r LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 3, 1988 PAGE 5 For those streets that he is recommending go to a public hearing for an overlay, Bohrer recommends that this improvement be assessed. These streets are all at least 10 years old since the last bituminous surface. Bohrer explained that when a complete overlay is needed it is no longer a maintenance function, but a reconstruction function. An example given was a new subdivision, 1 1/2 acre lots with 125 foot frontage would be assessed $500 a lot. This would vary by subdivision. Councilman Graves had no objections to sealcoating the streets that were recommended or hold a public hearing on the streets designated in green on the map. He did hesitate to proceed with a financing recommendation-. until we have the public hearing on the overlay areas. He did not want to take the $8000 out of the Patch and Overlay Fund until it has been decided how to fund this overlay. Councilman Graves asked for more information regarding this fund --how much do we normally use every year out of that fund just for patching streets, what will the impact be on the fund if this $8000 is taken out, would it be better to allocate a certain percentage of that fund towards paying for that overlay. Bohrer explained that the Patch and Overlay Fund is used to do the interim street repair between the 6 year sealcoat intervals and gave figures of the fund in past years. M/S/P Graves/Moe - to submit to Washington County the 1988 sealcoating progrm map which Larry Bohrer has defined these streets in red. (Motion carried 4-0). M/S/P Graves/Moe - to hold a public hearing on the streets colored in green which are designated for an overlay per Larry Bohrer's map and to consider the financing after a public hearing has been held on the overlay. (Motion carried 4-0). 10. Variance Appeal--Williams/Mastro Frank Mastro from Mastro Construction asked that this variance appeal be delayed until there was a full Council and he was waiting for some new information. Frank Wald respresented the Orloffs at 5071 Hilltop, objected to the variance request because this new home would be much higher than the ramblers on each side and would look out of place in this neighborhood. Also the Orloff's would no longer be able to see the lake. The Council asked that the Orloff's write their objections/comments in a letter for the May 17th Council meeting. 11. Residential Estates (Planning Commission) A sub -committee of the Planning Commission had a special workshop on Monday, May 2nd, for review of this proposed zoning district. This ( proposal will be brought before the Planning Commission at their May 9th meeting for a recommendation.
