LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 17, 1992 3 ( I further move that the Lake Elmo City Administrator be directed to meet with the staff of Oakdale and Woodbury to determine if there is any basis for agreement between Lake Elmo and either of those two Cities so that Lake Elmo may receive capacity in the WONE interceptor. The results of such meetings shall be reported to the Lake Elmo City Council as soon as practical. (Motion carried 3-1: Mayor Johnson was opposed to the second paragraph of the motion.) The City Administrator polled each Council member regarding asking the Met Council for an extension to our Comp Plan Amendment (MUSA extension) so that the item would be removed from the Met Council's Community Development Committee's Monday, March 16th agenda. This was done so that the Council would have ample time to read and analyze the Met Council's staff report dated March 3, 1992 relative to this request. M/S/P Hunt/Williams - to direct the City Administrator to ask the Metropolitan Council to extend its review of the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan Amendment (MUSA extension) until April 30, 1992 so that the city council and city staff can analyze and respond to the Metropolitan Council's memo dated March 4, 1992. (Motion carried 4-0). B. Trans -City Investment - Request for on -site watchman i Kurt Lange, Administrator for Trans -City Investment, informed the Council that in the past eight months Trans - City has experienced much vandalism and destruction during the night time hours. Lange feared for the safety of his family and the tenants renting warehouse space and voiced his concern on the protection he has received from the Washington County Sheriff's Dept. Lange pointed out disparities in the Washington County Sheriff's complaint reports which were submitted to the Council. Trans -City is requesting the city to allow them to have a night watchman live on the premises in an efficient type apartment which has been part of the structure for years. Mr. Lange had informed Jim McNamara, the City's Code Enforcement Officer, that a person employed as a night watchman has been living on the property since the first of February. Mr. Lange lives with his family in a nearby house which is on the same parcel of land. Only one residence is allowed on the property which would make Trans -City Investment in violation of their C.U.P.. The Council assured Mr. Lange that they would take whatever steps are necessary to correct this problem in a most expeditious fashion. one council member indicated he was not ( willing to have anyone live there, but felt a better option would be to hire a guard.
