LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 17, 1993 C. Ordinance amending Section 301.070D.1.B(6) Allowing Recording Studios in AG Zoning District At their August 9, 1993 meeting, the Planning Commission, on a 7-0 vote, recommended that the code be amended to allow Recording Studios by Conditional Use Permit in the Agricultural Zoning District. Although the council members were sympathetic to the applicant and not opposed to the recording studio, they expressed concerns about expanding uses and turning the AG zone into a General Business zone. Since four votes are required to amend the code and there were only four council members in attendance, the council tabled action on this item until there was a full Council. M/S/C Johnson/Mottaz - to table agenda item until the September 7, 1993 city council meeting. D. Resolution granting CUP for recording studio in AG Zoning Dist. (Driscoll & Daughter) M/S/C Johnson/Mottaz - to table agenda item until the September 7, 1993 city council meeting. (Motion carried 4-0). E. Ordinance moving buildings into city Attorney Filla incorporated the changes directed by the City Council into the ordinance and a draft ordinance relating to Moving of Buildings was submitted for council consideration. M/S/C Mottaz/Johnson - to adopt ordinance 8088, as amended, Moving Buildings. (Motion carried 4-0). F. Ordinance to impose "No Wake" rule Residents have raised concerns about the erosion occurring because of the boats on the lake during this time when the water is so high. Suggestions were made to impose the no wake regulation when the water level reached the 100 year flood elevation and another when it reached the Ordinary High Water Mark. Molly Shodeen, DNR, suggested that the City Administrator work with the DNR's Information And Education department to help determine these levels. Mayor John suggested some type of benchmark indicating the level for no wake at the public access and elsewhere on the lake. M/S/C Mottaz/Johnston - to table until the city administrator receives comments from the DNR. (Motion carried 4-0).
