LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 19, 1990 PAGE 3 B. Shoreland Permit to Reconstruct Existing Boat House Paul Huot, 4955 Jamaca Avenue N. Paul Huot has applied for a shoreland permit to reconstruct and enlarge (by 4 feet) an existing boat house. Molly Shodeen, DNR, reported on 5-30-90 that they have reviewed the proposal to rebuild a boathouse on Lake Jane and have no objection to rebuilding it consistent with the definition of "boat house". Adding a screen porch onto the structure does not fit the definition and no permit should be issued for including a screen porch structure. M/S/P Williams/Armstrong - to grant a shoreland permit to Paul Huot, 4955 Jamaca Avenue N., to reconstruct and enlarge by 4 feet an existing boat house and will remain a boat house and not a screen porch/boat house combination based on no variances are required and on DNR approval. (Motion carried 4-0). Request by Planning Commission member, Ed Stevens: Ed Stevens referred to the Metro Monitor regarding a meeting at the Met Council for expansion of the Lake Elmo Airport. As a resident of Lake Elmo, he is opposed to expanding the airport and plans on attending the meeting in which this will be discussed. He requested a statement from the Council indicating opposition by the City that he could read at the meeting. Councilman Hunt would be available to read this statement indicating the City does not anticipate the growth of heavy industry and an airport in this area would not serve the surrounding communities. 6. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. Street Improvement for 33rd Street & Laverne Avenue Drainage Improvement for Old Village (Continuation) M/S/P Hunt/Williams - to bring back Item 6A. for Council consideration. (Motion carried 4-0). At the June 5th Council meeting, the Council directed the City Administrator to co-ordinate a meeting between Pete Schiltgen, Council members Lee Hunt and Rose Armstrong and Larry Bohrer, to discuss a possible drainage easement agreement. Based on the work on the Old Village Drainage study, Bohrer had concluded that in order to do the type of improvements he feels are necessary, we will have to obtain some type of easement from Mr. Schiltgen. In meeting with Mr. Schiltgen, Councilmembers Hunt and Armstrong became aware that the drainage in the Old Village area was only one factor in the water problem he had. There still was drainage from the airport and the fairground. All three of these together formed a problem that could cause more problems down stream to Downs Lake. Mr. Schiltgen felt the City's drainage plan would only solve one-third of his problem, he still would have two-thirds of the problem that needed to be addressed.
