LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 1, 1987 PAGE 8 M/S/P Graves/Moe - to adopt Resolution 87-48 granting final plat approval to Lake Jane Highlands; contingent upon the applicant conforming to the recommendations of the City Engineer, which may include, but not be limited to applicant entering into a developer's agreement with the City, park dedication fee in the amount of $250 per lot. (Motion carried 4-1<Johnson: has a problem with the street situation and is open for suggestions as to what can be done>). The City Administrator and City Attorney will proceed with changes of the ordinance for word change from "approved" to "reviewed" for Final Plats by the Planning Commission. F. Preliminary Plat --Packard Park 2nd Addition M/S/P Graves/Moe - to take off the table the Preliminary Plat --Packard Park 2nd Addition. (Motion carried 5-0). This Preliminary Plat was discussed at the August 8, 1987 City Council meeting. The City staff advised the City Council that the proposed subdivision meets all City code requirements. Residents from the Eden Park/Legion Avenue neighborhood were present to comment on their existing high water problem with the pond behind the homes on Legion Avenue. The City Engineer was directed to "make an assessment" of the water problem on Legion Avenue /Eden Park Pond and report back to the City Council. On September 1, 1987 City Engineer Bohrer made a field inspection to determine the elevations of the lowest structures along the west sde of Eden Park Pond. In his report dated September 1, 1987 to the City Council Bohrer has attached a table which shows the results of the investigation. Bohrer believed the biggest threat to Eden Park homeowners will not be from Packard Park run-off, but rather from nearby Downs Lake. That lake has a 100 year flood level of 894 which was calculated by the VBWD. Ann Bucheck, 2301 Legion Avenue N., spoke for the adjoining landowners who believe the preliminary plat for Packard Park should be denied. See Appendix A. Linda Voge, 2257 Legion Avenue, pointed out that she was told by the VBWD that she was prohibited from going on the 509 Plan. The City Engineer will look into VBWD including Downs Lake in their 509 Plan. M/S/P Moe/Graves - to approve the preliminary plat for Packard Park 2nd addition, subject to the City Engineer's conditions as listed in his letter of 8-7-87. (Motion carried 4-1<Armstrong: the cul-de-sac is not the proper length, the entire property has not been rezoned as yet, and the ponding should be on the proposal before them>).
