LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 24, 1991 5 Violet, Marilyn Durow: We are the farmers who have 60 acres. we are confused and concerned about getting assessed. Martin Colon: By going to 1/2 mile, the initial cost of any interceptor or trunk line would be spread over twice the property. Councilman Williams: If you size the facility for the 1/2 mile area, then those properties that are paying for it up front are going to pay a lot more than if it was sized for a 1/4 mile. Bob Ungerman: Could there be something put in the city council minutes that states the wish of the City Council that there would be no premature assessments. Steve DeLapp: Is the type of high quality commercial office park development comfortable with the landowners to the east of Highway 13. Martin Colon: The intersection should go into some type of retail mode. Wally Ebertz Owns property by County Road 19 and 94. I would not want to see the Council narrowly or specifically decide the land use along the frontage, but should let the marketplace dictate land use and keep an open mind. Mayor Johnson: What are the kinds of things you would not see as likely candidates for a high quality development district with reference to your property. Wally Ebertz: It is hard to see the entire stretch develop into office park use. Bob Ungerman: A lumber yard does not necessarily fit into high class office park. Jack Dolan, Dolan Marine: I came to the meeting for information, gather thoughts, and then make a decision. Dorothy Lyons: We live outside of the MUSA area. Lake Elmo is unique and concurs with the adjacent property owners in favor of 1/2 mile extension. We don't have to make the same mistakes as Bloomington or Roseville. I would like to see more business come into the area and do not want to see any leave. Asked the City Engineer to look into how land could be serviced on the north side.
