LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 6, 1993 Emerson/Mordick M/S/C Johnson/Johnston - to direct the staff to prepare a resolution approving the Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the Emerson/Mordick 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). B. Alternate Ag Uses Thomas G. Armstrong, 8281 15th St. N., provided the city attorney a second draft (June 27, 1993) of proposed changes to the Alternative Agricultural Ordinance. Attorney Filla commented that its apparent that the current wording of the Alternate Ag regulations is broad enough to allow almost any kind of use within an Ag zone if you have the appropriate number of acres, properly screened and non-agricultural use. As time goes by, the city may find itself with property owners who want to split off part of their Ag property for other residential uses and have them located next to what remains physically as Alternate Ag development in a way the city wouldn't normally allow under regular planning regulations. There could be pockets of industrial or commercial property located in the center of Ag land that may in the future be zoned something other than agricultural. M/S/C Mottaz/Johnston - to direct the Planning Commission to review the Alternate Ag Regulations and come back to the council with recommendations for changes at their earliest date, and the city attorney will submit his concerns to the PZ. (Motion carried 5-0). 10. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: A. Corporate Credit Card M/S/C Mottaz/Conlin - to approve a credit card, with a $1,000 limit, through the Lake Elmo bank with the authorization of the city administrator's signature.. (Motion carried 5-0), B. Team -Building Session M/S/C Conlin/Mottaz - to table discussion about a Goal Setting Team Building Retreat until the July 20, 1993 council meeting. (Motion carried 5-0). C.
