LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL, MINUTES FEBRUARY 6, I.990 PAGE 6 will be included in the plan. His comments are noted in his letter dated February 6, 1990, to the City Council. For Council consideration, Councilman Williams handed out a proposed Future Land Use Map showing less RE (2.5 acre) zoning. Williams proposed this map be taken to the Public Hearing as our Future Land Use Map. Fie explained now our overall density is 5.47 acres per house. The PZ map shows extensive RE (2.5 acres) which would bring the average lot size down to 2.6 acres per house. (The Met Council has indicated they would like 10 acres average for an unsewered area). The map presented by Councilman Williams would bring the average to approx. 3 to 3.5 acres per house. The Planning Commission will review this Future Land Use Map at their February 12th meeting. The Council set up a Comprehensive Plan Workshop --Future Land Use Map with Planner, Mike Black, for Tuesday, February 13th at 7:00 p.m. in City Hall. 7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: A.

Add: PF and P Zoning Districts to the already stated GB, HB or CB Zoning Districts. In. the last sentence of the paragraph wording was added:.... sewage flow will exceed 3600 gallons per day, as determined by the City Engineer, suitability..... Item 3. was deleted.
