LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 20, 1986 PAGE 2 City Administrator Overby stated that the City has a shoreland ordinance application from Mr. McCollar, but it was not put on the agenda because the staff is not finished reviewing it. Jim McNamara added that there would be a variance needed from lot size, from the lot width setback and a shoreland variance. Because this requires 10 days notice for a public hearing, this will be scheduled for the June 17th City Council meeting. City Attorney Knaak responded that he would be happy to answer any code questions that Mr. McCollar would raise. 5. Jaycees; Huff N'Puff Days Kathy Hemen and Terry Mazzara from the Lake Elmo Jaycees appeared before the Council to discuss the plans for the Huff n' Puff's loth Anniversary celebration August 13-17, 1986. Activities will include a water show put on by the Bald Eagle Water Ski Club, softball, tennis and cribbage tournaments, junior olympics, hot air balloon tether rides, homerun derby, horseshoes, volley ball tournaments, an outdoor dance, 10K race at the Regional Park, kids games, golf, and a week long treasure hunt. M/S/P Morgan/Christ - to adopt Resolution 86-33 acknowledging Huff n'Puff's loth Anniversary celebration from August 13-17, 1986 and the signficant contribution that the Lake Elmo Jaycees have made to the City of Lake Elmo. (Motion carried 5-0). 6. Speeding Problem on 36th Street - Petition for Speed Zone Study Richard Quinn of 8929 36th Street N. presented a petition to the City Council requesting that the speed limit on 36th Street be lowered to 20 mph. The traffic -safety problem concerns drivers who exceed the statutory speed of 30 mph and also the physical conditions of the street (poor visibility) both of which could lead to an injury or fatality while children are crossing or walking along this street. City Engineer Bohrer advised the Council that the City has the authority over the cautionary signs, but does not have authority over the speed limit signs. Bohrer recommended that with the Council's approval the City would take care of the advisory type signs and would make a request to Mn/DOT for a speed zone study. M/S/P Christ/Morgan - to instruct the City staff to erect "caution" signs along 36th street while City Engineer Bohrer will proceed with a request to Mn/DOT for a speed zone study and indicate their preference of 20 mph. (Motion carried 5-0).
