LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 6, 1991 PAGE 4 Ordinance 8055: Subdivision Displays Ordinance 8056: Landscape Standards M/S/P Williams/Hunt - to adopt Ordinance 8054 and 8055 as presented and Ordinance 8056 as amended: (Section 3. Developer shall provide spaced or clustered plantings to one and one-half inch caliper deciduous trees at a rate of two per 100 lineal feet on both sides of the street, between 0 and 5' to the inside of the right-of-way for rural sections and between 5 and 10' to the inside of right-of-way for urban sections. (Motion carried 3-2: Mayor Johnson: Referred to the Draft amendment to the MDIF for rural service area. Criteria talks about local plans that are inconsistent with the MDIF rural area policies. It states specifically some communities have already developed residential densities greater than 1 unit per 10 acres. Exception to the policy for the rural area will be considered only for communities that cannot met the policy because of the existing subdivisions or land development. RE within regional planning guidelines is something in the future that will not be allowed; therefore, question of these motions is premature. RE is inconsistent with Met Council's policies; Mottaz: The Met Council commented unfavorably on RE when reviewing the Comp Plan. We should wait and see what the Met Council is going to do in their final action on the proposed amendments, and he does not like the idea of telling a person on how he has to landscape his lot.) D. Response from Steve Korhel re: Rolling Hills Subdivision At the July 16th meeting, the City Administrator was directed to write a i letter to Steve Korhel for comments on the proposal submitted by Quentin Wood, the engineer for the Rolling Hills Development. Mr. Korhel responded he would not be interested in providing a road right-of-way or grading easement. M/S/P Williams/Hunt - to require the developer of Rolling Hills develop the road from Fox Fire Manor to Keats Avenue solely on Rolling Hills' property and to provide public road right-of-way dedicated to the City (easement to north edge from Korhel property as determined by consultation with City Engineer.) (Motion carried 5-0). E. John Day Farm Addition Final Plat Councilman Williams pointed out the John Day Farm Addition Final Plat presented.to the City Council is different from the Final Plat the Council had approved. Lot 8 does not meet the aspect ratio of our code. M/S/P Williams/Mottaz - the City Administrator convey to the landowner the city does not intend to sign the Final Plat until the aspect ratio is corrected (Lot 8 has a ratio of 5 1/2 to 1).and recommend the surveyor be notified to work with the landowner to bring this into conformance. Also questioned, "What constitutes the side of a lot?") (Motion carried 5-0) 7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT:
