LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 1, 1991 2 Ann Bucheck, 2301 Legion Avenue, stated she attended the September 27th hearing where Mayor Johnson and Councilman Mottaz asked the judge to vacate an order regarding the rezoning of land for development to be known as Stonegate.

Mayor Johnson and Councilman Mottaz were accused engaging in unauthorized practice of law which constitutes a misdemeanor.
