VBWD FLOODPROOFING PROGRAM The City Administrator distributed a letter received from VBWD stating it is considering implementing a floodproofing program which was included in their approved 509 surface water management plan. The VBWD Managers are attempting to formulate a cost-effective process for making grants to individual homeowners for improvments which meet VBWD requirements.

At the June 7 meeting, the council held a public hearing on an application for a variance to the number of accessory structures in an Rl zone. The applicant had an existing 216 square foot structure, and wanted to add a 576 square foot garage. The applicant advised the staff that he will comply with the council's request to use only a portion of the existing structure by constructing an interior wall and blocking off a portion of this building so it cannot be used, thereby negating the need for a variance. Graves/Moe - To grant a Shoreland Permit to Richard Traverse, 2151 Lake Elmo Avenue for the construction of a 576 square foot garage. Motion carried 4-0. 11C NEWSLETTER The City Administrator advised the council that the City's newsletter has, in the past been written on a bi-monthly basis.

The consensus of the council was to approve this recommendation. Graves/Moe To adjourn the meeting; time 10:35 p.m. Motion carried 4-0.
