LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 17, 1992 7 B. Rogers vs. City of Lake Elmo Attorney Filla reported this lawsuit has been put back on the calendar in Ramsey County and the proposed trial date will be November of 1992. In terms to this timeframe, the City can try to pursue a resolution other than a court solution. This would have to involve the land corridor from a planning standpoint from the Intersection of 5 and Stillwater Blvd. west. This may mean new regulations, a new zoning district name, some input from MnDOT in terms of access and frontage road. The question raised is "When the City went from Industrial to RR, did you leave the property owner with a reasonable use of his land". RR is 1 per 10 and he has 17 acres. There was consensus on the Council they would be open to allowing more intensive use than one per ten and would consider some limited number of commercial uses. There was discussion on which uses permitted under the Limited Business zoning district would be appropriate for this parcel or should they establish a special zoning district. M/S/P Hunt/Mottaz - to direct the staff to work up a history file on the Rogers case which will include all the reasonable efforts and discussion of planning of that area for the April 6th council meeting and place this item of planning discussion for the area from Intersection of Hwy 5 to Stillwater Blvd, to Inwood Avenue under Planning/Land Use and Zoning at the following April 21st council meeting. (Motion carried 4-0). C. Derrick Land The City received a letter from Larry Bohrer, TKDA, advising us that acceptable plans dated March 16, 1992 prepared by Barr Engineering Co. for Derrick Land Company, Lots 2-4 Block 2, DeMontreville Highlands 3rd Addition, have been reviewed and approved by him. This completes the plan approval requirements of the stipulation agreement entered into by the City and Derrick. Attorney Filla has approved this plan extension from November 30, 1991 to April 1st, 1992 and the property owner should be allowed to proceed to install the drain tile system for Lots 2,3, and 4, and a series of tests will be done sometime the first part of May. M/S/P Hunt/Mottaz - to extend the deadline from November 30, 1991 to April 1st, 1992 for Derrick Land Company to install, at its cost, a drain tile system for Lots 2, 3 and 4, Block 2 DeMontreville Highlands Third Addition, according to plans and specifications dated March 16, 1992 approved by the City's Consulting Engineer. (Motion carried 4-0).
