LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 5, 1987 PAGE 6 926 when everything is in operation. Scotty Lyall's walk -out level is at 928.6 or 2.6 feet higher than the 100 year flood. Scotty said this would be a foot higher than the house. Bohrer suggested that this be a condition of the approval that the minimum elevation should be at least 929 which will be 3 feet about the 100 year flood. This would be consistent with the City Shoreland regulations for elevations. Mayor Christ closed the public hearing at 8:22 p.m. Councilwoman Armstrong felt the neighbor's complaints would be nullified when the trees come up and she will not be able to see the shed. The elevation of 929 feet would be consistent with the Shoreland regulations.
