LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 3, 1987 PAGE 5 The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council not approve the final plat until the water problems are discussed or residents and developer have met with the City and the Valley Branch Watershed District and an agreement has been reached; also that the 24th Street cul-de-sac is longer than the 800 foot maximum that is allowed by City Code and that the Developer has stated his intention to not run the road thru the proposed 3rd Addition with the current Rural Residential zoning and that there is no request for rezoning to R-1 at this time for the proposed 3rd Addition. M/S/ Graves/Moe - to adopt Resolution 87- approving the Final Plat for Packard Park 2nd Addition, contingent upon meeting the conditions specified in the City Engineer's letter of 10-22-87, providing a letter of credit and an acceptable Developer's Agreement, and payment of park dedication fees and pass thru costs. Jean Durand questioned the legality of the proposed pipe and asked what was the elevation of the outlet pipe to the pond. Another question was asked if it would be possible to turn the pipe instead of the water running onto Durand's proerty. Because of ponding concerns from the public that need to be addressed and more information that will be received from the VBWD meeting and the City Engineer's review of the engineering plans and specification, it was decided to table discussion until the December 1st meeting. M/S/P Johnson/Armstrong - to table action on Packard Park Final Plat until the December 1st meeting to allow time for the City Engineer to review construction plans for the holding pond and information from the VBWD meeting. (Motion carried 4-1<Moe>). C. PUBLIC HEARING: Request for Shoreland Permit with Variances, 8126 Hill Trail N. Mayor Christ opened up the public hearing at 8:50 p.m. in the City Council chambers. Joseph and Donna Hinrichs wish to purchase Lots 519 thru 523, and lots 616 thru 620 in Lane's DeMontreville Country Club Addition. The property is located at 8126 Hill Trail N. The applicants want to build a new house on the property. The property is located next to Lake DeMontreville; therefore the Shoreland District regulations apply. Several variances are necessary in order to allow a building permit for a new home and septic system: lot size variance, lot width variance, structure setback from normal high water mark variance, and setback for structure from public road variance and septic drainfield sites. The DNR hydrologist commented to the City Staff on 10-29-87 that the DNR is opposed to giving the variance for the structure setback from the high water mark (as proposed in Plan B). The DNR suggests that the proposed house remodeling -expansion plan be redrawn so that no variances are necessary. The DNR wants to see the septic/soils
