LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 21, 1990 PAGE 6 Mr. Acree volunteered his services to take his letter and go with the City Administrator to Larry Bousquet and discuss each traffic hazard and eliminate items he cannot control. Acree wished to be contacted for any meetings and copied on all correspondence that deals with issue. The City Administrator will work with Mr. Acree and, Larry Bousquet and report back to the Council when the speed study is completed by MnDOT the first meeting of October or before. B. Comprehensive Plan Recommendation from Planning Commission Steve DeLapp, PZ Chair, presented the City Council the Planning Commission's recommended 1990 Comprehensive plan which is a summation of 5 years of work by the PZ, City Council and residents of our City. He noted the plan has some minor recommendations derived by the public hearing and technical comments from the Met Council's preliminary review. DeLapp recommended the City Council adopt the plan with the slight amendments and staff be authorized to make any minor non -policy housekeeping corrections before the final printing and distribution. Chairman DeLapp thanked Mary Kueffner for accepting the Mayor's charge for getting the job done, Planner Mike Black for respecting and caring for our City's values and putting together the ideas of many people into a single cohesive plan. He thanked the City Council for many hours of their personal consideration that led to this result. The Council reviewed Mike Black's comments addressing the major issues identifed by the Metropolitan Council in their letter dated. June 27, 1990. The Council asked for verification of "pipe has a flowing full capacity of 2.15 MGD" and deletion of word "contiguous" to read as follows: "one acre of land suitable for an on site...". The Council also reviewed and concurred with the PZ motions (PZ meeting 7-9-90) addressing the individual requests made at the Public Hearing for changes in the Future Land Use Map. In regard to the PZ recommendation to amend the Future Land Use Map as it relates to land use along the freeway, (Limited Business Dist. W of Cty Rd. 19 to a 1/4 mile E of Cty Road 19 with the 1/2 mile bulge around Cty Rd 19 interchange and back 1/4 mile N along the Freeway), Williams favored bringing the east limit of Limited Business Dist. back to a 1/4 E of Cty Rd 19 because it would be more consistent with Woodbury's plan to the South. He did not agree with extension of this land use category for 1/2 mile N of Freeway around Cty. Road 19. Councilman Graves preferred seeing the 1/4 mile bulge to extend 1/2 mile N of Freeway and 1/4 mile on either side of Cty Road 19, but would support the Comp Plan. Councilwoman Armstrong felt the area covered by the Limited Business Dist would be more than adequate and would wait to see what comes in before we extend this land use further. A draft ordinance adopting the 1990 Comp Plan on a six-month interim basis was presented for Council approval. Councilmen Hunt and
