LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 19, 1994 M/S/C Mottaz/Johnson - to authorize the staff to proceed entering in an agreement with Gaylen Springborn for planting the 19 acres located in Sunfish Lake Park for one year at $35/acre. (Motion carried 5-0). 5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: A. Ordinance rezoning Outlot A -Lake Elmo Heights 2nd Addition from RR to RE In his letter to the City, dated April 15, 1994, Attorney Filla provided his review or Resolution No. 87-33, Development Agreement, Declaration of Protection Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Outlot A, Lake Elmo Heights 2nd Addition. Filla explained the city has the authority to allow for the redevelopment of Outlot A which would be accomplished by changing zoning regulations and approving a plat for the redevelopment of Outlot A. In addition, if the City wishes to proceed in this manner, it should adopt a motion amending Section 6 of Resolution No. 87-33. M/S/C Mottaz/Johnson - to remove the motion back onto the table. (Motion carried 5-0). Larry Mann, 8301 27th St. N, presented a petition on behalf of thirteen homeowners in Lake Elmo Heights, requesting the city council deny rezoning of Lake Elmo Heights, Outlot A. M/S/C Conlin/John - to adopt Ordinance 8094, An Ordinance amending Section 301.070C. of the 1979 Lake Elmo Municipal Code rezoning Outlot A, Lake Elmo Heights 2nd Addition, from Rural Residential (RR) to Residential Estates (RE) . (Motion carried 4-1:Mottaz felt the city allowed an exception to the zoning in the Ist addition of Lake Elmo Heights allowing more homes on the entire parcel and allowed clustering to reduce road construction costs, but required the developer to establish Outlot A to be used for a single home and agricultural purposes, and the developer accepted this proposal. The city should not now renege on this #6 provision in Resolution 87-33. This would allow a more dense concentration of homes than what we now allow under RAD zoning.) The majority of the Council expressed their concern with the developer's attempt at annexing this land to Oakdale. If that occurs, this land would end up in very high density housing. The majority of the council felt allowing the development of Outlot A is responsible planning for the long term. M/S/C Johnson/John - to amend Resolution No. 87-33, A Resolution approving the Final Plat to Lake Elmo Heights 2nd Addition, by deleting Condition #6., "Outlot A will remain open space and nothing more than one single family dwelling will be allowed on Outlot A." (Motion carried 4-1:Mottaz:Same reason as stated before).
