LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES September 17, 1985 Page 2 B. Public Hearing for variance for lot size and final plat approval for Clapp/Thommsen (Lake Elmo Heights) in Section 21 south of CSAH 6. Pursuant to published notice, this public hearing was called to order at 7:35 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. City Engineer Bohrer reported that since the report of the Valley Branch Watershed District approving this plat has not been received, only the lot size variance should be considered at this time. The applicants are requesting a variance from the maximum lot size allowed in a cluster development in the RR zone for three lots. Currently the City Standards require a maximum lot size of two acres. Lots 1, 4 and 5 exceed the two acre maximum lot size. The applicant has stated that, due to the presence of wet soils, it was necessary to increase the lot size to obtain sufficient suitable soils for building site and drainfield construction. M/S/P Dunn/Mazzara - to grant the lot size variances for lots 1, 4 and 5 due to the hardship of the wet soils that are present. (Motion carried 5-0). C. Final Plat for Midland Meadows on 10th Street North. Approximately 1/4 mile west of Lake Elmo Avenue. Bohrer has reviewed the final plat and finds that it comforms to the approved preliminary plat and to comments received from Washington County Public Works and Valley Branch Watershed District. Since there will be no Developer's Agreement for this subdivision, Bohrer recommends the final plat be approved but that the City not sign the documents until the following items are completed: 1. Common driveways be constructed on the County rights -of -way. 2. Fill be placed on Lot 7 as indicated on the Drainage Plan. 3. 15" diameter equalizer culverts be placed wherever a driveway bisects a drainage easement. This occurs on Lots 3, 10 and 11. M/S/P Christ/Morgan - to adopt Resolution 85-33 approving the final plat for Midland Meadows on loth St. North contingent upon the developer completing the three conditions listed by Larry Bohrer in his letter dated September 17, 1985 and contingent upon the developer paying park donation fees of $250 per lot. (Motion carried 5-0). D. Rezoning from RR to R1 in Section 24 off of Legion Avenue. Applicant: Gene Peltier.
