LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 2, 1989 PAGE 7 The concept plan of The Forest needs a simple majority of the Council, therefore, Mayor Dunn made the following motion: M/No Second/ Dunn/ - resolved that the concept plan of The Forest is hereby approved in accordance with the recommendations of the Planning Commission Without an agreement on RE on where it should go in the City, Councilman Williams stated we should not approve the concept of The Forest. He was willing to approve a Future Land Use Map, right now, that shows where RE should go and leaving the southern most quarter of a mile strip along I-94 unchanged from what it is now with the understanding that when the Washington County Task Force comes thru with their recommendations that we would, at that time, reconsider that strip and make appropriate changes. When Bruce Folz was asked if he would like this postponed until the next Council meeting, Folz responded it might as well be postponed until there is a full council because rezoning requires a 4/5th vote.

His concern were for the citizens that live on other shores of the lake. The Mayor and some Councilmembers felt the sub -committee composed of citizens, members of the Parks Commission and Washington County Parks and Sheriff's Dept, and the Olympic Festival, were aware of these concerns and had the expertise to address them.
