LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 20, 1991 PAGE 5 There will be virtually no product recovery, but there will be a 50 gallon tank in the building if any products are recovered (60 gallons is the maximum). The building will be screened with landscape and classified as an accessory building. All monitoring and testing is controlled by MPCA, and reports will be submitted to the City to keep updated. Kunz Oil Company is paying for this project. The Fire Marshall and City Building Official have been contacted, and all codes will be met. The storage tanks were removed a year ago. The process involves ground water pumped up through a filtration system and the discharged water will be so clean you could drink it. M/S/P Hunt/Dick Johnson - to approve the site and building plan for Kunz Oil Company for the construction of a temporary building for the clean- up of the sight contingent on a performance bond with the City, guaranteeing removal of the temporary structure within 3 months after approval from the MPCA that the clean-up is completed, in an amount to be determined by the city building official and city engineer to be posted prior to issuance of the building permit. (Motion carried 4-0). E. JOHN M. DAY FARM ADDITION VARIANCE The City Council approved final plat for the John M. Day Farm Addition, but at a later council meeting the aspect ratio of Lot 8 was questioned and a variance for this lot was required. The council would like to state clearly its reasons for granting a variance to this plat for Lot 8 in order to not set a precedent. M/S/P Dick Johnson/Hunt - in the matter of the John M. Day Farm Addition final plat on which Lot 8 was not in strict compliance with the City Ordinance 301.070 D.2.c. (page 301-32) the City Councils reasons for approving the plat are: 1) the lot met the spirit of the ordinance; 2) the lot configuration had to be configured to meet the requirements of the Valley Branch Watershed District, which is a hardship. (Motion carried 4-0). 8. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. PUBLIC HEARING: RESOLUTION 91-28: ASSESSMENT FOR HYTRAIL AVENUE N.
