LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 15, 1985 PAGE 2 B. Shoreland Permit Application at 8180 Hill Trail N. Applicants: Patty Cole and Stephen Butzer. Applicants Patty Cole and Stephen Butzer propose to construct a garage addition onto an existing attached garage. Since this property abuts Lake DeMontreville, Shoreland Regulations apply. The garage is proposed to be extended from the existing garage toward the street. The City Engineer referred to his correspondence dated October 10, 1985 in which he stated that the only concern was the determination of the front yard setback. It was unclear from the sketch provided if the southwest corner of the garage is to be 34 feet from the right-of-way or from the existing street. Thirty feet is required from the right-of-way. Butzer advised the Council that this garage would still be the longest distance from the road. The consensus of the City Council, based on the information available, determined no variance is required and approved the Shoreland Permit. M/S/P Christ/Mazzara - to grant a shoreland permit to Patty Cole and Stephen Butzer at 8180 Hill Trail N. for the construction of a garage. (Motion carried 4-0). C. Speed Zone Study: Keats Ave. and 20th St. N. On October 9, 1985, a drive -over inspection of Keats Avenue and 20th Street was made by City Engineer Bohrer, City Administrator Overby and with Bruce Hall, Assistant District Traffic Engineer, to discuss the City's concern for speed limits and other safety features. The following observations were made: 1. Keats Avenue a. MnDOT will consider revising their speed zoning from 50 mph to 45 mph mph. They will not consider 40 mph. b.

Could also replace with larger size sign. e. "Yield Ahead" sign - replace with larger size. f. Add the logo type "T" intersection ahead sign in advance of "Yield Ahead" sign. g.
