Councilman Moe: not against RE, 2 1/2 acre concept; need R-1, 1 1/2 acre, lots also. Councilman Hunt: Don't believe we should stimulate residential development; plan large lots and no sewer; believe demand is for 2 1/2 acre, not 1 1/2 acre lots; should pick areas that have more pressure for 2 1/2; we should eliminate R-1 and find areas we can agree on for RE. Councilman Williams: I am not in favor of more R-1; I have concerns about 2 1/2 acre density (may be too dense) if Met Council says okay, fine with me. Would like to see clustering of homes, surrounded by open space; support Chuck's concept of R-1 with open around it. Councilman Graves: Believe if you are trying to prevent sewer look at percable soils; another factor --septic system failures in Tri-Lakes and Old Village. Councilman Moe: Olson/Demontreville area systems are failing; three ways to deal with failing systems; don't believe we should say we are never going to look at sewers any place; what can we do about existing problems; believe we should plan for these areas if systems fail. Councilman Williams: Concerned about groundwater contamination with development. Councilman Graves: Should look at effect of maximumloading of development in Lake Elmo; how do we distribute load of the community. Councilman Williams: Not in favor of rezoning whole city RE. Councilman Graves: Workable solution: I-94 commercial on future land use map, in stage sequence; coordinate with County study; define areas in city to be identified as possible RE area (8 to 10 areas); don't need 5 acre RE; need minimum and maximum size lots in RE; R-1 limited number. Councilman Hunt: Believe we need to study General Business for I-94 corridor. Mayor Dunn: Study residential and commercial and come back. Consensus to set another workshop 6:30 p.m. on May 4th, to further address future land use map/Comp Plan., Adjourn approximately 10:00 p.m.
