LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 15, 1994 4 ..6. B. PUBLIC HEARING: Variance to rear lot setback Applicants: MlcroSota/Rovak C. Site & Plan Review: MicroSota/Rovak M/S/P Johnston/John - to remove agenda item 6B from the table. (Motion passed 5-0). Councilman Johnson pointed out that on Page 2 of Jeff Smyser's report, November 8, 1994, there is a table listing the standards found in the zoning code for the GB district and the approximate dimensions of the subject property. According to this table, there are other variances needed by MicroSota. Also, the location of the sign does not appear to meet the requirement of 10' from the property line. Filla added a variance needs to be granted to part of the code where you cannot expand a non -conforming use. The Council indicated they are sympathetic with the proposal and it's a great asset to the city if we can work out variances. The hardship is the business is located in the Old Village and they need to have variances to continue. M/S/P Mottaz/John - to reschedule a public hearing to December 6, 1994 for MicroSota with all applicable variances be included. (Motion passed 5-0). E. Lake Elmo Municipal Code Text Amendment relating to reinstatement of Alternative Ag. Applicants: Thomas G., Thomas P. and Jodi Armstrong. (Tentative based on Planning Commission's action) - DELETED F. Conditional Use Permit Amendment - Applicant: Thomas G.Thomas P. and Jodi Armstrong. (Tentative based on Planning Commission's action). - DELETED G. Letter.from Washington County regarding spelling of "Jamaca" The city received a letter from Donald Theisen, Deputy Director of Public Works - Washington County, indicated several communities have recently asked Washington County about the possibility of changing the spelling of "Jamaca Avenue" to "Jamaica Avenue". The County's role in any such change would be strictly advisory since compliance with the Washington County Uniform Street Naming and Property Numbering system is voluntary and the actual naming of streets is the jurisdiction of each municipality. Should the communities which would be affected by this name change approve of the revised spelling, the county will introduce a resolution to the County Board to amend the Naming System and that the resolution be passed by December 1, 1994 so that the change can be made by the end of the year. The cost of resigning affected roads would be roughly $10 per street sign for materials. and installation costs are approximately $30 per hour. These costs would be passed to the city.
