LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 1.6, 1990 PAGE 8 Councilman Graves pointed out in the Oakdale Gun Club CUP, Condition (c.) should be clarified "shot gun range to be limited to #6 fine shot or smaller " since a lot of skeet shooting is #7 or 08. Graves noted in the Rockin L Trailer CUP, the Building Official recommended a maximum of 30 llamas be housed on the property at any one time. Lou Anne Hanson responded the llamas were not included under this CUP, just the trailer sales. McNamara clarified the CUP was for the horse trailer sales, but there was a concern a year ago by the Council regarding the number of llamas housed at one time and was asked to come up with a figure. He contacted Dr. Cindy Wolfe, who stated llamas are not grazing animals, they are commercially fed. Therefore, the figure of 30 llamas was picked as an arbitrary figure. Armstrong stated our code requires 10 acres for horses and voiced her concern Lou Anne has 7 acres and 16 llamas, with a possibility of 30 llamas. Armstrong questi.onned what constitutes a feed lot. Lou Anne stated she has a .land contract for adjoining land that the llamas could graze on. The Hanson's are in the process of selling their property and taking the llamas with them. McNamara reported Trans City Invesments have been keeping him up-to-date on any tenant changes. Ray Baber, Leasing Agent, asked if they would be able to use the fenced in area in the back of the building for outside storage. The Council clarified permitting outside storage would require an amendment to their CUP which requires a Public Hearing. M/S/P Armstrong/Graves - to accept the Review on Conditional Use Permits, dated January 11, 1990, by the Building Official. (Motion carried 5-0). B. Future Land Use Map Councilman Williams pointed out on the future land use map changes agreed upon by the Council at their May 1.6, 1989 meeting. Williams brought up for Council consideration changes to some of the areas proposed for RE Zoning 2 1/2 acres to be considered for 5 acres RE Zoning. He would rather proceed cautiously because we haven't experienced this type of development in Lake Elmo before and have to examine the impact this would mean on our City services. Discussion followed on these proposed changes because RE 2 1/2 Zoning was placed on the Future Land Use map based on requests the Council had from interested. parties. No formal application has been made. Councilman Hunt suggested creating in Section 32 an Urban/Office/Commerical type of Future land Use in the MUSA area. Along I-94 Hunt stated he would like the property owners to have an added option of residential if they so chose, but to restrict it to a large parcel of land. Hunt provided a slide presentation showing new housing developments along freeways. There was discussion on the I-94 corridor for the Council to collectively look at the land and find land appropriate for homes and discuss proposed dates for staged development in each area once the ordinances are accepted.
