LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 21, 1986 PAGE 7 are approximately 37 restorations, but none are residents in Lake Elmo. Mayor Morgan - On a cul-de-sac where no one desires cable, does the commission have the right to put it in. Eder replied that the commission requires that every person had. to be provided possible access to cable. Mr. Eder is serving on the Verification Committee that verifies if the system is complete and how well it measures up to the standards they had proposed in their proposal. They had proposed an audio van, but found out there are too many interferences to transmit. These things will be negotiated out in the next thirty days. A written report will follow and be sent to the City. In a future meeting Dave Garloff could come and advise the City on long range plans on the future of the relationship of municipalities to cable. You would be advised as to how you could use the municipal system such as warning notices, meeting notices and religious and institution access. Funds and grants could be given to cities to encourage them to use the system. Mayor Morgan handed Maynard Eder a gift and a plaque thanking him for his service to the City from January 1981 to December of 1984. B. Office Site Analysis Report - Larry Bohrer City Engineer Bohrer advised that a preliminary review of available data was made on a 50 acre site for the possible construction of a new City Office. The site is bounded on the south bu TH 5, on the southeast by Stillwater Lane, on the east by the Sunfish Park Entrance, and on the north by Sunfish park land. The site is well drained and contains two low spots which could be used to satisfy any ponding requirements. The Washington County Soil Survey lists most of the site soils as having only slight limitations for drainfield purposes because they are predominantly sandy. The only areas unsuited for drainfields would be the ridge in the northeast corner because of steep slopes, and the two low areas. The Soil Survey lists the subsoils as being predominantly sands; therefore they should be suitable for building foundations. Heavier topsoils will have to be removed in the area of driveways and parking lots to eliminate frost heave problems. Water must be supplied by an individual well. This site is 1/4 to 1/2 mile southeast of the Landfill Well Advisory Area. Access could be gained on Highway 5, Stillwater Lane or the Park Entrance. Access would most likely come off the Park road. Bohrer stated that the site is generally suited to development with no severe limitations.
