LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 20, 1990 PAGE 5 SECTION 32 FUTURE LAND USE MAP; l As this map is being prepared, Councilman Hunt suggested creation of an Urban Office/Commercial Zoning District for Section 32. (Urban qualifies an area that has sewer availability which can have denser development.) Hunt asked if there was a consensus of the Council for this area to be shown on the Future Land Use Map as Urban Office/Commercial. The PZ would develop an ordinance that would be similar to the Freeway Business Ord. Councilman Graves indicated, he has stated many times before, that this area should be more highly developed than it has been proposed in the past. He thought Urban Office/Commercial was an appropriate use for this area. Councilman Williams suggested bringing this Future Land Use Map showing this Urban Office/Commercial Zoning for the entire MUSA area in Section 32 to the Public Hearing. Councilwoman Armstrong stated the Section 32 landowners were a crucial part of designing the present Future Land Use Map. As long as there is a public hearing, these landowners can be a part of it. Larry Bohrer pointed out the Section line goes a little bit East of Ideal Avenue so it takes in a few of the lots just barely in Section 33. He asked what the Council's thoughts were for this area (around the one block bounded by Ideal on the West and Guardian Angels Drive on the East that contain the existing neighborhood around 1st and Immanuel street.) The Council considered this could be left as Residential. 8. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: A. Street Light Request at CSAH 10 & 19 The City received a letter from Larry Bousquet, Traffic & Maintenance Engineer for Wash. Cty., regarding requests for street lights at the above referenced intersection. As the letter states, the County's policy for installation of street lights is that they will. install the street lights if the city will agree to pay the ongoing power costs. Their proposal is to put up two 400 watt mercury vapor lights, one at the northwest corner and the other at the southeast corner. Mayor Dunn had talked to Larry Bousquet, who stated the large warning signs and bumper strips on the pavement have been a detriment to accidents. The County is considering a deflector system on the pavement to delinate the two roads with a possible post or two and planting of trees on the park land this summer. They do not _feel that a light is necessary at this time. The Council decided not to take any action at this time. When these future improvements are done, the Council would look at the intersection and determine if a street light is necessary. One councilmember suggested the gg possibility of "Do Not Enter" signs on both sides of the north bound lanes.
