LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 5, 1991 The following Lake Elmo Heights residents, Paul Bernardy, Denny Seigler, Larry Mann, Peter Buckles, Jean Sluss, advised the Council they purchased their property with the understanding that Out Lot A would continue to be used for Agricultural and/or Open Space purposes consistent with the City's cluster development regulations. Paul Bernardy indicated they were not in favor of this annexation and asked what they as residents could do. Councilman Williams suggested that these residents go back thru their records from Mr. Bishop or any of his representatives describing what the situation was supposed to be and supply those documents to our City staff. Williams explained there are two bills that relate to annexation procedures which will be introduced in the state legislature this year, Senate File 1013 and companion bill House File 1496. He asked the residents to write or call their legislators and inform them what a travesty the existing regulations are causing on development policies of our city. The City will have copies of these bills. C. Petition for Speed Study on CSAH 35 The City received a letter from the Tri-Lakes Association requesting we take whatever action is necessary to lower the speed limit on CSAH 35. The Council asked the Administrator to write a letter to the Tri- Lakes Association indicating the entire city is being surveyed and the County has already asked MnDOT, by resolution, to do a speed study independent of the other. D. No agenda Item E. Park Plan - Set date & time for public hearing The Council received a copy of the Lake Elmo Park Plan for their review and comments. The Parks Commission voted (7-0) to accept this Plan at their meeting on October 21, 1991. Mike Black indicated in his memo, dated October 31, 1991, that as an amendment to the City's Comp Plan, this Plan should be referred to the Planing Commission for a public hearing. It would then come back to City Council for consideration before submission to the Metropolitan Council and then back to the City Council for final approval. The Council postponed action on the proposed park plan until the November 19th Council meeting.
