M/S/P Conlin/Johnston - the council gives authorization to Mayor John to execute this Joint Resolution of the Cities of Lake Elmo and Oakdale, A Resolution affecting the detachment of certain lands from the City of Lake Elmo and the annexation of such lands to the city of Oakdale; conditioned upon amending of the legal description, if necessary, to designate primary responders or in the alternative to have such designation made by agreement between the cities.

Councilman DeLapp asked that Findings of Fact; such as, unique characteristics, location, access, types of roads, mix of residence and church, business be included as our basis for support of this transfer of land to Oakdale in a letter submitted to the Municipal Board that goes along with the resolution. M/S/P Hunt/Conlin - to direct the city staff to draft a letter to go with this resolution from Lake Elmo to the Municipal Board documenting the reasons for support of this transfer of land to the City of Oakdale. (Motion passed 5-0). B. Derrick Land Co.:Revised Proposal for Lot 2, DeMontreville Highlands 3rd Addition At the December 6, 1994 meeting, because of the intense interest on the part of the neighbors, the council invited the neighbors for their input on Lot 2 before a decision is made. Larry Bohrer reported that the request of Derrick Land Company is: 1. Revise the grading plan for lot 2. That revision would constitute amending the top of the proposed fill from the elevation where it stands today, approx. (979) and raise that 2' (981). 2. If that's approved, issue a grading permit to allow that work. The Council received a letter from the residents adjacent to and across from the Derrick mounds requesting the Council to deny Derrick's current request to modify the lot. Neighbors explained for several days after a rain or snow melt, water runs across the road and down to Lake DeMontreville at the corner of Hytrail Avenue N. and Highlands Trail creating icy conditions at that corner due to the runoff. Other concerns was the visibility is already reduced at the same corner due to the current height of the existing mound, and with 2 more feet of fill would further reduce the visibility and the additional fill on the existing ground wouldn't conform with the surrounding landscape.
