LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 26, 1993 Mayor John called the council meeting to order at 7:08 p.m. in the city council chamber.

(Motion carried 5-0). 1993 MSA IMPROVEMENTS: Mayor John opened up the Public Hearing at 7:10 p.m. in the council chambers. The public hearing notice to pass upon the proposed assessment for the 1993 MSA Improvements, Reconstruction of Jamaca Avenue between TH5 and Lake Jane Trail and Lake Jane Trail between Jamaca Avenue and Jane Road was published in the October 12, 1993 Stillwater Gazette and the Stillwater Gazette Extra on October 13, 1993 and all affected property owners were notified. Larry Bohrer reported the total amount to be assessed is $48,950 which is only about 5 1/2% of what the total project actually costs. The remainder is made up of Municipal State Aid Funds. It is proposed to assess each buildable lot abutting these streets $1,100/1-ot. For the purpose of assessment, a lot is defined as the maximum number of lots which a parcel could be divided into under present zoning. No. of Units: 44 1/2 Total Assessment: $1,100/Unit Mayor John closed the public hearing at 7:15 p.m. Jim Jungmann, 9404 Lake Jane Trail, asked the following questions: When and who is going to take care of the damage done to his property? The brick columns on the west end of his driveway have been tilted because of excavation and the elevation of his driveway needs to be taken care of. He was asked if they could move the power pole back into his property 4'. If he allows this, how are the trimming of his trees going to be handled? Bohrer explained in order to qualify for state aid funds we have to construct the road in accordance to state standards. One of the standards is safety if a car should leave the road. There should not be any fixed objects within 32' of the center line of the road. Bohrer will inquire from NSP if alley arms could be used and will have a NSP representative in charge of tree trimming look at the trees to see if they can be trimmed uniformly. Bohrer will set up a meeting with Mr. Jungmann in order to review these concerns.
