LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 18, 1989 PAGE 3 Linda Besk, realtor representing Laura Buggert, has made application for a 10 acre Large Lot Subdivision from a 110 acre tract of property zoned Rural Residential. The Planning Commission recommended, unanimously, that the Council grant this large -lot subdivision. Linda Beak stated they are in the process of rectifying an encroachment problem with the Smith property and would not have a problem providing a Certificate of Survey because they are required to have a survey at the closing on Friday. M/S/P Hunt/Williams - to instruct the staff to prepare a resolution granting a 10-acre large lot subdivision to Modernistic Die/Laura Buggert based on aright -of -way dedication for Lake Elmo Avenue, submission of certificate of survey, and based on the applicant paying a park dedication fee of $450 for the newly created lot. (Motion carried 5=0). B. Architectural Standards The staff prepared suggested architectural standards for the business district within the city. The Planning Commission received these recommendations at their meeting of June 26th and accepted them with some .additions. The Commission recommended that the standards be quantified for nuisance type operations. The Administrator asked if the Council wanted to have these standards set out in the code or referred to by MPCA Regulations. City Attorney Knaak suggested these standards be set in the Zoning Code and in the Nuisance Section. Planning Commission member, Ed Stevens advised the Council the PZ did not specifically state to submit, or don't submit the standards to the Council. It was his understanding that the PZ would want to review the complete text. The Council postponed action and requested the PZ continue on working with the City Administrator's recommendations. C. Future Park Needs A summary of future parks needs, as proposed by Nancy Hansen and Wyn John, was provided for Council consideration. The Parks Commission did not site specific parcels of land to be set aside, but instead determined it more appropriate to identify general areas. Some of the Councilmembers noted these points were good general concepts, but would like more specifics for identifying specific guidelines. The Council requested they break the Future Land Use Map into specific sections and identify potential park sites. Williams suggested looking at how a developer's plan would coincide with the next developer's plan, so if there is land inbetween that would make good park land, then we can make sure both of them contribute to the same parcel to increase the size. The recommendations should be brought to the Parks Commission for their approval.
