. that would prevent the garage from being placed closer to the home. Mr. Anderson has a statement from his neighbor, Neil Wales, to the south who would be directly affected stating that they would have no problem with this variance. City Engineer Bohrer recommended issuing a shoreland permit for the septic system improvements in accordance with our revised size computations and septic tank recommendations previously given. Actual pert tests must be conducted on the lot if not previously done. If a side yard setback variance is granted, it should be conditioned that the south property line be established by a land surveyor or other qualified person to the satisfaction of the building inspector and that no part of the garage, including eaves, be closer than the setback allowed by the variance. M/S/P Morgan/Armstrong - to grant a shoreland permit and a side yard setback to Russell Anderson at 4891 Olson Lake Trail for a garage of no less than 5 feet from the lot line and conform to the recommendations of the City Engineer stated in his 8/6/85 letter. (Motion carried 5-0). B. Large Lot Subdivision for Gordon and Betty Lundholm, 2737 Lake Elmo Avenue N.
