LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 20, 1993 F. Comprehensive Plan Amendments - Direction requested from Planning Commission M/S/C Conlin/Johnson - to inform the Planning Commission that the council will review the FLU plan for city initiated changes to the Comp Plan jointly at the annual meeting at the Planning Commission's first meeting in May because our Comprehensive Plan requires this. (Motion carried 5-0.) F(f). Discussion on PZ action on the feasibility of establishing RE on the eastern border of the City in relation to the Geotschel/Klatt property Council member Conlin indicated the PZ did not favorably receive establishing RE on the eastern border of the city and she was in error when she voted against the comp plan amendment for the Geotschel/Klatt property because she did not find a provision in the comp plan or in the code that required adjacency for rezoning. Conlin explained she supports RE along the east border of the city and made the following motion. M/S/C Conlin/Johnston - to amend prior council action of July 6, 1993 on the request for the Comp Plan amendment for Geotschel/Klatt property by directing the staff to prepare a resolution approving the Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the Geotschel/Klatt property, changing the future land use designation from RAD to Residential Estate Density (RED), conditional upon submitting this minor amendment to the Metropolitan Council and receiving a determination from the Metropolitan Council Chair of no system impact. (Motion carried 5-0.) M/S/C Conlin/John - to call a public hearing as soon as possible to reconsider a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the Geotschel/Klatt property changing the future land use designation from RAID to Residential Estate Density (RED). (Motion carried 5- 0.) G. "Rural" Definition - Request from Planning Commission If we do a survey and collect data, Council member Johnston asked for what purpose would we be using this information. Johnston also questioned budget implications for this survey process. Council member Conlin felt it would be helpful for the Council to have some indication from residents on how they would like to see Lake Elmo in the future. Councilman Johnson pointed out in preparation of the 1979 Comp Plan the city authorized a professional survey done and we should look back at the questions that were asked. He would like the council to review the survey questions before they are placed in the newsletter.
