LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 15, 1988 PAGE 5 ( The Administrator contacted other communities such as; Stillwater, Maplewood, Woodbury, Eagan and found these communities view this type of facility as an essential public service which is necessarily a part of their basic community needs. The Administrator recommended that the Code be amended to incorporate this type of building as a permitted use in all districts, but with provision of site plan review by the Planning Commission and City Council. Councilman Johnson had suggested that impervious service, Landscape and architectual standards be considered as in the General Business District. Councilwoman Armstrong was unhappy with a lease situation involving the NWB building and Apostolic Bible Church. Rose suggested approval by the CUP process should be considered. The surrounding property owners would be notified and a public hearing will be scheduled. With a Site Plan Review the surrounding property owners do not have to be notified. M/S/P Graves/Moe - resolved that the City Attorney and Administrator are hereby directed to draft an amendment to Section 301.130, of the City Code and to include a provision for approval of a Public Service Building by the CUP process in the ordinance, in accordance with the recommendations of the City Administrator, and to be reviewed by the Planning Commission.
