LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 16, 1994 M/S/P Mottaz/John - to instruct the City Administrator to thank Metro East for the opportunity to review the Roadway Express Development Proposal. (Motion passed 5- 0). G. Leonard Hanson property on 1-94 Mr. Leonard Hanson, 10824 Hudson Blvd., would like to sell his property and he feels is worth more than a single family structure. He has been taxed as a multi -unit structure and has been able to homestead only a portion of the primary structure. Filla reported the property is zoned Ag; therefore, can be used for those uses that are permitted in the Ag zone or as conditional uses which have been approved for the site. It is possible there may be some other uses that over a period of time the city has allowed to continue and we might be estopped from asserting our regulations at the present time. If a grandmother apartment was approved at one time, it was approved for a specific use by a relative of the family. If that now has been converted to another kind of use, that may be illegal. Filla would like to review the history behind this site. M/S/P Johnston/Mottaz - to refer this matter to the city attorney to review the history behind this site and determine if there are any other kinds of uses that we have intentionally or inadvertently allowed to occur on this site that can now through legal theory continue to exist. (Motion passed 5-0). H. Planning Commission Request The Council authorized the city planner to attend the August 23, 1994 planning commission meeting to discuss the PUD Ordinance. 7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: A. Partial Payment #6 - Tower Asphalt M/S/P Johnston/Johnson - to approve partial payment #6 in the amount of $25,697.05 to Tower Asphalt for work on the 1993 MSA Project based on a favorable recommendation from the city engineer. (Motion passed 5-0). B. Rolling Hills: Escrow Reduction Larry Bohrer reported the developer has completed the bituminous surfacing work on the Rolling Hills Subdivision. Satisfactory bituminous inspection and testing was performed. The only remaining work is some traffic signing (which is usually put up by the public Works Dept. and paid by the Developer) and payment of outstanding pass - through costs. The one-year guarantee provided for in the Developer's Agreement would begin now.
