LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 20, 1989 PAGE 4 '( Councilman Hunt brought up his concern on potential future stripping of the topsoil. Linder responded they are taking topsoil off of where they are constructing structures because it would be a waste to lose that topsoil. The type of soil they are bringing in is from swamp bogs and only available in infrequent points. Consequently when the soil becomes available, they have to buy it as a 10 year supply. MIS/ Graves/Hunt - resolved that the City Council hereby approves the application of Linder Greenhouse, Inc., for an Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit to the original Conditional Use Permit, dated July 19, 1988 (Resolution No. 88-32) which amendment completes Stage 1 development of the greenhouse. M/No Second Williams/ - to amend the motion to include that granting of this amendment in no way implies approval of future expansion. M/S/P Graves/Hunt - resolved that the City Council hereby approves the application of Linder Greenhouse, Inc., for an Amendment to the Conditional Use Permit to the original Conditional Use Permit, dated July 19, 1988 (Resolution No. 88-32), which Amendment completes Stage 1 development of the greenhouse. (Motion carried 3-1: Williams - Every time we amend this.C.U.P, we are setting precedent for ultimate development on a scale they have and feels it is too much development). D. Large Lot Subdivision: Apostolic Church At the May 2, 1989 meeting, the Council, tabled consideration of this large lot subdivision until soil tests were provided, as recommended by the City Engineer.
