LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JANUARY 31. 1995 constitution have been violated, and we are prepared to file suit. Rather than do that, we would rather go to Oakdale. Rather than do that, we would like to straighten it out and put it back to the way we requested it. The staff of Oakdale is willing to have us and we feel we would be in a much better situation there." Council member Conlin responded, "this is not a personal thing about the Armstrongs. I view the expansion of this CUP, alternative Ag for storage as spotzoning. There are other Ag areas in this city which owners could come before the city and ask for the same special privileges and the city would be hard pressed to deny them without appearing to be selective." When the Armstrongs initially came to the city with your proposal to have storage to make it a legal business to set it up as a CUP, you made a statement that you were asking for everything you wanted then. The neighbors and everyone agreed to that. Now, it is a different story. M/S/P Hunt/ DeLapp - to postpone consideration of the request from Thomas G. Thomas P. and Jodie Armstrong, Douglas Decoster, requesting city approval for the annexation request as outlined in their December 13, 1994 letter until after the first council meeting after the joint meeting with the planning commission.
