LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 25, 1994 2 Washington County Deputy, Kim Carey, asked the council's permission to implement a crime prevention program in the city through the Sheriff's Dept.. When a. building permit is applied for, a letter from the Sheriff's office with information from the crime prevention program will be handed out. The letter will explain how the Deputies would be willing to come out during the construction phase and do a home security survey and give suggestions on lighting or placement of windows. If this pilot program works in Lake Elmo and West Lakeland, the Sheriff's Dept. will go county wide with the program. The city council supported the concept and asked that the letter on the program be brought back to the council. 5. PUBLIC INFORMATIONAL A. "No Parking" on Jamaca Avenue N. and Lake Jane Trail Dan Olinger indicated a need to increase the "No Parking" zone on the following streets: on both sides of Lake Jane Trail North, from 250 feet West of Jamaca Avenue to Jane Road North and on both sides of Jamaca Avenue North, 475 feet south of its intersection with Lake Jane Trail, because people are currently parking in these areas and walking across private property to get to the west end of the lake to fish. M/S/C Mottaz/John - to adopt Ordinance 8091, an ordinance amending Section 1001.040G, and adding Section 1002.040J to the 1979 Municipal code of Lake Elmo. (Motion carried 5-0). The present ordinance does not allow an exception to the parking regulations for special circumstances, such as graduations, for parking to be allowed upon issuance of a permit by the city administrator. All the parking regulations should be reviewed and a general statement would have to be added. M/S/C Mottaz/Conlin - to direct the staff to prepare a resolution authorizing temporary (time limit set) on street parking for special circumstances upon issuance of a permit by the city administrator. (Motion carried 5-0). Olinger asked the council to consider installing a full three-way stop at Jamaca and Lake Jane Trailintersection to prevent speeding on the newly reconstructed road in that area. John asked for consideration and public opinion of stop signs on Jane Road N. and Jamaca on the north side of Lake Jane. Councilman Johnson asked that the staff check with MN/DOT to determine if stop signs will improve the situation and request confirmation. These requests will be added to the next council agenda.
