LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 5, 1988 PAGE 9 C. Shoreland Permit to Allow Placement of Fill, Gene Peltier Gene Peltier has applied for a Shoreland Permit to allow filling on his land land located west of Packard Park 2nd Addition. This area is just east of Lake Elmo Avenue and within 1000 feet of Elmo Lake, therefore, Shoreland Regulations apply. There will be excess excavation left over from the pond sconstruction for Packard Park 2nd Addition and Mr. Peltier desires to dispose of it on his own property. The area of proposed filling has been shown as Packard Park 3rd Addition. Bohrer added that in concept plan however, the consideration of this fill permit does not in anyway imply City approval of the concept plan. The City Council reviewed the Engineers report dated December 30, 1987. Sincere there were no variances involved in the proposed work, the City Council approved the Shoreland Permit, conditioned upon the two recommendations in the Engineer's December 30th report. 1. Hay bale dikes or silt fence be erected on the west side of the fill area to prevent soil from washing onto Lake Elmo Avenue. 2. The fill areas be seeded as soon as weather permits in the spring. M/S/P Graves/Moe - to approve the Shoreland Permit and fill permit to allow Gene Peltier to place fill on two areas of his property located in the SW 1/4 of Section 24 contingent upon the two recommendations in the City Engineer's December 30th report. (Motion carried 4-0). D. New contract with TKDA City Engineer Bohrer had submitted a new contract for the City Council's consideration. The existing contract has been in effect since February 1979. Points of discussion were the new salary multiplier, the payment of interest on unpaid account, and the lump sum meeting attendance. The City Council was concerned that the increase in the Engineer's rate will adversely affect the budget that has already been approved for 1988; therefore, they directed the Finance Director to return to the next Council meeting with a breakdown in the general engineering bills for 1988, itemized according to pass -through costs and direct City costs. M/S/P Johnson/Moe - to table the new TKDA Contract until the January 19, 1988 City Council meeting for a breakdown in the engineering bills for 1988 from the Finance Director. (Motion carried 4-0). E. Escrow Reduction for Lake Elmo Heights and Lake Jane Highlands City Engineer Bohrer reported that all of the escrow for these improvements had previously beuNreleased, except for $500 to insure completion of seedingcmd cleanup. This work has now been completed and Bohrer recommended that the Council accepts the improvements and release the remaining $500 escrow.
