LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 18, 1989 PAGE 3 for disposing of their litter. After this, we will ask them to dispose of this litter at their own expense and the City intends to attach any fees, for clean-up of their property, to their property taxes. Councilman Hunt also suggested the City address in the Newsletter on how to dispose of large objects, recycling info, and once a year drop off where the City charges a small fee similar to Clean -Up days. This might control some of the dumping within the City. In order to take care of the refuse generated from outside of the City, we can ask the cooperation of the surrounding cities, Wash. County Sheriff, and the Highway Patrol to be aware of trucks or trailers that are carrying refuse in the City. 6. PLANNING/LAND USE/ZONING: A. Comprehensive Plan Report: Dick Johnson Dick Johnson reported that at the last PZ meeting comments were made as to what should go into the plan. Johnson felt he was in a position now where he needed direction from the Council. The plan as it now exists, with some of the modifications that were recommended, some minor changes with regard to goals and policies, typographical or grammatical errors, can be handled by the PZ and the Subcommittee. If there are to be major changes in the Goals and Policies, such as including RE Zoning, Johnson recommended using a professional planner. Councilman Graves stated the Plan provides a good basis to start making alterations. Up until two weeks ago there was nothing in writing, in one place, and felt this would be more representative of a planning document. As he stated at the Joint Meeting, Graves indicated the Plan does present good info but was disappointed in no long range planning, beyond year 1991. Councilman Hunt felt the Council will have to look for a compromise document that would take the overall goals and needs of the City into account. By the direction of the CC, the PZ, despite their objections, updated the numbers and adopted the current zoning map as the Future Land Use Map. With the inclusion of Residential Estates, Hunt felt this plan would get the city moving and addressing some of the future problems seen over the next two years. He would not be in favor of hiring a planner, without having the 1990 census, to find out how close we are to our projections. Hunt would be in favor of the PZ continuing with integrating this into the Plan. Commissioner Johnson stated the PZ has approved a RE map as a plan for RE, but believes there is a lot more to do than just inserting this map into the Comp Plan. Hunt responded that this is what we paid the planner for. The RE Future Land Use Map, which was reviewed by the PZ, draft ordinances with comments on the philosophy that was in the PZ original document, show how they should not be in the actual zoning ordinances, but where it should be in our ordinances. Using that particular document, modified by our PZ, could be the map we need. Admin. Morrison advised the Council that the RE map, which was presented
