LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 6, 1994 Armstrong denied it and said they would need to change the conditions of the CUP. That's when the merry-go-round started for this amount of time. John Bodey stated he sent a letter supporting the Council's decisions. As adjacent property owners, they are concerned about the effects of the additional changes the Armstrongs would like to add to the CUP which could have negative affect on property values. They would definitely be opposed to any further changes or amendment allowing a large structure to his CUP, and they support the 100 vehicle limitation Annette Pierre stated she is getting more water onto her property and into her basement and believes it is the water runoff off of the existing pole buildings. Armstrong responded the water problem does not have anything to do with the buildings, but with the drainage ditch which has not been cleaned up for many years. Mr. Meehan thought those buildings should be built down by Ideal Avenue where he has property along the railroad. All the property values are going to fall. Attorney Filla suggested he provide the council with a memo giving the council the part of the minutes that are relevant to this topic during that period of time. Mayor John suggested the city engineer visit the Pierre property in relation to the construction of 15th Street and the ditches and the Pierre's water problem Mr. Armstrong requested that whatever the city attorney furnishes for the city council that he would be furnished a copy so they could respond. If the city engineer visits the property, Armstr ong requests the engineer let him know so he or his son can accompany him and point out the problem with the drainage ditch. M/S/P John/Mottaz - to table for two weeks, to enable the city attorney to review the record and present a chronology summary to the City Council before they make a decision as to what has transpired over time and what decisions were made.
