LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 1, 1987 PAGE 5 Mayor Christ stated he would give his approval for the shoreland permit and fill request because the application would not be more non -conforming, but contingent on the DNR's approval. Councilman Graves would be in favor of approving the shoreland permit and fill request; contingent on DNR approval in order to speed up the process. Councilman Johnson wished to indicate to the DNR that he heartily approved, but had two concerns: quality of fill and the conditions of the footings on the house. Twin City Testing reported that the footings were adequate. Councilwoman Armstrong applauded the Keanes for raising their home, but suggested holding off until they heard from the DNR. M/S/P Graves/Johnson - to grant the request for a variance to the setback from Normal Ordinary High Water Mark on the Lake and variance to allow the fact that filling within the Floodplain to David and Nancy Keane based on this application does not increase the non -conformity; all contingent on the approval of this variance action by the DNR. (Motion carried 4-1<Armstrong>) M/S/P Graves/Moe - to grant a shoreland permit to David and Nancy Keane for the proposed work; contingent on approval of this action by the DNR, placement of virgin fill to be verified by the Building Official and erection of a silt fence. (Motion carried 4-1<Armstrong: Keanes have a good idea, but felt they should wait for the DNR comments>). C. Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment & Approval of Mixed -Use PUD Concept Plan -Federal Land Company M/S/P Graves/Armstrong - to take off the table the request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Approval of Mixed -Use PUD Concept Plan by Federal Land Company. (Motion carried 5-0). Mr. Bartholdi made a presentation on the request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and on the PUD General Concept Plan at the August 4, 1987 City Council meeting. He had no further comments at this meeting. Although Phase I of the project was first brought before the Council in October 1980 while the highway overlay district was in existence, it was tabled at that time. City Attorney Knaak told the council that the PUD must now be reviewed under the 1986 revised Comprehensive Plan. An amendment to the 1986 Comprehensive Plan would be necessary to grant approval. Steve DeLapp, Chairman of the Planning Commission, pointed out that it was stated by Federal Land that 165,000 cars are going past that intersection in a day. DeLapp called the MN Dept. of Transportation and found that there were 40,000 cars that go past Intersection 19 which makes a 4-1 difference in volume.
