LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 1, 1994 Ellen Sampson, Peter Bachman and Pam Steckman. On the basis of the estimate of hours Ms Sampson has provided, the cost to us will be in the area of $10,050. The City Administrator received a letter from Terrence Merritt, Municipal Board, indicating prior to completing their review of the correspondence from the city concerning D-248 Lake Elmo/A-4573 Oakdale, they wish to give all parties to the original proceeding an opportunity to review the information and determine that some parcels that were included in the Board's order to concurrently detach and annex that were not originally petitioned for, and some that were petitioned for that were not included in the Board's Order. Comments should be made by November 15, 1994, Council member Conlin asked that the city look at proposed legislation on how annexation affects other cities and not specifically to Section 32. Councilman Johnson asked that a bill be put together to hand to the legislature that would do away with land grabbing and if the city attorney could put together an aggressive plan to go after these issues M/S/P Mottaz/Johnson - to instruct the staff to work through the city attorney to the Municipal Board, direct city attorney to respond by November 9 council meeting to Terry Merritt's letter and direct Sampson, Steckman, Bachman to look at potential annexation legislation state-wide, not just for Section 32. (Motion passed 5-0). B. Olson Lake Estates Pond Mayor John attended the Valley Branch Watershed District meeting on October 17 to follow up on the letter sent to them by Chuck Dayton on our behalf. John reported Chairman Zetterberg did not want to remove study of the four options from the plan. He expected the reviewing bodies to comment and reject a particular solution they found unacceptable or to add additional conditions. He cited the requirement to add a bypass duct across the south end on Lake Elmo in the 509 Project as a precedent. They Instructed their engineer to write the reviewing bodies asking that they pay specific attention to these proposals for the Olson Lake Estates discharge and to comment on the solutions. Mayor John will be talking to Molly Shodeen, DNR, and will ask to be on the Tri-Lakes Assoc. agenda to give an update on Olson Lake Estates Pond. 7. PLANNING/LAND USE & ZONING: A.
