LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 19, 1993 (B) Surface Water Utility (Barbara Walsh) Barb Walsh expressed her concern that the council establish a plan for surface water management. She would also like to see surface water management treated as a utility for which people would write out a $15 check each year. Mayor John said that surface water management is addressed as a line item in the annual budget, but it may not be as large as people want to see it. Councilman Johnson did not believe that a separate utility should be created for surface water management because of the costs associated with billing the utility. It makes no sense to collect revenue as a utility when it could be handled as a line item on the budget. M/S/C John/Johnson - to request the city engineer provide a cost estimate for developing a Surface Water Management Plan for the November 2, 1993 meeting. (Motion carried 5-0). (C) Announce Jaycee Benefit Program of Sesame Street Live Mayor John attended the Lake Elmo Jaycee meeting and was informed of the benefit performance, Sesame Street Live --When I Grow Up, scheduled for Thursday, December 2, 1993 at 7 p.m. at the Target Center. 6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: (A) Resolution No. 93-71:Minor Subdivision for Collyard/Colisimo The Council received a letter from Attorney Greg Galler who represents Danny and Gail Collyard with respect to trying to solve the problems associated with the property they own located at 8896 Jane Road North. This request was tabled at the last regular council meeting. If any costs are incurred by the city in connection with moving the cul-de-sac, they will be paid for by the Colisimos. Prior to construction of the new cul-de-sac, temporary easements shall be granted to the city for Parcel A and Parcel B. This subdivision and variance request are the result of an agreement between the two parties regarding an ongoing civil lawsuit over property on Isle Avenue. The address of the existing home at 8896 Jane Road N. be changed to 5011 Isle Avenue North. M/SIC Johnson/Johnston - to adopt Resolution 93-71 granting a minor subdivision conditioned as stated in the resolution to Danny and Gail Collyard and Ronald and Grace Colisimo and a variance for the extension of temporary cul-de-sac on Isle Avenue to permit the Collyards a more direct access to the publicly improved and maintained right-of-way similarly to everybody else in the neighborhood based upon the city would not be changing the character of the neighborhood nor would the city be granting any more of a variance than the minimum required. (Motion carried 5-0).
