LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 20, 1993 M/S/C Johnson/Mottaz - to direct the Planning Commission establish a task force to assemble a comprehensive survey (Suggestions: how would you like to see Lake Elmo develop without using the word "rural", surface water use, park use, proposed trail system) of the citizens of Lake Elmo and submit survey to the city council for issuance. (Motion carried 5-0.) H. "No Parking signs requested on Lake Elmo Avenue (Adjacent to Tartan Park) M/S/C Johnston/Mottaz - to direct the staff to draft a resolution requesting Washington County to look into the feasibility of erecting "No Parking Signs" from the Tartan Park entrance gate on the west side on County Road 17, Lake Elmo Avenue, for about 300 yards south on both sides of the road. If it is feasible in their opinion, Lake Elmo would request these signs be placed. (Motion carried 5-0.) I. Travel Plaza (concept) 1-94 and County Road 19 Attorney Filla explained the court order did not prevent the city from changing its comprehensive plan that the city has done and now there are rules that Federal Land has to comply with. As part of their application they would make a request to amend the comp plan to suit their proposal and rezone. The city would have to decide if they would want to agree with those changes to the comp plan and rezoning. Legally, the city does not have to listen to their presentation unless they comply with the code. M/S/C Mottaz/Johnson - to set up a joint meeting at a future date of the City Council, Planning and Parks Commissions to review and consider the proposed Travel Plaza on CR 19 and 1-94. (Motion carried 5-0.) 7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. Resolution approving Plans and Specifications for 1993 Overlays Larry Bohrer reported Steve Ziniel, Kraft Circle, has reconstructed his driveway and has improved the slope and raised it up from the existing bituminous surface. Bohrer has reviewed a proposal with Mr. Ziniel to improve the drainage in the area by offering to regrade approximately 150 sq.yds. of his north lawn area to improve the drainage away from the street. This is included in the bid package as a separate bid. Mr. Ziniel is undecided if he wants the lawn improvement done right away or just have the overlay done and observe how it works. Bohrer believes the yard improvement will still be necessary. Attorney Filla commented if the city has any exposure today it will be less after this project because we are improving whatever is there now. M/S/C Mottaz/Johnston - to adopt Resolution Nos. 93-47 through 93-55 directing the City Engineer to prepare the plans and specifications for the 1993 Overlays and adopt Resolution No. 93-57 approving plans and ordering advertisement for bids for the 1993 Overlays. (Motion carried 5-0.)
